the actions of the fans were bad though. we'll have to wait and see what action is taken against inter.
i kinda hope that they don't ban fireworks from italian games though because it has become such a great part of the whole spectacle...

Fair enough, English fans aren't exactly Ned Flanders wannabes, but our worst followers are no worse than the Italian thugs that caused the Milan derby to be called off.
Its laughable to claim that English fans are dealt with in the same way as any other European nation's fans. One example of UEFA 'fairness'. Leeds v Galatasaray, April 2000. You'll remember two were leeds fans stabbed to death. Galatasaray's penalty? In a word... Nout.
You can't possibly believe Leeds United would have got off scot free if they had carried out stabbings on Galatasaray fans.
