OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Violence is expected in Vienna and all across the Balkan states due to the Muslim -Christian tensions in the area. Two people have already been killed in Bosnia and police are preparing for large scale violence in the city of Mostar. Riot squads are on standby. Expect to see this across all the Scottish and British media tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,913 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 When the bbc reporter was at the fanzone, it showed the Turks celebrating their goal, to me it looked like there was plenty being lobbed at them from the Croat section, the camera panned back a bit swiftly, bedlam in there i reckon.

trueblue87 0 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Has there been much violence at the tournament? Generally no, just a couple of smaller incidents. There was some trouble yesterday though. In Ottakring(a part of Vienna) a Turkish quarter lies virtually next to a Croatian quarter and after the game the Croats tried to make their way into the Turkish part. Police tried to separate them and there were bottles and stones thrown from both sets of fans. It seems there have been 12 arrests. In the fanzone there were some fights because Turks were provoking Croats. There was a lot of tension before the game already and the dramatic finish of the game didn't really help.

OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 We've got another tinderbox on the go with Turkey now facing Germany. Most of the incidents were in the Balkan states between Muslim and Catholic communities. Mostar was one of the main trouble spots which is actually in Bosnia or Herzegovina. There are many opinions on where Herzegovina ends and Bosnia begins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 We've got another tinderbox on the go with Turkey now facing Germany. Most of the incidents were in the Balkan states between Muslim and Catholic communities. Mostar was one of the main trouble spots which is actually in Bosnia or Herzegovina. There are many opinions on where Herzegovina ends and Bosnia begins. and Germany has a very large turkish population so it will be some night Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
