Left Wing And Right Wing Football Clubs

Hi, I'm really interested in chinese politically involved supporters.
Could you confirm that Greentown and Guoan fans are mostly left-winged?
Do you know something about Dalian Shide supporters?

Thanks!!

 

Unfortunately (for me, at least! :icon_mrgreen Sampdoria isn't a "left-wing" club: our main groups are absolutely not politically involved (even if our town, Genova, is definitely leftish). The most important one (Ultras Tito) has always a banner saying "Ultras No Politica")...

Just one "minor" group (Rude Boys) is openly left winged (it has a strong friensdship with St. Pauli fans), and organizes every year an "antifa/antiracist tournament" under the sign "love Sampdoria, hate racism".

BTW, we never had right wing infiltrations.

 

Right-wing/Fascist clubs

Shamrock Rovers

what??
shamrock rovers ultras are not right wing. since moving to tallaght the srfc support is primarily working class. while a group of casuals(firm) do say and do anything to annoy other teams they are distinctly different to the ultras. since the ultras movemnt took off in ireland the casuals numbers have dropped substancialy. a subdivision of the srfc ultras called the Boardwalk Bloc are firmly left wing and are very active in promoting their values. they are involced in antirascist, Against Modern Football and por Palestine displays and banners. shamrock rovers are the equivalent of a dublin celtic. apart from derry and cliftonville, the rovers support is probably the most staunchly republican. look at the srfc-linfield game in the setanta sports cup or the celebrations following thatchers death. the labelling of rovers as a right wing club is uninformed and wrong.

 

Where does Inter Milan sit? I'm beginning to like them for some reason.

 

Bayern Munich are quite a right wing club.

 

Their ultras are either right leaning (Boys San, Irriducibili) or apolitical (Viking).

 

What are Borussia Dortmund? I've started watching the highlights of there games and always look out for their scores but I'd like to know their political leanings before making them my 'second club'!

 

German ultras tend to be apolitical, radicalism one way or the other is a bit taboo in German society due to post-war denazification.

Viewing German supporters through the left-right paradigm is a pointless endeavour, aside from the glaringly obvious examples like Saint Pauli (most ironic name for a football club ever, given the leanings of their supporters :smiley-laughing002

 

Its very hard to define. All if not most clubs have a right as well as left element of support, even Celtic as we have saw in the past. You don't have to look very far at a Celtic match and see a flag with the pope on it for example.

*, up until today the thought of a Celtic supporting monarchist was absurd but apparently such a thing exists (I'm reffering to the TC user with the Queen Mary avatar).

EDIT- for the sake of balance, I know a few Socialists/Communists who support Rangers and at times there have been Cuban flags flown at Ibrox but wether it was for political motives or they just liked the colours I'm not sure.

 

Catholicism and monarchy are inextricably linked, it's hardly surprising.

 

I do find it very odd and rather disturbing that many Celtic fans see themselves as Socialists yet glorify and bow down to a leader of a religious sect and blindly listen to his right wing bigoted nonsense. No true socialist or liberal or anyone on the left should follow a leader so blindly, especially not the leader of one of the most disgusting and corrupt organisations in existence, the Catholic church.

Just to make myself clear, I'm not singling out Catholicism, all religion is stupid.

 

Yes, like * bless the pope coming from the same terracing as ooh a up the ra. Tragic

Not singling out Catholics either, all religion is stupid.

 

Aye, no socialist should be religious at all. It's just wrong.

 

Nah mate. Both clubs are more left than right. Not socialist by any means, but the place Liverpool itself is very left wing

 

I don't think any fans are completely Left wing/Right wing...I mean I have to laugh when some Celtic fans call themselves 'left-wing' or 'socialist'.

Especially the guy who said religion and socialism can't mix...socialism is an economic system with many of it's key principles based on Christian social values.

 

I still see the CFC family as a bastion of socialism, religion is another matter for individuals to ponder.

Real political based socialism died with New Labour and with the fall of my one time hero, Tommy Sheridan:icon_mrgreen:

 

Why would you laugh? Would you laugh if a Socialist called Him/Herself a Celtic fan? I don't understand why you think its funny.

How can someone who shuns science and reason and follows a fascist organization call themselves Socialist?

 

most irish club's fans are apolitical or slightly left wing in their outlook. it is important to remeber most irish clubs have a very small support and their ultras and firms are limited to 200 max. while a skinhead/neonazi culture had emerged during the early 2000s this is all but eliminated. the economic downturn has led to a general rise in left wing culture in ireland; eg sinn féin and the socialist partys growth of late.

the antifascist action flag and against modern football logo are prevelant at nearly all irish ground; most notably derry, shamrock rovers, sligo, and pats. derry city fc's Red Partisans would be by far the most left wing group, starry ploughs and hammer and sickles are a regular sight at the brandywell. shamrock rover's boardwalk bloc are also left wing but they are more antirascist and anti modern football then communist. bohemian's' NBB have informal links with some Green Brigade members.

shelbourne fc's briogáid dearg were in trouble earlier this season.for making monkey chants. it is important to remember that you will always get some idiots, the BD is a spent force consisting of less then 100 ppl.

irish republicanism in recent years has become intertwined with socialism. the 3 most republican clubs are derry, cliftonville and shamrock rovers. all of these clubs have been invovled in.sectarian violence particularly against linfeild. however celtic is still considered left wing even though there is undercurents of sectarianism.

all irish clubs with the exception of sligo and cork are located in primarily working class areas, this undoubtedly has led them to have a largely worrrking class and socialist support.

linfield fc are perhaps the furtest right winged club in europe. fans regularly give the hand of ulster salute(same as a * salute). they sing sectarian songs such as the billy boys. they display israeli and whiye south african flags. they are a beacon of fascism in ireland and a shame to football

 

I don't think you really know what a socialist is.

And yes I find it hilarious people saying there this and that...Its hilarious, like you.

'shuns science and reason' is probably the funniest thing I've heard in a long time...it's already been proved that socialism has failed.

 

Wether I know what a socialist is or not, the fact remains. You are an imbecile.
