Juventus hit with another racism fine - 01/02/2012
Source : Agence France-Presse
Juventus has been fined once again for racist chanting by its fans, this time during Saturday's 2-1 victory against Udinese in Serie A. Colombian wingback Pablo Armero (pictured) and Cape Verde-born Switzerland midfielder Gelson Fernandes were the victims of racist chanting during both halves. Juve has been hit with a 10,000 euro ($13,172 ) fine, the same amount it was docked in October after racist chanting during its win at Inter Milan. The Old Lady of Turin's fans have a sorry record when it comes to racist chants as they regularly abused Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli - an Italian of Ghanaian origin - during his Inter days. During the 2008-09 season, Juve had to play a match behind closed doors after its fans racially abused Balotelli following a controversial incident during the team's clash with Inter. That seemed to anger and galvanise certain sections of Juve supporters who proceeded to regularly target Balotelli, even when not playing against his team.
The next season, the club was punished four times, including a partial stand-closure once, for fans' anti-Balotelli chants. That season it was hit with 25,000-euro and 20,000-euro fines as well as the closure of the stand holding its "Ultra" fans for one match, whereas this season the sanctions have been tame in comparison. It's not just Juve involved in racist chanting, though, as Cagliari and Brescia have also been fined for the same offense over the past couple of years. Last season's Cagliari-Inter clash was briefly suspended due to such chants - although the Sardinian club's then-coach Pierpaolo Bisoli suggested afterward that normal angry chants against an opponent's player, Samuel Eto'o, had been mistaken for having a racial nature. Balotelli was even abused by Italy fans when on international duty against Romania in a friendly in Austria in November 2010. He said he was hurt by the chants he suffered. "I had to learn to live with racism in Italy, to pretend it was nothing, but it burned," he said back then. "In England, that doesn't happen. But it shouldn't happen anywhere." Back in 2007, before Manchester United played Roma in a Champions League match, Frenchman Louis Saha claimed he was expecting to be racially abused. "We are traveling to Italy, and in those kind of places it seems like they are used to it. They don't fight it like we have done in England," said Saha, then of United but now at Everton. "They are starting to recognize it and think about it, but not very strongly - whereas England is a good example of where it has been tackled." The next year, former Celtic star Shunsuke Nakamura, who had played in Italy for Reggina, said racism in the country discouraged foreigners from moving to Serie A. "Sometimes you get racism ... not in Scotland but in Italy, which is not nice, and that probably explains why so few Japanese players have made it (in Italy)," he said when at Celtic.

Egypt: Al-Masry - Al-Ahly - 01/02/2012
Source : http://www.nytimes.com
More than 70 Killed in Egyptian Soccer Mayhem
At least 73 people were killed in a brawl between rival groups of soccer fans after a match in the city of Port Said on Wednesday in the bloodiest episode of lawlessness since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak one year ago.
Police around the stadium appeared unable or unwilling to control the violence, and video footage showed officers standing idle as groups of fans attacked each other with knives and other weapons.
In addition to the dead, health ministry officials said that more than 1,000 people were injured, some from a stampede in the stadium. Locker rooms were turned into makeshift field hospitals, and by around 10 p.m. armored state security vehicles had arrived to transport the visiting team and its fans — from Cairo’s Ahly club— safely out of Port Said.
The newly seated Egyptian parliament, which had adjourned until Monday, called a special session Thursday to discuss a response to the episode, and several other planned matches were immediately postponed.
The mayhem also focused renewed attention on the potential savagery of organized groups of die-hard fans, known here as ultras, who have emerged as a volatile component of Egyptian politics in the year of turmoil since Mr. Mubarak left power.
Previously apolitical, the ultras were known for their rowdy behavior, obscene chants and apparently endless enthusiasm for clashes with the often-brutal Egyptian police. “ACAB,” one group of Cairo ultras likes to spray-paint on city walls, standing for, “All Cops are Bastards.”
The ultras joined the revolt against Mr. Mubarak on the first day of protests, taunting and harassing police as they tried to crack down on thousands of other marchers heading for the Cairo’s Tahrir Square. Protest organizers said they played a more central role in the so-called “battle of the camels,” helping beat back mobs of Mubarak supporters, some of them riding camels, in a daylong battle of rocks and Molotov cocktails.
Since then, however, the ultras have injected an unpredictable element of chaos into the frequent demonstrations over the course of the political transition here. They drove an assault on the Israeli Embassy that triggered a crisis in relations between the two countries last fall. They joined a weeklong battle with security forces near Tahrir Square that left more than 40 dead in November, and another outburst of street fighting near the cabinet building in which more than 15 people died in December.

