Asking for all the games to be cancelled on Sunday is political manipulation. You can't start to compare the death of a policeman in the line of his duties policing a civil riot between opposing derby fans and the tragic (but seemingly) accidental death of a Lazio fan after a small skirmish in a car park. A huge question has to be raised as to why the traffic cop felt the need to fire warning shots anyway?But that is just bad policing and he will be punished. The Ultras have seen the chance to redress the balance after the tightening up of regulations following Raciti's death. Don't give me unemployment, low salaries or any other proto Marxist bullshit. I remember it surfacing in the 70's and 80's in this country, politicise all you like but pond life wanting kick/slash/terrorise other pond life is what it boils down to. If you want to topple your government mask up, head on to the streets with pick axes and molotovs and do your fighting there. DON'T GO DOWN TO THE STADIO ON A SUNDAY where parents take their children to see their heroes, where people at the end of the working week want to lose themeselves on a field of dreams and where passion that has been passed from generation to generation is shared and enjoyed.

Well said!!

Ditto. Said almost everything I wanted to say but didn't because I didn't want to be drawn into a useless argument ....good man.

Look Spagbelli, you can race for some elections with that kind of speech. But it is not about blah, blah, blah statements...kids, Sunday relax and similar crap, it is real life.

Man, fans want games to be stopped in order to pay tribute to innocent man killed and also to prevent some other tragedy...

Fans asked the same after policeman killing in Catania, for your information...

To redress the balance

Man, if ULTRA movement cant think about it...no leaders of fans are too stupid to think about such detailed approach

Do you really think that new regulations brought safety to stands

Yes, like calciopoli cleared soccer

Now there are great refs decisions week after week as your club will at the end send Moratti to be ref at Juve matches in order to take title

And also there are no fixed matches as end of last season showed

Man, man, man...dont talk about things you dont understand.

And yes, blackandblue, emoticon dont mean I will kill someone, it is just joke...

Man we are peaceful people in Italy, we lost every f**king war and just know how to make stupid marches and have big mouth...nothing else

Man, we are not masters of free world, we are just slaves, like Iraquies, my relatives in France, my friends on Balcans...

So emoticon dont mean nothing agressive by me...

Peace brothers

The killing of the policeman in Catania happened on a Friday evening, giving the authorities almost 24 hours to call off all other matches that weekend. The death of Sandri happended mid-morning on the Sunday giving the authorities much less time as many fans would have already left for the matches.

I totally appreciate what you are saying Drughi but, in the circumstances, I don't see how the authorities could have safely cancelled every match that afternoon.

I think they have made the right decision in cancelling all games this weekend as a mark of respect.

the incident happened at 9am... they just kept it quiet til after midday so they could have stopped the games. Dont know why they waited til 6pm to cancel the Roma game... i was just about to leave for the stadium.

Drughi I'm feeling your love fratello . . . . but no election speech here . . . just what I feel. I'm pleased they have cancelled games as a mark of respect this week and that players representing the azzurri at all levels will wear black armbands. The death of a fan is serious shit. Next the Ultras will be claiming that if it wasn't for their direct action on Sunday that decision wouldn't have been taken!!!

Atalanta chief blasts complacent clubs and Ultras arrested for rioting are released

Can people just go to a game and not fight, break plexiglass, try to get games called off thru violence, etc....

IT IS A GAME PEOPLE!!!

The innocent man, Drughi as it happens, was found with stones in his pockets, with his friends he was waiting in ambush to assault 5 Juventus supporters. Aside stones, knives and umbrellas were found carried by the Lazio fans.

Now the bullet that killed the 'saintly' Lazio individual, following in depth reconstruction, it appears to have ricoched off the ground.

Why did these 9 Lazio fans followed a Mercedes of 5 Juventus fans going in a different direction?

And that Totti turns up at the funeral...all Italian Ultras united in the 'gfrief'.

f**k OFF. .

They met at parking...and of course it was clash because in Mercedes there were ROMANS supporting Juve.

Still dont believe in police version...

I didnt say he was saint...but still there is no difference between ULTRA and police...still dont believe he was real ULTRA...some things which I wont argue pointing at other direction...

He just payed for nothing...

The Atalanta ultras handed out leaflets before the match with Napoli apologising to the city the fans and the player's for their actions against Milan
