Soccer beasts in action again. I mean both players and their fans.... Today Poland plays Slovakia in the Slovakian capital.. Polish fans started riots as usual.    Before the match, Slovakian tabloids had advised their country`s fans on how to provoke and irritate Polish players. They proposed some slogans to be shouted in the stadium: Polish women are ugly! Janosik was Slovakian! You have stolen mountain cheese from us! (oscypek is a kind of cheese produced by Polish and Slovakian highlanders). Kubica is from Slovakia! The Tatra Mountains are ours! www.tvn24.pl/12694,1568831,,,polki-sa-brzydkie--a-kubica-pochodzi-ze-slowacji,wiadomosc.html |

Polish hooligans started fights with Irish fans before the national teams` match in Belfast, N. Ireland. Riot police had to step in. A few pubs were demolished by Poles who hadn`t had a chance to buy tickets. Today a dozen Polish immigrants` houses in Belfast were attacked by enraged Irish.  news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-News/Northern-Ireland-And-Poland-Fans-Fight-In-Belfast-As-Two-Teams-Comptete-In-World-Cup-Qualifier/Article/200903415251275?lpos=UK_News_First_Home_Article_Teaser_Region_4&lid=ARTICLE_15251275_Northern_Ireland_And_Poland_Fans_Fight_In_Belfast_As_Two_Teams_Comptete_In_World_Cup_Qualifier 
Rival fans fought with each other and clashed with riot police in sporadic confrontations across Belfast throughout the day.
The Bedford Street bar was badly damaged when chairs were thrown through the window and the Tates Avenue area close to the ground was sealed off as police came under attack from fireworks, traffic cones, bricks, bottles and other missiles.
A number of homes were also targeted in what police described as racially motivated incidents.
While Northern Ireland has a sizeable resident Polish population, police believe the troublemakers on the Poland side were a "hard core" element who do not live in the country and travelled to the game without tickets.
Local police commander superintendent Chris Noble said he was concerned about reprisal attacks against the local Polish community.
"We believe there was a hard core of Polish nationals who came to the game without tickets but with a very clear intent to cause trouble and disruption to genuine supporters and local residents," he said.
"We believe these troublemakers are not local; they have travelled to Northern Ireland with the express purpose of causing trouble.
"Unfortunately their actions may well have put the safety of law abiding and local Polish residents in jeopardy.
"I would appeal to all right-minded people to assist these neighbours and unite with them to condemn this type of behaviour and isolate the perpetrators of this type of criminality."
Polish apology over match trouble
BBC News
4/16/09
Groups representing Polish people in Northern Ireland have apologised for the trouble at last month's World Cup qualifier in Belfast.
There was trouble before and after the fixture, damaging community relations in the south of the city.
The Polish Community Forum of Northern Ireland criticised the "intolerable behaviour" of so-called Polish fans.
Maciek Bator of the Polish Association of Northern Ireland said they wanted to rebuild "good relations".
After the match several Polish families in Northern Ireland were attacked or intimidated, mainly in the loyalist Village area of south Belfast.
Mr Bator said about 40 people were forced to leave the Village area because of the intimidation, but that most still wanted to live and work in Northern Ireland.
Ashamed
Since the trouble there have been intense efforts to rebuild relations with the community.
"We felt we had to tell communities in Northern Ireland that we were ashamed by this violence and want to rebuild relations," he said.
The forum, whose groups also come from towns such as Newry, Londonderry and Portadown where large numbers of Poles are living, represents about 27,000 Polish people living in Northern Ireland.
"As has been repeatedly indicated, as Polish immigrants living in Northern Ireland we disassociate ourselves in every respect from the group of so-called supporters who came to Belfast not for the football match but deliberately to bring about rioting," the forum said in its statement.
There are tens of thousands of Polish people living and working in Northern Ireland, drawn in during the boom years when work was easier to find.
Mr Bator said that after the football violence "a few" Poles had decided to leave, but said trouble finding employment had been a large factor in this and the trouble was being used as an excuse.
"We have to explain that the Polish community is here for the long-term," he added.--------------------------------------------------------------------- Platini gives Poland thumbs up for Euro 2012
4/16/609
Warsaw - UEFA president Michel Platini gave Poland the thumbs up Thursday after an inspection in Warsaw on the country's preparations for the Euro 2012 football championships. Platini said he did not see any problems in Poland and was convinced Euro 2012, being co-hosted with Ukraine, would be a success.
The former France international said Poland would have beautiful stadiums, but more importantly football would develop in the former Soviet bloc.
Poland's Sports Minister Miroslaw Drzewiecki said the country proposed six cities to the UEFA chief, and hoped the tournament would be played in them all.
Poland's candidate venues are in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Gdansk, Chorzow and Wroclaw.
At a press conference in Kiev during a visit to Ukraine on Wednesday, Platini said the tournament could be played in "six to eight cities...the best venues possible, the country notwithstanding. "
UEFA will make the final cut on May 12 from a dozen candidates from Poland and Ukraine. |

