((HT: Serie A/youtube))
This time it was in the Atalanta-AC Milan match and the target were Milan's Nigel de Jong and Kevin Constant...
No word on if de Jong actually ate the banana like Dani Alves did in la Liga, but this is just amazing stupidity on the fans in the Serie A.
UEFA is more concerned about having teams paying huge fines for Financial Fair Play, but the fines for acts like this are infinitessimal by comparison...
Ridiculous, but not surprising...

Russian Premier Game Abandoned, Fan Takes Swing At Captain
((HT: The Score/HQ Football240))
Here's a good way to get a match abandoned- a court storming
In the 88th minute, fans from Zenit St. Petersburg came onto the pitch with their team trailing Dynamo Moscow 4-2
And the long version
Watch one of the Zenit ultras (the shirtless guy wearing the black gloves) try to take a swing at Dynamo captain Vladimir Granat
Andre Villas-Boas is in charge at Zenit, but apparently that's only on the pitch. And their title coronation imploded thanks to their own fans. The team is one point ahead of the Russian Premier table with two games left.

This Is How Rivalries In Soccer Can Get Out Of Control
Turkish league...
Fenerbahce and Tranzonspor...
Just watch...
)
The match hosted by Trabzonspor was stopped twice in the first half after home fans threw stuff onto the pitch- including a door handle.
CNN-Turk television reported clashes between police and fans after the match was postponed.

Classy folks...
No word on a make-up date and whether or not the stadium will be empty when it happens...

Stay Classy, Soccer Fan... Marcelo Told He's A Monkey...
((HT: South American Football))
The Copa del Rey semifinals were yesterday in Spain...
Real Madrid had Cristiano Ronaldo before his three-match ban was to kick in during La Liga play, and they had an easy time with Atletico Madrid winning 3-0...
After the match, Real's Marcelo was cooling off on the pitch with his son when the Atletico fans started chanting toward him- claiming that he was a "monkey" and that they "hoped his father died.
Here's the chanting...
Really classy...
No word on whether or not the fans or Atletico themselves will be disciplined...

Italian Soccer Team Demoted For Faking Injuries
((HT: TGR/RaiSport))
First, some context...
This happened back in November... and, yes, the report is in Italian...
But the gist is this...
Nocerina's (a third-level squad- think Double 'A' baseball for comparison) players were afraid of their own "ultras" and didn't want to play in their "Derby of Hate" game against Salernitana...
Death threats were made to the Nocerina players and they weren't in the best of moods to play. And the ultras were hot that they were not allowed to see the match in the first place...
The game got so out of control through bad acting, yellow cards, and red cards that the game was pulled in the 21st minute...
And the analysis, also in Italian...
((HT: Sky Calcio))
The governing body for Italian soccer issued a statement in their decision to demote Nocerina for their decisions on that day two months ago:
"Nocerina have been excluded from the Lega Pro championship for sporting fraud and will be assigned by the Federal Council to one of the leagues' lower categories.
"The club has also been fined 10,000 euros. The decision comes into effect immediately and has been announced to the Lega Pro and its stakeholders."
Apparently, this derby isn't looked at fondly. The local media were the ones who looked at the game with the nickname above and:
From BBC Sport:
Salernitana's club president Claudio Lotito, who holds the same position at Serie A giants Lazio, compared the Salerno derby to forcing "Israelis to take on the Palestinians".
That's pleasant...

A Beautiful, Fiery, Silly Protest
((HT: wawasportpl/Dirty Tackle))
The HQ understands how, um, fired up soccer fans can get...
The folks at Legia Warsaw got slapped on the wrist as a result of their "ultras" (most vocal fans) racist displays in the pervious round against a Welsh side...
Racism against Welsh...??? Sounds difficult, but the ultras pulled it off and got a fine and an order by UEFA to close their north end- the place where they hang out...
The second leg of their match against Steaua Bucharest yielded this nose-thumbing, tongue-sticking-out en masse...
Here's the display...
UEFA decided that the ultras had engaged in "racist behavior" but did not get into any specifics...
So, yeah, take THAT UEFA...
The HQ can feel the impact from here...
