JP,

Good to hear from you. Haven't seen you on here in a bit.

I agree with you 100%. The problem in Croatia is that they live by no rules. No one follows the laws, and most importantly, no one is there to enforce the laws. So when these hooligans go abroad, they feel like they are under the same system.

Everyone in Croatia talks about these Hooligans "embarrasing the country" however, no one is doing anything about it. Until an incident costs us a spot in the world cup or champions league, nothing will change in Croatia. It's sad but true.

Hi guys,

I totally agree with these fans (Toricda & BBB) giving a classy country a bad name. That's very well-put.

There's a really easy solution to this. When I lived in the Netherlands, I wanted to go to an FC Twente match, but I couldn't just walk up to the gate and get a ticket. Rather you had to register (your name, address, passport number, picture etc) with the team as a fan first, which was a process that took some time (I assume it was reviewed by somebody).

Anyway, because of this process, I couldn't go. This was almost exactly 10 years ago.

But Holland had hooligan problems that were sullying their image too, and this was their solution. It works as I haven't heard of anything bad from the Dutch fans since.

This would snuff out our problem. For away games the tickets could be bought only through the local authorities.

I think registering makes a lot of sense. As far as when/how to register hooligans, wouldn't it make sense just to register whomever is caught/prosecuted for inappropriate crowd behavior? Throw a bottle or get pulled from the stands for a racist chant, you're on the list. Basic behavioral response that acts as a nice deterant. Makes sense to me. Also, agreed that this is the minority in Croatian fans.

It's hard to find the right people. Police can't exactly go into the stands and fine people as they see bad behaviour and the registering is a good idea if you want less violence and hooliganism.

With this registering stuff, do the fans get registered as they go into the game or is it another time because there is probably many ways around it for the BBB.

And Ciganski Bosanac, I don't go on your Bosnian websites because I don't give a shit about your useless football so don't screw up our ones.

Joze,

I agree with you that "the fines are going to the wrong people." However, what should FIFA/UEFA do? Who should be punished?

Germany and England came up with a system of registering the hooligans and barring them from crossing the border. This has helped Germany and England tremendously. Today, Eastern Europe is know for the Hooligans and surprisingly English and Germans are afraid of Eastern European Hooligans. In 1996 European championship, England was told that they will never host another tournament after hosting this one. They sure changed their act.

I would hate to watch a game behind closed doors. I would only kick out the registered hooligans. Imagine a Bad Blue Boy asking another Bad Blue Boy to join him to Prague. The Bad Blue Boy replies, " Because of the last incident in (fill in the blank) they registered me as a hooligan and I can't cross into the Czech boarder a week before and up until the match." Not only would this stop hooligans from attending, but will also make others think twice before they make monkey noises....

Luka,

I agree with you 100%. A few clowns show up to these events to get drunk and cause problems. I could care less about them, however, they embarrass the entire country.

Ciganski Bosanac,

This is not a political or Religous board. You might be more comfortable on allahsportsreport.com You are still welcome on this site as long as you knock off the religious talk.

We are huge huge huge on respect here at CroatianSoccerReport.com

A little over a week to go until Croatia-Ukraine. We have been punking Ukraine since 1998. I am sure that they will be ready for this encounter.

This is really getting out of hand. Because of these few hooligans a very classy European country is getting a bad image. The fines for the monkey chants were ridiculous and unfair but this is intolerable.

The fines and punishment are going to the wrong people. The club aren't the ones running around throwing bottles its the fans.

I know they should probably do more to control the BBB, but its hard to arrest someone or kick someone out until they have actually done something wrong.

I don't mind the fan fights anyway, what would a Dinamo Zagreb game be without it? I would hate for the fans to stopped from entering games in other countries.
