Alright stop. ADRossi gave two warnings. Why is it so hard not to talk about politics on a fucking Inter forum? I just don’t get it. I’ve given infractions to those whose posts were political in nature after the 2nd warning.

Crazy night. Fantastic game. 2 really awesome goals. The first half should be forgotten as Serbia were completely owning us. The second half was more 50-50 and with grinta we came out on top.

Regarding the double-headed eagle celebration: when the goals were scored I barely noticed the celebration because we were jumping and screaming drenched in beer. Seeing the replay I'd be lying if I said the celebration didn't bother me. It's small but annoying blemish on an otherwise perfect night.

In the post match interview when the reporter asked Xhaka whether the celebration was political he said it was just dedicated to the people back home and not directed at the Serbian fans. He said it with a light smirk though. Also keep in mind both Shaqiri and Xhaka went straight to the Serbian fans to celebrate. So yeah, it's quite obvious whom the celebration was meant for.

Even considering how recent the tensions between the two countries are, the way they were heavily booed and the crazy emotions in a world cup match, I'd say the celebration was unexpected. I can only imagine there were specific comments directed at the Albanians of the team that provoked them to celebrate in a spiteful manner. Nevertheless it was stupid and unecessary and it hurts the effort of the sport to distance itself from politics.

So, ADRossi, the infractions are only a thing for the members you don’t like? And the comments you delete are the comments of members you don’t like?
But the comment of your fellow moderator, the looser who started all this, is still there.
So many times I wanted to donate to this forum, and people like you are the reason I never did.
Transparency has never been your strongest suit in this forum.

I'd just like to mention that if you mean me, I also got an infraction and I'm pretty sure nobody likes me so that defeats your theory at least in my eyes.

lol no man....not at all.
Im referring to that Macedonian guy...he's the one who started all this shit by acting dumb and mocking, and saying that's a butterfly...him being from Macedonia, im 100% sure he knew what the gesture means, never-less he made the butterfly comment as a form of mockery from pettiness.

Well let's just stop talking about this, I just got used to not getting banned every month.

For anyone who wants to continue the debate, PM me.
My father is half Serb, so I got a lot of experience with arrogance and just overall deliberate ignorance for the sake of the argument.

Let me be abundantly clear about some things:

1) It is your fault you received multiple infractions, not mine. You are the one who is blatantly disregarding forum rules because you feel the need to express your personal feelings. I issued two warnings on the matter, and thatdude issued one. You chose to ignore all three warnings, and are reaping what you sewed
2) If you're going to insult someone, at least do so using an actual insult. It's "loser" not "looser."
3) We don't want your money, and frankly we don't want you posting here if you're going to be this argumentative and temperamental. Need I remind you what the last infraction you received (before today) was for? This is a trend, and it's not a good one.
4) He's from Australia, you twat.
5) To answer the question that has you PMSing, I'm not deleting the butterfly post because it actually initiated an educating conversation. I, who frankly doesn't given a damn about anything pertaining to Balkan politics and have no roots to the region, was objectively watching the Switzerland game and Xhaka scored, a co-worker I was watching the game with asked me what Xhaka's celebration was. My answer? "It must be a butterfly?" So stop being so sensitive and acknowledge the fact that to objective third parties, it what a reasonable question. A forum member answered the question to clarify what it actually was (which I appreciate), and that should have been the end of the conversation.

ah ok...you choose what's offensive and what's not, based on your personal knowledge, or the lack of it...Because an insult is not an insult if an ignorant like you, doesn't know the meaning of the insult.

That douche might be in Australia, but i go by the flag, and it's Macedonia and he is Macedonian descent, and you know it and he knows it, and Macedonians dont like Albanians, therefore he knew exactly what was he doing, he willingly and knowingly insulted another nation, but you act and defend him as innocent...you twat.

oh an the money thing, i can care less if you personally want me to post or no, or you don't want my money, you will never have it, i just said I WANTED to donate, but because of people like you, i wont.
Also, why when few months back i said, if Sassuolo and Chievo get relegated to Serie B, i'll donate $500, you were so happy and said you will quote me on that? if you don't want my money, then why bother with my comment about money, and wanting it?
I choose to come to this forum, not because of you, but because of lots of smart members here, who are not douches like you. It's because of few guys here and their excellent knowledge of things, that keep me coming here. You on other hand, when i see your opinions, i just scroll down.
So don't get all hyped up just cuz you have a button on your computer that gives you power to ban me or whatnot..treat everybody equally, and don't act like some kind of keyboard moralist and educate people.
Now here, ban me. I did you a favor.

i was reading on some newspapers that there is a good chance of a brazil vs germany clash in the round of 16, but in reality germany-swtitzerland and mexico-brazil seem more likely to me.

mexico need a draw against sweden in order to be first in their group, at that point germany will be second by beating south korea. this is the most likely outcome of the group, i reckon.

but i'm not so sure brazil will come first out of its group: they will face serbia, while switzerland (same points) plays costa rica.

brazil will probably end up winning against serbia but if switzerland overcome them in goal difference, then they are first.

FIFA charged both Xhaka & Shaqiri and yesterday included Lichtsteiner for potential 2 match bans. Swiss radio are saying the SFA and a Swiss delegate who used to be chairman of the FIFA disciplinary committe are confident of a positive outcome with nothing more than a fine

Interestingly, the internal debate within Suisse is divided on how to view what happened but most feel that after the incidents between Switzerland & Albania for Euro 2016 that FIFA should've done a better job ensuring a sporting environment ahead of the encounter with Serbia that elicited the reaction from the players

I am on this forum 10+ yrs and seriously thinking to quit.

Someone please prove me wrong about off topic/on topic stuff.

After game Serbia - Swiss, Krstajic gave “off topic statement” what insulted me and I had to comment that, without insulting anyone except moron Serbia coach.

After same game Serbian fans in Wien sang a songs very insulting to my people and I commented than, without insulting anyone.

My comments had a reference that Serbs insulting my people even we didn’t participate in that game at all but than they’re complaining about Shaqiri and Xakha mocking them.

How is that off topic? Is it my fault that Serbia’s coach mentioned Haag in post Footbal game comment?


Why we are not allowed to comment Serbia’s coach and Serbia’s fans in thread of the group where Serbia plays if those comments are connected with actual things they did and if we are not insulting anyone?

While it s not exactly off topic it is politics and not football and any discussion of it will eventually lead to a political debate since that is the nature of the problem!
Thats why mods are trying to stop this conversation as soon as it starts cause it just wont end in a good place. 99% of political discussions on this forum end with banings and suspensions so why not just leave it out. Also remember when we had the politics sub forum? how long did that go well?

Anyways i get your point but you ll have to accept that discussing these incidents will lead to a political discussion which is forbidden on here.

If you really wanna discuss it with a FIF member take it to PM.

Edit: Also it would be sad loosing Long term members over this.

my hairy albanian ass the mods try to stop it, when one of the mods started it lol

fuck y'all tbh, lichsteiner bless.

fucking insecure and thinly veiled racist western european cucks

also don't lie to yourself that western/developed europe is less racist than US, no one in US would get angry at an Albanian or African celebrating in a certain fashion, especially if the story was that the national team was made of by refugees which the country you were playing against was the reason for them being there in first place.
