Even as a sport fan be careful!

[Hirose UK]

Things like this among football fans happen in almost every country, this is clearly the umpteenth incident and what is even worse is that there are quite lot of cases where fights between football team supporters have resulted in large riots and resulted in several people losing their lives.
Incidents like this are actually very unfortunate because football is sport that is full of excitement when as fan can watch proud team compete live.
Not all football fans have this kind of behavior, but similar incidents still occur quite often in the current era.

We must be able to take care of ourselves and always be careful of anyone because truly fanatical supporter will do anything to other supporters that they feel they don't like.
Incidents like this really create negative sentiment among football fans and of course become the focus of various media reporting on them.
My advice is to always look for truly comfortable and safe place when watching football match in another region or in another country because no one knows the intentions and attitudes of other people who meet us in the stadium.

This is really saddening and at the same time disheartening and if caste isn’t taken, it will reduce the quest for people to travel to other countries for the sake of football and this is actually a wake up to every fan lover to stay very careful and extremely vigilant of their environment and not just when they travel to other countries as this can also happen to anyone and in any country when the show off is really more than expected, it might turn offensive and something bad might happen and that’s why it is always advisable to stay extremely careful when jubilations and celebrations as you might not know who you’re offending.

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.

Football is one of the sports where they have blind supporters who hate everything that relates to their opponent, I have seen so many incidents like this, like riots, stabbings, and mauling from people coming from the country that beat their favorite team, I agree with your suggestion if you're a tourist or a visitor you should know your limitation and get to know the people on the place you're visiting.
Get updates on police warnings and locations where tourists are restricted.

[moneystery]

i'm also concerned about what the two supporters experienced. but this is a problem that might occur when watching a football match, because we don't know what other people are bringing and what they will do to other people. in my opinion, just being careful is not enough, but that is the important role of stakeholders from match organizers to be able to sterilize the stadium area and outside the stadium from sharp objects or other objects which could potentially threaten someone's life. so that incidents like this can be avoided and people can be more comfortable and not have to worry about their personal safety.

[Plaguedeath]

Who knows? This is a psychological thing; weaken the morale of your opponent and there is nothing much they can do in terms of defense and the game yesterday spoke volumes. It was as if Brighton knew that to score a goal will bring about chaos and had to play like they were inexperienced. What are the local authorities doing about this and is there no way the victims can file a report?
 You're right, fans need to be careful when going on things like this but then again it's not as if they know the area is not safe and they still go ahead all in the name of sportsmanship, besides there were more people who went for the game, it's just too unfortunate that they had to be victims. I pray for their speedy recovery, though.

Yep, Brighton played very poor today, the criminals probably happy because their effort gives a result, or they could be a paid criminal. This is really bad for Brighton, I don't see any chance for them to make a comeback.

The victims should need to focus to recover themselves, but I believe someone behalf of them already make a report, not sure if the police have caught the criminals or not yet. Correct, it's just unfortunate.

The report didn't say the visitors were showy like putting on their club jerseys and chanting their club songs. The information is sketchy and it's not certain if the attack was football related. According to the report, the attackers wore masks, meaning they were prepared. IMO, a fight couldn't have sprang up as a result of a disagreement between the rival fans. I think the attackers wanted to make a statement or they were just thieves as the personal belongings of the visitors were also stolen.

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. Although no report that I have read to the cause but only that it happened in a restaurant, they seem to be okay.

The activites around football games and fans creates more funfair and razzmatazz but when it becomes violent then it will discourage gentle fans to travel for such fun. For me I like watching the game but where it becomes violent and endangering life, it is discouraging

Discouraging to the fact that you had fans of a club at your home ground, you chose to welcome them wrongly by stabbing some of them, forgetting that your team and fans would someday come to this people's home ground that you all treated wrongly.

Football games are supposed to be fun and enjoying but some fans are taking it too personally of them to showcase a hateful attitude that if you don't support the team that they are fans too, you have no courage to talk bad against the team they are fan too

Lets not generalized just that because someone stabbed then it would be not already a good place to visit on. Of course it would really be basing up on how many times it did happen and if its already that rampant then it would really be that common sense that you would really be needing to avoid on going into that place but if not then having fun and going into other places isnt really that a bad idea.
Its true that the fun that you would really be able to experience on the time that you do go into those venues or places is that on totally different when you do watch it on your pc screen.

This is why you could really be able to see those fans or bettors who would really be going into those venues just to have that kind of experiencing the real essence that you are on the actual
game on which it isnt really just that because you are betting but also you are showing some support into the team that you are looking forward into.

