February 3, 200719 yr Theres always violence and riots in Italian football games. Well, i bet it will open again sometime soon. With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.
February 3, 200719 yr ... Look at how things were there in the days of the Empire, probably after a very tough race or gladiatorial game, some people lost big wagers in an unlikely event of loss by the superior opponent, and lots of urban guards/legionaires died trying to stop the riots, possibly tens/hundreds. Not that it's a good thing, the policeman was innocent after all, but it's weird they're shutting down the whole league. I wonder how he died.. But still, that's sad and pathetic. It has nothing to do with sports anymore. Being ready to kill somebody is no longer the spirit of the game/watching the game, it's criminal activity.
February 3, 200719 yr I blame football hooligans that make a silly sport the focus of their existences. the russians are the best! Hands down!
February 3, 200719 yr omg, soccer, (thats american for football,{or fussball if your german}) give me american football any day. oh, and that really sucks, a guy getting killed because the fans got too drunk and mad, hmmm. Say what you mean and mean what you say because those that matter don't mind, and those that mind don't matter.
February 3, 200719 yr I wonder what punishment FIFA will impose? Probably a ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã2,000 fine. :roll: IMO it should be somthing like, ban the italian national team for 7 years (missing out on euro 2014) + ban all italian clubs from europe for 10 years. www.PETAkillsanimals.com

Good call, I say. If the fans are deprived then they'll learn that the only way they can see it all is sans the violence. handed me TWO tissues to clear up. I was like "i'm going to need a few more paper towels than that luv"

February 3, 200719 yr Palermo are my second team (Sicilian roots) but I can't condone this. It's horrendous. I still don't know which sets of fans killed the policeman but both are responsible. It's a crying shame that a minority of idiots will bring a ban on the Rossonero. That's what I'd imagine will happen, 3-4 year European ban. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you.
February 3, 200719 yr I saw this on Sky Sports News last night, the city seemed to turn into a full scale riot. There was tear-gas thrown onto the pitch as well, the players were running and covering their eyes to avois it. It's terrible that somebody has died over this, some things are bigger than sports at the end of the day. Italy at the moment seems to have the same hooliganism problem that England had during the 1980's, it's something they're going to have to clamp down on immediately. He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus (525 BC - 456 BC)