Again these football morons. I am always amazed there are so few fatal incidents, considering their abundant weaponry they carry with them to matches.
Machetes and axes found on Krakow football train
24.08.2010 08:58
Twenty five machetes and three axes were among weapons found on Wisla Krakow football fans returning from a first division Ekstraklasa match against Widzew Lodz, police report.
Lodz police spokeswoman Joanna Kącka said the weapons were detected during a search of carriages of a special train waiting to take the Wisla Krakow ‘fans’ back to Krakow after the away fixture at the weekend.
Police found 25 machetes, a military bayonet, three axes, four knives, two wooden sticks 70 cm long and a balaclava. Police say that the hooligans didn’t get a chance to use the weapons during the match, however.
“There were no serious incidents during and after the match,” spokeswoman Kącka confirmed to TVP public television.
Wisla won the match against Widzew 0 - 1.
In July, a 17-year old from Krakow was hospitalised after being attacked by hooligans wielding either swords or machetes. Police later found a weapons cache including machetes and knives. |

One man dead as hooligans run riot
09.01.2011 16:26
Police in the central city of Lodz have detained eight football hooligans after a fight between rival gangs left one man dead, Saturday.
The fight was staged on Saturday morning by 300 people identifying themselves as supporters of LKS and Widzew, two teams from Lodz which are known for having a bitter rivalry.
When police arrived at the scene, most of the hooligans had dispersed, except for a seriously hurt 24-year-old man who later died of his injuries.
In an ongoing effort to discern who was responsible for the fight, and ultimately the death of the man, identified as being a resident of the city’s Gorna district, Police have since detained eight men aged between 19 and 26 years old.
The hooligans may face up to ten years in prison for their participation in the fight. Police say more arrests are to be expected.

Record number of ticket applications for Euro 2012
01.04.2011 15:33
Over 10 million people have applied for tickets for the Euro 2012 football finals, to be held in Poland and Ukraine.
The Euro 2012 ticket application process, which lasted from 1 March, finished last night at the stroke of midnight.
Even UEFA has been shocked at the level of interest for tickets.
In two weeks UEFA will choose the lucky fans who will get tickets through a lottery, as demand has far outstripped supply.
Chances to watch football matches at one of the Euro 2012 stadia depend on the category of ticket and the host city. The western city of Wroclaw, for example, will accommodate 120,000 football fans during three group matches.
Over a million people applied for tickets at the Wroclaw stadium, however.======================================================
In the wake of last Friday's riots by Polish fans following the defeat to Lithuania in Kaunas, UEFA has voiced serious concerns that hooliganism could ruin next year’s Euro 2012 tournament, co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine.
Euro 2012 director Martin Kallen expressed grave misgivings today about the conduct of fans.
“We saw what happened in Kaunas on Friday,' he said. “This is a huge image problem for Poland.”
Around 60 fans were detained last Friday night during and after the game with Lithuania, with eight held over for 48 hours on public disorder charges.
Former president of the Polish FA Michal Listkiewicz, Kallen's Polish counterpart, did his best to allay fears of unruly behaviour.
“We just won't let hooligans into the stadiums,” he said of problematic fans, stressing that the events in Lithuania should not be seen as a portent to Euro 2012.
Similar fears about Polish hooligans were expressed prior to Euro 2008, which was hosted by Austria and Switzerland. However, Polish participation in the tournament did not ultimately give rise to any unsavoury incidents by hooligans.

In the Netherlands the firms of Ajax ('the super jews'), Feijenoord, PSV, FC Utrecht, FC Twente, FC Groningen, FC The Hague, Vitesse (Arnhem) and other clubs might unite. The same with Great-Britain, Germany, Belgium, France, Serbia, Czech republic and not to forget Russia. The Polish Hooligans are already notorious in Europe. Those thugs and idiots are getting crazier and crazier and in many firms criminal elements are involved, because Hooligans use hard drugs. The Polish, Ukrainian police and their European counterparts must count on that. That these are not just agressive youths, but chemical machines filled with drugs and alcohol. The Polish Hooligans are city patriots, club patriots, trained gangs, bu the Western European Hooligans are idiots, criminals, and people without ethics, mercy, moral or decency. And the Russians and Serbs are the same beasts like the British, Dutch and German scum. Even the Belgians have their thugs nowadays. |

If I wanted to watch a real "mans sport", I'd watch rugby or MMA. ;D ;D ;D I'll agree with Mike, If these people live such miserable lives that sporting events are where they invest their passions, they live a sad existence. I enjoy watching sports on occasion, but I don't consider it any different than watching cartoons or porn. It's all mindless entertainment  |

Glee,
I don't hold the Poles for this, because it is not a Polish problem, but a European one. Hooliganism and skinheads were a British phenomenon, and they were exported to the continent. All over Europe people behave agressive in Stadiums, it is not an exclusive Polish problem.

