Admin phantom Posted September 19, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Absolutely no surprise The supporters were warned about areas to avoid in Milan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted September 19, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Stabbed in the back after falling whilst running away. Doesn't sound like hooligans engaging in a bit of consensual fighting and more like attempted murder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabbed in the back once and arm twice, apart from the obvious wounds he is OK It's the usual ultras picking off supporters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkev Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 Was always going to happen , not knocking them but the geordies are out there brash loud and looking for a good time , I’m afraid most cities arnt like Newcastle , mix the two together with cowardly sneaky knife welding Italians this was the obvious outcome , hope not but wouldn’t surprise me to see the numbers rise . 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club and Country Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Personally, I'm surprised at this (assuming it's AC Milan 'fans') , although not surprised at this happening in Italy as far as I'm aware neither Milan club have a history of this in recent times, infact the Milan derby is known as the friendly derby and whilst hostile in the ground people mix quite freely around the ground Edited September 19, 2023 by Club and Country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't any stabbing an attempt at murder???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Tootle Posted September 19, 2023 Report Share Posted September 19, 2023 I’ve got a feeling this isn’t related to hooliganism. The San Siro district in Milan has areas which are extremely deprived and full of migrant gangs. I would put my money on this being a robbery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened in the Navigli area apparently and that was on the news in Italy last week after a couple of incidents when people were attacked, stabbed and robbed.
