So 18 months after we let him go, paying £250,000 in compensation, we are looking to buy Ince back for £6m.

It was Roma fans who attacked the Spurs fans.Boy,this sounds like a wrestling storyline.Can't imagine ever having the need to inflict bodily harm over someone because they don't support Celtic,people take their fanaticism too far.

It's more to do with politics rather than football. There is a large contingent of far right fans at some of these clubs and Spurs was targeted because of their Jewish fans.

Yup there is quite a large contingent of Jewish people living in and around Tottenham. Daniel Levy, the Chairman, is also Jewish.

Still doesn't justify attacking people because your clubs has Fascist roots and Tottenham have a large Jewish following.If its Roma fans,or if its Lazio fans,whichever of the 2 it is,that club should play its UEFA CL or EL games behind close doors.If those fans can't behave,they can't watch their team plain and simple.I don't think its fair to ban the club,as it wasn't the manager or the players or the chairman who attacked those Spurs fans,so punish the supporters who wan't to act so stupidly.

UEFA are to blame for this too.Spurs should have been in the CL as the 4th EPL representative,Chelsea should have qualified separately as Champions and this whole thing would have never happened.

I know that, you know that, most people know that but unfortunately you can't talk common sense to these nutters.

Problem is UEFA are too spineless to do a great deal, last time when Lazio fans were found guilty of chanting racist shit at the Spurs players all they got was a £35 grand fine. What's that to a club?
