Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm - looks like the Italian disease has cropped up again this weekend. A Lazio fan was killed in an accident as Police tried to break up fighting between Juventus fans and Lazio fans at a motorway service station in Tuscany. Reports from Italy suggested that Police fired warning shots at a group of scrapping fans and that one of the Lazio fans Gabriele Sandri, was hit and subsequently died. Today's Inter/Lazio game was called off today.
Anyway, the match in Bergamo between Atalanta and Milan was called off 10 minutes into the second half after fans tried to pull down barriers to get access to the pitch and the Police. There had been scraps all day with fans apparently after twatting a copper or two in revenge for the death.
Various sites reported trouble between fans and the bizzies at other matches around the country and in serie B games too.
Wonder if
UEFA will take any action against this? Italy clearly has a football violence problem. Yes the Police fired the shots that killed the fan. However, rival groups of fans meeting up on the motorway for a scrap before the game, its madness.
Footy Violence Today - Italy Again....
