I suppose "demeaning" is a bit of a euphemism then <blindfoldsmiley>Daku yelled "Death to Serbs" and was banned for 2 matches.
Wrong cuisine!I hope the Dutch fill their shawarmas with mayo!
They do the motorcade thing for weddings hereDon’t think anything will happen.
I will be happy when they are finally out of the tournament, however. The least likeable group of football fans I have ever witnessed. Everything has to be as extreme and aggressive as possible, with a huge element of racism and nationalism in the mix. It’s fitting that one of their fans killed someone in Berlin during their celebrations because he was speeding during an illegal motorcade. Because they have to speed as fast as possible while honking as much as possible, whenever they win anything.
Hey man leave the shawarmas out of it. They did nothing to youI hope the Dutch fill their shawarmas with mayo!
I thought the same but I just saw that it originated in the Ottoman Empire in the Anatolian peninsula.Wrong cuisine!
And you don't joke about the Turkish cuisine. It is every bit as good as the most deluded Turks believe Arda Güler is.
You’re right, I took it too far.Hey man leave the shawarmas out of it. They did nothing to you
They desperately need to learn to relax a bit. In regards to football, they are just exhausting to be around. Especially in youth football. There’s just so much aggression involved with them. Back when I was playing as a kid, there were exactly two games I played, that needed to be stopped due to violence from the spectators. Both times it was against Turkish teams. Both times because the fathers were going mad on the sidelines over nothing.They do the motorcade thing for weddings here
I dunno, I like the Dutch Turks (mostly), they're a lively bunch.
Hoping for more unchecked nationalism from the Germans?There would be more euphoria on the streets of German cities if Turkiye won the Euros rather than Germany
The hot headedness does sound familiar.They desperately need to learn to relax a bit. In regards to football, they are just exhausting to be around. Especially in youth football.

A good friend of mine is a ref. He had a game one or two years back, that made it to the courts, because fans were attacking him and the rest of the refs. The club was banned for a year from all competitions. Again, it was a Turkish one.
I just don’t get it. And I have no idea why it is like that. But it’s just no fun and in German youth football, it’s a serious issue, that’s not restricted to certain regions.
Ah our Dutch fringe nazi morons from Forum for Democratie also do the Gigi d'Agostino thing.Hoping for more unchecked nationalism from the Germans?
Austrians were also quite euphoric it seems:

Indeed. "The powerful few are controlling our lives and wanting to force us to accept the way they think. Also government oversight - can't have people tell us what to do!!"Funny how all these antiglobalist far right numpties globally act the same.
Yes, please, 7 or 8 portionsI hope the Dutch fill their shawarmas with mayo!
If only they were the better team. But that is football. It's just even worse it's the turks as it's a complicated relationship just as with the germans. I'd rather we lost to any other team but them but life goes on.Never knew Austrian fans were so bitter and such bad losers. The better team won fair and square. Turkey have looked better than most sides in the tournament as well so really can’t understand the rambling.
Just read this. What behavior are you referring to? Honestly dont know so im curious.The Turkish players, staff and supporters all need a collective smack for their shitty behaviour all tournament. Despicable bunch and I hope the Dutch fecking hammer them.
Absolutely stunning save. Has to be up there with some of the greatest surely.

Turkish Nazi stuff? That doesn't even sound right. What's that supposed to be?Probably referring to the fans behaviour in most big german cities and vienna where they are just loud, obnoxious, aggressive and destroying stuff. Also the whistles at every other national anthem. Also the nazi stuff.
I think it's well established now the turkish fans are not the most liked in europe.
The grey wolf salute. Not nazi, but definitely fascist.Turkish Nazi stuff? That doesn't even sound right. What's that supposed to be?
Banned for 2 matches. So here's your answer: we still care a bit about fascist saluts.Any talk about banning Demiral for the rest of the tournament yet or do we just not care about fascist saluts anymore?
Well yeah like someone said nazi is a bit over the top but still a far right gesture and even banned here in austria. Can get a fine for 4k here.Turkish Nazi stuff? That doesn't even sound right. What's that supposed to be?
Complicated relationship my arse. Most of us are at least a bit racists, it's not that complicated. If you don't believe me, read your post again where you claim you'd rather loose to anybody else.If only they were the better team. But that is football. It's just even worse it's the turks as it's a complicated relationship just as with the germans. I'd rather we lost to any other team but them but life goes on.

