    Bloody hell!

    I like both AlAhly and Zamalek (two biggest clubs) shocking to read this.

    Saw it on the TV. They (supporters) I believe were shooting at rivals with rifles. Not sure what they were firing, but were definitely using rifles. Parts of the stadium were on fire.

    Simply shocking. Just goes to show that the spats rival firms have here are mere playground squabbles. Thankfully.

    Makes West Ham, Chelsea and Millwall standing on a tube platform after being relegated, sound like a love-in.

    Truely shocking stuff.

    Reading between the lines it is being reported the fans used this as an excuse to have a go at the police following the unrest in the country. Apparently the police sided with the army and government when all the protests were going on last year so this was an oppotunity to get back at them.

    Whatever the particular circumstances, this is sad.

    No matter what or where no one should ever go to a football match and not come home

    There's a link between West Ham, Millwall and Port Said. It's the Dockers wot done it.

    Not rifles at all.

    Flare tubes, they fire up to 5 red flares out the end.

    Dangerous still and disgusting behaviour.
