looks like the ugly side of Italian football is back in the news again. A police officer was killed tonight during rioting at a match when an explosive device was thrown during fighting between supporters.

Seems to kick off all the time over there at the min.

Was talk of suspending all Italian league matches for a while.

 

[SeagullTim]

They have postponed all Serie A and Serie B matches this weekend.

Italy are probably the worst in Europe on football violence at present

Take any mob of italians and they go mental, could be a gig, footy, church service, whatever.

'course, face to face with another mob, and you can't see 'em for white flags.

So how many years will Italian clubs be banned from european competitions for?

Or will it be another slap on the wrist, don't worry about it too much, we'll just for the England fans to kick off and we'll make an example of them.

Brushed under the carpet as usual

At least Palermo won!!!! £13 returns

Disgraceful scenes though, saw them on the news at the Triangle.

Yeah and I'm sure you'd be saying that in Sicily.

Bollocks. It's a few nutters at a football game, not really very different to what happened here 20 odd years ago or so.

The difference is, Italians dont tend to do it abroad and it never happens with the national team.

Think this is outside UEFA's remit anyway, seeing as it's a domestic matter.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the police inspector died as a result of a heart attack, after someone threw a letter bomb into his car.

Been there done that. Naples is worse than Palermo mind; still shitters though!!!
