70+ dead and over a thousand Injured after Football match in Egypt

also the death toll is too high to be just people scrapping in an impromptu riot. security forces involved or some sort of crush has to have occurred.

there were knives involved

yeah, i know? scottish cup final 1980 ended in a riot, folk were using broken bottles and bricks on one another, no cunt died.

I first saw the Ultras White Knights last April, in Tahrir Square, during a Friday demonstration against the SCAF. Five thousand kids holding a twenty-foot Egyptian flag came marching from a side street into the Square. At the head of the group was a kid of 15 with a drum leading a chant directed towards the police: “That’s right motherfuckers, we haven’t forgotten Tahrir, motherfuckers. And we’ll fuck you up again, motherfuckers.”

fair enough jim. Just thought it was bit more than scrapping

the notion that the police allowed this to happen seems plausible given the ahly ultras attitudes toward them in the past

74 dead now

yeah this death toll makes no sense for a sports brawl, that's like a line people up and shoot them number

Al Ahly had a perfect season in 2005. This one, not so much.

Exit-corridor crush sounds like that German rave crush a year or two ago, but with fighting gangs thrown in.