England: Football fan handed three-year banning order - 01/02/2012
Source : http://www.bridgwatermercury.co.uk
A FOOTBALL fan from Bridgwater has been handed a fresh three-year banning order after he attempted to travel abroad to watch his beloved Birmingham City play in a European match.
Stephen Troughton, 51, of Old Taunton Road, admitted six breaches of an existing banning order when he appeared at North Somerset Magistrates' Court on Monday.
The court heard how Troughton was among a group of fans stopped by British Transport Police officers at St Pancras International train station in October last year as Birmingham City prepared to take on Belgian side Club Brugge in the Europa League.
Troughton's details were checked as he attempted to board a Eurostar service and he was arrested for breaching his order.
Further enquiries revealed he had failed to notify the authorities of a change of address, had failed to surrender his passport on five occasions between August and October 2011, and had also failed to report to Weston police station.
In interview, Troughton told officers it was too expensive for him to travel to Weston from his home in Bridgwater and said he did not think the banning order applied to matches when Birmingham were playing in Europe.
Magistrates handed him a fresh three-year banning order, told him to carry out 60 hours community service and ordered him to pay £85 in prosecution costs.
Under the terms of the latest banning order, Troughton must not enter any premises in which football is being played in England, Scotland or Wales and is barred from parts of Birmingham on days when Birmingham City play at home.
Speaking after the case, British Transport Police officer Dan Hursit said: “Our officers work hard with our colleagues from other forces around to country to enforce the conditions for banning orders, including intelligence-sharing and joint operations at ports when matches are being played abroad.”

Six football fans arrested after 'violent clashes' at match - 03/02/2012
Source : http://news.stv.tv
Teenagers held following incident after Hamilton Academicals v Dundee match in December.
The arrests of the five male teenagers, aged 15 to 18, and one 16-year-old woman, followed an incident at Hamilton Academicals’ home game against Dundee on December 3.
Police said there were reports of a small group of fans from both teams involved in violence and disorder.
The five youths were arrested in Hamilton and Glasgow on Thursday morning. The woman was arrested in St Andrews.
The investigation was led by officers from the Football Co-ordination Unit for Scotland (FoCUS), Strathclyde Police, British Transport Police and Fife Constabulary.
Superintendent David Brand, of FoCUS said: "This operation again demonstrates the close working partnership between the new national unit and commitment by all Scottish forces to eradicate violence and disorder at football matches.
"It also sends a clear message to offenders that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated and through post match investigations, we will attempt to identify and arrest those responsible.
"We will continue working in close liaison with our colleagues across Scotland to crack down on those minority fans that are intent in engaging in this type of conduct. Make no mistake, if you engage in this type of behaviour you will be caught and brought to justice."

Death toll in Egypt clashes between police, protesters angry over soccer riot climbs to 8 - 04/02/2012
Source : http://www.washingtonpost.com
The number of people killed in clashes with Egyptian security forces in the wake of a deadly soccer riot rose to eight Saturday, a security official said, as demonstrators in Cairo kept up their calls for an end to military rule and retribution for those killed in the post-soccer game violence.
Several hundred protested in the capital’s Tahrir Square and near the Interior Ministry on Saturday morning, demanding police reforms. Others chanted for the execution of Egypt’s military ruler who has been accused of mismanaging the country’s transition to democracy.
The protesters are also angry with the police, accusing security forces of failing to prevent an attack and stampede after Wednesday’s soccer game in the Mediterranean city of Port Said that killed 74 people. It was Egypt’s deadliest soccer riot and the world’s worst soccer violence in 15 years.
It also highlighted the inability, and some say unwillingness, of Egypt’s security forces to prevent such attacks in the year since former President Hosni Mubarak’s ouster.
On Friday, security forces in the port city of Suez opened fire on a crowd of several thousand outside the police headquarters. A total of five people were killed, a police official said Saturday. Egypt’s state-new agency MENA reported the victims ranged in age between 18 and 21 years-old, and that the most recent victim died of a gunshot wound Saturday that he sustained the previous day.
Two protesters died Friday in Cairo, where security forces used tear gas and birdshot to disperse thousands rallying outside the Interior Ministry. Dozens of field hospitals were set up in streets near the Interior Ministry to assist hundreds of cases of suffocation from tear gas inhalation on Friday.
Also, a security officer died after an armored police vehicle ran him over in the mayhem outside the ministry Friday, the security official said. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with police regulations.
There have been accusations that plainclothes officers took part in the soccer riot, and some have alleged that riot police intentionally allowed the melee in Port Said to happen to retaliate against die-hard soccer fans of the visiting team Al-Ahly, known as Ultras, who played a key role in clashes with security forces during the uprising that toppled Mubarak last February.
Lawmakers have accused the interior minister of “negligence.”
The violence in Port Said began after home team Al-Masry pulled off a 3-1 upset win over Cairo’s Al-Ahly, Egypt’s most powerful club. Al-Masry fans stormed the field, rushing past lines of police to attack Al-Ahly fans.
Survivors described a nightmarish scene in the stadium. Police stood by doing nothing, they said, as Al-Masry fans attacked Al-Ahly supporters, stabbing them, undressing them and throwing them off bleachers. Others died from the stampede down a narrow corridor after the stadium’s gate, which was locked from the oustide, was forced open by the crowd.
Military rulers have immediately declared three days of mourning after the incident and the country’s leading religious figure, Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb of Al-Azhar mosque canceled Saturday’s celebrations marking the birth of the Prophet Muhammad.
Protesters, rights groups and several newly elected members of parliament have called on the country’s military leader, Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, who served as Mubarak’s defense minister for 20 years and took power after the president’s ouster, to immediately transfer power to a civilian administration. Some are also calling on presidential elections to be held in April rather than June.

