I agree that to tie riots to football is outdated, but to defend these animals is just unbelieable
I wasn't defending them starting a riot, i just said they have every right to be angry that the screen wasn't working. Being angry doesn't mean you have to riot. It's unclear whether the screen not working or them losing the game started the riot, the reports when the screen wasn't working were that there were just a few bottles thrown at the screen and not a riot. Obviously rioting is not the answer and i'm not defending that.

That was after the match had started i believe and there was a hell of a lot of fans to move there so many would have missed the majority of the match.
