Supporters of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. adopted the nickname "Yid" (or "Yiddo") and often identify as "Yid Army". Used as a badge of pride by the supporters of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. in support of the Jewish communities based near to the North London football club, such usage is not without controversy.

thenry,

Lets get one thing straight, l have been a Spurs supporter for more than 40 years, they have always been associated with the Jewish community, this is why there nickname begins with a 'y - army'.

I think you should get your facts straight about Spurs fans 'shouting there mouths off', Spurs have a strict policy that if any of there fans misbehave abroad, they face serious consequences from the club.

In my time there have been lots of trouble abroad when foreign clubs with there fascist fans will do anything to cause trouble towards fans ie the trouble with Feyenoord many years ago.

Spurs have a very proud record in North London towards the Jewish community, l am not of that faith but l have no problems with that, yes l do shout that nickname in the ground, BUT not outside it, can you imagine the aggro if the police arrest 35.000 fans.

Sorry to be so blunt, but we have a proud record abroad and most 'arrangement's of travel are carried out under the directions of club stewards.

Put it this way Spurs played Cardiff City approx two to three years ago, and l have never been so scared in my life with there fans, when Cardiff travelled to WHL, the club had TSG outside the ground, and waited for the City fans to arrive.

When they arrived, it was like a war zone of Cardiff fans wanting to take on the Spurs supporters, l was petrified, and l can handle myself - but this was London, so it can happen anywhere.

The Spurs fans just stood there - and l was one of them.

That is to say, that it seems a little extreme - If I smacked someone in the face every time they were a little bit mouthy....... well, I'd probably be a happier person, but that's not the point

Your right being spuds I'd say if anything they were to lenient with them.

You're right about the link in post one to

Did France ever deal with its anti Semitism after WWII? Seemed to me an awful lot of countries brushed their own complicity under the carpet and were happy for,Germany to accept full responsibility.

It is the second time that Tottenham fans have been targeted in apparent anti-Semitic attacks in the last three months.
In November, fans of the club, which has a traditionally strong Jewish following, were ambushed inside a pub in Rome on the eve of their game against Lazio.
Eyewitnesses inside The Smoking Dog said the thugs attacked the bar at 10.18pm on Wednesday night and then returned shortly after to launch another assault on the pub, which was damaged extensively as a result.
The pub's landlord, Dave Eales, from Retford, said the pub was "rammed with Tottenham fans watching the Champions League on the television. The front of the pub, which is made up of reinforced glass, was attacked by 20-25 people."
He added: "They threw projectiles through the windows. There was a stand off. They didn't get in to the bar. Then it calmed down. Then they came back a second time and it all started again.
"There were three injured Tottenham fans taken away by ambulance. One of them had a head injury. I'm not sure how bad it was."

There you go then ,a hoard of masked men doing nazi salutes to spurs fans in france would most definitely be classed as antisemitic .

papa smurf · 21-02-2013, 19:23

i look at it this way- football is not a game that intelligent people watch

so when you gather a group of knuckle dragger's in one place the outcome is trouble .

thenry · 21-02-2013, 19:26

not all supporters are inbreds.

Lyon have apologised to Tottenham following a violent attack on a number of their fans that left three Spurs supporters in a local hospital.

Just come off the Sky News web site
