At the end of the 70’s, when the concept of “ultras” began to spread, the image of supporters radically changed. New resources and ways of encouraging the team – less known in that period – emerged on the stadiums.
In contrast to the other spectators, the first groups of the Italian ultras used to stand up at the games they attended and permanently sustained their team during 90 minutes by strong shoutings, rhythmical hand claps and also by using the drums.
Firenze 1975
Fans clashed on the pitch after the game, which ended 1-1, and incidents before the match saw a reported five fans - four Belgians and a Spaniard - arrested.
Anderlecht coach Ariel Jacobs played down the pitch invasion, attributing it to the “euphoria” following the result which gives the Belgian outfit the edge in their last-32 tie.
“I want to thank the Anderlecht fans who have covered so many kilometres to give their support to the team,” he said. “I think the invasion was due to a state of euphoria and it is regrettable.”
UEFA have yet to react but they are expected to come down hard after fining Austria Vienna 20,000 euros and ordering them to play two games behind closed doors - one suspended - following incidents in their match against Athletic in December.

Today a national demonstration washeld in Rome with ultras from all over Italy attending. The march began at Piazza Esquilino, behind the basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, and went down via Cavour, along via dei Fori Imperiali past the Colosseum and through the Circus Maximus before culminating in Piazza Bocca della Verità, a really nice route and a bit of a change from the usual demonstration routes the authorities allocate.
The idea was to avoid localism and rivalries and instead to put on a show of unity. Club colours, banners & scarves were banned, instead all groups were invited to wear a plain white t-shirt bearing the message ‘No alla Tessera del Tifoso”. On the back they were free to put their city/club/group names, a way of showing to fellow demonstrators where they were from without disrupting the overall show of coherence. Some wore shirts with the official slogan ‘Se i ragazzi sono uniti non saranno mai sconfitti’, classily translated from the Sham 69 song ‘If the kids are united’. Juve had produced expensive looking white hoodies with their club crest and group name embroidered on the back and ‘No alla Tessera del Tifoso’ on the front. Flash cunts. They even had an embroidered arm logo on. Most people just had the plain tshirts, which the Irriducibili Lazio were selling (always out to make a profit, they are). We didn’t buy one.
Chants were many but not terribly varied since the repetoire of songs suitable for all is not that huge - most chants are for or against some team or another, after all. So mostly we sang against the police, the carabinieri, the tessera, Spaccarotella (the policeman who shot Gabriele Sandri) and Roberto Maroni (minister of the interior, promoter of the Tessera, alround slimeball). And in favour of the ultras movement, and justice for Gabriele, and for Stefano Cucchi killed in police custody last month. ‘Noi non siamo dei criminali’: why should the innocent majority suffer infringement of their civil liberties rather than the convicted?
One of Jakmania’s action in Indonesia Super League. We are from Jakarta, we are from Indonesia.
At a rally organized by students against the Italy’s Interior Minister, Roberto Maroni, in Bologna, some ultras elements showed up to protest against the supporter’s card (tessera del tifoso).
During the protest some incidets occured, 2 policemen injured, 1 ultras arrested but for only a couple of minutes:
One of Hammarby’s top groups, Ultra Boys, celebrated 10 years of existance at the game against GAIS.
Here is a video from this game:
PODGORICA — A Serbian man shot and killed in Igalo, Montenegro, on Friday, was one of the leaders of a Red Star FC supporters’ group.
According to the media in Podgorica, the victim was identified as 27-year-old Marko Vesnić. His friend Ivan Marković, aka Ćili, was lightly injured.
Meanwhile, police in the coastal Montenegrin town of Herceg Novi are looking for cousins Duško and Vlado Roganović, who they suspect murdered Vesnić.
According to the same reports, the participants in the showdown had "unsolved issues" among them.
Vesnić was the leader of the Red Star fans, known as Delije, for years. He also worked as security for businessmen, company heads and sports clubs, said the media.
A day of rain and clouds and – for the record – Austria Salzburg won their last home game 3-0 against this season’s closest rivals, Grünau, in front of the expected full house of 2250 fans. For lovers of tautology that was the third consecutive promotion on the trot. Goals from Lubo Neubauer, Stefan Leitner and Xandi Seywald put the lid on a difficult and ultimately decisive season for the team and the supporters. After the first two seasons of thrashing hamlet teams and tractor boys, this year was the first time the side had really had to battle, and despite being up against it on a number of occasions, somehow – bar Bürmoos – there had always been a happy end. And that’s part of what Saturday was really all about.
At this point I have to remind the five people reading this abroad who aren’t familiar with the story just what this is all about; partly a question of sponsorship vs. ownership but above all a question of identity and pride. Three years ago Red Bull came in to buy a financially ailing Austria Salzburg, which at the time seemed OK; just that without asking the fans or taking the history of the club into consideration, the decision was taken to re-establish the club with a new name, Red Bull Salzburg, and to eradicate a long tradition of playing in purple and white in favour of introducing the corporate colours of the sticky drinks giant – red and white.
While convicted, Loris, a brother and a great friend of mine, asked me: “How is it going with the terraces?” It wasn’t meant to be a rhetorical question. In fact, this question sounded more or less like, “How’s mummy?”
A mother: a big water melon slice made of cement is like a mother to us.
A motherly arc where, everyday, the bodies of those who stay together all their lives swarm. If you live in a big city and you support a great team, you cannot possibly understand what a fan of Cosenza or Ancona feels like. Everything is wide in great cities, even supporters groups.
And that’s the big deal. I couldn’t lie to Loris, I had to tell him the truth. Our group had become a crowd of small groups. The greatness of the 1980s was just a memory. Nuclei Sconvolti didn’t exist anymore and you could feel it, especially when we played away. I read Valerio’s book. He explains the phenomenon clearly. Marchi often goes to the UK. He was one of the first to describe the firm phenomenon, and what happened in the 1980s, when supporters began to understand that it was necessary to disguise themselves. No more picturesque looks, no more chants, no more choreographed parades.
