The picture is clear: the on-site report of the Upland Panorama on what happened at the England – Hungary World Cup qualifiers
After Tuesday’s England – Hungary (1-1) World Cup qualifiers, several British papers will report on the start of the match between the visiting fans and the London policemen. This time we quote from the on-site report of Zsolt Király, the editor-in-chief of the Upland High School, about what happened in the guest sector, with which the events can be sold.
As we reported, the Hungarian national football team reached a sensational 1-1 draw against the English silver medalists in the World Cup qualifiers at Wembley on Tuesday. It is also detailed in our international newspaper reviewthat the meeting was also highlighted in foreign newspapers, due to both the surprising result and the scandal that erupted in the guest sector.
After the match between England and Hungary, several British newspapers – Guardian, BBC, Sky Sports – also announced that
in the guest sector, the scandal erupted at the beginning of the mecca because a fan there was making a racist remark to one of the directors.
As stated, according to Bors, it is again questionable whether this caused a clash between fans and law enforcement. Namely, the According to a Hungarian eyewitness testifying to Bors the directors went to the guest sector because of a molino held high by one of the printers before the start of Meks, rejecting the knee gesture, and a fight broke out after Polish or Hungarian fans in this part of the stands wanted to protect their mole holding the molino as they tried . to be used by law enforcement officers to bring him out.
There was even more news about the misfortune. Zsolt Király, editor-in-chief of the Upland korkep.sk, reported on what happened in the guest sector. King shared his own experiences in his on-site report on korkep.sk along with pictures and videos taken on the spot, below we quote from this article to take points as the author wrote.
“Polish-Hungarian two good friends
Wembley’s guest sector was not just Hungarian. About half of the 800 tickets sold were bought by Polish fans because they came to help the Hungarian team. Yes, the fought, small sports ultras of various Polish clubs, who put the power of the mecks aside, stood up next to the Hungarians, and sang shoulder to shoulder with us, Ria, ria, Hungária, Hajrá, Hungarians! Polish, Hungarian, two good friends… etc. rhymes.
Zip
No, we didn’t whistle the English anthem either, everyone paid special attention to it, but
some English fans whistled the Hungarian anthem. Yes, there was a whistle from the guest sector, both on the knees, just like in Budapest.
Every British fan congratulates every two lines on this form of expression. They say they envy us Central Europeans so that we can still have an opinion. Because they can express more and more displeasure about kneeling before the beginner, for example, because they are immediately on the periphery.
Fighting
After 3 minutes, a mistake by the home side’s left defense allowed Tomasz Kowalski to get through. As it turned out afterwards, he was accused of allegedly making a racist remark to one of the organizers, who challenged them and police officers. Now, in a match like this, maybe the organizers should be more careful and insightful. Because why do so dozens of police officers go into the guest sector full of tough, trained fans to put things in order? They could and could have been known by anyone who looked around, that it was not the sociable, pumpkin-seeded onlookers in the retirement sector, but the ultras who had not done anything wrong.
Thus, it is no wonder that, acting united against the surprised police officers, after seven minutes of hard battle, with a mere fist against the indiscriminate arm of the vipers, rubber sticks, they slammed security out of the sector who never dared to return. Yet the viper hit indiscriminately everyone who came near him.
Police abuse?
Why was such an unreasonable police force needed? Why was it not possible to highlight the alleged perpetrator after the meks, on the way out (as they even did with one or two fans), to record the minutes, to impose the necessary punishment on him, and then to release him?
It was completely unnecessary for the police to rush into such a slap. Especially that the racist accusation is difficult to prove from the outset, and he saw the history of the previous period, the attitude of the English, the question of which side sought the wrong week better. Even if something offensive has been said (beware, it is also against the director several times, not chanting), it is certain that it is not in the stands that we have to solve, in the meantime, against dozens of fighting Polish fans. Whatever happened, in such an atmosphere, the staff should also be more foresighted, avoiding unnecessary conflict. Maybe that’s what the cops saw, they were chased out of the sector and they didn’t come back.
It is even a fact that 90 percent of the fighters were Polish, joined by a few Hungarians.
However, it should not be forgotten that the action was a reaction, a defense (defending their peers) against an overcompensated police action that raised a multitude of questions.
Praise
After that, the atmosphere was tense for a long time, which was occupied by Hungarian and Polish fans for a moment, but was led down by fans to have a beer together at halftime, and at the end of the day to celebrate and take photos.
This is what the news should be about, the Polish-Hungarian spectator friendship, the joint support.
That’s what football means. Finally, it is also worth noting that the English police, organizers, security, support staff were overwhelmingly friendly, helpful, who tried to handle the situation in a friendly, smiling, open manner. Upon request, the equestrian police officers also stood up for the duration of a photo, or an assistant serving on the track is also willing to help capture the memory of the fans.
In closing, the English – Hungarian brought many more memorable moments, unforgettable experiences for players, fans and coaches as well. It is a pity that this is not backwards in the press and in public speech, just as FIFA is again only dealing with possible sanctions.
In Wembley, in any case, we also proved on the track and with our Polish friends in the stands. The Write Anything is a British cover. “
In one of our articles on the case, Mandiner’s permanent legal expert, dr. Zoltán Borbély, lawyer and sports lawyer, shared his thoughts, has a strong opinion on this topic as well, and covers the situation if a non – Hungarian fan in the Wembley guest sector committed the infringement.
The next day of the meeting, Wednesday, Péter Szijjártó, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs, reported that the London police had arrested a Hungarian and a Polish fan. While the International Football Association (FIFA) announced after Tuesday’s Anglo-Hungarian match that it condemned and investigated the riots in England – Hungary and Albania – Poland in Mexico.
However, the Anglo-Hungarian clash is also special from a sports professional point of view, since after England could not win, so
he has lost points for the first time at home in European Championship and World Cup qualifiers since the September 2012 draw against Ukraine.
Well, thanks to the brilliant 1-1 results from the Hungarian point of view, the English national team lost points again in Wembley in the European and World Cup qualifiers after 21 Mekk.
This time, the Hungarian national national showed the face that we could see this year’s European Championship against France and Germany.
