Le autorità sudafricane, dopo avere ipotizzato uffici di polizia sui treni che trasporteranno i tifosi in occasione della prossima coppa del mondo, ora promettono, se sarà necessario, di ricorrere anche a cannoni ad acqua ed altri espedienti non propriamenti facenti parte di una gestione illuminata dell’ ordine pubblico. Dopo la bizzarra dichiarazione di un funzionario il quale avrebbe testualmente affermato che il Sud Africa sarebbe maggiormente sicuro di alcune città italiane, come riportato da alcuni quotidiani nazionali, l’attenzione delle eminenze locali si sarebbe focalizzata, tanto per cambiare, sui previsti 40mila inglesi che seguiranno la squadra nazionale e che desterebbero timori alla luce dei recenti episodi violenti accaduti oltre Manica. In occasione dell’ ultima coppa del mondo di Germania 2006 oltre tremila inglesi furono colpiti da divieti di espatrio in concomitanza della massima manifestazione calcistica planetaria. Intanto la prestigiosa BBC si è soffermata sui comportamenti oltre il consentito di decine di genitori che assistono alle gare dei propri figli in giovane età.
SA police issue hooligan warning
BBC News
09 November 2009
The man in charge of policing next year’s World Cup in South Africa says his force will have a zero tolerance policy when it come to hooliganism.
Recent England matches have been largely trouble free but this year’s Carling Cup has seen cases of violence.Police chief Vishnu Naidoo said: “We will know long in advance if people have any intention of behaving badly“And in the unlikely event they do, they will be put in a place where they will have every regret.””Perhaps, that might set such an example for them that they might even go back home and not behave in that manner again.”Following 945 arrests in European Championships in 2000, police took steps to ensure that recognised hooligans from England did not travel to the World Cup in 2006.They issued 3,300 Football Banning Orders which prevented them leaving the country and as a result the World Cup in Germany passed off without much incident.But recent violence at Carling Cup games have brought the issue back to public attention.In August, one man was stabbed in the chest before a Carling Cup tie between West Ham and Millwall while the match was delayed because of three separate pitch invasions.Trouble also flared at Barnsley’s Carling Cup tie against Manchester United last month where nine people were arrestedThe Football Association were quick to condemn the violence and said after the West Ham game it would not damage their bid to win the 2018 World Cup so long as it was a “one-off”.South Africa has been well aware it needs to ensure safety for all fans next year as the world’s biggest football showpiece is hosted on on African soil for the first time.But senior superintendent of the South African Police Naidoo said his message was clear.”If [people] come and start trouble they will learn a very difficult way in which they will be dealt with in South Africa,” he said.”We’ve procured equipment for crowd management purposes like water cannons and body armour and we are not going to allow a few individuals ruin a fantastic tournament for the many hundreds of thousands of people.”We, in South Africa, are convinced that we are not going to be plagued by this type of behaviour.”
Junior football ‘violent’
BBC Sport
10 November 2009
A BBC Radio 5 Live investigation into junior football has found a game blighted by violence.
The results have led to parents withdrawing their children from teams and a shortage of grassroots referees.”We see spitting, swearing, butting, kicking and assaults by parents all the time”, Geoff Swinnerton, president of Liverpool FA told Sport on Five.Aggressive and abusive parents are cited as the main culprits.Another interviewee, who ran a junior league which collapsed through lack of interest, has seen parents walk across a pitch to confront each other with weapons.A discussion into the issues was aired on Monday on Sport on Five where Sir Trevor Brooking, the FA’s Director of Football Development joined parents, coaches and referees who have become frustrated with the game.Brooking said: “It is a big concern and it’s something we have to link in with the new coaching strategy. We’ve got to embarrass the parents.”I think some of the parents haven’t got any social responsibility full stop, irrespective of whether it’s football or anything.”We’ve got to make sure that those sorts of parents aren’t part of football.”We’ve got to support coaches to go up to parents and ask them to take their kids away, if they carry on shouting.If enough clubs say, ‘we don’t want you’, then gradually the message will get there because kids just want to play.”Sport on Five has also discovered that, despite the introduction of a wide range of child protection measures in recent years, the FA is failing to oust convicted criminals from junior football clubs.The FA has a programme called Soccer Parent which aims to raise standards of behaviour and knowledge.
