:shock:

Whoa that's pretty shocking.  Flares are just being lobbed onto the pitch, Dida was hit in the back, and it seems as though the match is certain to be abandoned.  Inter will probably get a lengthy ban.

Should we do this in protest of King's management?   :D  :twisted:

See that hole on Dida shirt. I bet Inter will get a way with it.
If it was an English club, we would be banned for years.

dida deserved it for looking like a frog.

i fear for liverpool

so do i decks. italy has a real problem with hooliganism

There was fighting at the San Siro when Italy played Scotland in the recent WC qualifier. Italian fans were fighting amongst themselves and the police with sticks.

As Blinkpip said, if this sort of stuff happened in this country everyone would be clambering for England to be thrown out of the WC etc etc.

  Nearly as disgraceful as Hearts fans booing through the minutes silence v Celtic as a mark of repect for the departed  Pontiff.......but not quite.

Anyone know if the liverpool game will be replayed at any point on tv..wil miss it due to city game.

Point taken Reg, i'd like to say it was the minority of Hearts fans who booed and jeered, unfortunately it wasn't. I am fairly anti-religion in general but was disgusted with the behaviour of the fans around me and quite embarrased to be honest.

There was only a couple of flares - they could have carried on!

Liverpool can buggar off. Swindon win is all that matters tomorrow. Sorry.
Highlights is on about 11.30 thou.  :o

some of you talk utter bollocks, english clubs were banned because liverpool fans KILLED 39 people. a bit more serious than a few flairs.

Hear, hear Mex!!!  Let's get this into context before we spout of comments worthy of the back page of the Sun.

 :D

how the hell do these people sneak flares into the ground?

I remmember Inter fans got a Scooter into the top tier of the San Siro once and lobbed it onto the stands below.

So Im sure getting a few flares into the ground is very difficult.

Its not difficult to get flares into grounds into this country. Its just the police very rigourously prosecute any wrongdoing in any ground. Not so over there. Makes it more fun though.

Details of the 'Scooter incident':

Bloody hell, I thought Spence was joking!!!  That's hilarious.

Italian Steward: "Do you have any offensive weapons concealed inside that scooter sir?"

Inter Fan: "Of course not mate, you can check it if you like.."

Italian Steward "No problem, in you go.."

I think the problems over here are mainly due to the lack of proper policing. In England, when you do something wrong at a match, they haul you out and into a cell, sometimes even if you're innocent, especially if you're an away fan.

But over here the police don't ever want to go near the 'curvas' where the hard-core are because they know that a few thousand nutters wouls start a full on riot. For them it's not worth the bother really. It happens every single weekend, though not to the extent that Dida felt...

When the flare hit Dida all of the Inter Ultras (and most of the crowd) were chanting 'DIDA! DIDA! VAFANCULO (fuck off you fucking fuck face)!' for a fucking age... They loved it.

I wish I lived in Italy it sounds like England in the 80's 8)

But the hooligans don't even drink!! They may have a robust red later on in the evening, but they generally do all of their hooliganism sober as a judge.

And NOBODY wears football shirts here.... not when they go down the pub, not when they're poncing around town, not when they're mincing around in the park with a ball, not even when they go to the match! Losers.

My local pub is called the Bristol  :evil:  But there's nothing English about it except for a few pictures of boats in England.