West Ham owners make peace plea as Millwall come calling at Upton Park - 03/02/2012
Source : http://www.dailymail.co.uk
West Ham co-chairmen David Gold and David Sullivan have pleaded with fans not to cause trouble ahead of Saturday’s derby with Millwall. Disgraceful scenes marred the last meeting between the sides at Upton Park during a Carling Cup clash in August 2009 and Gold and Sullivan warned of punishments should there be any repeat. ‘We would just like to remind any supporter with the intention of doing anything but enjoying the game they will face serious consequences and will be dealt with in accordance with our matchday policies in conjunction with the Metropolitan Police,’ they wrote.
‘Previous incidents have seen nine season-ticket holders having their season tickets cancelled without refund and also received life bans from the club. ‘Fifty known supporters received life bans and most of those either received a three- or four-year football banning order. ‘This is your club; please show it the respect it deserves on the day, show your world-famous support and make it a day to be remembered for all the right reasons.’

Germany: Hannover pass fines to fans - 02/02/2012
Source : http://www.teamtalk.com
Hannover again hope to force the fans who caused disturbances at Europa League matches last season to pay for the damages they caused.
UEFA have fined the Bundesliga club 15,000 euros for the misbehaviour of their fans at games against Copenhagen and Standard Liege.
The sanction relates to fireworks and flares set off within the Hannover fans' section and a pitch invasion by one fan.
Several culprits have already been identified and they will now be sent the UEFA bill to pay.
"We are sticking ruthlessly by our stance and we will hold the culprits responsible and pass on this fine to the people responsible," said Hannover's president Martin Kind.
Hannover successfully identified the fan who lit a flare during Hannover's Bundesliga match at Augsburg earlier this season and he was made to pay the fine of 4,000 euros sanctioned by the German Football Association (DFB) for that incident.
Legal proceedings have already commenced against the fan who invaded the pitch in Copenhagen and those who were seen lighting flares there.
The identities of the people who lit flares in Liege have not yet been ascertained, but Hannover are continuing to investigate in order to make them pay their share of the latest fine.
"We want to know who has considerably damaged the reputation of Hannover here," added Kind.
"Our attempts to identify the culprits are continuing with the aid of the Belgian authorities."

Massive police operation for London derby
Mounted police officers and a not-so-thin blue line of colleagues kept things quiet.
All local pubs were asked to shut to prevent any problems. The normally busy Boleyn was boarded up before the game kicked off at 12.30pm.
Fans of bothfootball clubs are being warned by police to behave when the London teams meet this weekend for a match marred by violence in the past.
Scotland Yard said it had liaised closely with both clubs to ensure the match will be safe and trouble-free.
While there is no information around disorder being organised, the Met, British Transport Police and other agencies put ina pan-London operation in place for match day.
Police officers will be at Upton Park and throughout London for the duration of the game.
They will also employ a range of tactics to identify and target potential troublemakers.
Borough Acting Commander Chief Supt Sean Vickers, match commander for the event, said: “The Met has a great deal of experience in policing high-profile football matches in London and whilst we want everyone to enjoy this game we will not tolerate any troublemakers. We have been working closely with Millwall and West Ham for several months and together we know we can deliver an event that legitimate football fans will enjoy.
“We appreciate a healthy rivalry between clubs but anything which deviates from this will be dealt with quickly and robustly. There will be no excuses; if you are intent on trouble you will be targeted by our officers and dealt with.”
A Scotland Yard spokesman said the operation had gone well upto kick off.
There were just two major arrests at the game. Scotland Yard said one man was arrested for affray before the game and taken into custody and after the game an other was arrested for assault on a police officer. He is understood to have thrown a missile.

