All very well them having their revolution, but it's just anarchy over there now.

And we think we've got problems.

From what I've gathered from overseas news services, it appears that this was just a sad case of local politics, frustration with the military leadership (who are reportedly backers of the top side) and a build up of anger and passion about their team's season.

Like I said, Old Gregg, it is becoming clearer every day from the overseas media that the whole thing was staged by the Military and Police to give them an excuse to stamp down on anti-military government forces.

Our media is conveniently avoiding this development to maximise the bad publicity for football.
