I'm not sure if you guys have heard the reports but this morning in Spain, there was crowd trouble between Atlético Madrid and Deportivo La Coruña ultras a few hours before the match outside the Vicente Calderón Stadium. This crowd trouble has led to the death of a Deportivo fan.

As you guys may remember, I was in Coruña a few months ago to watch Deportivo play Rayo Vallecano. Before I went into the stadium to find my seat, I went for a walk around the entire outside of the stadium and I stumbled across the Deportivo ultras having their pre-match party with flares and music. Remembering this makes me think that the guy that will never return home to see his family may have been there that night and I may have even seen his face and the enjoyment that he would have been having with his mates.

This sort of incident really shows the bad side of football and how people can take a sport way too seriously because no one should have to die supporting their team. RIP to the Deportivo fan and let's hope that another incident like this doesn't happen again.

Boing Boing guys.

There was a Serbian supporter killed the other week attending a basketball match between Galatasary and Red Star Belgrade, Not the first time Galatasary fans have used knifes its about time the authorities come down on them like a tonne of bricks though Serbian fans are no angels themselves

It was the same over here though - to a lesser extent maybe - in the 70's; these thugs are nothing to do with football and just use the football arena to attack others. Sometimes these 'others' are rival idiots but at other times they are innocent people and REAL football fans. Terrible that someone should be killed by these morons.
They do as much harm to the game as Blatter and his FIFA cartel, and that's saying something.
