| Three Middlesbrough fans have been stabbed and injured after trouble erupted in Rome before the club's Uefa Cup clash with Roma. Several other fans were also injured as a group of visiting supporters were attacked in the Italian capital on Tuesday night. The stabbed fans were taken to hospital for treatment and it is not yet known how serious the injuries are. Middlesbrough chief executive Keith Lamb confirmed there had been violent clashes between both sets of fans "There was an incident in one of the bars in a square in Rome," Lamb told Radio Five Live. "Some Boro fans were drinking in a bar and the bar was attacked by some Roma fans. "A number of Boro fans have been injured - a small number - and taken to hospital and received medical treatment. "As far as I'm aware everybody is okay now, although one was retained in hospital but is in a stable condition." The incident has cast a massive shadow over Wednesday's tie at the Stadio Olimpico with both clubs hoping for no more unsavoury incidents. AAP |

ROMA FTW
dont find that funny at all, imagine it's you going to a game and gettin in that kind of clinch
Maybe it's about time roma was banned from european competition for a while, at least till their fans learn how to behave (could be a long time). They really are an embarrasment the roma and lazio fans.

English fans are stabbed in Rome Campo de Fiori The Campo de Fiori is a popular area with British tourists Three Middlesbrough fans were stabbed ahead of the club's Uefa Cup clash against AS Roma in the Italian capital. Cleveland Police said the attack came from an "organised gang of Italian thugs" who targeted two bars where the English fans were drinking. The violence happened late on Tuesday as about 200 English fans gathered in Rome's central Campo de Fiori area. British Embassy officials said in all 15 UK fans required hospital treatment for a variety of wounds. A 39-year-old man who was with his 11-year-old son, underwent surgery in Rome overnight and remains in hospital for observation. An 18-year-old was also treated in hospital and was expected to be released on Wednesday. A spokesman for the British Embassy in Rome said five Italians were being held by local police. These people were carrying sticks, they had axes, we later discovered they had knives, they had firecrackers and paper firebombs Supt Steve Swales, Cleveland Police Italian officers with batons were brought in to break up the violence. A spokesman for Cleveland Police, who have officers with Boro fans in Italy, said at one point a lighted flare was thrown into a bar where Middlesbrough fans, some in family groups, were drinking. He said most English fans fled for safety, but some retaliated and tables and chairs were thrown as the violence worsened. The spokesman said the injured supporters were aged between 16 and 55. Supt Steve Swales, Cleveland Police's commander on the Italian trip, appealed for calm ahead of Wednesday's second-leg tie at the Olympic Stadium. He said: "People back in the UK will be listening to this and watching this during the course of the day. If they are in contact with relatives over here, we would appeal for calm. "I am appealing for the Middlesbrough people just to take this in their stride, let us and let the Italian authorities deal with the matter. "A group in excess of 30 Italian youths, described as Italian Ultras, came into the square. They were a clearly well-organised group. "They had an identified leader at their head - a gentleman who has been described to me as wearing a silver or shiny fireman's-type helmet and a bandana across his face with only his eyes visible. "These people were carrying sticks, they had axes, we later discovered they had knives, they had firecrackers and paper firebombs. "The vast majority of the Middlesbrough supporters who were there are what we would describe as good, normal, shirt-wearing supporters of Middlesbrough, not hooligans, not people known for trouble. "A lot of them were family groups with younger children, some with their wives." Fans warned Boro fan John Donovan was in the square when the attack happened. He said: "It was out of the blue and a premeditated attack. "It was just a case of getting out of there and making yourself as safe as possible." A group of extremist Roma fans, known as Ultras, are being blamed for the attack. Reports said they were led by a man wielding an axe. The travelling fans had been warned of possible trouble before they set off for Italy after the club received a detailed briefing from police. A Boro fan was killed in Amsterdam last year when the club travelled to AZ Alkmaar and there has also been trouble in Ostrava and Zurich. Brendan O'Connor, 36, of London, had joined friends to travel to Holland where his team were playing Dutch side AZ Alkmaar in November. |
roma should be banned from all UEFA competitions for 5 years what a fuckin' disgrace

Lets face it nothing happened when those Leeds United fans got stabbed (and died) in Turkey a few years ago, so fuck all is gunna happen here.
FIFA are too interested in changing the smaller things like altering rules to the game than tackling the bigger things like racism and such.
or maybe its just the brits?
hardly suprising there was trouble in holland. Dutch fans are notorious for being scum aswell as the italians.
I doubt the english were majorily at fault. Alot of people are implying the boro fans started in? Handy the way the Roma and AZ fans were carrying knifes to stop these attacks isnt it..
Anyone who carries a knife is looking for trouble, they were hardly provoked into it.
There are scum fans everywhere, and the english used to be the most violent but have now settled. True theres always gonna be some idiots out there and those sort of people should be punished. FIFA need to stop thinking of money and figure out a way to stop fans ruining the world game!
i read somewhere that fascist hooligan organizations are planning a "revange" against the turkish fans this world cup.
Turkish fans are probably the most violent fans in the world.
I don't want to imagine what is going to happen if Greece play against Turkey again ...true war. 
Rivality:
Serbia & Montenegro vs. Bosnia and Herzegovina
Serbia & Montenegro vs. Croatia
Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Croatia
FYR Macedonia vs. Albania
Serbia & Montenegro vs. Albania
These are some of the worst scenarios on Balkan, and I can tell you that these supporters/fans are very dangerous. Worst meeting would probably be the three first I guess even though Macedonia vs. Albania would be dramatic and people would be killed for sure, a lot albanians live in Macedonia where they can't stand each other. Serbia & Montenegro vs. Albania, well, Do I even have to take that up after the Kosovo-war? 
But yes, I agree on Turkey vs. Greece = Always War.
oh noes, we dumped them out of the uefa cup.
Hmmm strange. Another away boro match and more trouble leaving a steward with serious head injuries.

scum.
Ostrava - Nothing happened
Zurich - Boro fans sat in bars got attacked
Alkmaar - Not football related, was to do with drugs.
Rome - Ultra's attacked Boro fans in Rome, then tried the same in the stadium
Basle - Doesnt help when they throw flares into the Boro fans in the stands.
It all comes down to the fact that alot of European hooligans and ultra groups want to fight against the English fans as it still seen as the true test, as we are seen as the home of Hooliganism, even though we are the place that has took the greatest measures to stamp it out and our grounds are now some of the safest in the world!
Reap what you sow - I never condone violence in any way shape or form but can understand why English fans are targeted after years of terrorising their european counterparts.This may have now abaited but for christ sakes , would the memory of marauding hooligans invading your towns not remain fresh , had it happened to you.?
