So its ok to kill a fan.. serie a goes on... bello... a cop dies the world comes to a stand still.. why is a policemans life worth more??? are we not all equal. Inter-Lazio cancelled... no decision on other matches. Fans fighting with police at th atalanta-milan match... there is always fighting at service stations between fans. Serie A should be stopped as fans will be fighting with police instead of watching the football. Im not looking forward to going to the stadium tonight now....

Why don't the so-called fans just stop fighting in the first place? I just don't understand the mentality . Someone calls the police (with guns) and you just know it's going to end in tears.

Apparently it was Juve fans from napoli involved. Traffic police shot the guy... from pictures on the tv he was in the car when he was shot. They are saying he was hot by accident.. not sure houw you accidently shoot someone. Cant believe they arent even having a minutes silence before the games.

why would traffic police need guns?
Although this is italy...

Even the Financial Police have guns in Italy (grey uniforms) . Maybe it's unsafe to check VAT receipts.

And what the hell's going on in Bergamo?

According to Sky the Roma game has been postponed also.

Roma game cancelled as there is already rioting at the stadium…. I was just about to go! Lazio fans have apparently gone there to fight the police. The main groups of the Curva Sud had planed not to go anyway out of respect... Seems there will be big trouble there tonight.

The guy was shot as they were already leaving the service station.. long after any fighting took place. The policeman says he shot into the air...mmmm...

You should see what they did at Atalanta! they destroyed the stadium. Guess how many they arrested?! ZERO! Some things never change.

The whole situation is very messy from what I've seen and heard. Without knowing the full facts of this story I cannot comment too much, but if this was supposedly a small scuffle, why was a gun needed?

Kicking off big time here in rome.....ultras setting police cars/ buses on fire.. they tried to get into a police station (70 fans with their faces covered).

The guy was a DJ here in rome and was friends with many of the lazio players.. he was even the dj at one of the players birthday...

Luckily there is the break for the national team next week.. hopefully things will calm down but i doubt it. Im not looking forward to the next home game. [/b]

The police have all but admited they are at fault...he meant to fire into the air. just didnt do it high enough. just read that 400 ultras tried to get into another police station...Now they have started getting to the CONI offices at the Olimpico...

Lazio fans travelling from rome and juve fans travelling from naples met at a service station on the A1 and had a small fight (happens every weekend.. usually by appointment)... After the fight the lazio fans drove off at whcih point a traffic cop fired in to the air.. but not high enough.. not sure why he fired the gun as nothing was happenin at the time.There are now riots all over rome.. ultras going after the police.

I see. The Italian authorities need to get this violence sorted out. Maybe its because I'm a woman but I don't see why people can't just enjoy the football. I don't like Celtic but I'm not going to fighting with anyone. I thought hooligism was so the 80s.
