I think rugby in Greece will have more support if us greeks win some more matches. It must be noted that the hooligans were using olympiakos and panathinaikos rivalry as an excuse for violence.

Just to repeat what I said before but which does not appear to have been posted – these incidents took place over a women’s volleyball game.
Rugby must not be smug and believe that it cannot happen. It is vital that the clubs work hard on not building barriers against each other, that the blind divisions that turn sports supporters into killers do not exist in this game.
Here’s hoping the final will be rescheduled and be played in a spirit fitting to the game.

Hi all,

I can hardly find words to describe my sadness concerning the events that caused this suspension.

I’m convinced that in a logical and sane world, violence has no place whatsoever in sports.

The fact that these thugs – because that’s what they are – believe that modern heroïsm can be found in useless and pointless hooligan-battles in the streets, describes their inability to act as a human being.

The responsibles should be severely punished.

Let us thank God that we play rugby, where hooliganism and other phenomenons of bad sportsmanship have no home.

Let’s pray for a better world,

Michael.
