I don't think there would have been as much trouble if the big TV hadn't broken down. I mean a load of people having been drinking all day waiting for the big game then the TV breaks down. Same thing would have happened in a pub but this was obviously on a bigger scale.

why couldnt they have put the screens up in Glasgow, why did they have to come to Manchester? its not like it makes a shred of difference actually being in the city that the game is happening in.

They would have had the same 'atmosphere' which i guess is the argument for having the screens up here, but instead they would have just trashed their own city.

its the same mentality as 'brits abroad', its not ours so lets mess it all up.

and Arctic, i agree.

There were screens at ibrox and that was packed. I guess the reasoning behind the screens was so that the "fans" could be kept in one place. If there were no screens, these fans would be in every pub in manchester and this would have been a nightmare for the police.
