Sports   (Talk about balls here.)

Looking at this logically, I suspect that many of those involved were like many of the Liverpool fans (as it was claimed) who attacked the City coach. That is, local ne're do wells who have little or nothing to do with the club but saw an opportunity to get bevvied up with their mates and cause mayhem.

This can be seen by the relatively low percentage of green and yellow scarves (as opposed to gold) worn by the mob.

Still disgraceful scenes though and viewers around the world will simply assume that all the perpetrators will be trafford fans. As a result their reputation will be tarnished.
