You must be reading a different thread from me. I don't see anybody making excuses for the pavement scraping minority who caused the trouble. I'd be quite happy for Rangers to be punished as my team would probably benefit from it
but that wouldn't actually deter the low life that were responsible. Uefa have already stated that what happened is not their problem. They were perfectly happy with the security and behaviour of the support at the Stadium.
Rangers do have a large worldwide support and do have official supporters clubs in every major town and city in England. I don't see anywhere in the thread a claim that it was "mainly" English but there is a strong indication that there was a signicant contingent of supporters or hangers on from England and Northern Ireland.
The Manchester authorites should have visited the city of Seville which only a few years ago played host to an unexpected influx of 80000 Celtic fans for the Uefa Cup final. Now that was a party. Organised by people who undertood the needs of a large crowd and attended by people who know how to party.
