Serie A is getting out of hand something must be done, there is this then a director of an amuetuer club died last week trying to stop a brawl, there was violence in the viola match that weekend as well, not forgetting the euro derby a few years back

What im afaid of is retaliation and a downward chain of violence that will loop

Please do something FIGC

the victim was inspector Filippo Raciti... aged 38 years old & left behind his wife & 2 sons...

Italian weekend cancelled??????

YOU MUST BE FU**ING JOKING!!!!!!

                 

A man lost his life.

Have some respect man

Respect is one thing, making everyone else miserable is another! What happened all the other times someone CLOSE to Milan died? 1 minute silence at the most!

Italian weekend cancelled??????

YOU MUST BE FU**ING JOKING!!!!!!

                 

What a tragedy! I can't recognize football anymore. All I see is business and violence in it, nothing else. I feel truly sorry about Filippo, and especially his family. I know how it feels when you lose somebody close to you. And to think he was only 38...

R.I.P.

Shut the F@ck up!
As han said, a man just lost his life! This is bigger than football! Football is supposed to entertain people and let them have fun, a good time. It's not supposed to let people die! Better think twice before you talk such bs again!

It's how I feel, sue me! NEVER try to take my opinion away from me!  Well how can it entertain people if it's cancelled?

Have you ever lost somebody close to you?

Loads of people - life goes on otherwise I wouldn't be here! This guy isn't close to me! I'm not unsympathetic I just don't see why we should have to suffer!

This is a tragedy, both for this man losing his life and Italian football in general.

Did the Catania fans have to make a riot? No.

2 questionable goals to palermo, anger is expected but this is disgusting to see.

The FIGC need to take action, the first thing they should do is penalise both teams with fines and make them play their matches behind closed doors for a considerable number of matches.

This isn't the first time the Palermo fans have caused trouble

Loads of people - life goes on otherwise I wouldn't be here! This guy isn't close to me! I'm not unsympathetic I just don't see why we should have to suffer!

Then, as LaPalma mentioned above, I feel really sorry for you.

The ''fans'' that killed the policeman didn't watch the game, they were fighting with police to get to Palermo fans who were waiting the entire first half outside a stadium to get in. This violence has nothing to do with their team loosing, it has to do with their hateride against Palermo fans. This is a derby between two sicily teams.

Come on, you're suffering because Milan aren't going to play for a weekend??

Again something needs to be done, football can't go on like this, if so then it isn't entertainment anymore

If you're gonna feel sorry for me, I'd prefer it was that I'm gonna miss my beloved Milan! Otherwise I'm fine mate!

Something needs to be done.

Paople are losing their lives here. If it means a game is postponed for a weekend then so be it.

This isn't just someone dying because of an accident or natural causes he was KILLED because of a stupid questionable goal!!!

If that doesn't sound tragic to you and you don't feel the need that there should be something done about it, then I don't know what is

If you're gonna feel sorry for me, I'd prefer it was that I'm gonna miss my beloved Milan! Otherwise I'm fine mate!

If you're gonna feel sorry for me, I'd prefer it was that I'm gonna miss my beloved Milan! Otherwise I'm fine mate!

Again, this has nothing to do with this game. It has to do with rivalery between two sicily groups that hate each other. They went to this game not to wach it, but to fight. They didn't even watch a game, they were fighting outside a stadium when game was beeing played.

Yea, but how is missing a game gonna help? Like I said 1 min. silence?! unsure.gif wink.gif

You will miss your beloved Milan only for one week, while Filippo's family will miss their beloved person until they join him in heaven. Try to understand what exactly has happened and then come and talk here, would ya?

I got/have had my own problems but I never made them anyone else's.

One part of the group of Catania supporters were fighting with police outside the stadium, others were watching the game, but when result wasn't in their favour they started to fight with police inside the stadium and throwing thorches to the field. From there it all went downhill. There are hundreds of wounded inside and outside the stadium, hospitals in Catania are in emergency.
IT'S INSANE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING!

Oh....you're such a tough guy.....
Anyway...from now on I will simply ignore your comments....

 

This is really bad   

The FIGC should send their @sses back to Serie B. Maybe this will send out a big enough message

They should try to do the same thing as they did in England. People should go to jail.

I will be pretty hard trying to find out who killed him and the ones that where making the most trouble.

Whatever they do, serious action needs to be taken

Respect is one thing, making everyone else miserable is another! What happened all the other times someone CLOSE to Milan died? 1 minute silence at the most!

Players urge year-long suspension Friday 2 February, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Players’ Association has urged the suspension of Italian football Leagues for a whole year after the latest tragic incidents.

“Football should stop for a year to reflect on all the evil that comes from it. The culture that surrounds our sport is wrong and has to be revolutionised. We need patience for that to happen and maybe passing on to another generation,” said AIC President Sergio Campana.


The FIGC called a halt to all Serie A, B, C and Youth Championship games this weekend after the riots that marred the Sicilian derby.


A 38-year-old policeman was killed in the battles with Catania supporters following Palermo’s 2-1 victory at the Stadio Massimino.


At the moment it is unclear when the fixture list will resume, but the Players Association is urging for a definitive stance.


“I think that faced with these events, football should stop for a year and see if we can change our whole approach to sport,” continued Campana.


“We have for some time been pointing out that there are weekly attacks on players because they lose a game. This means the very culture of sport in this country is wrong. Right when football is trying to rediscover its credibility after Calciopoli, this sort of thing leaves us dumbfounded.”


The last time Serie A ground to a halt over fan violence was on February 5, 1995, when Genoa supporter Vincenzo Spagnolo was stabbed to death ahead of a match against Milan.


“The death of a policeman in Catania and the many injuries as a result of this riot is a disturbing turn of events that calls for drastic measures,” said Minister for Sport Giovanna Melandri.


“The Government will no longer tolerate the need for thousands of police officers in every match to ensure the safety of its citizens. Along with the Home Office Minister Giuliano Amato, we consider the suspension of the next round of games to be an opportune decision by the FIGC.


“The Government and the world of sport must come together now to make sure the Leagues begin again in a totally different way.”


The Sicilian derby was the final straw in a situation that has been growing in the peninsula.


In March 2004 the Rome derby was abandoned at half-time after reports – which later proved to be false – suggested a child had been run over and killed by a police van outside the Stadio Olimpico. This claim prompted extreme tension and riots.


The most tragic incident was only last week, when Sammartinese director Ermanno Licursi died from a brain haemorrhage when a fight broke out between opposition players in the Calabrian amateur League. It emerged he had been kicked in the head.

I'm surprised. I read in many forums the same topic, and you're the only one who thinks about (a)lost calcioweek(s).
say, how old are you?
I think people wouldn't enjoy football this week anyway.
