According to another version by some of the media, Shvercerat stoned one of the buses with Komiti, after which Komiti went out of the bus to chase Shvercerat, starting a riot, demolishing around.

Celtic fan from Co Armagh banned for four years after assaulting PSG player - 12/10/2017

Source: http://www.irishnews.com/

A CELTIC fan from Co Armagh has been banned from attending football games for four years and sentenced to 160 hours of unpaid community work after invading the pitch in a Paris Saint-Germain game.
John Hatton (21), from Churchill Park in Portadown, jumped over a metal railing and attempted to kick £160 million rated French star Kylian Mbappe shortly after PSG had gone 3-0 up during the UEFA Champions League clash at Celtic Park on September 12.
Defence lawyer Dan Cameron said that Hatton, who had no previous convictions, had been drinking for more than eight hours before the game.
"He's aware of the impact his actions have had, he has been banned by the club for life."
Glasgow Sheriff Diane McConnell said: "It is fortunate the player you targeted wasn't struck or injured but he must have been greatly alarmed.
"Clearly there was considerable potential for serious large scale disorder as a consequence of your actions."
Hatton did not comment as he left court.
Anthony Lavelle (61) was fined £400 at an earlier hearing after he admitted angrily punching Hatton on the head as he was being led away by police.
Celtic have been charged by Uefa with "field invasion" and the case will be heard on October 19.

'Disgusting scenes' at London Bridge as police clash with Millwall and Birmingham City fans ahead of game



There were "disgusting" scenes as Millwall and Birmingham City fans clashed in the street like a "riot" before today's match.
Footage and photos posted online appear to show police officers being shoved as they surrounded Birmingham fans during a "stand-off" between rival supporters outside London Bridge station.

Witnesses described scenes of "madness", saying alcohol containers were thrown, smoke was in the air and a number of people were detained while fans taunted each other under a heavy police presence.
One Twitter user wrote: "Madness at London Bridge today. OMG. #PoliceDogs #CityPolice had to get involved. It looked like a riot to me."
Another wrote: "17:30 kick-off for Millwall v Birmingham is insane. Riot vans everywhere around London Bridge at the mo. Doesn't give football a good name."

Witnesses said the area was "shut down" by police, who formed human barriers to separate train passengers from football supporters, and escorted Birmingham City fans to the Den football stadium in Bermondsey, south London.

Sofia police detain 42 before city derby

Police detained 42 suspected soccer hooligans before Levski Sofia’s 2-2 draw against bitter city rivals CSKA in the Bulgarian league at the Vasil Levski national stadium on Saturday.

In a statement, the Bulgarian capital’s police force also said that three children had been hospitalised after fans set off flares and threw smoke bombs early in the second half. Referee Georgi Kabakov interrupted the game for a few minutes.
Skirmishes broke out before the match with rival fans throwing a number of fireworks, missiles and other objects at each other and police. Only a few people, however, suffered slight injuries.

Police said supporters were detained for possession of flares, bombs and other devices, also known as a “pyro”. The fashion for lighting red-hot flares has long been part of the fan culture in several southern European countries, including Bulgaria.
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.

Extra police officers were on hand to monitor the fans in the city centre and around the stadium before, during and after the game between the Balkan country’s most popular clubs.

Marseille fans clash with French police ahead of fierce PSG derby with Paris supporters banned from Stade Velodrome

MARSEILLE supporters clashed with police ahead of their Ligue 1 match with Paris Saint-Germain with four offices reportedly injured and nine arrested, according to local reports.

The Stade Velodrome clash is so explosive that PSG fans were banned from attending and without an obvious enemy, the Marseille thugs turned their attention to the police.

The hooligans were blasted with tear gas and water cannons in a bid by the police to subdue them.
Missiles and projectiles were hurled at officers and flares were lit as fans clashed with officers in the centre of the city.

It is the third season in a row that PSG fabs have been banned from attending the French derby dubbed the Classique.
But the preventative steps taken failed to deter the trouble makers who clashed with police.

