You're not being anal and it's a perfectly valid point. The problem then though was that it was organised before the match started and a LOT of C18 & Loyalists got tickets. It wasn't a fair representation of the English fans as a large part were on an organised rampage & not normal fans. Though English fans are still known to disrupt wherever they go in Europe. Italian fans & Turkish fans, I believe, nowadays are much, much worse. The FA has done a lot to curb the Hooligans & Racists of English football and to a large extent, they have succeeded.
