To quote the late Mike Dickin , " Not all football fans are morons , but most morons are football fans " .
Manchester City Council not only welcomed ticketless Rangers fans , but also set up beer tents for them !
What could anyone expect !
I know that only a fairly small minority of them 'went mad' , but what a frighteningly disgusting minority they were . I pity the Police and Ambulance crews  who had to deal with them , and any non-involved people who got caught up in it .
So why did'nt the council see that coming , and plan against it ?
Money of course : The huge influx of , mostly Scottish , also Russian supporters poured millions into the local economy .
Allowing for the costs of dealing with and clearing up after the events , Manchester still made a substantive profit from the occasion .
What's the point of anyone drinking non-stop from breakfast time ?
What idiocy , but then , that's what we've come  to expect from many football nuts .
Perhaps Scottish fans had a slightly better reputation than English ones .
Not now . And if that had been English fans on the rampage in Manchester  there'd be calls for the English team and their supporters  to be banned  from european championships .

There's speculation surrounding why Hillary Clinton is still fighting on given the apparent mathematical almost certainty of Barack Obama winning the Democratic nomination .
Is she being deludedly stubborn , or might she just possibly know something that we do'nt ?
I heard of a rumour that there's " a lot of dirt " re. Obama that's yet to be revealed , though of course that could be a malicious lie .
