Fan in hospital as Celtic and Sunderland supporters clash before friendly match outside Tommy Robinson book signing
A Celtic fan is in a serious condition in hospital after ugly clashes between fans before today's friendly game at Sunderland. It was one of a number of incidents of violence and disorder with hundreds of officers on duty as well as police horses and dogs.
Police, some armed, were forced to intervene as fighting broke out in the city centre between rival fans and bottles thrown. In the most serious incident, the Celtic fan suffered head injuries in the Hendon area where former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson was signing books in an off-licence wearing a shirt of Rangers, Celtic's fierce Glasgow rivals.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: ”At approximately 1.40pm today, police received reports of an incident at Fletcher’s Off Licence in Hendon. “Police and paramedics attended the scene after damage was caused to the off licence and allegations of assault were reported. “A man has been taken to hospital with a head injury. Police enquiries are ongoing to determine the circumstances around the incident.” The Celtic fan's injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
A North East Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We received a call from police at 1.57pm today to reports of a disturbance in Sunderland. “Fortunately, there was only one casualty. One male suffered head injuries and was in a serious condition. "He was taken to hospital and his injuries do not appear to be life threatening.”
Robinson later recorded a video message claiming Celtic fans attacked women and children at the shop. Robinson posted a video to his Facebook page, seemingly in the aftermath of an incident, with a man wearing a Celtic strip on the ground being treated by police officers. The EDL co-founder claims in the video Celtic fans "armed with flares, bricks and missiles ... attacked woman and children in a shop." He also claims the man on the ground had been "put to sleep" on a Union Jack pillow after the incident and that the man had used his belt as a weapon, the Daily Record reports.
Robinson earlier in the day recorded another video message to Hoops fans making the trip down south in which he branded fans' group the Green Brigade "muppets".
Northumbria Police Assistant Chief Constable Helen McMillan said: “Unfortunately we did have some incidents of disorder in and around Sunderland between Sunderland and Celtic fans and while police dealt with them quickly, it is a shame these types of incidents happen at all.” Before the match, Northumbria Police warned they would not tolerate disorder inside or outside the stadium.

Police arrest 19 fans in Sunderland v Celtic clashes - 30/07/2017
Source : http://www.scotsman.com/
Celtic fans are expected to appear in court in England on Monday after 19 arrests were made at a ‘friendly’ tie in Sunderland.
A spokesman for the North East Ambulance Service said:”We received a call from Police around 1.57 this afternoon.“We treated one male with a head injury. His condition appeared to be serious at first. Our ambulance was on the scene within six minutes of the Police call.”• READ MORE: £20,500 Uefa fine makes Celtic total £230l in 10 yearsThe victim was first taken to Sunderland Royal Hospital but after doctors concluded his injuries were not life-threatening, he was transferred to another hospital.
Police confirmed visiting fans were among those held. The Parkhead club were in the north east for a so-called ‘friendly’ match to celebrate 20 years since the opening of Sunderland FC’s Stadium of Light. However, even before kick-off, social media became awash with images of fans in green and white Hoops brawling with locals and police officers in the town centre. One local news agency reported Celtic fans being attacked near the stadium by a coachload of hooligans, singing ‘God Save The Queen’.In one piece of footage, a flare appears to have been thrown into a shop where former English Defence League leader Tommy Robinson was conducting a book signing, dressed in a Rangers top.In the incident which followed, in the Hendon area, a man was felled by someone brandishing a weapon before collapsing on the ground.

On Saturday night, Northumbria Police were forced to use their Facebook page to deny rumours that someone had died.The statement said:” There are currently rumours spreading that there is wide scale disorder in and around our city centres and that there has been a fatality, this is not true.”A local news agency reported that Celtic fans fell victim to an organised attack by local hooligans, who arrived by the coach load, singing “God Save The Queen”.Police in riot gear were forced to intervene as fighting broke out in North Bridge Street in the city.Police dogs and horses were used by officers who lined the streets in an attempt to separate fans before the game.
One onlooker said: “All the bars around the Stadium of Light were full of Celtic fans singing and having a nice time.“At about two o’clock a white coach pulled up and off got a lot of soccer thugs, they did not have any identifiable colours of football teams.“They were singing anti IRA chants and ‘God Save The Queen’.Celtic fans used the website ‘kerrydale street’ to condemn the sale of alcohol inside the stadium, which they feel helped fuel trouble.Assistant Chief Constable Helen McMillan, of Northumbria Police, said:“Unfortunately we did have some incidents of disorder in and around Sunderland between Sunderland and Celtic fans and while police dealt with them quickly, it is a shame these types of incidents happen at all.”Last Friday, Celtic were fined £20,500 by football governing body Uefa after paramilitary flags were flown at a European tie at Celtic Park.Celtic declined to comment.

The Metz vs Palace game was so boring French fans decided to steal an Eagles flag
According to fans at the stadium the Metz supporters literally walked straight in and grabbed the flag from fences at the front of the stand. And stewards apparently just stood and watched. Armed police then recovered the flag and led the perpetrator away in handcuffs. But it didn't end there as the Palace fans were kept in after the game, and some claimed they were tear gassed by police, although those claims seem to have been refuted by other supporters.

Foggia ultras have thrown firecrackers and detonators so the referee stopped the game for five minutes during 1st half. Some players, like Di Bari, Fares and the captain, Agnelli, tried to calm them down. But shortly before the end of the game, Curva Nord ultras have stopped the game.
