Once a club gains a reputation for trouble it is near on impossible to change that perception from other football fans home & abroad. I'll give you an example Liverpool vs Juventus Heysel 85, things happened English Clubs got banned, travelling round Europe taking in some games as soon as you mentioned being English (and from Liverpool) dark looks & a total change in attitudes. That is why any inkling of trouble needs stamping down hard irrespective of whose responsible or their popularity.

Questions asked:
What are your personal thoughts about what you saw at Barrow on Saturday?
Relating to what you saw at Barrow, what are your personal thoughts on what you see at all the home fixtures and away fixtures?
Answers given:
None, and can't help you there I'm afraid
It's quite clear you wasn't there are on Saturday and very rarely attend home or away.
How can you be in a position to comment?...... You can't.
Obviously you live in Germany so my questions were aimed to trip you up.
A minor incident occurred that was dealt with by the stewards and the Police......... End of discussion. A smoke bomb being released at barrow is hardly compareable to what happened at Heysel in 1985.
