Even as a sport fan be careful!

[alani123]

Not long ago a local fan of a football team was stabbed to death in Greece too. It's ridiculous what hooligans will do. They will be tough and cause a scene but will cry like babies in court and call their mom to testify how much of a cute little boy they are under the prospect of jail time. Being violent under the banned of a team is something shameful in sports. The players and the team owners should disavow such fans in the strongest terms possible. I really hope there can be a crackdown on violence in football fans one day.

They should be security conscious, observant and stay out of unnecessary banters that could lead them to troubles or death.

Staying together with the group of people who you all support the same team is another security strategy. Find and stay together with a group of supporters because staying alone can you put you at risk of being attacked if there are other opposing fans who are angered to that extent. If you would not like to be with other people who you all support the same team, then maintaining a neutral position by not putting on the team jersey of any of the teams, and then minding what you say can keep you safe.

Yes its true and this is something ideal on which you would definitely be that putting up yourself out on such harm if you do swarm into those people whom do support on the same team as you.
It would really be that impossible if you are just you and with your friend are the ones who are really that supporting the home opponent team on which it would really be that something strategic and something
that sensible that you should really be doing if you are really that in concern with your security on which i do see that it would really be that viable on doing so because having that kind of step
would really be might able to save up your life.

We dont know on when those bad intents could really be happening into your life. This is why as much as possible it would really be that best that you should really be avoiding it at all cost.
There's nothing wrong one making yourself that a bit paranoid when it comes to safety because this is something that we should really be prioritizing most of the time.
Having fun but at the same time you are minding about your safety.

I rather think that home fans should be more receptive and accommodating to their visitors, they should not take advantage of those who come to their soil to cheer their team up because they are few and can not over power the home crowd. If the 2 victims didn't taunt the italians things should be taking as fun.

I'm really disappointed to hear that, I thought the spirit of sportsmanship should be in circulation, but the misunderstanding that left those fans bloodied shouldn't have been approached with such dangerous emotions from the host fans. I was thinking that football have developed above street fights to demonstrate support for clubs of interest, instead a friendly argument that defeats  the supporter with lesser points to  exalt his team and ends in sharing a bottle or two as we do in my neighborhood.

I pray nothing bad happens to the guys as reports of them being in terrible conditions are not in circulation and I also hope appropriate authorities are working on bringing those behind this ugly incident to justice for attempting murder of visiting fans.

Fans should also be warned to observe the energy they're receiving whenever they're in a foreign land to determine their level of expression to avoid being victims of circumstances because not everybody you see on the road is normal.

Two Brighton supporters were stabbed in Rome last night ahead of tonight's Europa League round of 16 first leg tie against Roma.

Rumors says they were away supporters, and the showoff was immense. I feel there is a need that if a Fan goes on a vacation to watch a game in a foreign country. They should be security conscious, observant and stay out of unnecessary banters that could lead them to troubles or death. It a game for fun and merriment not something we should take too personally to heart to cause trouble.

There is more to this story that was covered up by the media. It's either there has been some beef between the supporters or the fans and things got out of hand. I mean two people were stabbed and the culprit wasn't caught by anything. If the game happens in the stadium, then there should be something like cctv camera somewhere around the stadium that must have capture the moment and whoever did this need to be brought to justice unless they want this to always happen often in stadiums.

It's so sad now that football that has been an entertaining for many years, racism and abuse has not stopped. This happens many times that Fifa always says nothing and be printing flags everywhere on Jersey of players for no to racism and yet this measures are not working. They should use some fans as scape goat but I forgot that they will lose revenue and that's their main target.

Hospitality is a cornerstone of true sportsmanship. Home fans should welcome visitors, fostering a celebration of the beautiful game – not resorting to intimidation or violence.  Think of it like inviting guests to your house; you wouldn't steal their hats or shove them around, right?

Taunting can certainly ignite tensions, but it shouldn't escalate to physical attacks. Football is about healthy competition between teams, not fans resorting to violence. It's like a friendly rivalry that turns into a street brawl – completely unnecessary.

