Dynamo Dresden facing ban after more German Cup violence leads to arrests, injuries - 01/11/2012

Dynamo Dresden faces being banned from the German Cup next season following a second case of fan violence in two years.

Rioting broke out during Dresden's second-round loss at Hannover on Wednesday, when 21 fans were arrested and several people were injured, including three police officers.

Dresden said Thursday on the club website it was "ashamed and disgusted" by the fans who "discredited nationwide thousands of peaceful supporters and even caused them quite serious difficulties at the entrance yesterday evening."

About 400 Dresden fans overran security to storm into the stadium before kickoff, while about 200 invaded the pitch after the match, setting off banned firecrackers, the dapd news agency reported.

"The stewards were really fearful at times," Hannover police spokesman Dirk Hallmann said.

Dresden said it would "meet our responsibilities" but criticized sections of the media as having "lost touch with care, balance and accountability in dealing with this complex issue."

The club was originally excluded from this year's competition after supporters clashed with police and rival fans in the second-round match at Borussia Dortmund last season, but the ban was overturned on appeal.

"We've understood the ruling to be a final warning shot," club president Andreas Ritter said at the time, when Dresden was fined €100,000 ($129,900), ordered to play a home game in an empty stadium and fans were banned from an away match.

Representatives of the German Football Federation (DFB), league associations and police unions met in Frankfurt on Thursday to discuss the problems of fan violence.

"It's very important to us to improve security at football games in Germany," DFB President Wolfgang Niersbach said.

Last month's Ruhr derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke was also marred by violence, leaving 11 people injured, including eight officers, and leading to 180 arrests.

"There is an urgent need to make the discussion more objective," German Football League president Reinhard Rauball said. "Therefore more intensive talks are needed with all those involved, including the fans and police of course."

Dinamo Zagreb supporters were barred from travelling to watch their team play Paris Saint Germain in Tuesday's Champions League group match by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls on Sunday.
Valls explained that he wanted "to avoid any serious security risks to people and property".
Some 80 PSG fans had been stopped on the Slovenian border with Croatia and refused entry last month on their way to the two sides match there.
Valls considered that there was a real chance of "serious incidents occurring should fans from both sides come across each other".
He added that he had been informed by Croatian authorities that 150 to 200 violent supporters from a gang called the "Blue Bad Boys" would be travelling without tickets for the match.
As a result of this information Valls had decided to forbid "from November 5 to midday November 7, the travel either individually or as a group, by road, rail or air of all Dinamo supporters to French border points and the Ile-de-France region (the Paris area)".

Police arrest Croatian football fans ahead of Paris match

French police arrested 103 Croatian soccer fans Tuesday morning ahead of a match between Paris Saint Germain and Dinamo Zagreb, police officials said, amid fears of possible hooliganism.

Some Croatian fans have also been barred from entering a certain zone of the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris on Tuesday evening, prefecture spokesman Franck Ernotte said.
Those arrested can be held for up to 24 hours because they've breached an order issued by French Interior Minister Manuel Valls on Sunday that banned Dinamo Zagreb fans from coming to Paris, a police statement said.

The Croatian fans are in the French capital as their club plays the Paris side in a Champions League match, due to kick off at 8:45 p.m. local time.

Clashes broke out Monday night between about 50 supporters of the two clubs near the Place de la Bastille in central Paris, police said.

The disorder resulted in 25 arrests, 19 of them Croatian fans and six of them PSG supporters, the police statement said. Three of the Croats had been flagged by Croatian authorities as being particularly violent, it added, while three of the Parisian fans have been barred from the stadium.

Two Croatian fans were injured in the fracas, police said.

The confrontation started with verbal insults but soon turned violent, with some fans carrying batons and tear gas canisters, CNN affiliate BFM-TV reported.

Dinamo Zagreb has yet to win a match in its group of four in the Champions League, with three games played. PSG is in second place in the group.

In a bid to ward off trouble, Croatia turned back dozens of PSG fans on their way to Zagreb in October for the opening fixture between the two sides.

