It appears England/Europe do not have a monopoly on soccer yobs. [IsraelTimes] The Tel Aviv soccer derby between Maccabi and Hapoel is delayed by at least half an hour amid crowd trouble and arrests over fans stockpiling weapons.Police say 70 Hapoel Tel Aviv fans are detained for questioning after officers uncover a store of fire bombs, flares and iron bars that the fans planned to use in confrontations with their rivals. Amid heightened security, long lines form at the entrance to Tel Aviv’s Bloomfield Stadium and some fans try to break through the turnstiles. Police could be seen using mounted officers and batons on fans trying to get in. Clashes also break out between rival fans outside the stadium. There are no immediate reports of casualties. |

| #2 From the headline, I was expecting RPG's. During the reign of the Gaddafi, the was a story about one of his sons playing on a soccer team. Bodyguards of course. At one match, after a bad play, the crowd began booing and throwing things. The bodyguards fired into the crowd. The crowd returned fire. The match was called. (I wondered if I should start watching soccer, maybe I been missing something.) |
