Campbell 0 Posted July 23, 2005 The recent terrorist attacks in London have resulted in Inter cancelling their pre-season tour of the UK.The Nerazzurri were set to face Celtic, Crystal Palace, Norwich and Southampton between July 24 and 31.However, the Italian outfit have now decided to remain in the peninsula following this week’s worrying events in the English capital. http://www.inter.it/aas/news/reader?N=19415&L=en Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Aries 0 Posted July 23, 2005 That''s bad news although understandable in the circumstances. I wonder if City will be able to line up another club as opposition at such short notice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Monkey 52 Posted July 23, 2005 Oh dear, that''s a bit silly of them isn''t it?! Talk about letting the terrorists win! Remember when some American actors didn''t fly after 9/11 cos they thought they were targets - same thing really, isn''t it, and I''ll be disappointed if its correct...Mind you, I''ve been out of town and haven''t yet got my ticket...

Captain Jack Daniels 0 Posted July 23, 2005 Anyone just watch Simon Jordan on Sky Sports News? I don''t often agree with the way he runs his club and think he''s often too outspoken for his own good but on this occassion I have to say he''s spot on. Inter have used a very weak excuse to get out of playing four games. Like most of you have said, so much for carrying on as normal. Shame it seems to be people who seem to be so far up their own **** who stop their normal lives, if you can call it normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

August 64 0 Posted July 23, 2005 Just unbelievable, and totally without reason. Terrorism can strike anywhere, and one of its major aims is to disrupt normal life. Thanks Inter for scoring for the terrorists. This really gets me going Why is there nothing about it on any main Pink Un/EDP/ECN sites?

Paul Green 5 Posted July 23, 2005 Maybe we could arrange a game against Celtic seeing they will now have a free day?Now Celtic away really appeals to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Ginge 0 Posted July 23, 2005 I''m disappointed but lets look at it another way. If city were due to fly out to Egypt for a tour and the players indicated that they were concerned following the recent events there would you expect the club to listen or take them anyway irrespective of the players and their families feelings? Not great pre season preparation to upset your entire squad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Campbell 0 Posted July 23, 2005 The fear of terrorist attacks is just an excuse; Inter Milan never really wanted this tour anyway...this was a ''get out'' that nobody in high places would have the balls to question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
..xx..WoRtHy_In..xx.. 0 Posted July 23, 2005 It''s a shame about the match being cancelled but I can see there point. And it''s not letting them win because this is not a war. It''s a bunch of idiots who think they can go and kill innocent people. And yeah we should be being extra safe which is what they are doing. I don''t blame them.

Pyro Pete 2,353 Posted July 23, 2005 I am absolutely disgusted with Inter Milan. The Australians have been playing cricket matches in London on each of the days the city has been attacked. Do you see them running screaming for the airports? No. It''s not even a logical decision. Even if Inter had security concerns with visiting the capital at this time, that''s no excuse for not playing games at Leicester, Glasgow, Norwich and Portsmouth. I hope all the clubs take legal action against Inter Milan to obtain full financial compensation. The FA should stand up and condemn the football club.

Big Rob 0 Posted July 23, 2005 Not surprised at all. What do expect from a bunch of Italians. My dislike for them is almost on a par for my dislike of the French Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gentleman Jim 0 Posted July 24, 2005 Nice to see one of our Euro-Partners standing shoulder to shoulder with us eh ? Solidarity and all that !These bombings seem to be happening all over the place, Spain, Turkey, England and now Egypt. I certainly don''t wish it on them but who''s to say that it won''t happen there in Italy ? What would they do then, hibernate and play nobody ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian 1,211 Posted July 24, 2005 Come on, let''s be fair to the Internazionale players. If I''d spent that much on a hair cut, I certainly wouldn''t want it ruined by the numerous bomb blasts currently occuring in the UK. Ian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
