Man Utd Fan Stabbed

[Simon Morgan]

Exactly, why else would a Utd fan be staying in Rome tonight?

Champions league final tommorow,30000 Man United fan's in rome, This has happened before when Manure played Roma.
How much more evidence is needed to convince you?

I'm not saying he's not a football fan. I'm saying he might not have been attacked because he was a football fan.

The final is tonight, btw. Cheers.

The Police havent released any details other than it was in the early hours of the morning, so yes he was probably drunk, i quite often am when im on holiday in the early hours, I would never say im asking to get stabbet though!

Thankfully hes been released from Hospital, so it would seem is not too seriously injured.

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner, sadly. There was always gonna be incidents in Rome wasn't there? Apparently he was stabbed in his thigh outside his hotel - when a group of 4 men targeted him. At least it doesn't sound like it's life-threatening.

Something more needs to be done to stop this happening again, its happened before and it will happen again in the coming days, Im not sure what the police can do but someone will probably lose their life in the near future because of the hardcore Roma fanbase who attack/stab rival fans on a regular basis.
Which quite frankly is totally unacceptable and has no place in football.

The Italians seem to have a thing for slashing people across the arse with a Stanley (or Italian equivalent)

Italian police are looking for a gang of midget Ultras.

Is Hiney over there as well ?

1) Of course he didn't say 'Can I please be stabbed'
2) I did say probably, English tourists always get themselves into trouble.

Yes Rome is a very bad place to go but if you have any sense you wont wear a Man Utd shirt till near, or even in, the stadium and you wouldn't go around chanting or anything.

changed my mind, more important things to do than waste time on inconsequential runts.

Don't forget that the Lazio lot are barely pacifists either..

It's not "in football".

 

[NMH]

perhaps?

Is that Maradona on the right?

It's not "in football".

It is because its Man United fans being stabbed by opposition fans, And I think you'll find fans are a BIG part of football.

UEFA has now got blood on its hands. There is NO WAY Rome should EVER host a Champions League final with the track record of regular stabbings in that city. It was just waiting to happen, absolutely inevitable.

They still could have switched the venue when it became apparent MONTHS ago that once again an english team would be in the Final. But no, they still let it go ahead, where everyone knows damn well the Italian fans will be once again engaging in their stabby-stabby game which they particularly enjoy against english fans. This will NOT be the last stabbing today, you can guarantee it. Someone is walking around Rome right now who will, later on, be fightnig for his life in hospital.

Still, its only football fans. Not like Platini and his bigwig sponsors will be exposed to the Italian nutters around that staduim today and tonight is it.

Stabbing someone below the waist in Italy is not as a serious offence as the upper body! ridiculous!

A strongly-worded thread on NSC ought to do it.
