In Italy Balotelli is hated not so much because he is black (although as said, it is often referred as Tisbo said), but because he's been behaving like a total twat.
Completely annoying even to most Inter supporters and sympathizers (like I am...).
when he moved to Uk many of us were really happy... and there he kep behaving like a complete moron destroying cars, starting useless fights, etc.
I totally can't stand him.
While I really like Cassano, who behaves like a moron as well, but at least he is extremely funny. recently he's been crucified for something he said about homsexuals that horrified PCs while it was evidently a joke and an outright answer to a silly provocation.
Looking forward for more terrace violence, I really want to see if the Poles and the Ukranians will honour their fame.
I don't know much about Eastern European hooliganism -except for the Ex-Yugoslavian groups that proved quite often what they can do- so I am expecting to be delighted.
Is anybody in the forum involved in any supporter group? any terrace tale?
I am not, had many friends who were part of the Como supporters, the drummer of my ex group Erode was a troublemaker and I have grown up listening to his tales.
The only time I found myself in these sort of troubles were when Livorno came to town and there were massive brawls everywhere in town.
They are impressive, organised like a political group, die hard left wing militants with red flags, etc. Como is the complete opposite on that front, so you can imagine.
