    The hooligan culture in Italy is ridiculous. Naples, Rome and Turin are crazy.

    I will imagine FIFA and UEFA will act accordingly and ban Brighton from european competition. How dare they provoke Italians like that!

    Hope they are a both ok.

    To be fair there were two of ours... they were fortunate not to come across three Brighton fans

    Apparently the police attacked the Rangers fans while they was waiting to leave the stadium & he was hit with a baton it's not been confirmed but that's what his pals are saying

    It seems that every country in the world that football fans are fair game.

    The Daily Record says it was nothing to do with opposition fans, he fell off a chair in his hotel

    Disgusting behaviour from Roma last night as well. They should be kicked out of Europe:

    The Italians have been s***bags for years, since Heysel in '85 we have been considered fair game for retribution.
    I have mates that have been out there for years watching Arsenal and Chelsea and it is a nightmare, they like a knife and plod are very heavy handed.

    I can guarantee you Roma fans dislike Juventus fans more than the English. Italian fans kick off with everyone, including each other. 

    Also yes, that was tongue in cheek. Roma like a humourous banner, my favourite was one at San Siro reading "the only good thing about Milan is the train to Rome."
