There is anger in Egypt's Port Said that supporters of their local football club al-Masry side are being blamed for unrest at the team's stadium which left 72 people dead. <br />Fans of al-Masry claim Wednesday's deaths were due not to hooliganism but police failings. <br />There have been claims that security forces targeted visiting al-Ahly fans from Cairo who have been central figures in popular protests, first against deposed president Hosni Mubarak, and now the military.<br />The official response has been to fire several senior officials and set up an investigation, but in the meantime claims and counter-claims fill the air.<br />Al Jazeera's Andy Richardson reports from Port Said.
