PostHeaderIcon Scottish Government Attempts to Stamp Out Sectarianism in Football

Those aware of the Scottish football scene will no doubt have come into contact with numerous stories about the hatred and violence that often erupts between Celtic and Rangers fans. One step away from a full-on religious war, fans of the two teams are infamous for clashing with each other both at matches and online.

However, the Scottish government are taking steps to remove the sectarian environment that has made supporting either team something of a risk. The bill aims to enforce a stricter stamping-down on those who subvert the friendly nature of football in favour of riots and violence on behalf of the Old Firm and their rivals.

Online communities are important to maintain, lest the ever-increasing number of people who socially engage on the web feel as though they have no safe place to display their fandom for a particular team. There are countless communities online for everyone, from those who play games and tournaments at http://www.partypoker.fr/; to those who enjoy talking about television and film.

There are many reasons why a calmer Rangers-Celtic fan relationship would be a good idea. For one, it promotes sports as something that encourages friendly rivalry rather than violence. Another reason is that it would certainly help the Glasgow football atmosphere, which is infamously dangerous and discourages some fans from even attending the games.

The Scottish government are clearly on the right track, and their efforts to try and defuse the angry tension between the fans of the two teams is much appreciated. Perhaps in the future we will even see a peaceful Rangers-Celtic match, regardless of who wins. But for now fans must do their part to act in a more civil manner, lest they face the wrath of a government that seems sick to the teeth of the addiction to violence displayed by the loyal football fans of both teams.

A refinement of cruelty. Bayern scored with the weapon of the Inter-cons the attack, when the European champions pushed the hardest to try to take advantage.

Mario Gomez, quiet until then pounced on a shot from Arjen Robben rejected by Julio Cesar to score the goal (90), his seventh in the competition, which puts Bayern in good position to clear the final loss to Madrid ( 2-0) against Inter Jose Mourinho. It must still be confirmed upon return to Bavaria, March 15.

Inter has not dropped his cup, but this third straight defeat at home against Bayern (1988 and 2006) hurts. The third disappointment of an Italian club at home in eighth-finals after AC Milan and AS Roma last week, hurts even more.

There is some truth in the words of Louis van Gaal. Coach Bavarian believed, despite the praise for the game of unbridled way Leonardo Inter (30 goals scored, 17 conceded in 13 games), the European champions were still playing “defensive” as last season. Indeed, Bayern has produced most of the game and Inter has operated mainly in counter attacks.

Upon arrival, Inter has created a few more chances, but lost.

Bayern hit a post and bar when Samuel Eto’o, unleashed, creating large gaps in the defense of Bavaria.

The Red and White were the first into action. Franck Ribery hit the crossbar with a header (24), Thomas Müller then fired into the clouds to six meters (29), then hit too softly a head after the recovery (47).

After the first few dribbles failures, the duo-Ribery Robben finally reformed (this was the third consecutive output of “Robbery”) having both been wounded, was the “the” for orchestrating the maneuver. French, suspended for the final was even cautioned for a tackle on Sneijder too involved (34). Robben struck his post (53) and above (59).

Inter also was threatening, but especially against or by the dictates of Eto’o.

Cameroon first took a walk (23) Holger Badstuber around and eventually serve Esteban Cambiasso, but from a tight angle, the Argentine has struggled with the young goalkeeper Thomas Kraft, 22, preferred to Hans-Jörg Butt, goalkeeper of the Madrid final.

In the central area, Eto’o still stumbling about Kraft, his fist (33). He was so tormented that van Gaal Badstuber chose to leave Pranjic Breno (38), replacing Badstuber at fullback left.

Eto’o again pierced the defense to hit on Bavaria Kraft, and Cambiasso, yet six feet, took up significantly above (57).

And Bayern scored on … cons-attack after a last charge interesting, including a head at close range Thiago Motta (85) still adorned by Kraft.

Thierry Henry

The Montreal Impact announced Monday that unique – for now – international friendly match to its schedule for the 2011 season. The season ticket holders will have the pleasant surprise to see this ticket included in their season pass.

Henry, good prince, said he was eager to be back in Montreal, even if he does not know much about the city or its football club.

“I’m really happy to participate in this friendly match and go for the first time in Montreal, said the former star of the team of France and Arsenal. I know that in general the French are welcomed to Montreal and I always heard good things about the city.

“I hope we can give a good show and I know that in this part of Canada, people love football, unless I have to say soccer,” he rightly noted.

Henry does not get tired of this also as an ambassador for the MLS which is almost all major international players who jump in first North American division.

“It is always important, but should not forget that the most important thing is that I can do on the field. I could not do me justice last year – I arrived in mid-season and I’m hurt. But it is with great pleasure that I am in Montreal. ”

Although this is the only “happening” of his season so far, the Impact has not seen fit to play this event at Olympic Stadium.

“There was never any question,” said Joey Saputo, president of the team. We wanted to play this game at Saputo Stadium. We believe that this match made in mid-May, it was important to stay in our stadium. We believe that we will have no trouble selling the approximately 13,000 seats and are comfortable presenting this game to us.

“That will be a nicer environment (at Saputo Stadium) that if we had introduced this game at Olympic Stadium.”

A star: not important

The visit of Thierry Henry in Montreal has revived the discussion on the need for an international superstar in the Impact for its passage in MLS. But Saputo is not a priority.

“I think that in Montreal, the important thing is to have a winning team, said team president. If it means making efforts to attract a major player, that’s what we do. But foremost, I think what we need to do is build the team by watching the players who are currently part of our training to see if they are willing to make the leap into MLS.

“If this is not the case, maybe we will evaluate the possibility of attracting a big star. We talk and it’s not something we dismiss out of hand if we believe that we need. ”

In addition to Henry and Mark, proponents of reviving the Impact goalkeeper Greg Sutton, holder of eleven colors Montreal from 2001 to 2006, Henry did not know what. He could count on President Saputo remind him live …

The Impact, who has six French players in its ranks (“I am not aware,” said Henry), will play one final season in the NASL before joining MLS in 2012.

The team left Montreal this weekend to continue its preparations in Arizona, where she will face the MLS clubs in Portland, Kansas City and Dallas. She will be back in Montreal on March 4.
