Preziosi: Stop Serie A 
Monday 12 November, 2007
Genoa President Enrico Preziosi has called for a long break in the Serie A season after the weekend’s turmoil.

After the chaotic events of the weekend, the Rossoblu patron doesn’t want to see the problem brushed under the carpet.

“You can’t pretend that nothing happened yesterday,” Preziosi told Radio Kiss Kiss. “This is the umpteenth demonstration that something isn’t working.

“I don’t agree with banning away fans. Why should we have to stop honest citizens who want to watch a game in another city?”

Preziosi’s solution to the current crisis is one of the more radical suggestions to be proposed over the last 24 hours.

“It’s not right to punish everyone just to stop a few. Rather than stop a single game or ban away fans, I’d be inclined to suspend the championship until something changes.

“Two or three months off would help show the world of football it’s true nature.

“I don’t believe in the culture of prohibition, rather I think we need to apply the rules that we already have.

“The laws are there to stop these events, but they are never fully applied. I think it’s time to call an end to this.”

I agree 100%. This is the way to deal with these issues.

My point exactly Max. The issue here shouldn't be the Laziale's death from the policeman's gun. It ought to be why in the Bergamo there was no protection?!! Or why the ultras were allowed to stop the match in the first place. There should be enough police power to evac the place off these militants (they are NOT ultras), when such incidents happen. In this scenario, by resorting to force, the militants have gotten what they wanted. It's even set off a precedent!!

I'm sure banning(don't really like this one) or placing heavy restrictions on the Ultras can be done WITHOUT suspending the league.

The Ultras are one of my favourite things about Serie A. I used to dream about being a part of FDL. Now things are a little different. There's a lot more militancy in the approach. And maybe it's a reflection on the socio-economic conditions in the country? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

England banning the ultras is a different case. Despite kurt's and Ash's best attempts to be b@d @$$, the English are intrinsically good, law abiding, society-serving individuals. If a law is there, they tend to follow it. D'ya know they even queue up for the bus (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I'll tell you kurt's gonna have to wait a LOOOOONG time to catch a bus in India!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I must admit that I used to be amazed watching the ultras with their displays and choreographies. But, unfortunately, all we seem to see now is the darker side of ultra culture and the thing is is that it's seriously affecting the Serie A - that is why I think the clubs must disown themselves from ultras completely.
