Levski Sofia fans wish Adolf Hitler a happy birthday

Fans of Bulgaria's Levski Sofia football club carried a poster greeting Adolf Hitler on his birthday at a match with Litex Lovetch on Saturday.

The scandalous behavior of the fans of PFC Levski during and after the match with Litex in Lovetch is expected to result in serious fines for the club by the Bulgarian Football Union, according to reports of dnevnik.bg.

The "Happy birthday"poster carried by fans of PFC Levski was accompanied by swastika posters.

Litex fans, on the other hand, carried a poster saying "Happy birthday. Let us clean up Bulgaria in one day", coinciding with the clean-up initiative of private TV station bTV "Let's Clean Up Bulgaria in One Day 2013".

Litex is also expected to face a penalty for the act.

Juve risk ban for racist abuse

Juventus may be marching towards the title, but they risk a ban on their home stadium after racist abuse was aimed at Milan’s players in tonight's 1-0 win.

The Bianconeri have already received several fines and warnings, so could be forced to play a match behind closed doors.

Despite the Juve ultras group Drughi releasing a statement urging their members not to use racist insults, there were monkey noises aimed towards Kevin-Prince Boateng in the warm-up.

Boateng heard them and reacted, putting his finger to his lips to shut them up. A message was read over the tannoy system warning the hooligans to stop.

To make matters worse, the next home match against Palermo will probably see Juve clinch the Scudetto and that game could well be played behind closed doors.

England : Three Millwall fans arrested in dramatic dawn raids over hooliganism as police release 17 pictures of match-goers they want to trace - 23/04/2013

•Fights broke out in the stands during the Lions' semi-final loss to Wigan
•Scotland Yard arrests men, 21, 22 and 27, at homes in London
•Total number held rises to 23, and police are searching for 17 more suspects

Police have arrested three men in dawn raids today over violence at the FA Cup semi-final match between Millwall and Wigan at Wembley Stadium earlier this month.

One of the crown jewels of the English football calendar was marred when fights erupted among the Lions supporters, leaving some fans with bloodied noses and younger ones weeping as they watched fans and officers clash.

Scotland Yard said this morning the men, aged 21, 22 and 27, were arrested at addresses in London by officers from Operation Arrowtip, which targets football-related crime.

So far 23 people have been arrested in relation to violence at the semi-final, during which Millwall fans attacked police and fought among themselves inside and outside the ground.

Violence escalated after Wigan scored their winning goal on Saturday April 13, with television pictures showing police heavily outnumbered and defending themselves with batons.

Detective Chief Inspector Andy Barnes said: 'Large-scale violence and disorder at football matches is completely unacceptable. People attending matches expect to be able to do so in a safe and friendly environment.

'We have had an excellent response from the public, who have identified people in nine of the 10 images already released. Some have since handed themselves in to police, and to date, we have arrested 23 people. Three have been charged.

'The investigation team is working through many more calls and CCTV to identify all those involved in the disorder. We expect to make further arrests.

'Our message is clear. Violence at football is unacceptable. If you were involved in the violence come forward and speak with us. We will pursue all those responsible.'
