Reds fans labelled Europe's worst  

A damning report by European football's governing body says Liverpool fans
are the worst-behaved in Europe.

Uefa says Reds fans have been involved in more incidents in Europe during the
past four years than any other club.

Ticketless fans caused trouble at May's Champions League final, although the
club criticised security at the game.

Uefa spokesman William Gaillard said: "That was just the latest example. What
other fans steal tickets from fellow fans or from the hands of children?"

Uefa's report will be handed to sports minister Richard Caborn on Tuesday.

You must ask yourself why at the Champions League, with the same conditions,
there was no trouble with the Milan fans - only the Liverpool fans

In it, Uefa paints a damning picture of the Anfield club's supporters'
behaviour at the Champions League final in Athens.

Gaillard added: "We know what happened in Athens, and Liverpool fans were the
cause of most of the trouble there.

"There have been 25 incidents involving Liverpool fans away from home since
2003 and these are in the report - most teams' supporters do not cause any
trouble at all."

Liverpool have sent their own report to Uefa complaining about lax security
measures at the final.

Many supporters with forged tickets or no tickets at all managed to gain
access to the stadium.

Gaillard added: "You must ask yourself why at the same match, with the same
conditions, there was no trouble with the Milan fans - only the Liverpool
fans."
