Referee halts Lazio v Napoli Serie A match after racist chants

The game at Lazio was stopped for three minutes after booing from some home fans when Koulibaly touched the ball.

Irrati continued after consulting with coaches and officials, with Napoli winning 2-0 to stay top of the league.

"I want to thank the Lazio players, but especially the referee Irrati for his courage," Koulibaly wrote.

The French-born 24-year-old Senegal international began his career at Metz and joined Napoli from Belgian side Genk in 2014.

Wednesday's Serie A match at the Stadio Olimpico was stopped in the second half because of the chanting that Koulibaly described as "ugly".

The defender gave his shirt to a child in the crowd after the game.

Writing on Instagram he said: "I thank my team-mates, the public and our fans, who have been a great support against these ugly chants.

"I want to thank everyone for the messages of solidarity which I have received."

Lazio manager Stefano Pioli insisted: "I would not have stopped the match. It was chanting from the minority, but I don't think they were racist, we also have players of colour and they are treated well."

But Napoli counterpart Maurizio Sarri backed the decision and wrote on Twitter: "Bravo to Irrati for stopping the match."

’Well fan arrested as supporters accuse police of ‘overkill’  

A Motherwell fan was arrested at last night’s match with Partick Thistle after assaulting a steward.

The 19-year-old will be subject to a report to the Procurator Fiscal, although the steward wasn’t injured.

’Well fans took to Twitter to complain about the heavy police presence at the game which saw several officers enter the Firhill stand after the suspect tried to hide among his fellow supporters.

Jason Henderson said: “Utterly surreal scenes at Firhill tonight.

“One wee guy acts like a tube, cue more than a dozen police officers orchestrating a pile-on.”

Derek Watson added: “Extremely aggressive stewarding resulted in police overkill.

“Around 15 cops trying to lift one young ’Well fan.”

Dave Taylor said: “Police and stewards were disgusting tonight at Firhill.

“Stood, stared and waited for the tiniest reason to wade in to the ‘Well fans.”

Jason Clark posted a picture of over a dozen officers standing in front of the ’Well fans before kick-off.

He said: “The amount of police watching a small section of Motherwell fans tonight. What a joke!!”

However, Police Scotland denied there was anything out of the ordinary about the number of officers at Firhill.

Chief Inspector David Pettigrew, local area commander, said: “The police presence at the match was standard for that category of the game.”

Lone Southend United fan filmed appearing to attack Colchester United supporters after running on to pitch in chaotic Essex derby

Police will investigate shocking footage from Saturday’s Essex derby which appears to show a Southend United fan sprinting across the pitch to attack a stand of Colchester United supporters.

Tempers boiled over towards the end of the all-ticket fiery League One clash at Roots Hall which saw the visitors’ Alex Gilbey sent off before Southend sealed a 3-0 win.

Fan-shot images show a man, who looks to have entered the field from the ground’s West Stand, throwing punches into the North Stand where the away fans are housed.

The supporter in question goes unnoticed by police and stewards until a brawl breaks out at the front of the visitors’ section. At least one other Southend supporter also approaches the away end.

But officers positioned at the Essex derby distanced themselves from blame and say they will examine the footage with football banning orders a possibility for any wrongdoers.

Ajax fans lynch effigy of Feyenoord goalkeeper Kenneth Vermeer during Eredivisie clash

Ajax fans have been caught on camera pretending to lynch a former player during Sunday's clash with Feyenoord.

Supporters in the upper tier had prepared an effigy of Kenneth Vermeer, which they then hanged off of a balcony.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper came through the ranks at Ajax before moving to rivals Feyenoord in 2014.

The video, which first appeared on Twitter, shows fans hanging the mannequin, which is wearing a shirt with the name "Vermeer" on the back.

KNVB president Michael van Praag described the actions as "completely unacceptable".

At least one man has since been arrested and banned from the stadium, according to reports in Holland.

It wasn't isn't the first time this season Dutch football has had problems with racism in the stands. Players complained of fans making monkey noises during the game between Feyenoord and ADO Den Haag just last week.

And this latest incident has led many to call for stricter controls and punishments for fans guilty of racism and hooliganism.

Borussia Dortmund fans toss tennis balls on pitch in protest of ticket prices

Borussia Dortmund fans protested high ticket prices by throwing tennis balls on the pitch during their side's 3-1 win at Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday.

Many of Dortmund's travelling supporters stayed away from the stand for the first 20 minutes in response to a €70 ticket price set by the hosts.

The "Kein Zwanni" fan group unfurled a banner that read Fussball muss bezahlbarsein, or "football must be affordable."

Following the boycott, some Dortmund fans threw tennis balls on to the field, forcing the referee to suspend the match while players helped remove the balls from the pitch.

The protests come in the same week that Liverpool fans walked out of their Premier League match in the 77th minute in response to increased ticket prices.

Despite the incident, Dortmund manager Thomas Tuchel praised his players as BVB benefitted from goals by Marco Reus, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

"In the situation of the opponent, in these circumstances, we have made a perfect game," said Tuchel, who was highly critical of the pitch condition.

Clashes broke out between police and protesters in Corte, Corsica, as around 500 people gathered to rally against the arrests of eight Bastia football fans. Demonstrators hurled stones at police, prompting officers to respond with tear gas.

The demonstrators – mostly students, along with some nationalist militants – gathered on Monday night to support fans of SC Bastia, who were arrested following a Reims-Bastia match the day before.

Eight people were arrested in connection with the violence, though witnesses have suggested that police acted with unusual brutality, Corsican official Gilles Simeoni told AP. The trial for the eight football fans is scheduled to take place on March 22.

The protest on Monday came just one day after around 100 people attacked a Bastia police station in apparent retaliation for the arrests. An officer suffered a head injury during those clashes.
