Was this a worse feeling than the one you had when you realised Gensis and Rod Stewart fans would be sitting in your seat?

this did amuse me:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/manchester/7401814.stm

"We've been sat here since 12 o'clock waiting on the game coming on. The coverage started at seven o'clock and then five minutes later the game's off.

"It's an absolute shambles, shame on Manchester, shame on Manchester - it's let the country down."

Another supporter added: "The people of Manchester have been fantastic - but the officials behind this are a total disgrace.

"Some people are really angry. They've spent a lot of money - maybe £4,000 to £5,000 - to come down here for this."

morons. but that last bit just makes you wonder.

How much is the train fair? How many of them actually bought a ticket? It seems none of them stayed in any hotels. This must be the amount they spent on Carlsberg special brew and deep fried pizzas and mars bars.

Surely Crewe was pretty much beyond hope prior to last night anyway?

Why can't they just admit it was the Rangers fans that were at fault instead of trying to blame the Police or the other organising parties that tried their best to accommodate them.

In all seriousness, I don't know why you lot are so surprised and bleating on so.

We've seen over the years on many occasion both home and abroad that this type of thing is the rule, not the exception. If you want to blame anyone, blame City for bidding host the event in the first place.

Can't agree, I don't think there would have been similar headlines if Fiorentina would have played instead of rangers.

Manchester as city, and our club, is more than capable of hosting such a prestigious sporting event. Should City, and Manchester not bid for further international sporting events fearing that the wrong team might qualify.

If ANY other largish British team had got to the final, City included, do you think it's passed without incident?? No. What if nutters like The Ultra's had been in town if Lazio had got to the final?? True what you say about it being a pity not to bid for such events because of what might happen, but you've got to be very naive indeed to think that was never going to happen or indeed happen again in the future.

Most fans so not behave like Rangers did last night. I'd like to think if Manchester CIty played in Glasgow we wouldn't carry on like that. Sky have just shown some of the trouble captured by news cameras and cctv. I hope they can pick up some of the hoolies and lock them up in Strangeways.

Celtic and 'Boro have both made it to UEFA sup finals in recent years and managed not to turn the city centres of the host into a cross between a drunken gladiator pit and a midden.
Liverpool fans without tickets rushed the stadium at Istanbul (you'd think they'd know better) and now Rangers fans have disgraced themselves. The last time Rangers were in a Euro final, their captain had to hoist the trophy in front of his team mates in the dressing room toilets because their fans were rioting in the stadium.

There are twats who support City but I think the away derby proved we know how to behave when everyone is looking at us.
