Spurs v Lazio Violence last night.

One attacker was a Roma fan, and there was an Italian chap on R4 earlier* saying that the suspicion over there is that it was far-right anti-semitism rather than anything really football related.

* Didn't catch who, but he was being interviewed rather than some sort of phone in, so some sort of spokesman for something or other I guess.
 
Would this 'unity in action' of Lazio and Roma hools be based on ideology Fed?

I thought it might be right-wingers attacking Spurs for their perceived Jewish asscociations.

It's possible, and it does make sense. In the book Football, Fandon and fascism, Todde, a Roma supporting fascist admitted if he saw a fascist Lazio fan attacked by another Romanista he'd help the laziale....

I've already asked a few mates over there the score, i'll see what they say. I'm in Rome in 2 weeks so might get a better 'view' then.
 
Just got a message from a friend with West Ham connections to say that three Englishmen were arrested as participants in the attack on the Spurs fans... The rumour is that they are ICF. No guesses where the inspiration for that connection came from...

Here's one they made earlier...

What have the Society of Black Lawyers said?
 
Heard that one of those badly injured is an Aberdeen lad who was with Spurs.

Dirty scummy bastards, this goes well beyond 'liberty taking' among football mobs... :mad:

"An assault on neo-Nazi"
Print indignant English

London (GB), November 23, 2012 La Gazzetta dello Sport

Harsh reactions in newspapers across the Channel after clashes with fans of Tottenham. And Rome became "the city of knives, the most dangerous in Europe."There is also talk of infiltration of the fans of Leeds and West Ham among the attackers. Critical work of the police​
Once upon a time Rome. Or how to destroy the image of the capital (and the whole of Italy) with an assault at a pub in Campo de 'Fiori as brutal as violent to send 11 people to the hospital (9 of which are British and one of them - Ashley Mills - severe enough to fear the worst, but at the San Camillo reassure the boy was out of danger) and to legitimize the strong reaction of the press across the Channel (never tender for the truth when it comes to chopsticks our country, but this time understandably and rightly so). So what was once known worldwide as the Eternal City has become the Times "the most dangerous city in Europe", while the Daily MailRome is even "the European football's Stab City" (basically, the city knives for European football), as previously also the fans of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Middlesbrough had them tested on their skin during a trip to Roman times.

The fascist salute Paolo Di Canio in the Daily Star​
DEFINITE TARGET - True, it happened against the supporters of the Rome and Lazio as it was the case yesterday for the unfortunate fans who were waiting for the Tottenham match of the Europa League at the Drunken Ship, but the shame remains the same. "Separate from football this attack is difficult because the pub has become a goal for Spurs fans were in it," reads the tabloids and the implicit reference is not too much to UEFA words (which has been taken distance themselves from what happened, explaining that "what happens outside the stadium is the responsibility of local authorities") and that of the Lazio president Claudio Lotito, who has denied the involvement of Lazio fans, revealing also that the commandos who stormed Drunken Ship there were three Englishmen.

INFILTRATION ENGLISH - Detail latter is confirmed by the Sun , where it speaks of hooligans West Ham and Leeds caught around Rome in the hours before the game and remember the close links between the two sides (both sworn enemies of the Spurs) and Lazio, although police have not confirmed the presence of foreign infiltrators and admitted instead of the only two arrested (so far) are Roma fans.
CRITICAL TO THE POLICE - But the police are not exempt from criticism, with the Guardian that questions about the responsibilities of police officers accused "of having done nothing to prevent the unjustified aggression" and the Times that gives manforte, bringing the stories of several compatriots on the scarce presence of agents in Campo de 'Fiori ("a patrol came after five minutes, but the other three have put at least 25 minutes to arrive on the scene").
NAZI ATTACK - On another point the island's newspapers agree in full: that is, the anti-Semitic attack on the fans of Tottenham, which would not be forgiven Jewish heritage. Not surprisingly, always the Sun speaks openly "neo-Nazi Assault," recalling the political sympathies of fans from Lazio to the far right, while the Daily Star is even worse, making the fascist salute on page 6 of the former Lazio (now manager of Swindon) Paolo Di Canio to North Bend in 2005 and recalling the record of Lazio fans in support of the Serbian war criminal, Arkan, and choirs praising Nazi Auschwitz just sung at the Spurs. "Why would a fan English should return to Rome to see a game?" Asks the Daily Mail closing comment.And for once, it's really hard to blame them, because it is really absurd to be afraid to go see a football game.

If West Ham and Leeds are connected with the Rome attack then then Sundays derby should be interesting for the knuckle draggers from both sides
 
English fans have been getting badly fucked over in Italy for as long as I can remember...back in 84 loads of English fans were attacked and stabbed at Roma V Liverpool European Cup final, one of the reasons fans went batshit crazy at Heysel the following year. Arsenal supporters were attacked when their team beat Roma on penalties in 2009, 14 Liverpool fans were stabbed when their side played in the Italian capital eight years ago, 16 Manchester United followers were stabbed in 2007, three Middlesbrough fans were knifed in 2006. The list goes on.
