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 .

Yes! Where were the risk assessments on this one??
Footie + beer = trouble.
Surely even the most useless risk management department could have worked that one out!
Mind you, icy roads still catch out the gritter people every winter so we shouldn't be surprised really.
Apparently the Pope says that there is life on other planets and God put it there. Keep your door locked. I feel a potential abduction coming on........xx

Hmmmm , grandiose conspiracy theory now being formulated in my brain ; does the Holy Father ' , Colonel Ratflinger , know something that we do'nt . . . are the Vatican trying to 'soften us up ' for an imminent announcement . . . ,
Is David Icke involved , and is The Pope one of his ' shape-shifting lizards ' - ? !
