The Italian Weekend
Italian football fans have reacted violently inside and
outside stadiums following the police shooting of a Lazio
supporter.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7090017.stm
It's funny how the police are saying it was a "Warning Shot"...Never heard of a warning shot aimed at a car before...But I guess, they had a right to be scared since that police officer got stabbed last year, trying to stop a fight.
Italian Football has always been full of controversy, from Corruption to hooligan fans.

Italian football to be suspended
In Italy the supportes can be called hooligans,
not all the (ULTRAS)thats theire name are violent,
only somes,for example(Atalanta,Catania,Lazio,)
The newspapers talk a lot off all the ultras but thats for
scandal notice,
I have been to games in Italy particarly at Fiorentina. Whilst
there is a bit more menance than in many countries in the main
people go to enjoy the football. There are some unhelpful
traditions and an unwillingness to forgive past events. The
associations of some clubs with fascism or communism for example.
Like much of Italian civil society the people who run the clubs are
rather shady by Australasian standards.The police often have a
totally negative attitude and this does not help - I was searched
and the top of my water bottle confiscated for heavens sake!
Shame because the actual quality of soccer is very good! Luca Tony was still at Fiorentina last time I was there and he was awesome as a striker.

Oh well, the Italians shall be taught a lesson this weekend (on and off the park).
