Another Soccer Riot
Yawn. Okay, here’s the skinny. Rangers fans fought with the riot police because the big tv in town square didn’t work.
The TV wouldn’t work so they went L.A. on that ass.
Hell, I just got through watching the Jazz/Lakers game and the announcers were complaining about Jazz fans throwing trash at the Lakers. Well, at least they weren’t rioting. According to TheAge.com:
Fans spilled out into the streets of the city in northwest England and the mood became tense when disgruntled supporters were unable to watch the game.
Rangers fans began pelting police with bottles and cans and police equipped with shields and batons eventually charged the fans, pushing them back.
It was reported as well that one Zenit fan was stabbed outside the ground after the match with six Rangers fans being arrested over the incident - the Russian supporter’s life was said not to be in danger.
What was so special about this game:
The Glasgow club were bidding to become the first Scottish team to win a European trophy in 25 years, but Zenit took the trophy with two second-half goals.
I haven’t seen pandelirium like that since the Cabbage Patch Kid riots back in the early eighties. True story, my mom punched three little old ladies, ninja-kicked an eight-year old, and DDT’d some old grandpa to get one for my kid sister. She’s like a female Jackie Chan, Hulk Hogan, and Chuck Liddell all rolled into one.