In that perspecive I can make myself clear. I do like Czechs and I am not particular fond of Slovaks. But the same counts for Russians, * Ukrainians, Baltic people, Germans, Japanese and Rumanians.

Police have detained another 48 fans of Legia Warsaw and Lech Poznan in connection with the rioting at the Polish Cup final in Bydgoszcz last Tuesday.
The detentions come after 26 alleged hooligans were arrested earlier this week after being identified from CCTV and television images.
Chief of Police Andrzej Matejuk said this morning that the investigation into the rioting, which caiused considerable damage to the stadium in Bydgoszcz where the Polish Cup final was being played, was still ongoing and further detentions could follow today or at the weekend.
Andrzej Matejuk said that those detained were not only from Warsaw and Poznan but other cities too.
The detentions follow a ban imposed yesterday on supporters travelling to away matches in the first and second division until the end of the season.
The rioting at the Polish Cup final plus fighting between Polish and Lithuanian fans at a recent friendly between the two national sides has raised concerns among UEFA officials ahead of Poland and Ukraine hosting the Euro 2012 football championships next summer.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk held a meeting on Wednesday with officials from the Ekstraklasa first division, urging them to get tough with Poland’s hooligan problem.
“There are sufficient legal instruments to deal with this issue already. What is necessary is the will to put them into practice,” he told reporters.

Tufta, Jeanne, Tim, Mike, Piotr, do you know any of them? If you do, please, don`t sweep it under the carpet. Cooperate with the Polish law. Justice must be justice. Photos of thugs
20th May 2011
©
Police are now asking witnesses to come forward to help with the identification of those involved
Police have released the photos of 51 football hooligans. who were involved in the recent riots in Bydgoszcz following the Polish cup final on May 3.
The match, in which Legia Warszawa beat fierce rivals Lech Poznan on penalties, was marred by the shocking scenes in which hundreds of fans spilled onto the pitch causing an estimated PLN 40,000 worth of damage to the stadium.
Authorities now hope that the photos, which were officially released this week, will help lead to the identification and arrests of some of the hooligans involved.
The shots were put together by experts from Wielkopolska police, although during the riots many fans covered their faces with scarves making identification difficult. It is thought that the majority of those involved were fans of Lech Poznan.
“The publication of these photos should help us to establish exactly who these people are and hopefully put a stop to such behaviour happening again in the future. The law does not prohibit us from printing pictures of people who are wanted in connection with such crimes,” Jan Bednarek, a spokesman for the District Prosecutor’s Office in Bydgoszcz said in daily Gazeta Wyborcza.
Police are now urging anyone who might recognise any of the people involved to get in touch and help identify them.
While officials have stated that it is almost impossible to put an exact figure on the number involved, so far only around 50 people have been arrested in connection with the riots.
Charges of those arrested so far include the destruction of property, invading the pitch and assaulting police and security personnel.
In one case, a hooligan has been charged with kicking a television cameraman and was sentenced to one month in prison.
The prosecution added that there was no negligence with regards to the organisation of the event and that despite the trouble, security measures and officials were up to standard.
The growing problem surrounding Polish football does not bode well for next year’s upcoming EURO 2012 competition which Poland is set to co-host with neighbours Ukraine.
Trouble such as that witnessed in Bydgoszcz has caused Prime Minster Donald Tusk to speak out and warn clubs that strict measures such as playing games behind closed doors may have to be imposed if such behaviour continues.
“Speaking with police and local authorities, we have decided that events like this may have to take place without any fans present if police feel that they cannot guarantee safety,” he said at a recent press conference after the match.

Unfortunately the last time I was in Poznan was in 1987, so I don't know any of these thugs, and I don't have any connections with Legia Warszawa. My first and last football-match I visited was Ajax-FC Den Haag in the old Ajax stadium De Meer in 1991. I was naïeve ;D and sitting in the Ajax Hooligan section (F-side) next to the fence with hardcore FC Den Haag Hooligans. So it was quite an atmosphere, tension and agressive atmosphere.  Stadium de Meer (1934-1996) pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Meer_Stadion The new Ajax stadium, Arena (1996 - today) I have never been to this new stadium Arena. And I am not a Ajax fan neither, I am not a fan of any Dutch club. I prefer tennis, rowing, heavy weight boxing and skating. |
