Not properly..ask Billy Montreal who was with me at Milan -Juve in May..a Brigate thug punched a guy just because the people queueing up pressed this guy from behind. That's the reason, with other episodes of the same quality, why i quit the Curva. It's enjoyable for a short period, but sooner or later you will be involved into something similar or even more serious.

Maybe this will come as a shocker for many , but the reality is that among our fans there are just as much thugs as among the others. I have seen people beating up guys and girls without any problem, regardless of who was involved. Many on this board can confirm it, Franco and Billy for ex.

Edit:i want to add that i'm not the kind of person who gets impressed too easily, i've seen the bad quarters of Napoli, Amsterdam, bad people in Paris at the Trocadero and in many other parts of Europe; the thing is: going there for a couple of games is enjoyable and nobody will disturb your stay, but if you go there on regular basis, and try to form a group as we did, you must stay at their strict rules. This can be understandable, but for ex. imagine you've queued up at the opening of the gates5 hours before the match kick off, and that 5 minutes (it happens every game) before the match the Curva chieves come and claim their places near the balcony, so you have to leave the place you've reached after hours of waiting and cold, because you are pressed by the rows of people going upstairs and leaving the first rows for the curva chieves. Some of these guys have no respect, or have respect in their own way.
So basically, being me a bit hot headed and predicting that sooner or later i would have got in troubles with one of these guys (which means you get in trouble with all the others as well) i decided to quit. Because if i get punched by one of these i know that i would get into a fight of massive proportions, just like it happened during Milan- Manchester when the Curva chieves of Vecchia Guardia were looking for me and a friend of mine (10/15 persons) in order to beat us!!!

There's many people who stands many little or big abuses, you know, you're there and there're just their rules. I can't. It's a matter of character, and matter that practising martial arts since i'm teenager i can react. But is that worthy? i mean, getting into fights with thugs and being faced by 10 persons outside the stadium? i think it's not.
