    Platini has come out and said what i was saying all along. Heres the official statement.
    BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Liverpool fans cannot be blamed for the trouble at the Champions League final in Athens two weeks ago and are not the worst behaved in Europe, UEFA president Michel Platini told Reuters on Tuesday.

    Asked whether Liverpool supporters caused the fracas at some of the entry gates before the match against AC Milan at the Olympic Stadium, Platini replied: "No we cannot say that, we cannot point the finger.

    "The issue is not that they are English or Spanish, one club or another, it is simply about fans who travel without tickets and it can be anyone."

    The president added: "This is an old story. We know about this, it is just that more English fans follow their clubs than those from other countries.

    "It is not as if one set of fans are good or one set bad. This is not the question in the end. We cannot go around saying that."

    Platini, contradicting statements attributed to UEFA officials last week, also said of Liverpool's supporters: "No they are not the worst behaved in Europe. It's official, they are not the worst behaved in Europe."

    Platini was speaking after a meeting with British sports minister Richard Caborn during which he handed over a report into security problems at last month's Champions League final in which AC Milan beat Liverpool 2-1.

    I never said that Liverpool were completely blameless but for Uefa to come out with that Liverpool fans are the worst in Europe is beyond belief and everyone jumped on the bandwagon. I've only heard two of the offences so far.One was pinching uefa banners in the stadium (even the Milan fans did that) and No2 was are you ready for this? Chanting.
    Gaillard neeeds to be sacked, he is a tit. I was there at the match and the organization was shocking and the Police heavy handed. Even Uefa have now come out and agreed with that. So put your biased little brain away and think for yourself because your'e making yourself look rather silly.

    Now that Uefa have said we aren't the worst in Europe do you think Uefa should come out and tell us who is? Liverpool have already had their wonderful name unneccessarily dragged through the mud and damage been done, so now they should tell us who the culprit is.