Got it. As a foreigner who's been living in Turkey for quite some time, I don't really see the "fascism" people speak of. If anything, Turks are pushovers when it comes to issues that would have many Europeans foaming at the mouth e.g. unchecked immigration.Well yeah like someone said nazi is a bit over the top but still a far right gesture and even banned here in austria.

Hilarious or... depressing.The threads about Demiral's gesture and Turkish/Austrian fan behaviour on reddit's main football sub were hilarious. One heated game of football and mentalities have gone right back to the days of the Ottoman Empire vs Habsburgs/Holy Roman Empire.
Is it enough if it has in several countries/regions?Banning Demiral for that??!?!
Granted, I’m in the US so my viewpoint will not get all the nuance but from what I read online, doesn’t seem like his gesture has universal meaning for facism.
Let the man play ball my goodness
How would you feel if somebody would salute al-Qaeda in a stadium? Members of the Grey Wolves have killed around 1,000 people over the decades and have been responsible for things like the bomb attacks in Bangkok 2015 or the assault on pope John Paul II.Banning Demiral for that??!?!

The Grey Wolves are a forbidden organisation in Germany. Since the tournament is held in Germany could we at least agree it's not, well....clever?Banning Demiral for that??!?!

Only if it is an offense in the country in question (Germany). If doing the grey wolves sign in Germany is a crime, then sure. But from what I read it’s not universal.Is it enough if it has in several countries/regions?
This is one of the reasons I’m not to pleased with UEFA on which political statements and stances are OK to take. Some conflicts are ok with them, others, not so much.How would you feel if somebody would salute al-Qaeda in a stadium?

If mention of the Grey Wolves is forbidden in Germany then that is a different story. Again, from what I read it seemed like in Austria you can get fined for it but I haven’t seen any thing for Germany explicitly. Happy to be proven wrong.The Grey Wolves are a forbidden organisation in Germany. Since the tournament is held in Germany could we at least agree it's not, well....clever?
Nazi salute is not illegal in most countries. In fact as far as I know that applies to only Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia and to an extent Switzerland and Sweden. Does that mean we should tolerate it in football stadiums?Only if it is an offense in the country in question (Germany). If doing the grey wolves sign in Germany is a crime, then sure. But from what I read it’s not universal.

If we go down the rabbit hole long enough we can find some of the allied nations funding some of the same groups we in the West deem are terrorist organizations.
To the al-Qaeda point. If I saw it I would be like “this guy isn’t so sharp” but that might be all I think of it.
When it comes to things like bans, I’m very weary on setting a particular precedent. There are some groups that 100% of people would agree are terrible groups eg Nazis. But there are others that fall into a more grey area depending on your political/ideological leanings.

From what i read, the symbol isnt forbidden in Germany and neither is the group itself. The group is just 'under supervision' in Germany. I do think it is ridiculous to do the sign when you play against a country where it actually is a forbidden sign/group though. Stupid thing to do and im glad to see that stupid actions have consequences.If mention of the Grey Wolves is forbidden in Germany then that is a different story.

Yeah couldn't agree more.The Turkish players, staff and supporters all need a collective smack for their shitty behaviour all tournament. Despicable bunch and I hope the Dutch fecking hammer them.
It’s a grey area on what is considered a facist salute. Again, I’m across the pond and our sensibilities on what should be banned/not banned is different and I’m acknowledging this upfront.You do know that we as humanity can oppose and stand against things that are not illegal? For example fascist salutes in football stadiums.
This!I wonder what are UEFA going to do when most of the Turkey fans do the salute at the next game?
What comparable issues have been given a pass?It’s a grey area on what is considered a facist salute. Again, I’m across the pond and our sensibilities on what should be banned/not banned is different and I’m acknowledging this upfront.
Knowing how the Turkish are viewed in much of Western Europe, especially Germany, this ban whiffs of UEFA being selective on which issues it takes umbrage with.