The situation when you are at the stadium watching live the match of your favorite team will be very different from when you choose to watch at home through the broadcast, in terms of excitement, excitement and excitement obviously it will be more pronounced when you watch live but for the problem of risk is also different which is where there are possible risks that will never even be expected when you watch live, and I think cases like the one discussed by the OP are not uncommon in some parts of the world, there are always victims after the match takes place and that's because they taunt each other and make fun of the opposing team.

As you said, it is true that it is a high pressure situation between the two camps of supporters that in the end there are some of them who are desperate to hurt each other and end up causing many victims. I think a situation like this is very difficult to control because it affects thousands of supporters, and obviously the solution is that we have to take care of ourselves by always being kind wherever we are, or if you really want to avoid bad possibilities like that, maybe the choice is that you are better off watching at home via broadcast.

This is why there are really people who are really that tend to go into stadium or any event place just because they do want to feel up the vibe and it is really that in different ambiance if you are with that the crowd.
This isnt something that you could really be able to experience when you are playing or watching in your own home. This is why even some people do know about the risks involved when it comes to this but still they dont bother. We cant really be able to make out that kind of generalization in all places to be something like this. Its not bad to have some fun without having those kind of doubts and having that kind of control when it comes to actions. The most important part that you do really need to consider out on your actions which it could trigger those possible aggression on which this is something that should be avoided.

Exactly, you have said the biggest reason why people prefer to watch live at the stadium, even though it requires you to spend a sum of money that may not be small for the need to buy tickets or for other needs while you are there, when in fact there are other options that are not troublesome, namely by watching the match at home via broadcast, but this is the difference and you have said the truth that indeed we will feel a very different atmosphere when we are in a crowd of people who support each other's team by singing various slogans and that is indeed exciting.

While when you just watch at home then there will not be too exhilarating chemistry that you feel and maybe you just smile without any lively excitement like when you watch it live at the stadium. Honestly a few years ago in my place also happened bad things like the case mentioned by the OP when the local team that has been an enemy for a long time competed and in the end the situation became so hot and uncontrollable that the match was not even continued and the incident sacrificed dozens of supporters died, but yes, people have never been kapok to watch live. So the point is that what becomes a problem or what can trigger problems is when you are unable to control yourself which can have fatal consequences, if you want to stay safe then you must realize that watching live matches is nothing more than an entertainment event from the excitement of the atmosphere, your goal is only there for entertainment as well as supporting the team of pride and not to trigger possible problems.

Woah, talk about some crazy stuff. You just never know these days you've got to be careful out there. Especially in a foreign country and if you are with your friends - drinking- etc etc things could get ugly and fast. What an unfortunate occurance. At the same time if you're on an opposing teams turn you better make sure you act accordingly, there are so many drunk idiots out there that do some really stupid shit, lol.

[SeaCoinCollector.]

It's sad to hear what happened to those Brighton fans in Rome. I may not be a sports fan, but it's important to be cautious and responsible when traveling to watch in foreign countries. Avoid showing off, prioritize safety, beware of surroundings and local laws, and respect customs to avoid getting into trouble and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Bro this football it can get far personal than you think especially when emotions have gotten in and we cant say for sure the actions of the Brighton fans or what they did to result to such actions from the Roma fans, this kind of stuff happens all the times in street football, it often results to fighting but not up to that extent, the only thing that I'm concerned about is that they forget to take their security seriously for themselves.

I think they are just thieves.
I mean, it's good to have an opponent cheering but it should not go as far as hurting them and stealing their possession. This is just madness and I think they are not as sporty as their team. It's nice to see fans cheering loudly for their preferred team but still, that should end with that.
The security too needs to be more strict about this kind of thing. Other sport kicks out the person who does this and worse, they ban them from entering the premises again. I think the announcer needs to keep reminding their fans about it. In basketball, we see different fans visiting the homecourt of the opponent or some do live in that state or city but they prefer the other team, just like in football. So security should expect this to happen and they must prevent it as early as possible. Maybe if they know something is getting heated in one spot, they should start going there to monitor it. Just so they know there are eyes watching them.

Well, unfortunately this is something that we are always going to see in all our games, what surprises me is that in Europe there are these types of people, that personally I see European fans as more civil than any other part of the world, but Of course this is something that not everyone is equal in a society, in every society there are always people who will actually stand out but on the bad side, it is very unfortunate that there is violence thanks to a sport, if this had happened in my country they would sanction the stadium and They sanction the team, either to remove points or suspend the team for a few games, because this is a behavior that should not be allowed, I understand the adrenaline, but fighting among themselves is not going to make the team win or change the situation. marker, violence will never be the right way to do things.

