Soccer / ultras

Ultras of Red Star Belgrade took over flag of one of the oldest Roma fan groups and showed it up in next game turned around and set it on fire. In ultras world this is big shame which is forcing group whose banner has been taken away and turned around to stop to exist. As far as I understand Red Star fans get bothered with fact that Roma fans become close friends to Croatian Dinamo Zagreb fans called "Bad Blue Boys". Those are gentlemen from Croatia who recently marched saluting Nazi "Sieg heil" in black uniforms in Italy and who chant Ustashe songs on regular basis. Message above Roma flag on the picture is "You chose wrong friends". From what I can read in domestic newspapers they had help in this attack by Napoli fans. Napoli fans are in state of war with Roma's. I am afraid this will start spiral of violence between various ultras. It would be interesting if both AS Roma and Red Star qualify for Champions League and end up in same group next year... Happening on the pitch might be boring, but happening outside of it would be very interesting. Interesting things could happen even earlier if few hundred Italians infiltrate on North Stand of Red Star stadium on ordinary game and try some retaliation, because ordinary games are very low attendance in Serbia. We still remember when people from Split closed to Hajduk Split infiltrated on South Stand on Partizan stadium on the derby day against Red Star. However South Stand was full of people who kicked them hard and only riot police saved their lives. It was anyway brave attempt similar to one when Rad Belgrade fans (15 of them!!) went to Split before game against Hajduk in front of their stand and start shouting against them during ex Yugoslavia. Hajduk fan gave interview after "15 of them came here against all of us. Of course they ended up badly beaten, but we value high their attempt, they showed they have heart." I don't understand this and of course not support such things, but I feel it's going to be interesting in next couple of months. Italians will not let this go just like that for sure.
