Il Chelsea sembra nutrire un interesse, ricambiato, verso il centrocampista del Milan Andrea Pirlo il quale, secondo la stampa britannica, avrebbe chiesto alla propria società di appartenenza di potere seguire il mister Carlo Ancelotti nell’ avventura londinese. Intanto la società sta valutando in quale forme ricorrere contro le sanzioni irrogate a proprio carico dagli organi disciplinari dell’ UEFA in relazione alla tumultuosa semifinale di Champions’ League della scorsa stagione disputata contro il Barcellona e pesantemente condizionata dalla direzione arbitrale.  Sono state inflitte sei giornate di squalifica a Drogba mentre 85mila pounds sono l’ ammontare della multa inflitta al Chelsea per i lanci di oggetti da parte dei tifosi. A Belfast proseguono gli attacchi a cittadini dell’ est europeo iniziati subito dopo i duri scontri tra tifosi che precedettero e seguirono la vittoriosa gara interna dell’ Irlanda del Nord contro la Polonia disputatasi a “Windsor Park” ormai diverse settimane fa.  “Hooligans” polacchi provocarono risse e distrussero un pub prima di subire la dura reazione dei fans locali, culminata nel lancio di bottiglie molotov contro la PNSI, la polizia locale, che difendeva i fans biancorossi assediati all’ interno del proprio settore. Ad essere finita nel mirino questa volta è, però, la comunità rumena; secondo la polizia il “settarismo” tra protestanti e cattolici starebbe sempre più lasciando il posto ad una comune avversione verso l’ immigrazione dall’ estero, in special modo dalle nazioni dell’ Europa orientale.

 

Andrea Pirlo: Let me join Chelsea

By Football Spy 18/06/2009

 

Andrea Pirlo has become the latest AC Milan player to offer his services to Chelsea.

“Only yesterday defensive midfielder Gennaro Gattuso hinted he was interested in following new Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti from the San Siro to Stamford Bridge.And now playmaker Pirlo, 30, has admitted: “I don’t know if I’ll continue with Milan.”Perhaps it’s possible that I could join Ancelotti in London. He is a great coach, perhaps I could play with him again. Maybe it’s time for a new chapter in my career.””

Romanian immigrants were left in trauma

Thursday, 18 June 2009

Following the intimidation of more than 100 Romanian immigrants in south Belfast, Lesley-Anne Henry spent the day observing a scene that has brought shame to Northern Ireland

“Church members including pastor Malcom Morgan and his wife Trish were torn between trying to comfort the frightened refugees and fend off the scores of reporters and photographers who had descended on the area from dawn. British Red Cross workers, Belfast City Council representatives and a steady stream of other officials also arrived at the church to offer their services.Just after 8am the Romanians were transported to a Belfast leisure complex where food and other provisions were offered. They were ushered out of the media spotlight into a hall which had been decked out with mattresses and few ventured outside those four walls where media crews from across the UK had gathered.At lunchtime another bus load of refugees arrived. And one woman, carrying a baby in her arms told, in Spanish, of her wish to return to Romania as soon as possible.Among those who spent the day at the leisure centre a range of emotions was on display. Some were angry, others tearful but all had the pain and trauma of the past week etched on their faces.A raft politicians including the Deputy First Minister, Junior Minister Jeffrey Donaldson, Health Minister Michael McGimpsey, Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie, senior police officers, ethnic minority workers and outraged south Belfast residents came to the sports centre to show their support.All spoke of deep shame, regret and promised to do everything they could to help. But for the bemused Romanians there was little anyone could say to ease their heartache.The racist attacks have been blamed on loyalist and at one point UDA boss Jackie McDonald offered his help. He was swiftly turned away by a police guard at the door but told reporters he was working to discourage those behind the attacks.“We’re trying to talk to young people to encourage them not to do what they are doing,” he said.But there may be some hope. After the rawness of last night’s events calms down.One man , a father-of-one who has been in Belfast for eight months, said he was determined the thugs would not drive him out and hoped to give the city another chance.“I love Belfast. I have a job. No money in Romania,” he said.”

 

Racist thugs must be isolated

Thursday, 18 June 2009

“The old saying that bad news travels fast was certainly true yesterday. The disgraceful racist attacks in south Belfast which forced more than 100 Romanians to flee their homes made headline news around the world.The thugs who delivered the chilling threats to the families — including many young children, among them a five-day-old baby — dragged the reputation of Northern Ireland into the gutter in the eyes of the world. There was once a time, not so very long ago, when the name Northern Ireland was synonymous with terrorist violence. Now, because of the actions of a tiny minority, it has gained the equally vile reputation as a home to racism.That, of course, is an unfair reputation. Undeniably, there are racists in this province. Last year the PSNI logged 771 racially-motivated crimes. They ranged from verbal to physical attacks and every one of them was a reprehensible act. Sadly there are people living in Northern Ireland who are intolerant of anyone who is not part of their community. Sectarianism is still the most common hate crime, showing that there are people on both sides of this community who cannot tolerate each other, never mind people who come to live here from a foreign land.However, the overwhelming majority of people here are fair minded and welcoming to people of all nationalities. When they go abroad they expect to be treated with courtesy and civility and they extend the same welcome to people who come here on holiday or to work. They recognise that the migrant workers who have arrived in Northern Ireland in their thousands in recent years are hard-working,decent people determined only to make a new life for themselves in a country which enjoys a higher standard of life than their homelands. These immigrants add to the culture and the economic life of this province and are an asset.It is now time for the ordinary, decent people of Northern Ireland to show their appreciation of the migrant communities who have come here. They can do that most immediately by giving police information on the thugs responsible for the shameful attacks on the Romanian families in south Belfast.They must be isolated and brought to justice.When convicted they should be given exemplary sentences to show that racism will not be tolerated in this society.It is also time for responsible political leadership. The politicians of all parties must make it clear that racism will not be allowed to flourish here. They and the various statutory agencies like the Housing Executive and social services, must ensure that the families made homeless are given new accommodation as soon as possible and are encouraged to remain in the province. The PSNI should increase its presence in known racism hot-spots like the Village area of south Belfast to deter the thugs and to reassure ethnic minority groups living there.Northern Ireland cannot undo the terror foisted on innocent families this week. It cannot take back the bad publicity the province has unwittingly gained. But it can redeem its reputation by ensuring that those responsible for the racist attacks are brought to justice and by clear, unequivocal condemnation of those with hate in their hearts”