This is not the first time Croatian football fans have been under the spotlight. The national football association was fined during the Euro 2012 tournament this summer for unruly behavior by hardcore supporters.

And last year, the head of European football's governing body, the Union of European Football Associations, met with the Croatian president to stress the importance of tackling football-related violence.

Croat hooligans held in Paris after defying French Ministry ban - 06/11/2012

Source : http://keirradnedge.com

European football found itself facing a new crisis over Balkan football hooliganism after Croat supporters ran amok inParis.

French police reported that 103 Dinamo Zagreb fans were arrested after not only defying a French government ban by travelling into the city and causing trouble before the Champions League tie with Paris Saint-Germain. Dinamo lost the tie 4-0 in the Parc des Princes in the south-west ofParis.

The latest incident followed a warning last year from UEFA president Michel Platini to the Croat federation over the behaviour of its fans and the recent racist provocation by Serb supporters of England players and officials at a UEFA Under-21 tie.

A statement from theParispolice prefecture said: “This afternoon the police services have arrested a further 103 supportors of Dinamo Zagreb. They are detained for 24 hours for not observing the formal ministerial order.”

On Sunday the Interior Minister had issued a formal ban on Dinamo fans enteringParisfor fear of “serious incidents likely if supporters of the two clubs came into confrontation.”

The Ministry also warned about “the probable arrival inParisof between 150 and 200 violent supporters, the so-called Blue Boys, without match tickets.”

The order followed trouble during the match inZagrebon October 24 when more than 100 PSG supporters – suspected of wanting to provoke the Dinamo hooligans – had been turned back at the borders by the Croat security services.

Fighting in Paris on Monday night saw six PSG fans arrested as well as 19 Croats who included three reported as particularly violent by the Balkan country’s own security services.

Early on Tuesday around 80 Croat fans were arrested in aParishotel. Later a further 20 were held after fighting with PSG fans erupted close to the Place de la Bastille.

In Zagreb on Tuesday the former president of the Croat federation, Vlatko Markovic, was ordered by the Supreme Court to issue a public apology for a statement that he would never permit homosexuals to play for the national team.

Markovic made his comments in 2010 in an interview with the magazine Vecernji List. He was fined E10,000 by UEFA for comments deemed to infringe the federation’s anti-discriminatory regulations.

A former Yugoslavia international, Markovic quit as federation president after Euro 2012 and was succeeded by former top-scoring striker Davor Suker.

Bosnian police arrest 100 football fans after clashes

Bosnian police arrested up to 100 people after rival football fans clashed in the ethnically divided city of Mostar leaving two people slightly injured, the authorities said Thursday.

The clashes occurred between the mainly Bosnian Croat fans of first division club Zrinski Mostar and their rival Celik Zenica with a majority Muslim fan-base.

Bosnia is still deeply divided along ethnic lines although its 1992-1995 war between its Croats, Muslims and Serbs ended almost 17 years ago.

The situation is particularly tense in Mostar, some 130 kilometres (81 miles) southwest of Sarajevo. The town saw fierce fighting between its Muslim and Croat communities during the 1992-1995 war and remains divided between the two ethnic groups.

"Incidents happened when a bus with Celik Zenica fans .... was stoned" late Wednesday, police spokesman Srecko Bosnjak told national radio.

One fan and a passer-by were injured as Celik Zenica fans left the bus and clashed with their attackers, he added.

Police arrested practically all the fans on the spot including 58 Celik Zenica and some 40 Zrinski Mostar supporters, Bosnjak said.

Millwall ban 13-year-old fan over racial abuse of Bolton player - 08/11/2012

Source : http://www.news.com.au

ENGLISH second tier club Millwall have banned a 13-year-old supporter for "the foreseeable future" over his racial abuse of a player.

