Riot police on standby in Manchester
 
One of the big screens that's showing the match live has failed.

Quote:
FOOTBALL fans pelted the big screen in Piccadilly with bottles after it failed to show the match when it kicked off.

The screen was hit by a technical fault as the match between Rangers and FC Zenit Petersburg started at 7.45pm.

Fans reacted with fury when the live footage failed to show and some started throwing bottles at the screen.

Riot police have been deployed around Piccadilly Gardens fan zone, standing in a line facing Rangers’ fans who threw bottles and cans at them.

A Russian fan was taken to hospital after being stabbed outside the City of Manchester Stadium before the game.

The man was stabbed in the back but his injuries were reported as non-life threatening.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said six men, all believed to be Rangers fans, had been arrested in connection with the incident.

Only joking. I visit Manchester often. It's a cool place. Last time I was there the Police advised the pubs in the city centre to close because of some football trouble is it a regular event.

Where were the litter police? Imagine the amount of money the council could have made there from on-the-spot fines. Or is it just apple droppers they're after? ;) Bottles were thrown at the police, thank goodness it wasn't apples! Video

That's all football is about these days they should ban it...' All pathetic anyway the way they behave even without rioting, all loud and over the top. Like little spoilt brats, TV's not working so throw a tantrum...pathetic. The police could have had this well under control before it happened.

football just a money making thing that preaches to those that are like sheep - there's more to life than football. Loved the photo on MEN link one guy knelt down looks like he has a joint in his hand...'

Rangers fans you cant take them anywhere ;). The minority as always giving real fans a bad name but it seems to be a regular thing that needs sorting out

They need to be careful or they will end up getting kicked out of Europe.

Wrong, I know many big clubs that can take 100,000 plus fans to to anywhere in Europe and there will be no trouble
