there were pictures of them making monkey gestures at our black players. And not sure about the ethnic similarities or differences but they booed Kyrgiakos the entire night solely because of his nationality.
The Macedonian / Greece dispute runs deep -
"The Greek government refuses to recognize its neighbor's constitutional name, the Republic of Macedonia, which it sees as a thinly veiled bid to lay claim to three of its northern districts, a region known as Greek Macedonia. After Macedonia declared independence in 1991, Greece prevented it from joining the United Nations and imposed an economic blockade that nearly strangled the fledgling country.
Greece also vetoed Macedonia's bid to join NATO last year and is blocking its admission to the European Union until it changes its name to the Republic of Skopje, the Slavic Republic of Macedonia or something similar."
It does indeed, one of my best mates is marrying a Macedonian girl next year (am heading overthere for the wedding next summer) and I mentioned the booing of Krygiakos to her at the weekend and she was not at all surprised, in fact she applauded it!
Looking forward to taking time out from takeover talk and watching the game this evening!
