Scariest ever experience I have ever had watching football Red Star V Leicester - UEFA Cup - in Vienna. I recall the racism against our colored players was deplorable. That’s what I’m saying the match experience in either place would probably be very scary. The cities though, separate from the football would be quite interesting to see.
Nalis Posted 3 September 2020 Posted 3 September 2020 Pot 3 looks more difficult than Pot 2 at present.
Christoph Posted 3 September 2020 Posted 3 September 2020 Wait are we in pot 3 then? Is it based on coefficient points then not place in the table?

I was only 10 at the time but i do have memories if feeling very intimidated by the whole experience Yep. I didn't help that drinking beer was allowed in the seats, coupled with fact the Austrian Police were totally ill-prepared and inexperienced in dealing with the Serbian Thugs. (Very good at giving out speeding tickets though).
mozartfox Posted 3 September 2020 Posted 3 September 2020 What a line up for that game.... Leicester City (3-5-2): Flowers; Rowett, Elliott, Taggart; Impey, Savage, Lennon, Izzet, Guppy (Davidson, 78); Eadie (Cresswell, 57), Akinbiyi (Gunnlaugsson, 78).

Wow cant remember that, he was constantly injured.

Not confirmed yet, but yes based on coefficient points. I think the groups provided were if all the favourites qualify, still lots of football to be played before we’re close to settling whose in which pot. We will be in pit 2 or 3, many teams above us who are far from certain of qualifying.
TrentFox Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 Couldn’t think where else I could put this. But as we prepare for yet another season in the PL and a European adventure, the photo below of upcoming fixtures should not be overlooked. 3

I actually went to Barrow once (that was enough) when we played them in the FA Cup in 68 think it was. Their ground made Filbert St look like the Bernabau but it was rammed and raucous. Seem to remember John Sjoberg scoring in a 2-1 win. Next round was the famous Cup replay with Man City - Frank Large and all that. Chief memories are of an horrendous rail journey up there with some Leicester fans getting arrested for smashing up the carriage they were in. I believe they're known as the 'good old days.' 1 2

Though things were certainly a bit edgy in Vienna with several skirmishes around the city I feel things would have been 100 times worse if the game was played in Belgrade. If like myself you were one of the lucky ones who by pure chance managed to avoid confrontation with the Serbs, Vienna was a brilliant place as a neutral venue City. As for the racism,although this is no excuse, it was 20 years ago, from team from the Balkans, it was to be expected as a part of the times the Serbians lived in. TBH I don't think things have changed too much. 1

I get rather sick of the continual change of what is and what isn’t acceptable. There was nothing disrespectful or demeaning in the phrases used. Can we get away with”Non Caucasian” or is that incorrect? 4 2

Most of it isn't meant in any disrespectful way but race, colour simply doesn't need to be mentioned. Anyway... 5

It's got some good potential and we can and will be embarrassed if we don't get our act together. Looking forward to it, it's win win for me. We're crap and I'll revel in it, we're good and I'll be proud of the lads. What I dont like about the Europa is how CL teams drop into it when they knocked out of the CL, that contributes to its reputation as a reject competition. I think its status would be helped if that didnt happen.

Anyway... I think if it vital to the point someone is trying to make than it should. For example him mentioning the Red star Belgrade fans being racist to a specific players due to things like race it shows how backwards the mentality of their fans is (well at least back then I wouldn't know much about Serbian football these days). In a broader context I can understand this mentality that you seemingly preach but in this specific instance I think what he said made perfect sense. Edited 4 September 2020 by Fightforever 2

Wouldn't make sense red star fans being white being racist to our (at the time) majority white players for not being white. The idea of not mentioning race is stupid in this context.

Come on. Whether or not the post was pathetic is a matter of opinion. Anybody who attended that game knows exactly what I meant. Mores to the point, I object very strongly of being accused in an obtuse and round-about way of being the same as the majority of the Red Star fans that night. That is totally unacceptable. Lets move on now. 4 1
