Manchester United Fined Over Lille Game
News emerged from UEFA headquarters late afternoon yesterday that both Manchester United and Lille were to be fined as a result of crowd trouble in their extremely eventful Champion’s League quarter final first leg.
The first twenty minutes of the game saw Manchester United fans pushed up against railings as too many fans had been let into the away end. Lille have been fined in excess of £40,000 for poor organization and security at the game and Manchester United were fined £6,200 for the poor behaviour of their supporters at the game. The crowd trouble has paled in significance when placed next to the Lille reaction to Ryan Giggs’ goal as they threatened to walk off the pitch. However, the ruling shows that the unpleasant incident earlier on in the game had not been forgotten.
