What was the reaction to the banner?

I wasn't there but apparently there wasn't any major reaction either way. I've heard that someone with a peice of card saying "Refugees Welcome" was confronted by a bloke in a Stone Island top who told him to take it down but he ignored him.

Turns out "doing the poznan" now means "being a complete bastard"

(I wouldn't read the comments section of that article, it's dispiriting in the extreme)

Ultras Tifo has some decent posts on the forums, it's good for following the displays of various ultra groups, but the politics section leaves a lot to be desired, it basically revolves around reductive ideas about race and nation that sound like they could've been part of a Goebbels press release

Just to give this one last bump, the page expires in the next couple of days https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/#/villanssupportrefugees
