Connections between football fans...

[Melanicus 5,208]

I'd really like to know connections between fans around the world! I've noticed it's especially stron in Balkan, when Red Star are supporting Olympiacos and so on...

I've found this on youtube:

Death to Partizan, Fluminense to death! Red Star to the glories, glories to Flamengo!

Hug a fan of Flamengo, Brazil!

I really don't see connection between Flamengo and Red Star...

Can someone explain me meaning of Ultras, Torcidas and so on?

Thanks.

Red Star legend Dejan Petkovic played for Flamengo , he is nos Red Star scout in South Africa, and he brings them players from there, but most of them are from Flamengo, really stupid but that's Red Star.

As I'm fairly young I can't tell this from personal experience, but I read and heard that there's a connection between Partizan and Chelsea. It dates from 1980ies I think. Chelsea was popular here and some people were cheering for the club while they were in the 2nd league. Petar Borota was also the one who attracted a lot of Serbia fans to CFC. I've also seen a few flags like Chelsea Serbia, Partizan&Chelsea and Gravediggers&Headhunters. The connection between Partizan and Chelsea has been slowly disappearing as Headhunters disappeared and rules got stricter in England but it's still there, though pretty weak.

Still, lots of Partizan fans at least like Chelsea. Kezman, Rajkovic and Matic before along with Ivanovic now have also helped the popularity of CFC here.

Also, when Partizan played CL last year and they faced Arse at Emirates, there were around 30 Chelsea fans who came and sang with Grobari for Partizan

Petar Borota RIP. We used to love him, mad nutter that he was. eg bouncing the ball off the crossbar during a game
