Trouble at GSP

Police and APOEL fans clashed prior to Saturday's crucial league football match between APOEL and AEK Larnaca prompting kickoff time to be delayed five minutes.
The home supporters battled with police just outside the GSP Stadium and a nearby field caught fire as flares were set off. In response, police fired back tear-gas prompting winds to carry the smoke onto the pitch. Substitutes from both teams retreated back to the changing rooms in a bid to escape the tear gas while fans also struggled to breathe.
The referee delayed kickoff time by five minutes. Crowd trouble in the south stand continued into the first half while play was at one point stopped to allow fans onto the pitch to escape more tear gas.
Tensions spilled onto the pitch as players on the bench from both sides clashed while AEK coach Ran Ben Shimon was sent to the stands by referee Yiannis Anastasiou.
The game ended in a surprise 1-0 victory to AEK after a late goal from Alex da Silva. The final whistle was met with jeers from the home supporters.

Levski go top in Bulgaria, police arrest 57 rioting fans

Levski Sofia went top of the Bulgarian league on Saturday after Portuguese striker Joao Silva struck in the last minute to snatch a 2-1 win over bitter city rivals CSKA in a match preceded by fan violence.

After the last-gasp victory, which prompted wild celebrations at the Vasil Levski National Stadium, the Blues moved to 55 points from 24 matches, one more than champions Ludogorets who face Botev Vratsa later on Saturday.

CSKA are third in the table with 48 points.

Police arrested 57 fans in connection with violence before the "eternal derby", as games between the two most popular Bulgarian clubs are called, while a young woman was injured and taken to hospital after Levski fans attacked a public transport bus.

The fixture has a long history of crowd violence. A 30-year-old man was killed by a bomb in 2000 and hooliganism and arrests have been rife since.

Wolves Fans Invade Pitch After Burnley Defeat

Hundreds of Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters have invaded the pitch following a 2-1 home defeat to Burnley.

Some fans were seen kicking advertising hoardings and scuffling with stewards. Many were then seen running back towards the stands as a group of police officers moved towards them.

Wolves players were the target of some fans' frustrations, and one photograph showed striker Kevin Doyle being confronted.

The defeat leaves Wolves needing to beat Brighton - while hoping Barnsley and Peterborough both lose their final matches - to stay in football's second-tier.

The club was relegated from the Premier League last season, and could become the first side to drop from the top-flight to English football's third-tier in successive seasons since Swindon Town in 1995.

According to one local newspaper report, dozens of fans were waiting outside the club's Molineux Stadium.

It is the latest outbreak of unrest at English football matches.

A total of 27 people have been arrested in connection with clashes at the FA Cup semi-final between Millwall and Wigan on April 13.

That includes three men who were arrested in early morning raids on Tuesday, and a fourth who handed himself in.

England : Gillingham fans banned from football for three years after pitch invasion - 25/04/2013

Two Gillingham fans have been hit with three-year bans after invading the pitch.

Ryan Kelly, 27, of Trafalgar Street and Leon Cooper, 27, of Linden Road were arrested after running onto the pitch during the Npower League 2 game at Priestfield on Saturday 23 March.

Kelly and Cooper ran onto the pitch during the second half from the Brian Moore Stand and slid on their knees in front of the Rainham End goal.

They were escorted off the pitch by club officials and arrested by Kent Police officers.

Kent Police Football Liason Officer, PC Geoff Greensmith, said: 'When interviewed, both Kelly and Cooper, who were clearly intoxicated when they ran onto the pitch, claimed they were unaware that it was a criminal offence to do so.

'They are clearly now fully aware that it is a criminal offence and hopefully this will send out a message to others that this type of behaviour will not be tolerated. You will be arrested and brought before the courts and face being banned not just from the club you follow, but all football from the top tier of the non-league game upwards.'

Both men admitted the charges at Medway Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 24 April, which means they are now banned from attending any football match for the next three years.

The banning order covers all games from Blue Square South level upwards.

He thanked everyone for making the season a success it had been and there was a chorus of “there’s only one Tony Stewart” from around the ground.

TROUBLES OUTSIDE THE STADIUM, ONE ARREST

One Cagliari supporter, from Treviso, received a stadium ban after he was arrested due to troubles which occured outside the Nereo Rocco before the game against Udinese.

Troubles broke out one hour before the game when a group of Trieste ultras arrived in the city to commemorate one of them who died in 1984 during troubles during a game Triestina-Udinese.
It seems everything started when Trieste supporters saw locals, maybe thinking they were Udinese arch-rivals.
Police quickly intervened and one Cagliari fan was arrested.
