[Az.]

Those are great too, Jasper. Banners in insane local dialects are always a winner.

Coritiba supportes in the Paraná's derby, the same ones that riot and fight police in that Stadium just 4 months ago when the team was relegated. A good example of how passional an Ultra can be...

Salernitana's capo recently died of a heart attack. This is a video of his funeral, which was attended by around 2,500 ultras. Amazing stuff.



I want flares at my funeral!

I've seen similar videos from Korea before - mind-blowing. I think they're from high school matches. Terrifying, actually.

Sven, South American streamer displays are always great.

Any why do these morons always fight in the stands were everybody including the police gets to see?Are they that stupid ?

That reminds me of a documentary that must have been aired more than seven years ago. The BBC did a number of shows about the world's biggest football rivalries.

Their focus in Italy was on Lazio's Irriducibili. I'm not sure it's the whole show, although there are three parts that amount to 20 minutes.

And I was watching it saying - crap since club payed for it like in Barca. Guess, I was wrong.

Aye, I was thinking exactly the same. But since they payed for it themselves, good effort, Germans.

A lot has being written about the growing "politicization" of Ultras in Europe, but this is really one of the most extreme cases I've seem:

http://euromaidanpr.wordpress.com/2014/01/27/ultras-of-ukraine-safeguarding-the-eurorevolution/

Basically every big Ultra group in Ukraine joined the "revolutionary forces" of Maidan. That's no surprise for the western teams or say Dynamo (club as a whole joined it since day one) but even the teams of the Russian speaking regions of Ukraine and even Shakhtar fans (Donetsk is basically the cradle and fortress of the current President and his party) joined it.

Some of them are still not pro-UE though. The reasons they joined are basically they got feed up with government practice of paying ultras to serve as their cannon fodder (they call those titushki) in manifestations + hate of the government and police violence of the last month.

I just think Ultras and people of that sort kind of like things like this. Nothing like a little anarchy to smash up windows and burn things.

No, I think they're taking a political stand.

From the protests I've seem, there's very little anarchy. Protests are quite disciplined on their goal only and you don't see much sacking and random violence around. It's political aimed. Ultras basically stand between protesters and police.

Maybe it's not easy to see, but Ultras have a "code of honor". Their violence is also not random (though it very often gets out of control ).

Good docu about Ukraine(2010) through football and ordinary people

thats a old stereotype of ultras imo

apart from the biggest extremists like lazio ultras or some smaller groups mainly from eastern europe the physical violence has drastically dropped over the years. nowadays whatever ultras do gets quickly tied to the club they support and the club has to pay for it

i know i few fans from my local club that organize the group and every since cameras have been all over the place they changed alot. not saying they completely dropped the anarchist mentality thoe u can easily see its diminishing

half a decade ago or more the same people would be bragging about smashing fences or something similar. TBF since then we got a new stadium that aint worth trashing

thanks, gonna watch it later.

Yulia actually can be released just by a presidential signature changing the "abuse of power" law that had no basis other than jailing her in first place... That's how lousy their judiciary is (won't doubt Yanuk will put that in the bargain bin as he fight for survival now).

I agree. I also have seen a growing political tone overall (how valid/justified what they say is another discussion), looking beyond their own clubs to football in general.

Thing is they're becoming aware that the idea of football administrative people in most clubs and federations is a change of culture in football. And part of that change mean to kick Ultras out of football, directly or indirectly by prices/controlling behavior. So they go from adopt the "against modern football" stances to try to fit in.

That next step into going straight to political action I think is still exception though. Ukraine is so boiling that everyone must be taking part.
