The fire in red and white in Rome

Date:

The most talked about yesterday in football circles was none other than the launch of flares from the sector of the Olympic Stadium in Rome where Athletic fans are located, either in a stand with local fans, or in grass itself. Those who are used to it gave the grade. The reaction of the Bilbao club was immediate.

A harsh and forceful statement was prepared from Ibaigane. Valverde, for his part, made his position clear in his post-match appearance, emphasizing the word stain. The captains, led by De Marcos and Iñaki Williams, spoke to the section of Athletic fans in question once the match was decided to recriminate this type of incident. Ander Herrera, Paredes and Galarreta also made it clear in their interventions in front of the press that this is not the case.

This reaction from various levels of Athletic was recognized and applauded by football people both on the street and in the media. A gentleman’s club that behaves with the gentlemanliness expected of a century-old institution. The new stain, however, will be difficult to clean.

common problem

This, in any case, is not a problem that solely and exclusively affects the red and white entities. Similar episodes were experienced in other teams and their corresponding radical or ultra sectors. If it’s not the launching of flares, it’s a field invasion, a surprise attack on enemy fans on duty or a more or less multi-day battle between hooligans. Any reason is good to go and ride it.

Athletic need to do more if possible when it comes to controlling ticket buyers. Some recommend asking for owner identification at the entrance to the stadium on the same day of the match. Everything will be fine.

On a day when Bilbao should have been all talking about the 1-1 draw with Roma, the throwing of flares took center stage. Sad, but like life itself.
