[Football] Liverpool v Roma

[Weststander]

Smash-proof windows on a coach? They need to be able to be smashed so as to facilitate passenger escape in the event of an accident,fire or similar.

There is a second inner pane of super strong glass on these luxury team coaches. It protected Lingard & Co from an Agincourt of bottles and bricks at West Ham in 2016.

Roma fans like maiming people:

They stabbed 5 Man Utd fans in 2007:

And Arsenal 2009:

And Spurs 2012:

They're no doubt proud of the 'bravery' each time. The common link here is fans of Roma, with Lazio awful too.

You missed Boro in 2006

There is a pointed metal hammer inside the coach which is there for emergencies. That would smash a window, whereas bottles and bricks don't.

Westander is right. The second inner pane withstood the brick that was thrown at the coach I was on. The outer window broke into tiny pieces, but the coach driver drove on, so we were away from the idiots who threw the brick. A few miles down the road, he stopped the coach, and removed the broken pieces, but the inner pane stood strong.

Flares/smoke are not only dangerous, more so when thrown, but also hide the identities of those around them who may be fighting or throwing bottles.

Flares and smoke are dangerous for fans who suffer with asthma.

I was on the Albion coach to canvey in the FA cup when some ICF lobbed a bollard through the window.

As I recall it was ""kings of the road" rather than B&H busses that day but I didn't half wallop some tall streak of piss with dreadlocks outside the wimpy.

There were rows all over that day. I walked about 3 miles to benfleet to get the train back to Brighton because the subbies wouldn't let us up canvey way afterwards.

Probably the best Brighton mob I've ever seen, even though there was only about 15. We were in the Hoy and Anchor. Still got our shirts in there I think.
