<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">UEFA have fined LOSC Lille and, to a lesser degree, Manchester United following the events at their Champions League match in France on 20 February. The fixture ended in controversy when the French side appeared to threaten a walk-off following Ryan Giggs' late winner for the Reds. Earlier in the game, there had been serious concern for the safety of United supporters at the crowded away end of the Stade Felix Bolleart in Lens. An article on UEFA's official website on Thursday evening stated: "LOSC Lille M?tropole have been fined ?61,734 (CHF 100,000) by UEFA for offences committed at the UEFA Champions League first knockout round first leg against Manchester United FC in Lens on 20 February. "The French club were fined for breaches of security provisions and lack of proper organisation, as well as for the improper conduct of the team after United's goal in the English side's 1-0 victory. "Manchester United have been fined ?9,256 (CHF 15,000) for the improper conduct of their fans at the game, which included the setting-off of fireworks and disturbances at the entrance to the stadium. "Appeals may be lodged against the verdicts within three days of receipt of the written grounds for the decisions." A spokesman for United responded: "We have no comment to make at this stage, as we have not yet received written explanation of the reasons for the fine." Note - The setting-off of fireworks, or flares, at a Champions League match leads to a mandatory fine by UEFA.</div> Source:NEWS & FEATURES: UEFA fine Lille and United - Manchester United Official Web Site
<div class="quote_poster">Flight643 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">Fans were about to be crushed so they flee and get fined for it!! Pathetic</div> Fans getting crushed, 96 die. United fans sing songs about it. Hypocrite. It just seems funny that United fans seem to be involved a lot of trouble when away in europe. Ok we had a reputation in the past before you start but now all you hear is praise for our fans. You keep singing your songs ,as you have seen, it may come back and bite you.

Methinks you don't like me. Believe it or not there is quite a few people out there besides yourself who have opinions. Where in the rules does it say I can't put what I think. You must realise that there is similarities in this thread concerning both teams so go crawl back into your own perfect little world where Man Ure eat gold carrots and shit candy floss!
Go and cook up a paella you idiot. This isn't a thread about liverpool, any thread you see you always bring liverpool into it, there is no need. just clear off to your kitchen and stay there.
Are their not similarities in the incident. Yes I think there are. You can't tell me what I can and can't write. If ive got an opinion I will say it you glory hunting gobsh*te. You really do need to think before you put your keyboard into gear. I'm an idiot am I? The problem is you know i'm right but you just won't admit it. Give us a kiss and then go to bed with John o Shea you uphill gardener!
Glory Hunting? No i've been a United supporter all my life. How old are you again? Your sense of maturity is astounding.
I like United but not cause im a "Glory Hunter" because I also like Liverpool... but I support Celtic. Used to be a United fan because me and my dad always argued about Rangers and Celtic and would fight about it.. but now I dont care.
Ok then flight, are you actually from manchester. I may be wrong but i think that you would of put that in your profile instead of UK. Therefore using a bit of logic by saying that maybe you're not from Manchester, you're 18 ,growing up United was the most successful team at that time, the way you stress "ive supported united all my life" ,why don't you support your local team, hence GLORY HUNTER.
I'm actually not from England numbnuts i'm from Northern Ireland. And why don't you shut up and go to another forum. Are you saying i'm not allowed to support Utd 'cause im not from Manchester. just go back to your kitchen, idiot. Or do you work as a chef in burger king? chef my left bum cheek.
So I was right then. You keep calling me an idiot but from a few small clues I have actually deduced that you are indeed a GLORY HUNTER. Watch out Poirot i'm after your job.
I'm a glory hunter? your an asshole. Just because I support United makes me a Glory Hunter? fuck off back to your kitchen you prick, how old are you anyway? Just clear off to another place and stop being a typical wanker!
Touchy touchy Ive obviously hit that very tender nerve of yours haven't I. You cannot disguise the facts that you are a GLORY HUNTER. When you was growing up whoever would have been the most successful at the time would have your support now. Where do you think all these Chelsea fans have come from? GLORY HUNTER!
Tell you what, you must get some kicks out of going on a forum and acting like a prick. Your probably about 35, no job, a complete waster. I've supported Utd all my life through the thick and thin, did I jump ship when we had trophyless seasons? NO! Your the glory hunter because you probably grew up when Liverpool were dominating. Dont ever call me a glory hunter, your an asshole. I dont think anyone likes you in this forum, so fuck off back to wherever you came from.
theres no way you could be called a glory supporter for supporting liverpool i guess, itd just be supporter. anyway this is man u, not your gay little jibes about people that dont make sence. i bet youve been a liverpool fan all your life and i bet we can trace that to when they were winning all the division one trophies so you cant say anything about that. you know alot of irish support man u dont you? obviously not otherwise you wouldnt come out with the crap you do. 18 years ago, man u didnt win till 93 after he was born so wheres the glory supporting there? man u fans shouldnt of been fined because they were trying not to get crushed quite simply, it is a stupid fine and they are doing it just to try and keep on the bloody frenchs side
And why may i ask is that a perfect post. If your 18 then you was 4 when they won the league in 93. 4 yrs old just about the age you start playing football. 4 yrs old just the age to be seduced by the team of that moment. Which was who?Thats right Man Ure. Now when I grew up yes Liverpool were successful But tthey are my local team. MY Father and his father before him and my 3 older brothers all support Liverpool ,theres a pattern emerging here eh? Now Look at what keane said a few yrs ago and more recently their own manager, they were calling all the corporate and glory hunters.Liverpool now have glory hunters because of their recent cup successes and thats up to them. But to say that your not 1 and clearly are and its there for the world to see is a bit silly isn't it. Now back to the thread. At which point did i say it aws fair to fine them? All i said was with the way that united fans sing about Hillsborough isn't it a bit hypocritical of tham to moan when something similar nearly happens to them. Inb no way would i wish that to happen to anyone again to go through what i and many thousand others went through that day but you have got to admit the similarities are there. History has a habit of repeating itself so be careful what you say about things because they sometimes come back and haunt you. I have every right as you can see to join in this thread and because it is actually something that concerns Liverpool fans now isn't it. So if you do want to start an argument about it GET YOUR FACTS before just typing any old rubbish. Go to the mirror look straight at it and say Bringiton was right again. I am a Glory hunter and he had every right to join in this thread because I am not in charge and it is a free world. GLORY HUNTER