Violence discourages participation from "gentle fans," those who simply want to enjoy the game in a safe environment. Imagine wanting to see your favorite team play, only to be met with aggression. Not exactly a recipe for a good time.

Football is one sport that brings people of diverse backgrounds, race and culture together.

They should be security conscious, observant and stay out of unnecessary banters that could lead them to troubles or death.

Football is one sport that brings people of diverse backgrounds, race and culture together. This oneness that exists between fans should not be among people who support thesame teams/clubs only but should be seen among everyone irrespective of who you support. Fans should learn to be more tolerant and accommodating, after all it is just a game and only one winner will be announced at the end.  A good supporter of sports should be able to act under control both during defeat and in celebration. I look forward to a situation where we do not need to feel unsafe around our opponents while celebrating or face unpleasant backlash when defeated, the love for good football should be appreciated. Though we support different teams, we are not enemies.

What I want to say in essence is that a farm of a football club or a fan of of any club should do not that some people does not take a football club as entertainment industry as we do but what then see is that it is a competition between one Football Club to another Football Club and that is why when they notice that you are not their fan they will began to attack you whenever they seems  you talking against their own club, so I do advice my people to argue of football club to people you have meet before or people you already know for long time, at least will take your argument as a joking matter compare to someone you have not know.

When it comes to hospitality then there are really races or countries on which arent really that something do have this kind in compared into those known hospitable countries and with this alone
then you could already assume those probabilities. Im not really generalizing but this would really be something that likely the case that would happen.

Taunting could really create that tension on which it is really that true and also we do know that even if you are going into a place on which its known to be that a good one
but we dont know on how human beings mind and brain do works specially if they've been able to see something that pokes out their emotion on which it would really be that might resulting into something like this.

If you are really that skeptical about security or something in correlated then it would be best that you should stayed home and dont tend to make yourself go into these venues.

Yep, there is that bad news. It cannot be denied that fans are something that has a big influence on football. Many similar cases occur in various matches, in various leagues. There are even many fanatical fans from certain clubs who have been sworn enemies for a long time. And incidents like this cannot be controlled.

We don't yet know who the perpetrators were, whether they were fans of the opposing team or not. However, the police are currently conducting an investigation. If this is proven, there may be sanctions or other things.

But apart from all that, fans have to be extra careful, especially when they visit an opponent's stadium. Fans are allowed, but you have to pay attention to safety, at least, stay with a group, or just keep wearing your attributes when you're at the stadium and don't be too flashy when you're outside.

In my country, there have been several incidents involving fans who even died as a result of being beaten by fanatical fans of their opponents, because they were wearing the attributes of their favorite team. Hopefully incidents like this will not happen again.

Being an overly passionate about sports fan can have a lot of negative consequences. Excessive dedication to a sports team might lead to neglecting other aspects of life, such as relationships, work, or personal well-being.
People should lean how to control their emotions in such situations, this could also happen in Gambling, when a gambler isn't able to control his emotions when he loses leading him to experience multiple feelings, this could also lead to addiction.

It is vital to strengthen the security system in stadiums especially when receiving foreign groups of fans. This reminds me of stadiums in my country, it is very unsafe there especially in the past years, things get so barbarian and aggressive there, many stories like this one happened in our stadiums because of the behavior of rival teams fans that get into fights, clashes and conflicts.
It is crucial to strike a balance between enjoying sports and maintaining a well rounded healthy lifestyle.

Currently, football is the most popular type of sport in the world. Many people flock to watch their favorite club's matches, and even though they have to spend a lot of money to get admission tickets, they will do it.

