BTW, what were the TCs doing at an Apoel-Omonoia game?

Are you a Brit by any chance? Some TCs have been waiting for decades to go to such Nicosia clashes of teams they once supported, and some even founded these clubs along with GCs!

The only mixed club was AEL. Omonoia split from APOEL in 1948, as you know APOEL was founded for the Greeks of Nicosia (as its name suggests)

In case your feeble mind missed yet another point here it is again in plain english. Its racist to generalise that an entire group of people are all racists.

DT, I'm just wondering... has the TC football fanatic youth gotten sucked into the hooliganism yet?

I condemn the incident that some Apoel fans attacked Turkish Cypriots who went to watch Apoel - Omonia game last sunday.

I don't say that all Apoel fans are responsible but I really don't understand how xenophobic they are. They are the most racist group in Europe...for sure...Can anyone have a suggestions how both communities avoid such actions? How we prevent this tension?

That is a racist remark, Tommy27.

I fail to see what is racist about Tommy27's post but I see plenty in yours. What has race got to do with footbal. Whay shouldn't a TC go to a GC team game?
You obviously do not follow football or understand it. You may be in the Norman Tebbit schol of thought regarding sport.

And if they are? Then what?

On this side? No. In the occupied territories I wouldn't know.

What about “giants” from the past based in the heart of Nicosia like Olympiakos and Orpheas?

Ah, those giants!

Olympiakos was founded by GC youth that where in the Pancyprian Gymnasium then. Very much a GC club.

As for Orpheas, I doubt whether their mother knows them.

Hoi! My old man was a founding member of that!

First of all TC football has nothing to do with politics and the crazy stuff that does happen is confined to the grounds. I'd say it's no where as crazy as the south.

The racist nature of Tommy27's comment was aptly explained earlier in this thread.

Would you care to point out where in my post you see anyrthing racist?

I did not say that a TC shouldn't go to a GC team game, that was your interpretation of my post.

I condemn football hooliganism, whether it has racist undertones or not. I also condemn any attempts to exploit incidents of hooliganism to score propaganda points, whether they be TC-bashing or GC-bashing. Especially when closely followed by "naive" questions like "what does football have to do with politics". Now do you understand?
