So UEFA will deal with Liverpool five days after the final, thus ruling out the only sanction which can have any effect. Many on here want them to have to play behind closed doors, but our coach was attacked before the match on the public highway, outside the ground along a route publicised by the police force which had pointed out that letting off flares and smoke bombs in a public place carries a prison sentence, but the force which failed to arrest anyone for anything. And anyway that seething mass of God-knows-how-many is only a "small minority" of their fans, and the club are European royalty after fans defended their club's honour royally in the final of 1985. Any sane football authority would award the tie to City and save the announcement of a 3 year European ban until May 31.
