Getty Images Germany upped the ante in the game of soccer hooliganism over the weekend, as Hoffenheim blasted Borussia with loudspeakers, and Cologne fans pelted Schalke supporters with, um, feces. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, indeed. From The Local:
The police confirmed on Tuesday that at least one person in the Köln fan block had been seen ‘placing’ faeces into a plastic beer glass and then throwing it at his rivals. The solid organic missile was followed by at least two urine-filled plastic beer glasses.
“We as a club obviously distance ourselves from these people,” said a spokesman for 1 FC Köln fans. “This behaviour is not acceptable. There cannot be two opinions on this.”
Way to take a stand, dude.
