Football Hooligans!

English football was well known for its hooliganisms before, and until now it is still there to be exploded., but English authoritis have done a significant job in clamping down on the coward act over the last 10 years or so, and that not much such scene happened. UEFA acted by banning English clubs from Europe elite competitions for years. It took the English authorities to clean up the acts before ban is lifted due to these hooliganisms act by the so call passionate football fans.

Now the same scenario has turned to Italy, where we can hear football hooliganisms act or football fans rioting everywhere on and off, in some cases even lifes were claimed due to these rioting. Matches banned, cancelled, resheduled, played behind closed door etc. All these shows that footbal fans violent has turned into Italy nowadays, and yet UEFA has done nothing against them. Teams from country involving football voilence should be banned like English clubs suffered.

Whenever there's a football fan violence involving English teams, it's always the English fans' fault for causing the rioting at first instance before investigation being carryout, simply because of their history. All these are unfair to an English clubs, and from the few recent incidents it is clear that English fans were provoked by others, and even being attacked by rival's fans, yet blames always lie with English, just because they are English. It is so unfair to English fans

Few years back few Leeds Utd fans were stabbed and one were death. Man Utd fans were batton charged by Rome police even they were provoked by home fans, Middlesbrough fans were being attacked by Rome fans, and subsequently Rome police, and many more cases where English football fans were attacked during their away games. Nobody wanted to be hurt during their away trip, and certainly they just wanted to watch and support their team all they way, yet they were provoked and insufficient protection is given to those who travelled.

Hopefully UEFA will seriously look into these problems, and act appropriately to those who is suppose to be responsible for their act, not judge by the history of the clubs. If Italian teams were found guilty of such, they should be sanctioned and banned from UEFA competitions as punishment, where English clubs suffered. This will also stamp the authority that UEFA did take this seriously, and also before football voilence hamper the entertainment of football and damage the beautiful game's reputation as the widest followers' game on planet
