Inter-Lazio and all Sunday’s Serie A games could be called off after a Lazio fan was killed – apparently by a policeman – during a fight with Juventus supporters. Initial reports are low on details at the moment, but it is believed two groups of Ultras clashed when they crossed paths at a motorway service station in Badia al Pino, Arezzo. A Lazio fan was killed during the fighting, but it is currently claimed this was an accident caused by police officers. A shot rang out to try to distract the group and the news agencies are suggesting the bullet struck the Lazio supporter. An emergency meeting is currently being held between Lega Calcio President Antonio Matarrese and police chief Antonio Manganelli to decide whether to suspend Inter-Lazio or possibly the entire Week 12 fixture list. There are fears that if it is confirmed a fan was killed by police officers, the tension between them and the Ultras around Italy will rise to dangerous levels this weekend. Channel4

As of 5 minutes ago, the emergency meeting is talking about calling off all the games. Merda-Lazio is almost certainly going to be called off.

Bull. Guns don't go off and there are no accidental one-shot kills! I'm totally against Ultras and whatever it is they do but this guy was assassinated!! I wouldn't mind at all if the pig that took his life away is "accidentally" killed by a bat on the head!

QUOTE (bigmacmtl @ Nov 11 2007, 08:13 PM) I'm not. I just believe in some things just like anyone believes in some other things... One would say that I cannot speak like this cause I'm devaluing human life or whatever. Well, I don't value human life as high as some and my position is that some people deserve to die... and no I'm not waiting for any God to judge that. Maybe that fan deserved to die too...

When the policeman was killed last year, all games were postponed. A fan's life is not worth as much... or so it seems! They are right to protest now but these clans should not exist (in the way they do) in the first place! Now learn to like it...

QUOTE (mishie @ Nov 11 2007, 03:19 PM) Surely you can't be serious. These mobs are marching against the police. They're not football fans at all. They're an organized mob using football as an excuse to attack the police. Yes, the tragic murder of the Lazio fan (who was a popular dj at a Rome disco, it turns out) needs to be investigated and if the traffic cop who fired the shot murdered him then he should be held accountable. But mass protests in the street like this have nothing to do with football. They're societal problems and in my opinion, after this ALL the ultra groups should en masse have their tickets revoked all over Italy. EDIT: A mob of ultras has attacked and, basically, sacked the seat of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) in Rome. They've also attacked a police station in Rome and blocked one of the major bridges in the city. link

IMO these so called "ultras" are nothing but stupid criminals that destroy foorball as a sport. A games purpose is always to entertain not to kill! But these criminal b@stards see football as a field where they to live out their aggresions. IMO they should all be arrested and be kept outside football stadiums so that calcio finally gets rid of these parasites!

Late reports in Italy indicate that the government may ban traveling support for ALL games. From the wording, I think it's all professional divisions (Serie A, B, C) and that the ban will be indefinite if it happens.

The government authorities are meeting now. They're talking about a ban on traveling support for the rest of the season.
EDIT: initial report in Gazzetta circa 3.30pm CET: ban on traveling support and closure of the curva in Bergamo (ie, Atalanta's). These are 'the first decisions' made by the extraordinary meeting going on in Rome (including government, the Italian FA and Lega Calcio officials).
