Scandal in Tirana: Albanian fans display insulting banner against Serbia

A big scandal was created by the fans of Albania when they interrupted the game against Poland on Tuesday evening because of a goal they received in the 77th minute and which set them back and into the third place in their qualifying group for the next World Cup!

At the same time, the home fans displayed a derogatory banner against Serbia, which read "FCK SRB", and which probably has to do with the recent events involving the Football Federation of Serbia (FSS) in the case of Xherdan Shaqiri.

The FSS has sent a letter to FIFA asking that this Swiss national team player, of Albanian origin, be removed from football, because he was draoed in a jacket with insignia of the terrorist organization "KLA" ("UCK", so-called "Kosovo Liberation Army"). This happened after the Switzerland v Northern Ireland qualifier.

As for the rioting of Albanian fans against Poland, the match was interrupted for half an hour when the players retreated to their dressing rooms, but the result did not change once the game resumed. Hooligans threw bottles and other hard objects at the guests, and that was just the culmination of several hours of violent behavior by local fans who weere preparing to "lynch" the guests long before the start of the match.

Albanian fans first booed the anthem of Poland, and ten minutes before the goal, threw missiles at Piotr Zielinski, who was preparing to take a corner, so the referee stopped the match even until the conditions for play were met.