Eight fans arrested by Suffolk police after Ipswich-Norwich derby

Eight fans were arrested by police after trouble broke out among a small group of football supporters at the end of the East Anglian derby at Portman Road in Ipswich.

Police said “a small amount of low level disorder” happened as fans left the ground at the end of the match, and they dealt with further disorder that broke out among a group of supporters outside the railway station.
A police spokeswoman said that because a number of objects were thrown between groups of fans, specialist officers wearing protective equipment were deployed to the incident outside the station. They were joined by other officers with police horses and police dogs who were also at the scene.
Eight people were arrested by Suffolk Police in total, during the course of match and at the station afterwards. Six of these were taken into custody, where they were being questioned for disorder related offences.
British Transport Police tweeted that Ipswich station had to be evacuated at one point because a flare was released in the station as fans were passing through.
A Greater Anglia spokesman said two people, believed to be Norwich City fans, had set off a smokebomb in the entrance to the station concourse as people started to arrive at the station for the match at about 10am.
The smokebomb was kicked into the open forecourt of the station for the smoke to safely disperse and the concourse was evacuated for about five minutes while the smoke there cleared. There was little disruption to trains or the operation of the station, he added.

Fans arrested after fighting between Sheffield Wednesday supporters at Derby County match




Two fans have been arrested after violence flared between Sheffield Wednesday supporters during Saturday's defeat at Derby County.

Scuffles broke out among a small section of Owls fans during the match, with photos showing one man appearing to throw a punch as another was restrained by stewards.

Fans were quick to condemn the fighting, which appeared to involve only a small minority of the travelling contingent and reports on social media suggested was fuelled by contrasting views over manager Carlos Carvalhal's tenure at the club.

Derbyshire Constabulary said two people had been arrested after the match under the public order and football offences acts.

PC Roger Brown, the force's dedicated football officer, said: "We have a proven track record of investigating football related disorder and will continue to work closely with South Yorkshire Police to identify any other individuals involved.

"Our aim is to enhance the match day experience for all fans and such offences will not be tolerated. Football banning orders will be sought, via the courts, as appropriate."

A Sheffield Wednesday spokesman said: "We are in full dialogue with Derbyshire Constabulary and are awaiting any developments regarding potential prosecutions.

"Sheffield Wednesday have a zero tolerance policy of crowd disorder involving our supporters and anyone convicted as a result of Saturday’s disturbances will face the appropriate sanctions."

Reports over the weekend suggested a steward had been injured by a chair thrown from among Wednesday fans. But Owls supporter Sean Bruce, who says the chair hit him first, believes it was lobbed from among the home crowd. "It hit me on the left shoulder and bounced into the steward standing beside me, so it's hard to see how it could have come from among Wednesday fans," said the 64-year-old, from Walkley. Mr Bruce, who has been attending games since he was six, said he was shaken after being hit but sustained only light bruising to his shoulder.
He spoke of his disgust at the small group of Wednesday fans he said had gone looking for trouble, but also criticised home fans he said spent much of the match goading rival supporters. "There was a Wednesday fan in front of me who was shouting at the Derby fans while his son, who could only be eight or nine years old, tried to pull him back. "The behaviour from the majority of Wednesday fans was great. It's just the ones who tend to congregate near the opposition fans that cause trouble. "This is the first away game I've taken my wife to for about five years. She was really keen to go but her experience has put her off a bit." A Derby County spokesman said four people had been ejected from the visitors section on Saturday but the club had received no reports of either a fan or a steward being hit by a chair.

Lazio fans wear ‘FCK ISIS’ shirts and appear to make Nazi salutes in Europa League game in Nice

LAZIO ultras have been snapped appearing to make Nazi salutes while wearing ‘FCK ISIS’ t-shirts.
A section of the Rome club's infamous Irriducibili decided to make a statement during a Europa League game in Nice - where a terror attack killed 86 last year.

