Two Aberdeen fans have been banned from matches after they admitted being part of a mass rammy ahead of a Premiership clash.

Dale McKeith and Aaron Grant were part of a mob that had to be dispersed and escorted to Dundee’s railway station by mounted police as tempers flared before a Dundee United v Aberdeen match last December.

Fiscal depute Ashley Pollock told Dundee Sheriff Court the pair had arrived by train in a group of around 65 Dons fans.

They were then monitored on CCTV making their way into the city centre.

Bosnian fans booed for interrupting minute's silence for Paris victims during Euro 2016 qualifier

Republic of Ireland fans have erupted in a chorus of boos, after Bosnia-Herzegovina fans spoiled a minute’s silence held for victims of the Paris attacks at the Euro 2016 football playoff.

Video of the event reveals Bosnian fans shouting and jeering from the stand while players and the crowd alike stand quietly by, observing the silence.

The fans’ voices are soon enveloped in a tide of boos, as Ireland fans - angered by the Bosnian’s failure to respect the silence - retaliate, expressing their disapproval.

The Ireland fans however do not appear to be aware that they themselves have committed the same discourtesy.

Serious plans for explosions' cancel Netherlands-Germany football match - 17/11/2015

Source : http://www.cnn.com/

"Serious plans for explosions" forced the evacuation of a stadium in Hannover, Germany, on Tuesday night before a Netherlands-Germany soccer match, the police chief for Germany's Lower Saxony region told Germany's public broadcaster NDR.

Chief Volker Kluwe told NDR that authorities "had concrete intelligence that someone wanted to set off an explosive device inside the stadium." The two tips forced officials to cancel the Netherlands-Germany match about 90 minutes before kickoff.

"We do take this intelligence seriously. That is why we proceeded with this protocol. We did not take this decision lightly, but it was in accordance with the seriousness of the intelligence," Kluwe said of the match cancellation. However, no explosives were found at the stadium, regional Interior Minister Boris Pistorius said at a news conference Tuesday night.

Turkey - Greece - Friendly - 17/11/2015

Turkey fans BOO during pre-match minute's silence for the victims of Paris attacks and chant 'Allahu Akbar' before Greece friendly

Chants of 'Allahu Akbar' were reportedly heard in Istanbul as some Turkey fans shamefully booed a pre-match minute's silence for the victims of the Paris attacks.

The friendly itself against Greece was largely forgettable as the action finished 0-0 at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium.

But the game was tarnished before it even started as a video emerged suggesting some of the Turkish faithful were voicing their dissent towards tributes for the 129 victims who were killed in last Friday's atrocities in Paris.

Loud jeering is audible as players from both sides stood silently in the centre circle before kick-off, with reported shouts of 'Allahu Akbar' - the Islamic phrase meaning 'God is greater' - filtering through the stands.

After the match Turkey manager Fatih Terim was quoted as saying: 'Our fans should have behaved during the national anthems and during the one minute silence.

'Greece is our neighbour. Today is world neighbours day, but our fans didn't behave like neighbours in this match.'

Meanwhile, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Greek counterpart Alexis Tsipras watched the game together, in a sign of reconciliation between the two neighbours, whose relationship has suffered from hostilities in the past.

It was the first time the two teams had met for eight years and the Turkish Football Federation had announced a string of additional security measures before the match at the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium stadium in Istanbul, which was a 17,000 sell out.

England : Nottingham Forest hooligan spared jail after threatening to tear Derby County fan 'limb from limb' - 18/11/2015

Source : http://www.nottinghampost.com

A Nottingham Forest football hooligan was excused jail so he could care for two children after threatening to tear Derby County fans "limb from limb".

Jobless Mark McKendrick, 41, made the comment in a text message found among a million bits of data on 58 phones seized by police probing a punch-up involving more than 50 fans at Trowell.

He was among 14 men convicted of conspiracy to commit unlawful violence on September 28, 2013.

Earlier that day, Forest had beaten the Rams 1-0 at the City Ground in a match free of crowd trouble, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Wednesday, November 18.

Michael Stokes QC, Nottingham's senior judge, said another McKendrick message used the phrase "keeping it alive", a reference to the tradition of violence between some fans from the two clubs.

After the trouble at Trowell, McKendrick of Mandela Road, Nottingham, texted: "I'll rippen limb to limb hey was worth it pal. I'd do it again dirty Derby scum."

The judge commented: "He speaks like an extra in a film about football hooligans.

"He should have known better. He wanted to involve himself in violence and it appears he did, though not to the extent or nature anticipated."

The judge said McKendrick's children would suffer from a prison term but told him: "The text messages betray a deplorable attitude to violence. You display an attitude the courts are here to deter.

