surrifox Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 On the radio this morning an apologist for the Serbian FA, by way of defending the accusations of racist chanting mentioned that when RSB played Leicester in the 1990s the Leicester crowd made "bombing noises" towards the Belgrade fans. Mocking them for the NATO raids on the country. My question is this (and I thought my memory was reasonable but fails me here) Why were we playing RSB? (presumably post League Cup qualification for Europe) What was the score?

First round of the UEFA Cup, we lost Can always remember Flowers getting beat from miles out at Filbert Street cos there fans let off flares and you couldn't see a thing!

Was that the game we lost 1-0 and Tim Flowers could barely see the ball for all the smoke grenades and flares at the start of the game? That was a short lived European experience.

(presumably post League Cup qualification for Europe) What was the score? Total BS. Unlike the flares and smoke bombs they fired at Filbo, and the lit fireworks hurled at us in the return game. The latter was played in Vienna as the FA didn't want English clubs/fans travelling to Serbia the year after NATO (at UK insistence) had bombed it. Also remember Akinbiyi getting a hard time that night, with the same monkey noises that were aimed at Danny Rose this week.
Nick Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 It was 1-1 at Filbo. They scored really early cos of that We'll just say that my recollection of 'the 90's' are a bit hazy and leave that there.....

(presumably post League Cup qualification for Europe) What was the score? Crass, but hardly racist and I wouldn't put that in anywhere near the same league as making monkey noises at black players. I wish people would stop trying to apologise for the actions of this minority of backward fans and just punish them. It's a joke. EDIT: And reading the last few posts, sounds like it didn't even happen anyway.
NewquayFox Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 Didnt really get the easiest of draws in our last two journeys into Europe in the 90s and early noughties, Athletico Madrid and Red Star Belgrade....... ;0( EUFA have either got to ban these countries or the FA stop English sides from playing them if its possible...... ;0/
Soar Fox Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 I was only 12 at the time and went to the game. Stood in the kop with my dad, can't remember a lot just a lots of flares going off. Looking back I realise how lucky I was to have seen and been to two great European games and atmosphere down Filbert St.
TrentFox Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 What sort of desperate tactic is it to claim something is okay today because someone else did something a bit similar 20 years ago ! The world moves forward. Some attitudes on the continent (and here) haven't. Everyone is responsible for 'encouraging' positive realignment. Including FIFA / UEFA et al. Will they ? Don't make me laugh ! We'll all be here again next year and the year after making the same points.I've seen Digestive biscuits with more spine than the footballing authorities.
accessory Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 There aren't many countries English fans can take moral high ground against. But Serbia is definitely one of them.
cc_star Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 How do you make bombing noises? There aren't many countries English fans can take moral high ground against. But Serbia is definitely one of them. +1
cambridgefox Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 There is a YouTube video that shows you exactly what sort of fans they were,think its under red star v leicester,cannot post this at the moment.Caused mayhem in Vienna and I think they were banned from their own country for the reasons above and all the trouble they had caused. Leicester fan at 4.25 makes me laugh though.
Guest Electric Yetis Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 Also it wasn't the 90s. It was in 2000.
pSinatra Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 I was in the kop at Filbert Street & don't remember any bombing noises. Even if there had been, it doesn't justify their actions 12 years laterI don't know the politics of the break-up of Yugoslavia, but I always remember Sinisa Mihajlovic when I think of Serbian football. Brilliant footballer......but a c*nt!!
surrifox Posted 18 October 2012 Author Posted 18 October 2012 How do you make bombing noises? (guessing) -whistling the "Dambusters" perhaps?
The Don Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 I presume the reason they did a bit of ethnic cleansing, was due to the fact that the germans did a bit 50 years before
marty78 Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 I really don't think making bombing noises would that difficult to pull off, maybe the sound of plane followed by some sort of boom, possibly aided by arm movements. Try it and I'm sure with little imagination you could come up with something. However, whether or not that incident happened, it can in no way justify what happened the other night. In the same way should an English side chant racist songs this weekend the events of the other night will in no way legitimise that. Every incident should be punished in its own right and no-one should be immune. I just hope football authorities will one day pull their fingers out of their arses and start punishing appropriately.
Raj Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 I cant remember hearing any of that shit. But if we did that 20 odd years ago,then they are justified in making monkey noises to the black england players in 2012!!!! Good old Serbian FA.
Captain... Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 Ridiculous claim, for all the above reasons, was also there at Filbo, and I don't remember any bombing noises, and I doubt many of our fans would have made the link between Serbia and the war, and bombing noises. If we were going to make bombing noises at anyone it would be Coventry, but we don't. As stated it is no justification for anything, unless they are claiming it was only black Leicester fans making bombing noises, but even then 2 wrongs don't make a right. Incredible to think there are worse FAs than our own...
Grey Fox Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 How do you make bombing noises? Whoosh, boom! Come on, everyone knows that.
5waller5 Posted 18 October 2012 Posted 18 October 2012 Whoosh, boom! Come on, everyone knows that. Oh, I thought it was more .... EEeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh BOOSH!!!! It may have changed since the 90s though?