Masses of Lazio fans headed to the south of France, with some ultras calling for for "non-violence, non-racism, and non-confrontation".
While hoards of Irriducibili managed to enjoy themselves without violence in the south of France, some were pictured making Nazi-like salutes inside the Allianz Riviera.
The Irriducibili are celebrating 30 years of fascism and fighting, having started to take over the renowned Curva Nord section of their Stadio Olimpico home with a single banner back in 1987.
After getting the party started on Tuesday in Rome, they headed out for a sunny Thursday in atrocity-hit Nice wearing ‘FCK ISIS’ t-shirts.

Although any good will towards fellow fans was tarnished by fascist salutes during the 3-1 away win.
While the Irriducibili have officially disbanded, neo-fascist sympathisers continue to get away racist chants inside stadiums.

Lazio fans make Anne Frank slur - 2/10/2017

Source: http://www.football-italia.net/

Lazio fans left images of Anne Frank in a Roma kit and anti-semitic messages in the Curva Sud after their win over Cagliari.
The Biancocelesti have been given a two game closure of the Curva Nord for racist chanting, the first of which was last night.
As a result the Curva Sud was open to Aquile fans, which is unusual as that’s the area of the Stadio Olimpico where their city rivals typically sit.
Today it has emerged that some Lazio fans used the occasion to leave offensive materials for their city rivals, including pictures of Anne Frank in a Roma shirt.

Other materials left included the phrase “Romanista Jews”, and homophobic references to the Giallorossi fans.
The offending materials were removed this morning, ahead of the Lupi’s game against Crotone on Wednesday.
“This is not a Curva,” Ruth Dureghello, President of Rome’s Jewish society wrote on Twitter.
“This is not football, this is not sport. Get anti-Semits out of the stadiums.”
The FIGC prosecutor is expected to open an investigation tomorrow, and law enforcement agencies are also investigating, though it’s not thought a crime has been committed.
Lazio stewards who were present at the Olimpico last night didn’t alert the city, who own the stadium.
“The deplorable scenes which we saw at the Olimpico yesterday should be prevented and repressed, wherever they occur,” Partito Democratico politician Walter Verini told ANSA.
“Unforunately the Curve in football stadiums are often occupied by agitators who don’t understand what these symbols mean when they spread their anti-Semitic messages.
“If they knew their history, perhaps a lot of them would disassociate themselves from such offensive gestures.”

No away fans at Croatia v Greece World Cup playoff - 26/10/2017

Source: http://www.eurosport.com/

No away fans will be allowed to attend either leg of Croatia's World Cup playoff against Greece due to concerns over crowd trouble, the Croatian Football Association (HNS) said on its website (www.hns-cfr.hr) on Thursday.

"The leaderships of the HNS and the Greek Football Association have agreed in Athens today that there will be no away fans section in either of the two legs of the World Cup playoff tie between the two teams," the HNS said.

"Having taken into consideration the risk factors and the security assessments, both football associations have made a joint decision not to sell any tickets to the away fans in either match.

"FIFA, UEFA and other governing bodies have been notified of the decision."

The first leg will be played in Dinamo Zagreb's Maksimir stadium on Nov. 12, with the return fixture at the Georgios Karaiskakis stadium in Athens three days later.

A Euro 2012 qualifier between the two teams in 2011 was marred by serious crowd trouble in Athens, when masked Greek fans hurled flares at visiting Croatia supporters, who in turn ripped seats and threw them at riot police.
In 2010, Dinamo Zagreb fans stoned a coach carrying away PAOK Salonika supporters and set it ablaze ahead of the Europa League match between the Croatian side and their Greek rivals.

Croatian fans also caused a number of incidents in Euro 2016 qualifying, which forced their national team to play several fixtures behind closed doors, including home 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Iceland and Turkey.

Animosity between Croatian and Greek fans is fuelled by friendly ties between hard-core Greek fans and those coming from Croatia's bitter Balkan rivals Serbia, with the brethren groups often joining forces when either team plays the Croatians at club and international level.