The teen verbally abused Bolton's Marvin Sordell during Millwall's 2-1 Championship win at the New Den, their home ground in south London, on October 6 and led to a Football Association investigation.
Millwall said the teenager had admitted abusing Sordell and had written an apology to the player.
They added they had decided against imposing a life ban on the fan, given his age, and said that instead they'd offered him a place on a "Millwall for All" educational scheme "in the hope that we can change his outlook on equality, racism and life in general".
Millwall supporters became notorious for violent and racist behaviour during the 1970s and 1980s, Lions fans revelling in their unpopularity with rival clubs in a chant of "nobody likes us, we don't care".
But Millwall officials have tried to rid the club of its unsavoury image with a series of community schemes.
Initial reports of the Sordell incident suggested there had been mass racial abuse of Bolton players by Millwall fans.
Millwall chiefs hit back, saying in a statement: "We would also like to put on record how disappointed everybody at Millwall FC was in the way in which the initial allegations were reported in some sections of the media.
"These reports were made with no knowledge of the facts and created the impression that Bolton players were subjected to racial chanting or systematic abuse by more than one individual."

Three Croatian supporters of football club Dinamo Zagreb, who were arrested in the French capital after clashes with Paris Saint-Germain fans, were sentenced on Thursday by a French court to four months in prison.
The court also fined three PSG supporters between 800 and 1,000 euros ($1,000-1275) each over the brawl on the eve of the two sides' Champions League game in Paris.
The scuffles on Monday ended with 24 people being arrested, and with one Croat supporter seriously injured, according to police, who intervened near the Place de la Bastille and restored calm shortly before midnight.
On Thursday, the court said the Croatian fans "came to fight and only for that", noting that at the site of the brawl, one was carrying a crutch without any medial reason, another was carrying a truncheon and the third had a belt rolled around his hand.
It also banned them from travelling to Paris and the region for five years.
The prosecution had sought six-month jail terms.
During the trial, the three Croatians denied being part of a group of supporters and said they were in Paris for tourism.
On Sunday French Interior Minister Manuel Valls had imposed a travel ban on Dinamo fans coming to France for the match.

Tottenham : Met Police Back Spurs Fans Using "Yid" in Chants - 09/11/2012

Source : http://www.tottenblog.com

Spurs fans defend our use of the word, the club defend our use of the word, and now, the Metropolitan Police have reassured Spurs fans they will NOT face prosecution for using the word 'Yid' in match day chants. According to the Daily Mail, London's police force agreed with the club and their supporters that the 'Yid Army' songs are not anti-Semitic.

I wasn't at the game last night due to a nasty bout of man flu, but I smiled when I heard it on the TV and if I was there, and I could actually speak let alone sing, I would have joined in with the chants of "We sing what we want..." and "Yid army" despite the Society of Black Lawyers threatening to report Spurs fans to the police in their latest ill informed publicity stunt.

A bit of history on our use of word "Yid" from a previous article I wrote on the subject:
The word Yid is a slang term for a Jew and was adopted by anti-Semites as a derogatory term. However for Spurs fans, use of the Y-Word represents a triumph over prejudices of the past. Yids" or "Yiddos" began to be used in the 1980s, mainly by rival fans as a term of abuse because of the large Jewish population in the Haringey/Stamford Hill area. Tottenham supporters, Jewish and non-Jewish, united against this and adopted the nickname "Yids", and use it with a political consciousness of the club as a bastion against racism and anti-Semitism, helping defuse its power as an insult and to positively reclaim a racial slur from rival supporters and throw it back in their face.

There is a massive difference between how Spurs fans use the word and how Chelsea/West Ham/Arsenal etc use it. It was originally chanted at us as abuse in an anti-Semitic way and we subsequently adopted it as a way of making the abuse unsubstantiated. We sing it ironically with full knowledge that we have a multi-cultural fan base and to show that we are united against the racism that we are subjected to.

I accept that when used by opposition fans in a derogatory way, it is racist, and the gassing song, is obviously appalling, and we don't want those people associated with us, but don't blame the "Y-Word" for it. Obviously I'm against any racism and (once again) this article is my defence of us Spurs fans who appear to be painted as racists.
