Just the title of this sift made me laugh out loud - awesome stuff!

If you think this is something, you should see how they react when a coffee contest video gets disqualified.

and then the banner caught fire and they all burnt to death.

That banner looks oddly familiar!

Reminds me of the time we saw a game with @messenger *doublepromote the *fire!

Problem, Officer?

looks like security is shit at THAT stadium.. that flag wasn't exactly something you could smuggle under your jacket or in a beverage cooler.

Is there significance to that tarp and the holes cut into it? I understand flares were banned and I know what that meme is, but is there more information to help non-sports fans understand? Is there a history of Turkish trolling at soccer matches? Did they cover themselves to obscure those that fired flares? Do soccer fans typically cover stands with tarps?

Wild. Much more entertaining than soccer.

That's teamwork.

Not a long-time football fan, but I can answer some questions.

Yes, at least in Turkey, football fans occasionally use banners on this scale, sometimes for political/environmental causes, and sometimes just giant flags. The rest of your questions I can't comment on.>> ^poolcleaner:
