i found this on another calcio forum:
"I've been searching for a Juve website that will enable me to say what
I want to say within a forum. Unfortunately, not speaking italian, I
have difficulty in identifying such a site. Therefore I would like to say
what I want to say here, in the hope that it can be passed on to other
Juve fans:-
I'm a Liverpool fan. A proud Liverpool fan. A Liverpool fan supports
his club through the good times, and the bad.
I'd like to say how delighted I am that we've drawn Juve in the last 8
of the Champions League. From a footballing perspective, we could have
certainly had an easier draw and played a team we have a better chance
against, but I believe this is the best draw for Liverpool.
Liverpool fans have been waiting for this game for 20 years. The guilt
that Liverpool fans have felt during that time, for what happened at
Heysel all those years back, HAS NOT gone away.
I believe that this game is a wonderful opportunity for fans of the
great Juve to see how so very sorry we Liverpool fans are for that fateful
night. We do not ask for you forgiveness, as what happened is
unforgivable. We just want to say sorry.
If you ask any Livepool fan, who they support in European competition
when Liverpool aren't involved, Juve is the answer.
On a personal note, whilst I will be supporting Liverpool for the match
between our two great clubs, I will be wearing a Juve shirt that I
recently purchased for the matches (This is my 4th Juve shirt I've owned).
This match is about more than Football for Liverpool fans. It's a
chance to show you how sorry we are. We look forward to you visiting our
country. You'll be made very welcome."
THERE SHOULD BE NO VIOLENCE ON TUESDAY. OR ANY OTHER DAY.