"The text messages can only be interpreted as demonstrating your continuing interest in engaging through so-called football supporters in serious violence."

McKendrick was given a 16-month prison sentence, suspended for a year. He must obey a curfew for six months and was banned from attending all football matches for five years, with £200 prosecution costs.

Stephen Kemp, defending, said: "These are words rather than action." He said McKendrick cared for children aged three and five.

Sarah Knight, prosecuting, said villagers faced men chanting and walking up streets with hoods up and scarves over their faces. Several witnesses felt intimidated.

"One motorist was forced to stop his car as there were groups of males zigzagging across the road, antagonising each other and throwing bottles. He described them as acting like animals.

"Another witness and his girlfriend were faced with broken glass which they had to drive around to avoid puncturing their tyres and a large group of men all walking with purpose.

"Moments later, a couple of them were grappling in the road," said Miss Knight. A neighbour was startled to be asked by a man for permission to hide in his garage because he feared "getting his head kicked in."

The only person to be jailed was Derby County fan Lewis Walton, 23, of Mayvale Grove, Derby. He was sent to prison for a year and banned from attending football matches for six years.

The court heard that he had already been subject to a football banning order and the judge told him: "You are simply incorrigible, it seems to me."

The others sentenced were:

Daniel Johnson, 21, of Bennett Street, Long Eaton; 10 months prison, suspended for a year, 180 hours community work, a four-year football ban and £200 prosecution costs

Jack Jowett, 19, of Beauvale Drive, Cotmanhay; 12 months prison, suspended for a year, 180 hours work, three-year ban and £200 prosecution costs

Alex May, 18, Calderdale Drive, Long Eaton; one-year youth rehabilitation order, 180 hours work, three-year ban and £200 prosecution costs

Joseph Turton, 24, Cloudside Road, Sandiacre; 12 months prison, suspended for a year, 180 hours work, three-year football ban and £250 prosecution costs

Liam Brookes, 25, of Standish Drive, Boston; nine months prison, suspended for a year, 150 hours work, three-year football ban and £200 prosecution costs

Aiden Yates, 19, of Worrall Avenue, Long Eaton; 12 months prison, suspended for a year, 180 hours work, three-year ban and £250 prosecution costs

A 17-year-old Ilkeston boy, who is too young to be named, was given a one-year youth rehabilitation order and a three-year ban from attending football matches

Leon Brown, 18, Margaret Avenue, Ilkeston; 10 months detention, suspended for a year, 180 hours work, three-year ban and £200 prosecution costs

Forest season ticket holder Ian Litman, 49, a youth worker of Western Boulevard, Nottingham; 18 months prison, suspended for a year, a three-month curfew, a four-year football ban and £500 prosecution costs

Rory McColgan, 18, of High Lane Central, West Hallam; 10 months detention, suspended for a year, 180 hours work, a three-year ban and £200 prosecution costs

Callum Harvey, 18, of Wyvern Avenue, Long Eaton; one year detention, suspended for a year, 200 hours work, a four year ban and £200 prosecution costs

Ryan Slater, 18, of Barclay Court, Ilkeston; one-year youth rehabilitation, 200 hours work, a four year ban and £200 prosecution costs.

Panathinaikos-Olympiakos match aborted after violence



The Greek league match between host Panathinaikos and archrival Olympiakos was postponed after home fans clashed with police before the game and threw flares at Olympiakos players as they walked out onto the pitch.

Referee Andreas Pappas waited half an hour beyond the scheduled kickoff on Saturday but eventually decided that the conditions were unsafe.

The club has hotly contested his decision, while condemning the violence. Club chairman Yiannis Alafouzos issued a statement late Saturday saying he will submit his resignation to an emergency meeting of the club's board Sunday.

"I intend to submit my resignation. I will propose to the board to consider whether Panathinaikos should continue to participate in the league," Alafouzos, one of Greece's major media moguls, said.

Earlier, the club had issued a statement blaming "the individual action of 2-3 fools" for throwing the flares, but also the referee whose "entirely mistaken and irresponsible decision" to abort the game led to the violence, according to the club.

Panathinaikos will likely forfeit the game and, depending on the referee's report, it could also be docked points, fined and made to play a number of home games behind closed doors.

Bayern Munich fans' 'extremely violent attack' leads to injuries and arrests

Numerous people were injured, some seriously, in what police have described as an "extremely violent attack" by some Bayern Munich fans who attempted to storm Schalke's stadium on Saturday.

Access to the stadium had been severely delayed because of body searches at the gates in the aftermath of last week's attack on the Stade de France in Paris.

Fans had been advised to arrive earlier for the game because of the increased measures.

Gelsenkirchen police say in a statement "only a swift and consequent intervention by police forces prevented worse. Several dozen from this violent group of people are being held."
