They also attacked a random PSG fan beat him half to death then pushed him off 4 story building! The fan died. I don't like the French but the Serbs can be some right evil *****.

Great. There's probably loads of them living here too

There was never any trouble like that when it was still YUGOSLAVIA - and their reserves
didn't get to draw with England either!
I blame TITO for dying and the West for engineering the breakup of the Yugoslav Federation

They are the scum of Europe, and I wish UEFA would chuck them out, knowing full well that they won't, because UEFA are even more useless than our own FA.

i reckon they will kick them, much easier than one of the major nations with all their lovely TV revenue lolly to worry about. set an example with a country i'd imagine with very little clout.

I'm sure at 3:41 he says "gay pride"

I haven't watched all the video, but it seems to be less rioting and more a few blokes sitting on a fence...

Indeed. The authorities are rather slack on teams/countries and their misdemeanours/racism until it is a country/club that most people won't miss.

So around 10 fans can wreck a game, Italian police should have steamed in big time.

He did.

La Gazzetta dello Sport was claiming earlier on that the main protagonists of tonight's disturbances were the Ultras of Red Star Belgrade - who are also being blamed for an attack on the Pride march in Belgrade last Sunday that left 100 people injured.

They've now changed their story slightly and are dishing out the blame equally to Red Star and Partizan Ultras.

Like they weren't interested after England fans caused the premature ending of the clash in Dublin in 1995? I was there that day and seem to remember a sizeable number of the England contingent being involved. And there was Turin 1980, Switzerland 1981, Mexico 1986, Germany 1988, Italy 1990, Sweden 1992....we could go on. Not one single expulsion, not one single point deducted.

I think England have been rather fortunate...

The person killed was a Toulouse fan over in Belgrade last year for a European match against Partizan. Toulouse are a club without any hooligan record to speak of, unlike PSG.

Anyone know why the Serbian fans would boo their own anthem?

It depends on what reports you read. Sky says that it was Serbian fans booing. Other reports say it was Italian fans.

A significant factor is that Serbia's fascist extremists are opposed to Serbian independence and do not support the pro-European, pro-American Serbian state that has, for example, been "flexible" on the issue of independence for Kosovo.

Its a good job this match was not played in Rome or Naples, things could have got a lot worse. These northern Italians are a lot calmer than the southerners. Credit to the Italian supporters for walking out peacefully when the match was abandoned.

Some things these videos are not showing as I watched it all unfold on Rai Uno.
Serbian supporters giving the Italians the finger. The serbian supporter smashing the barrier to pieces with what looked like a metal chair to get at the Italian supporters, then the camera man showing the supporter handing it back to another serbian supporter and hiding it.

Free Kosovo - I can see that. But surely Palestine is not Serbia.

italians bottle it again photographers didn't seem scared though

 

[Mr Blobby]

made the atmosphere at Wembley last night seam a bit tame!

When the Ukranian fans threw flares at Green when we lost in the WC qualifier the game was not abandoned!