However, after an incident like this, it seems that football fans will think twice about having to watch live at the stadium, for the reason that for their own safety, they will prefer to watch it at home via television broadcasts. Mistakes made by these few people can be very detrimental to the football industry, and it is possible that a football match will take place without fans watching live in a stadium. and this is something that is very likely to happen for some time until things return to normal, and there are no longer any worries for football fans when they decide to watch directly at the stadium.

and what OP said is true, that football is just entertainment. Different choices are fine, but don't let it just be because of different choices of football clubs that it becomes a reason for us to be hostile towards each other, especially if we commit murder.

[boyptc]

This is not related to gambling but to the sports so I think this topic should be on the Off Topic section.

As a fan of the sports that we love, we need to check ourselves at all times when we attend these games. Because it's not always about you although we're free to express our support to our beloved team.

But when someone's get annoyed on how you deliver your support, you should see something that's coming to you as not everyone's head is calm.

[decodx]

This situation with the stabbings probably has little to do with typical fan behavior, even if overzealous.  Regardless, violence of any sort shouldn't be tolerated, whether it's on the streets or in the stands.  People ought to feel safe cheering their team and  those who resorted to knives deserve punishment; banning raucous supporters misses the point.  Security guards can only do so much.  This isn't about banter gone too far but about a few troublemakers taking things to an unacceptable level.  We need to hold those responsible accountable, not victim-blame.

[Churchillvv]

That's just it people should be careful of how they interact with each other especially when it comes to sporting activities.

I have heard so many stories of this nature even in my locality people keeps fighting themselves for the love of football clubs as a fan, it usually happens when two assumed reval clubs have a match and arguments begins to escalate to the extent of fighting.

Football or any other sport is meant to keep the people happy not for argument and fight people who leave there homes to watch football matches in other places should also be very vigilant and be self conscious and the homes should also learn to take things politely. 

[alastantiger]

Some people can be so heartless. This is fan extremism and must be discouraged in all forms. There is also the need for other fans to be aware that this type of things happen so that they all necessary caution.The club whose fan stabbed the other person should put out a strongly worded message condemning the act..This is going to change the face of fans love today's a club.

[angrybirdy]

This is very bad to hear. How can fans be stabbed all because they are not supporting their club in a country that is not theirs. I will not say that foreigners should be careful but the stabber should be known and be given the right punishment like to imprison him or her for years if the fans did not die or sentence him with capital punishment if any of the fans die.

Based on the article, this scenario seems like a typical fan issue, or maybe that person really has a secret anger and pretended to be a fan so he could carry out his stabbing plan. Whatever the reason, what he did was wrong because he only put himself in harm's way, and people who think of their fellow man like that, deserve to be imprisoned and given a proper punishment. It's a very shallow reason if you suddenly get stabbed just because the group you like isn't supported, right? So how did the stabbing material get in? Maybe they should be stricter on security checking because something like this still gets through.

[Justbillywitt]

Football is a game of passion and something we do to get bragging right. There is need for us to be careful that's for sure, but I will blame Roma fans for being violent to the point of stabbing the away fans. If the fans don't show support for their club I don't think football will be fun to watch. Uefa need to come up with strict rules against these clubs that can't control their fans. This is totally uncalled for and I won't blame Brighton fans for supporting their club. It is a very sad news and I hope the people that were stabbed, don't sustain a life threatening injuries.

[Orpichukwu]

This is very bad, and I hope they are able to capture those who did this. Are there supposed to be cameras all over that place, or because the match has not yet started, things are not functional yet?
 
People just have to be careful with the kind of people they get into arguments with because they don't know what kind of evil plans they might have for them; they just need an excuse to execute them.

Football, music, or any form of fan base that will result in an argument that will offend the other, I don't get involved with that. People are really heartless these days and can do crazy things that we don't think of.

[oktana]

You can’t blame them. Imagine traveling all that distance and your team actually wins, you will definitely celebrate. Fans cry when their team loses and the exact opposite when they win is what those guys may have expressed. I rather think the security authorities need to be more vigilant because it doesn’t make sense if fans can’t express their joy.

It’s good to know they aren’t dead and weren’t stabbed in places where could affect vital organs.
