Just got back in, walked a fair distance through the city center and even though their was an atmosphere. Most of the people I met were in good spirits and singing songs the rest were walking to the station or back to hotels. I did see an incident with the police but it was bravado shite from drunken arses, I didnt even notice them and im sober, I walked right through it and wondered why everyone was looking in my direction turned back and their where a few riot police taking stick from drunks. Ive experienced worse every week in Greenock when I was growing up.
Bottom line, more than 20,000 Bears left without access to the game, a few drunken idiots but the vast majority were impeccably behaved in what was a MONUMENTAL BALLS US from the manchester organisers.
A big well done to the majority of Bears who behaved and I hope the minority that caused trouble will be arrested and dealt with to the full extent of British law.
