| Get a grip Romania | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| After the recent vile xenophobic abuse towards Istv�n Kov�cs by | |
| U Craiova 1948 SA "fans" where he had to stop the game & moved | |
| the teams to the technical area while messages went out over the | |
| tannoy to cut it out. Game was delayed for 7mins. | |
| Today we have. | |
| AS FC Universitatea Cluj - ACS Sepsi OSK Sf�ntu Gheorghe | |
| The Universitatea fans used the match against OSK Sepsi as an | |
| anti-Hungarian demonstration, the hard core ultras almost | |
| exclusively addressed Hungarians and Hungary with chants and | |
| written messages - like the Romanian occupation of Budapest in | |
| 1919 and the date of Trianon, or "Sz�kelyf�ld does not exist". | |
| After 25 minutes, the referee Sebastian Coltescu got tired of | |
| the increasingly vile chanting and a warning was made via the | |
| tannoy, he then took both teams into the dressing room for 10 | |
| mins while appeals were ongoing for it to stop. Should have | |
| sent the riot police in & removed every single one of them... | |
| When the game was about to restart the ultras started chanting | |
| "Out of the country with the Hungarians!" ref just shrugged with | |
| a WTF expression, but the decent Universitatea fans started | |
| whistling at the ultras to shut them up. Thank you to them. The | |
| referee himself is from Craiova, less than 3% of Hungarians | |
| there and where you expect this behaviour - he was clearly | |
| annoyed by it today and well done to him for the no tolerance. | |
| I'm more surprised and saddened by this happening in Cluj | |
| because it is one of the areas where Hungarians and Romanians | |
| have mixed quite freely, I think it's around 15% Hungarian | |
| there. Sepsi are from Sz�kely Land/Szeklerland inhabited mainly | |
| by Sz�kelys, who have identified as Hungarian since the 12th | |
| century. It was handed over to Romania along with Transylvania | |
| as part of the Trianon Treaty in 1920, it was returned to | |
| Hungary in 1940 along with northern Transylvania. Soviet & | |
| Romanian occupation in 1944 saw it forcibly given to Romania and | |
| the row goes on to this day! During the Trianon anniversary this | |
| year the Romanian government spokesman said something along the | |
| lines of if Hungary want Transylvania & Szeklerland back they | |
| can have them, they're full of Bozgors. [emoji16] The FRF & in | |
| particular the referee department have made great strides in | |
| cutting it out & have worked closely with the MLSZ but it keeps | |
| rearing it's ugly head. Sepsi are funded by the Hungarian | |
| government/MLSZ/MOL and widely seen as a Hungarian club. Like | |
| FC DAC 1904 Dunajska Streda in Slovakia their club song is | |
| N�lk�led - a song of Hungarian unity. | |
| Sepsi won 1-0. Hajr� Sepsi! | |
| Sepsi are not whiter than white at the SuperKupa final their | |
| fans booed the Romanian national anthem, the Romanians responded | |
| by booing Sz�kely Himnusz. [emoji52] | |

| Wasn't Sebastian Coltescu the 4th official for the PSG game | |
| which had to be abandoned due to a comment he was alleged to | |
| have made? | |
