    Far right supporters have neo * views such as discrimination against black players and anti-semite chanting etc.

    no, they are not... they are not politic option, they are football supporters... in BBB you have right wing members, but some left wing guys as well... to sum up - BBB are very patriotic fans... but fascist? cmon, we have 5 or 6 black players in our team (dinamo) and you can't hear rasistic chanting while dinamo is playing... or similar *... you can only see our national flags or dinamo flags... no che guevara, no marx, no hugo chavez, no hitler, no pavelic, no benito etc...

    p.s. for example... in venezuela left wing is more patriotic (i suppose because of Evo Morales?), and on other hand in croatia right wing is more patriotic because of certain views...

    Updated as promised.

    If I missed anyone give me a shout or if you want a club removed and you can make a convincing argument as to why I will. :50:

    not sure about this one but UNAM is a quite left minded University so logic holds that Pumas are a leftist club no?

    Shelbourne F.C. are apparently a left wing team.

    I fail to see the irony here, up until 20 years ago Yugoslavia was a communist country.

    I haven't seen many convincing arguments as to why Liverpool, Benfica, Impact de Montreal (!?) etc. are where they are on that list.

    think he meant it was ironic that they are called Red Star yet apparently have right wing fanbase, i have to admit i dont know if its true or not.

    the thing that gets me is the amount of right wing clubs in Russia and Poland considering how much lives they both lost to Fascism. seeing Russian skinheads with Swastika tattoos, it's mind boggling. The Nazis killed more Russians than they did Jews ffs.

    same with Serbs after suffering the Croat Ustashe regime in WWII. I just cant understand how the mind of a right winger works tbh

    serbs had their own right wing army called Chetniks... but on other side there were left winged partisans which were consisted of croats, serbs, slovenians etc...

    and many (i would say majority) croats hate communists because they killed about 200,000 (more-less civilians) Croats in last months of ww2 and few months later...

    ww2 in ex-yu countries isn't that simple to understand...

    yeah i dont know the ins and outs of the history of the balkans. i like to think i know a wee bit more than the average brit, but that isnt really saying all that much.

    i've actually heard of the Chetniks but clean forgot about them when i was writing that post.
    all i mean is that i dont understand how a Fascist's mind works, although that probably isnt surprising considering my political ideology

    i will agree on their they are very strong nationalists you will see as youve metioned the croat flag & also ive vatican flags is that because their are proud of there roman catholic identity & not orthodox like other eastern european nations but BBB are right wing surely ive read about? also is it true they class themselves as a mediterranean & not a balklan state like bosnia,serb,montenegro is that true? you will probaly know the scene better than me being a croat yourself

    well, yeah they are probably right winged as a group... but right winged as patriotic group... not as anti-semite or rasistic.... not even close...

    you can find catholic flags from time to time.. yeah because they are proud of being roman catholic... but probably it has to do more with culture rather than religion itself...

    no they don't class themselves as anything... they are croats... simple as that... but lot of guys from croatian parts of Bosnia and Herzegowina are dinamo fans and part of BBB, and lot of guys from southern croatia as well... dinamo fans live all over the croatia and bosnia and herzegowina...

    croatia was influenced by 3 different cultures... middle european (austria, germany, hungary); medditerranean (italy and vatican) and byzantinean (turkish)... and geographically there is no such thing as balkan peninsula (because that territory is no peninsula).. well croatia is shaped really weird so it's hard to say where do we belong (geographically)... some say middle europe, some say south europe... but i think that the most correct term is southeastern europe... (or Balkans as you like to call that territory)

    Yep most irish clubs would be like bohemians shelbourne and derry city, all except for rovers:38:

    Ljubljana of slovenia are right wing, their ultras are called Green Dragons, bohemians played them in europa league this year, all their skinheads wore white power t-shirts and robbed a Tri-colour to burn before the match, absolute scumbags.

    It said 'Serbia - ironic eh?', not Red Star. Great majority of Partizan and Red Star supporters are either politically neutral or at least aren't extremists.

    There are some right wing groups unfortunately and there's distinct lack of left wing groups.


    I remember reading a while ago how BBB were banned from Celtic Park due to their links with right wing extremism.

    In terms of the Irish clubs I would definitely agree that Shamrock Rovers are a right wing club in general while Bohemians and Shelbourne were more left wing given both are based in working class parts of the city on the north side of the Liffey.

    100 % true. I have never met a RS fan or a Partizan fan who is a fascist.

    Would not have put these here if the likes of Montreal and Seattle were not on the list. But out my way there extreme leftest clubs (not just talking about supporters groups) the actual clubs themselves are.

    China - Hangzhou Greentown + Beijing Guoan

    Vietnam - Hai Phong FC / ACB Hanoi (Now Hanoi FC)
