Suffice to say I won't be opening that.

 

Yup. Who was it, and what injury?

No idea who it was but it's like when you bend your leg all the way back, except it went the opposite way to which his knee is supposed to bend.

Didn't affect me that much for some reason. Absolutely horrific like, it doesn't even look like it should happen, you would think his leg would take the force and the player would bounce off him.

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/an-explanation-for-why-turkey-fans-appeared-to-boo-minutes-silence-for-paris-attack-victims/

 

Let it be clear: In Turkey (especially at football matches) a one minute silence is always used to chant for those who died in terrorist attacks.

 

And what they are chanting is this “Şehitler ölmez, vatan bölünmez”. Translation: “Martyrs, they do not die (they are immortal), homeland (land, our land) is indivisible.”

 

That is a habit from our past with the terrorist organisation PKK. More than 30,000 of our citizens died over the past 30 years by the PKK (including babies, women, children, teachers, officers, doctors, students and soldiers).

 

In any event, after PKK terrorists kill someone in Turkey, people chant this. Below is a proof from one Turkish Premier League match:

 

Same slogan “Şehitler ölmez, vatan bölünmez”.

 

And also, they booed the terrorist, not the victims. Any victims of terrorism are accepted as martyrs in Turkish culture. There is no disrespect to them, there has not been, there will not be.

 

I demand a correction for your news, as soon as possible and an information mail related to topic.

 

Because this news creates hate around the world against my people, and for the wrong reasons.

Would like to hear VIs opinion on that.

There's nothing on our media about this. As a fan it would be really cool, but it would suck for all the teams that would find themselves relegated because of it. Also I don't think UEFA would give us more CL/EL slots so big clubs wouldn't probably want it either. For these reasons, I doubt this is real.

Would be the near end of Portuguese clubs outside the big 3.

 

The attendances in that country are fucking appalling anyway, aren't they? 

 

I went to a Benfica game in the CL against Zenit and it was only about 25k out of 60k, apparently league games against the division's minnows it's less than half that.

Some of the clubs are absolutely tiny though, plus most are rampant glory seekers so support Porto, Benfica or Sporting regardless of where they're from.

 

Estoril is the equivalent of Shields to Lisbon being Newcastle for example.
