United fans op bezoek in rotterdam Wat Ajax-supporters niet werd toegestaan lukte de United-fans wel, op bezoek bij die voetbalclub in rotterdam. Hierbij een impressie van United-fan Paul. Wij menen dat di'. artikel onvertaald het best tot zijn recht komt, daarom bij wijze van uitzondering een Engels artikel. Maar dat moet gezien het hoge intellectuele niveau van de gemiddelde DAS-lezer geen enkel probleem zijn, toch There was some trouble as you would expect and it was United fans that started it. About 100-150 of the 'hardcore' attacked the feyenoord bars in the city centre. There were three or four bars next to each other and their lads were inside chanting about hating 'the fucking Ajax*. About ten den haag fans met up with United fans at the train station. There were running battles all afternoon and feyenoord got the run around. At the ground feyenoord fans attacked the 'official club coaches' which were full of families, wierdo's, anoraks and older fans. They bricked the coaches and smashed the windows. United fans who caught the train to the stadium arrived and fought with feyenoord's mob. One of our top lads (leaders) was arrested and is going to be in prison for six weeks. Bricks were hurled at United fans as they made their way into the stadium. Some feyenoord fans waiting for United fans arriving late to the game were attacked and battered. During the game feyenoord fans were very quiet, especially when we scored. Their fans threw coins at Andy Cole as he celebrated the first goal. Bricks, fireworks and coins were thrown into the United end. The police beat the feyenoord fans back, away from the segregation screens. We were taking the piss out of them telling them they were ugly scruffy wankers. They just kept telling us that we ware going to die. We laughed and it made them more mad. At half time, some of their fans under the stand tried to break into the United end. The police had to push them back and United fans surged to get into the home end. feyenoord fans just kept telling us that we were going to die - we just kept laughing. In the second half United fans saw that they had a big 'Leeds United' flag in one corner of the ground and we started singing 'Ajax, Ajax This is very unusual, for United never sing the name of another team, never. I can't remember a time when United fans sung another teams name. They went mental, berserk. The police had to calm them down and some feyenoord fans were hit with batons. Then seeing how upset the feyenoord fans were getting United sang; '4-0', 'One team in Holland', and 'Ajax, Ajax top of the league!' You would have found this all very funny.' They chanted 'Chelsea' back to us, which is very strange and very wrong. Chelsea aren't a rival to United, never have been, never will be. So we sang 'Chelsea rent boys' back to them (Chelsea is an area of London reknowned for Gay prostitutes). They scored a consolation goal but they were never going to save the game, they're far too shit. As they left the stadium we chanted 'Ajax, Ajax' again, just to send them home that bit more pissed off. We were kept in for an hour after the game and most of their fans had gone home by that time. There were reports of fighting in the city centre later on that night but I didn't see any trouble myself. Ten observations from rotterdam 1rotterdam is a shit city - grey, ugly and full of grey and ugly people. 2. The feyenoord hooligans are a very ugly bunch, who need weapons to be hard. Only scousers carry knives in England - wankers. 3. feyenoord are a shit team. 2-1, 3-1. It could have been 10-1, 5-1. 4. feyenoord fans are more bothered about Ajax than their own team. 5. When United fans sang 'Ajax, Ajax' they sang 'Let him die' referring to the Ajax fan that was killed earlier this year. They also did 'Munich' aeroplane impressions. No wonder they had a Leeds flag up, just as brainless and just as ugly. 6. Bricking coaches full of women, children and old people is very sad and is a shit house (coward) style activity. 7. We were drinking in bars full of feyenoord fans and they sing along to this really shit song. Shame they didn't sing during the game. 8. How feyenoord didn't have a player sent off I will never know. Cruz is an ugly donkey. 9. Their fans went into a frenzy when we sang 'Ajax'. I've not laughed as much at a football game in years. 10. feyenoord are going out of the competition, rightly so 'cos they didn't win the League. As United fans sing at Euro games, "We're here 'cos we're Champions!' They're not! 8
