Latest news about Man utd game last night:
Riot police have fired tear gas at Manchester United fans during a Champions League match in France.
Supporters were seemingly squeezed against a 10ft-high metal pitch perimeter fence.
The trouble erupted at the away end holding thousands of Man Utd fans at Stade Felix-Bollaeart.
They had been watching their players in the first leg of the knock-out tie against French team Lille.
Around 15 minutes into the game, security guards swarmed in front of the away end, with at least two supporters, including one child, lifted over the barrier to safety.
At one point, supporters shook the fence, while a large gate was partially pushed open before being slammed shut again.
It prompted riot police to move in, swiping at fans with their batons, and tear gas was fired into the stand.
TV reports suggested police had opened gates to the stand to allow away supporters with tickets for the stadium's home section to sit with their own fans.
The game itself was plunged into controversy, after the home side had a goal disallowed minutes before United scored.
Lille claimed the free-kick by Ryan Giggs was taken too early without their team being ready.
The goal caused uproar in the stadium and, for a moment, it seemed the home team were being ordered off the pitch by their coach.
The game eventually restarted but missiles raining down from the stands onto United's players.

Celtic - Milan was booooriing. Milan had the better of the play but didnt take their chances. Though i still think they'll progress comfortably.
Arsenal game i didn't see so wont comment on other than it's a poor result for Arsenal, they may struggle at home if PSV set out defensivly.
Real-Bayern, caught the highlights and looked a good game. Beckham playing well and by all accounts the result saved Cappellos job. Bayern still have a good chance after nicking that late goal.
Man Utd game was a farce. Completely agree with Fergie, the way Lille acted was a disgrace. Great quick thinking by Giggs (must have been watching Henry
). The crowd trouble was shocking and the French authorities must have action taken against them because please believe if that occured in Britain then UEFA would come down strongly.

I totally agree
:thumb:As for the Arsenal game I only saw the highlights - was boooring!!!
I know, only a few mention it - all others try and make out it was thre man utd fans fault - which wasn't the case.
Here's another report i found:
Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted that he found Tuesday's events in France difficult to digest.
Manchester United claimed a 1-0 win over Lille courtesy of a controversial Ryan Giggs free-kick, but the victory was overshadowed by a number of other incidents.
Lille's players took exception to the goal and appeared to attempt to walk off the field before being persuaded to play on, while the French club's fans rained down objects onto the field - one of which struck Gary Neville on the head.
There was also a frightening incident earlier in the game, as a number of United fans were forced to scale the perimeter fence amid fears there would be a crush in the stands.
United are set to issue a report to Uefa about the incident, as fans were sprayed with tear gas by riot police, and Ferguson claims he has never before witnessed such behaviour from Lille's players and fans.
"It was intentional," Ferguson told Sky Sports News about Lille's attempted walk-off. "We should have taken the throw-in right away and got on with the game.
"It created such a melee of bodies on the touchline and the game was stopped because of it."
Neville came off the field with a head wound and the incident left a nasty taste in Ferguson's mouth.
"I have never seen anything like it in my life," he added. "It was intimidation of the fans, it made it hostile.
"Gary Neville was struck on the head by an object.
"They started bombarding all areas of the pitch and I have never seen anything like it, so I don't know how to digest it.
"Obviously Uefa will do something, but it is in their hands."
United director of communications Phil Townsend confirmed the club will seek answers about the treatment of their fans.
He said: "We will obviously make our reports of our officials' observations. Uefa will have theirs, the safety officials from this ground and this club will have theirs and the police will have a say."

Man Utd were poor though.Cristiano Ronaldo was crap.People that label him the best player in the world or even in England need their heads checked.He has never performed in big games.He will go to town on useless teams like Wigan or Aston Villa.While he is talented,he has a long way to go before he is considered among the best imo.People need to stop hyping him up so much.Now Giggs is a player who will come up with the goods when they are needed.
I agree that Lille should be kicked out.Man Utd fans could have been killed in that crush.The police were firing tear gas into them.Lille were a disgrace.They wasted about 5 minutes walking off the pitch when they could have went looking for an equaliser.

Did you see C.Ronaldo vs Brazil? Best player on the pitch (and Quaresma) And the Brazil side were as strong as the side who demolished Argentina 3-0.
Surely there has been no-one better then him and Drogba in the Premiership this season?
[QUOTE-Flip Mo]
What the hell was Ronaldinho doing while Liverpool crossed their shot in for the Liverpool goal? Oh.. he was just walking around lost.[/QUOTE]
He's always been like that, as that is the way in Spain. They tell their wingers to stay upfield. Obviously its frustrating looking on and seeing him make no effort to defend.

Both of them stole the show.Well im happy the cunt didn't bother defending.Both goals came from crosses down the right and his tackle on Sissoko at the end was a disgrace.
Im absolutely delighted tonight.I thought Liverpool deserved to win.They completey outfought Barcelona throughout.Im happy with Steve Finnan as well.Ronaldinho did nothing and was marked out of it for most of the game.Arbeloa played well too and it was nice to see Bellamy and Riise combining for the second goal.Bellamy's celebration for the first goal was funny.Hopefully they can finish the job in Anfield.
Yes in a friendly game.I said that he hasn't done it in big game such as the one last night.He is young though,and when he does start producing it consistently on the big stage then i will label him as a great player.Im just being real about it.By labeling Ronaldo as great then you are placing up there with the likes of Giggs,Scholes or Keane.He has an awful long way to go before he is anywhere near as good as those players.
People get carried away with Ronaldo's performance's against poor teams.A great player should be judged on his performances in big matches.Ronaldo has been poor in big games in both the league and Champions League.I dont think he has scored in the Champions League yet has he?