England: Littlehampton football hooligans jailed - 05/02/2012
Source : http://www.littlehamptongazette.co.uk
A PAIR of football hooligans from Littlehampton have been jailed for their involvement in a pre-arranged fight, in Brighton, police have said.
Stuart McCullough, 22, of Seaton Road, Wick, and Matthew Clayton, 25, of Highdown Drive, Littlehampton, were among 12 so-called ‘football fans’ who were sentenced yesterday, during a trial at Hove Crown Court.
Police have said that the fight spilled out into a street in Brighton, on July 13, 2010, following a pre-season friendly football match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Aberdeen.
The brawl took place between a group of football fans from Brighton and a band of supporters from Tottenham Hotspur, with innocent onlookers recording the fight on their phones.
Clayton, a plumber in the Littlehampton area, received a 15-month sentence for his role in the chaos, after admitting to violent disorder.
Soon-to-be father of two McCollough, was also given a 15-month sentence after pleading guilty to violent disorder. McCullough was ordered to serve another nine months consecutively for wounding a man with a chair during argument at The Crown pub, in High Street, Littlehampton.
Ten other men, from Lancing, Henfield, Portslade, Brighton, Hove, Essex and London were sent to prison for a total of more than 16 years, between them.
All received a six-year football banning order, which bars them from any football matches in the UK.
The hooligans are also banned from going in any pubs within a mile of the American Express Community Stadium, Lewes railway station or Brighton station for four hours before and six hours after kick-off when home games are played in the city.
Chief Superintendent Graham Bartlett said: “We are pleased that the sentences they received reflect the seriousness of this incident.
“Football is about the enjoyment of a sport not about violent disorder. I am very grateful for the support the communities, Brighton and Hove Albion and the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) have provided to bring these people to justice.
“I hope the sentences will deter others who think it’s acceptable to act in a similar way. Most people enjoy football and their good behaviour should not be marred by a mindless minority who harm and scare others.”
A CPS spokeswoman said: “We would like to pay tribute to the quick thinking and swift action of the members of the local community who through various means recorded the incident without which we wouldn’t have been able to successfully prosecute. This is a case of the CPS and police working with the help of the local community to identify and prosecute football risk supporters.”

The match was interrupted for three minutes after Panathinaikos fans threw flares onto the track surrounding the pitch. Police also reported clashes in central Greece before the match, between traveling Panathinaikos fans and residents at a Gypsy camp near the city of Thebes.
Police in central Greece detained 150 football fans over the weekend following serious clashes after a Super league match between league leader Panathinaikos and Levadiakos.
The violence broke out after Panathinaikos lost the match 1-0.
Several hundred Panathinaikos fans were involved in clashes with police after going on the rampage through the small town of Levadia. The rioters smashed cars, damaged property and left two policemen in hospital with injuries.
Eight of the rioters were formally arrested and charged with public disturbance offenses, while a ninth man, a Panathinaikos season ticket holder, accused of taking part in the clashes were later arrested in Athens after police raided his home, and seized brass-knuckles and tear gas-protection mask.
Police are battling a spike in football-related violence in recent months, mostly focused on attacks against supporters' clubs and organised street fights between groups of rival fans.
In late January, a bomb exploded outside a football supporters club in Patras, damaging at least ten parked cars and shattering nearby apartment and storefront windows. (Athens News, gw)

The first incidents burst at the station of Bochum where the away fans emerged suddenly. Immediately they attacked the police with flags' batons. The police responded by using pepper sprays according to the spokesperson of the police, Guido Meng. Rostock supporters were then escorted on foot until the stadium. On the spot, they tried to take by storm the platform of the buildings. An important quota of police officers faced the horde. 42 people were wounded including nine police officers. A total of 19 supporters were arrested. After the match, the fans of Rostock tried to bore the police lines. As a result the special train having to bring back them to Rotstock left Bochum with delay.
On their way back from their game played in Berlin, 50 to 100 Hannover supporters stopped in Wolfsburg and caused troubles in the city, attacking a pub full with 40 local supporters. Firecrackers and flares were exchanged and police intervened and Hannover supporters were escorted back to their train. It must be also noticed that a 14 years old Wolfsburg supporter was attacked by a mob of 20 Hannover supporters. He was hospitalized. Police think that everything was planned between both sides.
Prior in the journey, fights also erupted in the Hannover train station, opposing local fans to Monchengladbach supporters. Seventy supporters fought.
