CSKA fans last night

[gravediggerj]

I think given all the negatives around their fans in Russia, we need to praise those fans here last night. A sceptic may say too little too late but did anyone else notice that with yaya's first touch of the ball they all as one applauded him.

I didn't notice the applause for Yaya but their fans struck me as being a decent bunch. I saw plenty of them around the stadium after the game and they all seemed OK.

I noticed that. Was excepting the opposite so fair play to them. As always it's the minority that get their club a bad press.

I read last night on here that a blue (a poster on here; CTID88?) got twatted near where the B of the Bang used to be. For apparently having a big nose (his words) and looking Jewish. Another poster said that he saw CSKA fans on the tram making monkeys noises, and swearing at everyone.

Didn't notice but I was saying that it was a tad unfair to brand them all racists. Met some really decent ones over the two ties.

They wouldn't have got away with anything like that at Maine Rd, they would not have even got out of the North Stand away section

Thats not being thuggish, some fans deserve a good slap and this set of Russkie twats are one of them, i am basing this upon what i was told by some of my mates who went over to Moscow, live by the sword they should die by the sword

Worth mentioning a Tweet I saw before the game last night. Apparently a City fan found this on a tram on the way to the game.

Apologies for the link but, understandably, I dont really want to transfer the photo from my phone to my works PC.

True, de niro; what is it they say? "There's good and bad in everyone."

CSKA fan near me in CB level 2 came over and gave his scarf to a young lad in a wheelchair at the full time whistle.

That's probably because the problem fans were offloaded at Moscow airport or en route to Manchester at Denmark following a flight diversion !


A flight carrying CSKA Moscow fans to Manchester had to be diverted to Denmark to eject drunken passengers.

The Easyjet flight from Moscow was forced to land at Copenhagen Airport at 3.15pm on Sunday amid reports one drunken CSKA supporter had started pushing staff on board. Six of his friends were then also escorted from the service after complaining about his treatment.

The fans were en route to Manchester for Tuesday's Champions League clash against Manchester City, and have since booked new flights ahead of kick-off.

An Easyjet spokesman said: "Easyjet can confirm that flight EZY1872 flying from Moscow Domodedovo to Manchester on 3 November diverted to Copenhagen airport due to the disruptive behaviour of a passenger on board. One passenger was immediately offloaded on arrival.

"Unfortunately, prior to take off, it was necessary for the captain to take the decision to offload a further six passengers. The aircraft then continued towards Manchester where it landed with a short delay."

He added: "The safety and welfare of its passengers and crew is Easyjet's highest priority and Easyjet would like to thank the passengers for their understanding and apologise for any inconvenience caused."

Manchester City, meanwhile, have decided to deploy Russian translators at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday to monitor the language used by CSKA's fans. The move comes amid continued controversy following the racist abuse of Yaya Touré during City's 2-1 win at the Kimkhi Arena on 23 October.
