Rome police arrest 66 armed Lazio fans
ROME, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Italian police have arrested 66 fans of Rome soccer team Lazio, some of them armed with knives, machetes, clubs and knuckle-dusters, in a major crackdown on football hooligans.
Police told a news conference on Monday that the fans had been stopped on Sunday as they set off for a Serie A match against Atalanta in Bergamo. They were later released from custody pending possible charges.

Lazio Fans
I don't hold this against the Laziale, it's more a reflect of the Atalanta fans. Travelling to Bergamo is no picnic.
I don't like lies. I have understood your market where sometimes lies sell more than truth. This is your life and I don't like it. I understand your work and I have to work with you, but the protection of my group is much more important than you

yeh if i could have it my way, there wouldnt be such a fit from the media about throwing a bottle at someone else. But we do live in Australia and have a different sporting culture and perspective on the way sporting events are run. We emphasise on familys here, and why shouldnt we, we are a community and not everyone wants a bottle to the head. Like Bodo said, throwing a bottle at someone isnt right. If you done it on the street you would be put up for assualt.Stankovic wrote:i just find it hillarious how in Australia people make a big deal out of a bottle being thrown at a opposition supporter.