In a local game where I live, I had to go to the brava bar, to South and my team lost, so they were on fire and one of them got the idea that they had to go burn the other team's fans, at that moment I went into action and told them that if they were crazy, or if they were Indians, or if they had fallen asleep, what's wrong with them, they are people, they are human beings, and besides, they are families with children, what's wrong with them, try to burn to people so that they would put them in prison later, fortunately things turned out well and they did nothing, but there were many of them with that idea, fortunately they did not turn against me, because there were like 20 crazy people, I would not have had the opportunity to defend myself.

It might or might not have a connection with them being fans of Brighton and the attackers being fans of the opposite team, however, it proves that Rome isn't a safe country for travellers and tourists if such things can happen. That being said, I would also say that one doesn't need to show what side they are supporting if they know they are supporting the away team and the stadium is full of home fans which could create issues.

Even if you are there to support your team, you don't need to say it out loud or be too expressive about it, just enjoy the game, be happy or sad based on what happens in the game but just keep it to yourself for your personal safety in case home fans aren't very friendly by nature.

[Crypto Library]

It has been a very distressing event indeed. I will also agree with you that before leaving our country to support our team or any other team in another country, we need to think about security, especially first of all, we need to see how peaceful the area is, like Africa or areas where I think you should never go to see the game at your own risk in the country where the terrorist hangout. And besides, there is no guarantee that we will be safe if it is a peaceful region, as this topic of yours is telling.
I am actually not encouraging you to go to watch sports in a foreign country, because if you do not control your behavior in your own country, then such incidents can happen from your quarrels or fights with any people. So, first of all, I would say that if you go somewhere else, you should refrain from extra show off.

I believe all those fans have reason why they carry out such behavior because, if truly they are the fans of Brighton they would have not put such a thing on social media for other fans to see what they did during the game.

Life doesn't have duplicate and, once something bad happen to you, the people that are close to you will be the one to feel  it past, so fans need to be very careful for the long distance to go and support a particular team because if anything happen to you the team will not know that something happen to their fans.

Totally out of their concern if you do ask me as if these things could really totally happen inside or outside stadiums due to those kind of conflicts in between opposing fans but actually there's no point on having these kind of incident considering that we are really just that free on who we would really be that cheering up into or supporting. For people who do love to go into other places just to show support and have some fun then it isnt really that wrong but make it sure that your level of actions isnt something that could provoke out someones aggressiveness. Im not saying that you shouldnt really be having those reactions but everything should really be in control or something that in moderate manner.

We dont know about on the things that on their mind specially if there's something that do really turns out to be opposing on what they do like and your actions getting in line
that becomes that irritable to them then its likely that it would really be creating conflicts and incidents such as this.

[EarnOnVictor]

I do not blame the sport or the ardent fans but the evil perpetrator and the lapses in the security of the stadium. The heart of an average man is wickedly wicked, this is bad, why would you harm others just because of football? This is preposterous. Just like freedom of speech is our right, the right to support any team is equally our right and should not be taken from us by the bad heads in society. I pray those useless perpetrators of the evil act rot in jail.

But your advice is best fitting for evil people and those who cannot control their feelings simply because of football, and not the people rejoicing as this will never stop. I do not see what those guys they stabbed did that has not been done before in football, so why the hate? For me, I will continue to encourage people to express themselves as they like and not fake anything because of anyone but let's all be security conscious. Whether we like it or not, there will always be division in football where one side will support team A and the other side will support team B, but never should we take it too personally, after all, it is just football.

This is very sad to hear, I always have this type of unrest feeling about foreign lands and that's because if something happens, they will judge you based on who you are, and if you are from another country you might be served with unfair justice, as I have heard about my people been treated in other countries and this Always makes me wonder if I will ever be able to live in other countries.

A place where you are raised is when known to you, even if the place has its disadvantages you are already used to it, but a different place is completely out of the picture, you have no idea what's waiting on the other side.

I am taking kickboxing classes for protection's sake, no where is actually safe and we need to always be ready for the unexpected, just because it's peaceful around you doesn't mean that you can't get hurt at any time, learn to protect yourself if you can or stay away from crowd places.

I am a football fan too to some extent but I don't always like going to watch a live match when its crowdy, I don't always like crowdy places because I always get discomfort easily, may their souls rest in perfect peace.
