Hooliganism
What is hooliganisme?
A hooligan is a person who are a ultimate
fan. Many football clubs have hooligans who are very brutal. Hooligans are
similar to bullies and thugs. People who start a fight during a sports event
are acting like hooligans. In fact, this word is used often for people who
start fights at soccer matches. Often hooligans are gang members or criminals.
If you see a group of hooligans, it’s probably a good idea to avoid them.
Polish hooligans In Poland the main manifestation of
hooliganism is so-called football hooliganism. Football hooligans are fans of
different football clubs who come to a match only to fight with fans of other
clubs. In Poland there are very aggressive supporters of both famous clubs e.g.
Lech Poznań, Lechia Gdańsk, Legia Warszawa, and clubs from small towns such as
Przełom Besko, Brzozovia Brzozów and Iskra Przysietnica.
Sometimes they fight
on the day of the match but they rarely organize arranged fights which take
place in a totally unfamiliar area, mostly in the forest or a glade, far from
houses. More often than not they take along a cosh and a baseball bat, hurl insults at
referees and contestants of the opposing team. After matches football hooligans
sometimes come to the city centre and demolish shop windows, knock over bins,
break benches in the park, accost bystanders, mostly elderly people. Intense
aggression, incomprehension and intolerance become apparent in football
hooligans’ behaviour. The most terrible is the fact that the underage become
football hooligans too. Football hooligans are often under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. During
matches in Brzozów special fan zones are allocated for supporters of the
opposing teams. Although these zones are enclosed with a net, fans of Brzozovia
sometimes come closer to the zones and provoke unpleasant clashes. Many
participants of such arranged fights and clashes end up in hospital.
Unfortunately, ordinary inhabitants get injured too, even though they have no
underworld connections. Hooligan fans of Brzozovia Brzozów mainly fight with
hooligan fans of Iskra Przysietnica and Karpaty Krosno. The police strive to counteract the activity of football
hooligans, yet the number of fans is getting bigger and bigger and they pose a
serious threat to their own and other people’s health.
Danish “Roligans”
- What is roligans Roligan
is the name of a danish “hooligan”. Roligans means that you are a big supporter of
a club and you will support them on the field, but you don't go out after a match
and fight against the other team's fans.
- Danish
hooligan firms But
just because some of the supporters are “roligans” There is still lots of hooligans, we have 6 big firms in Denmark.
There is Copenhagen Casuals, who supports FC Copenhagen, South side united, who
supports Brøndby IF, White Pride,
who supports Aarhus GF, Blue Army, who supports Lyngby BK, AaB Ultras, who
supports Aalborg BK and Odense Casuals, who supports Odense BK.
- White pride White pride was a hooligan firm in Aarhus Denmark. They were
supporting the city club AGF. Besides that they were racists and nazits and
suported Adolf Hitler, with fx. hang a banner up under a match where there were
written “Congrats 18”
Which means congrats Adolf Hitler.
Today there is almost nothing of white pride
back, because the club, AGF, have taken distance to the racism, nazism and the
violence.
