Don't take it personally Ajax bros, it's the excuse used weeks in weeks out by our incompetent authorities to justify the ban on traveling fans. Infuriating but it really says more about Marseille and french authorities than it says about you.
Whether it's ajax or any other team it's always like that anyway, our fans complain every time about away fans restrictions but apart from AEK fans we can't have anyone come close to us without the most stupid behaviour coming out, doesn't even matter who started what, the reality is there's always a small group of fans who's too dumb to just go watch a game and behave. I don't have much love for the police and their awful organisation but I can somewhat understand why they'd rather avoid having visitors if they can.
What Marseille fans did to Lyon's bus don't make a strong case for them, but it has mostly been French authorities taking the easy route.
Instead of deploying and organizing themselves to secure a safe environment for travelling fans, whoever they are, they just straight up ban them so it's easier for them, don't even need to bother.
And then when you have the UCL final, you have no clue how to manage fans.
Come to think about it, the French police aren't so different from my country (Indonesia). They're too lazy to think about solving the problems properly and they just ban things (and people).
