BBC News - Egypt: 'At least 73' killed in Egypt football violence

At least 73 people have been killed in fan clashes following a football match in the Egyptian city of Port Said, state television reports.

The deaths occurred after supporters invaded the pitch following a match between top-tier clubs Masry and al-Ahly on Wednesday.

It is feared the death toll could rise as scores have been injured.

Awful stuff. I suspect there's more to it than club rivalry but it puts things into perspective. RIP.

Maybe its cos they heard they were signing Craig Bellmummy & Danile Agger.

Tho my first thought's on seeing the headline, were that i didnt realise liverpool were playing in Egypt.

That is close to the number of people killed at Hillsborough and double the death toll in Heysel
