Getting to a football match safely — whether you are a fan, a player, a member of club staff, a steward, a husband, a wife, a mother, a father, a son, a daughter — should be taken for granted.
Football supporters with a shred of decency should know that.
Never mind all the nonsense about passionate hostility, the pelting of Manchester City’s team bus was an ugly stain on Liverpool FC.
They know it.
If it happened to the bus of an English club on its way to a stadium in Russia, we would be calling on UEFA to close the ground.

Overreaction? Not at all.
That City were three-down in barely half an hour will make the bottle-throwing morons believe they had some sort of influence on proceedings on the field.

We cannot hammer disgraceful behaviour in foreign territories but gloss over it on our own soil.
When UEFA pass judgement at the end of the season, nothing less than a stadium closure, suspended until a repeat incident, will suffice.
