Euro 2012: Poland sports minister 'ashamed' as Polish and Russian hooligans cause violence on Warsaw streets

Poland's sports minister, Joanna Mucha, has revealed her "shame" at local hooligans who attempted to disrupt the European Championship by attacking rival Russia supporters before Tuesday night's kick-off.

Police in Warsaw have made over 183 arrests relating to clashes between Poland and Russia fans and expect to add to that number as investigations continue.

Co-hosts Poland drew 1-1 with their Group A rivals last night but the on-field action was accompanied by less savoury scenes in the city. Prior to the match, at the National Stadium, thousands of Russian fans marched on the capital's Poniatowski Bridge to mark Russia Day, considered a provocative gesture by some Poles whose nation was subjected to decades of rule by Moscow during the Cold War.

Flashpoints occurred there, as well as at the designated Fanzone in Plac Defilad Square, with reports of lesser disturbances during the match.
Police are understood to have deployed water canon and rubber bullets as part of their response.

Interior minister Jacek Cichocki, who was present with Mucha at a hastily-arranged news conference in Warsaw, said: "We were most worried about soccer thugs disrupting celebrations after game, but it didn’t happen," Cichocki said. "There were a few attempts, but police efforts and arrests prevented anything from happening."
A statement, released via the Polish police, read: "There are more than 183 hooligans caught by the police because of disorders in Warsaw - firstly during the march to National Stadion, secondly in the Fanzone in Plac Defilad Square.
"Among the kept persons there are fans of both teams - Russian and Polish.
"There are 10 persons, who are injured: 7 Polish, 2 Russians and 1 German - their lives are not in danger concerning the information from the medical services.
"The police operation is still lasting. The police officers are checking the surveillance system, police cameras and still (plan to) identify the hooligans who took part in the disorders. Further arrests are planned."
The number of related injuries is reported to have subsequently risen to 15.
Trouble flared despite an unprecedented security operation in the Polish capital, where authorities had been extensively trained in anti-riot operations prior to the tournament.
Yesterday's violence is is the latest blight on Euro 2012, which is being co-hosted by Ukraine, with Uefa already indicating they will launch investigations into allegations of racist chanting in games involving Spain and Italy, and Russia and the Czech Republic.
Prior to the tournament, some Dutch squad members complained of hearing racist abuse during a training session at Wisla Krakow's stadium.

some Dutch squad members complained of hearing racist abuse

The Dutch consider themselves a separate race?

What did the Poles call them? Tulip niggers?

No one can really complain. Everyone already knew what sort of countries poland and the ukraine, were like long before they actually got there.


This is a prime example of PC running wild. Ordinarily these countries would never be even considered to host a major sports event. They're both so fucked up that they had to share the hosting of the games.

Very true, mikgof.

The fact Poland is so glaringly a disgusting shithole tends to obscure the fact Ukraine is pretty fucked up too.

.

mikgof,

are you British?

and you say you have no hooligans in UK?

jeanV

hi froggy/Nazi wannabe asshole,

how is your progress in reading but still no understanding a shit?

does election of a foreigner mean an occupation to you, poor thing?

or did some good soul explain the difference at last?

What the fuck is it with soccer fans? Seriously, I don't get it.

Oh, hello martsy.

I'm terribly sorry. I realize just now you could have chanced to read this thread, and that my choice of vocabulary about Poland could hurt you.

It is an awful oversight on my part, and I am deeply ashamed. About as deeply as the Polish sports minister is ashamed of her citizens.



I am very surprised though. Why did you chose to deflect and refer to an other post about the history of that shithole Poland?

Why don't you have anything to say about football fans shouting racist insults in Polish stadiums as a matter of course?

Or about the fact Polish hooligans manage to remind the world Poland had been the country of Roman Catholic Polish kapos at Treblinka and Bergen-Belsen?



PS: Polish racism in stadiums is directed at blacks.

It should of course not be confused with the Polish widespread antisemitism, second only to Spain in Europe .

mikgof,

are you British?

and you say you have no hooligans in UK?

I didn't say that. This what I said

See! Not a mention of Hooligans or Britain. Perhaps I should have spelt it out. These countries are known to be predominately racist, bigoted and anti Semitic. Yes Britain has similar sub human types, but that is the point; they are considered sub human by all normal people. In both those countries those views are considered normal and are mainstream.

One news source claimed that the Dutch team members felt adressed, after Polish fans performed monkey chants:

A Dutch source, however, claims that it was the non-Dutch who were addressed:

jeanv, the Sharia-loving African Muslim rejected by France who hates Poland on account of anti-Semitism. Bizarre. Also hates the Berbers and Italians. Even more bizarre.

. . . . The height of hypocrisy! The shameless brits are the WORST examples of hooliganism in all of sport.

British football fans shout at policemen June 17, 2000 a few hours before the Euro 2000 match between England and Germany in Charleroi. Ranks of riot police used water cannons in an effort to prevent fighting between England and German fans massed on opposite sides of the main Charles II square.

Every Euro tournament in recent history has been beset by the thuggery of english fans.

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.....it is England that should be ashamed of its soccer history.

Russians got what they deserved. You don't see a bunch of pollacks marching in the streets of moscow celebrating poland day. Russians did it on purpose.

wo gives a fuck about racism? Christ, the money they are getting, These nigs in soccer moan about any little thing

Soccer is a game for children, african niggers and poverty stricken peasant faggots like jeanv who can't afford any gear. Soccer fans are infantile drunken peasant faggots like jeanv. "european" soccer players are 100% african niggers like jeanv and peasant faggots like jeanv. What's to figure out? Put a shitload of shitfaced subhuman peasants and niggers like jeanv in the same spot and you're bound to have trouble. It's a good thing that soon all european peasant faggots and african niggers like jeanv will be microchipped and tagged like the farm animals they love to have sex with. Otherwise the european authorities might have to stat putting subhumans like jeanv in concentration camps for clean extermination, and that would be unprecedented. It doesn't matter though since euro peons love to be arbitrarily imprisoned and murdered by elite intelligent authorities. It gives their lives purpose, knowing that those appointed to be their masters know what's the best execution method for them. In this way they are similar to chinks. The only real difference from chinks, is that niggers and eurotard peasants do indeed have souls; it's just that they are all going to hell.

"european" soccer players are 100% african niggers like jeanv and peasant faggots like jeanv

You realize that JeanV is 100% white, 100% heterosexual (married too, with child), and 100% loaded with money (he lives in Singapor for fuck's sake!)?

How do you know he's white? Why would somebody lie about being an African Muslim?

In conclusion, Euroland is a continent of soccer fags.

Why would somebody lie about being an African Muslim?

Because it's funny to see the biggots get enraged? Did you seriously believe he is an ox cart salesman from Ouagadougou? Jesus Christ!

Come on Breiz, he has white teeth, sort of. Well more like yellow. And his eyeballs... well pretty much the same.

Calling Jean a white man is giving him way too much credit!
