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

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?
"BTW, what were the TCs doing at an Apoel-Omonoia game?" is what you said. If thats not racist what is?
The answer is very simple really. To watch a game of football, that is assuming that they can play football which I very seriously doubt on account that DT supports one of them and he knows nothin about football.
You responded to Tommy post and accused him of racism but did not mention that the racist comment was in a previous post. As I couldn't see anything racist in his post but I could in yours, I thought I would put my two pennys worth in.
Never mind forget it
