    The Open Sore of Football: Aggressive Violent Behavior and Hooliganism

    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.1515/pcssr-2016-0015 The Open Sore of Football: Aggressive Violent Behavior and Hooliganism Authors’ contribution: Osman GumusgulA,C,D, Mehmet AcetB,E A) conception and design of the study B) acquisition of data Dumlupinar University, Turkey C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT Aggression and violence have been a customary part of life that mankind has had to live with from the beginning of time; it has been accepted by society even though it expresses endless negativity. Aggression and violence can find a place in sports events and football games because of the social problems of the audience watching the competitions or games, which sometimes fall into the category of hooliganism. Turkey is one of the countries that should consider this problem to be a serious social problem. Even during 2014 and 2015, a relatively short period of time, there were significant hazardous acts committed by hooligans. In February 2014, one supporter was killed after a game between Liverpool and Arsenal in England; in March 2014, a game between Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce was left half-finished because of violent acts in the stadium that caused players in the pitch to believe that they could not leave stadium alive, although they finally left after a few hours; in another incident in March 2014, one supporter was killed after a game between Helsingborg and Djugarden in Sweden; in November 2014, one supporter was killed and 14 supporters were injured before the game between Atletico Madrid and Deportivo in Spain.

  • The Criminal and Criminological Aspect of Delinquency of Rowdyism Character

    The Criminal and Criminological Aspect of Delinquency of Rowdyism Character

    PhD thesis Dr. László Tibor Nagy The criminal and criminological aspect of delinquency of rowdyism character Miskolc, 2009 I. Subject and object of the research The importance of the delinquency of rowdyism character has significantly increased for our days. Beside the progressively increasing tendency, rowdyism is definitely considered to be a delinquency category, having the highest social dangerous, dominantly influencing the sense of security of the population, most of all arousing the interest of the media, and which has become the most frequent crime of violent delinquency . While rowdyism represented merely the 15 % of the violent criminality in 1980, it was 33 % in 2008. This conception becomes clearly distinct, regarding the perpetrators, who had become notorious: between 1980 and 2008 the rate of persons accused by rowdyism, in the category of violent perpetrators had increased from 22 % to 49 %, so every second perpetrator from the revealed violent perpetrators commits rowdyism . So the crime-statistical data are unambiguously proving, that when we are talking about violent delinquency, or researching and estimating the features and shaping thereof, then actually we are mainly concerning rowdyism. While in our country many monographs had already been born in the topic of elaborating features of violent criminality, till the complex revealing of delinquency of rowdyism character is regarded as suppletory. I attempt to reveal the neglected aspects of delinquency of rowdyism character in their complexity , from the aspect of penal law and criminality in my thesis, and to perform the missing, independent monographic elaboration of the topic, at the same time realizing the completeness of the scientific analysis of the violent delinquency .

However, the launch of this competition format for did have a few side effects. By concentrating the top clubs the UEFA Cup. in one competition, it diminished somewhat the appeal of the other UEFA competitions. A first measure to combat this devaluation was the merger of the UEFA Cup and the European Cup Winners’ Cup, to create a revamped second European club competition. More recently concern about the amount of football played and the balance in the club competitions, allied to a downturn in the market, led us to re-examine those com- petitions.

    UEFA EUROPA LEAGUE - STAGIONE 2020/21 CARTELLE STAMPA Stadion Energa Gdańsk - Gdansk mercoledì, 26 maggio 2021 21.00CET (21.00 ora locale) Villarreal CF Giornata 15 - Finale Manchester United FC Ultimo aggiornamento 26/05/2021 13:02CET Storia della partita 2 Legenda 6 1 Villarreal CF - Manchester United FC Mercoledì 26 maggio 2021 - 21.00CET (21.00 ora locale) Cartella stampa Stadion Energa Gdańsk, Gdansk Storia della partita La finale di UEFA Europa League 2020/21 che si giocherà a Danzica vedrà affrontarsi gli spagnoli del Villareal, che non hanno mai vinto un trofeo di una grande competizione europea, e i campioni del 2016/2017 del Manchester United, che invece giocheranno la loro 14esima finale UEFA. • La formazione spagnola è allenata da Unai Emery, specialista della competizione e vittorioso per tre edizioni di fila col Siviglia dal 2013/14 al 2015/16 e finalista anche con l'Arsenal nel 2018/19. Gli inglesi sono invece guidati da Ole Gunnar Solskjær, alla ricerca del suo primo trofeo europeo da allenatore - il suo primo dopo due anni e mezzo sulla panchina dello United. • Il Villarreal ha vinto il Gruppo I di UEFA Europa League precedendo Maccabi Tel-Aviv, Sivasspor e Qarabağ, qualificandosi ai sedicesimi per l'ottava volta. Ai sedicesimi e ottavi ha eliminato due squadre provenienti dalla fase gironi di UEFA Champions League, ovvero il Salzburg (2-0 t, 2-1 c) e Dynamo Kyiv (2-0 t, 2-0 c), e poi ha battuto nei quarti per due volte la Dinamo Zagreb (1-0 t, 2-1 c), e infine in semifinale ha eliminato l'Arsenal, rivale dello United in Premier League ed ex squadra di Emery, vincendo 2-1 complessivamente (2-1 c, 0-0 t).
