You obviously have an anti foreigner agenda here(3rd world policing in other countries,whilst police were belting shit out of miners in this country). Your opinion is definitely clouded by this. Riots in Turin, Luxembourg etc. says to me its not easily manageable.You do know club fans were running riot in this country at the time as well, don't you? Borderline 3rd world policing to blame?

England had a really bad problem with trouble at football matches around that time.

Liverpool were always in European finals (I think only one English team qualified for Europe then) so it seems like they were the problem but they were just part of it.

I used to go to watch Liverpool a bit as a young ‘un, circa ‘84 / ‘85 - midweek European cup games only. The Kop was the most brutal place I’ve ever watched football from. Massive fights between groups of Liverpool fans every game. Used to start with ‘left side’ / ‘right side’ chants, then the chants became ‘Celtic’ / ‘Rangers’, then a gap would open and all hell would break lose for a couple of minutes, then it would stop before the police could get involved - the fighting was brutal.
When Liverpool scored your feet would leave the ground and you’d be shifted 10-15 metres with no control. Was scary stuff. As a young ‘un, it was intoxicating!
 
Liverpool fans blamed chelsea and other London teams fans when the reality was, they were Liverpool supporting cockneys, disgraceful what went on that night. Awful night fir English football, the whole of Europe hated us and rightly so
 
By 1990 most trouble had died out , 88/89 was known as the second summer of love and this period including 1990 the younger generation were more interested in dancin and raves , you had to be around at that time to witness its influence . Height of hooliganism IMO seemed to be 1984-86 then youth culture changed
 
soon as i saw the name Tony Meola it just took me back to having him on swap millions of times with the paninni stickers in the 94 world cup
