this is the video when Persebaya supporters were shot crying gasses by the police, and were punch and kicked.
3 june, a small kid, Purwo Adhi Utomo, died because of that incident, others wounded(mostly woman and children)
23 July, they face QPR
Our Country needs many support. we're trying to sort our situation, working and repairing broken things. Maybe you can feel this too. You know that time when liverpool made the mess and you as champions can't enter the european stage?
How you english people try to be more organized and educate your supporters.
The situation in Indonesia is much worse than that. But we are learning and progressing
I'll talk about the supporters
before this, maybe 5-7 years ago, the bonek - (Persebaya supporter) were known as food thiefs robbers, train hijackers, stone throwing to houses, and gang up to fight with other supporters.
We, bobotoh, Persib Bandung are one of their most hated enemies,
I can';t count the incidents and don't remember how many died.
2007 was it?, an incident at our national stadium, caused a bobotoh killed
but 2009...Because of a certain incident, when we were both cheated, we became friendly and cleared the grudge against us
Untill now, you can see bonek-bobotoh, green and blue side by side at Persib and Persebaya games, wether it;s Persebaya vs Persib or Persib/Persebaya facing other sides.
and then Pasoepati-Bonek
You know Bonek likes train hijacking and throwing stones to houses near the rail
Off course this fuels revenge
And Pasoepati of Persis solo, is one of them
Whenever the train loaded by bonek passes Solo
there will be stone throwing war of Bonek(away) vs Pasoepati(home)
For that reason, The train was commanded by the police to never stop at Solo and run at top speed.
but, a year ago, in 2011. Dunno how, a small group from bonek and Pasoepati suddenly decided to have peace. a small group of bonek carry the Pasoepati syal, waving it in the stadium, and at the convoy.
Was that process hard, ofcourse, no one said it was easy. The ones who supported this peace idea were humiliated, ostracized, treated as a treacher, were called by bad names, their inbox full of dirty words and such. There were also cases the opponent supporters don't believe it and chase them, throwing stones at them. But after those blood and tears, those hard work, even not 100% at least there's a significant group that support the peace between Pasoepati-Bonek.
Bonek also keep moving on, from a supporter known for brutality and cruelty, to be a good supporter, buying tickets, pay for the train, pay for the food they take, doesn't cause havoc and chaos when Persebaya have games, so know merchants and shops feel safe to keep open, and the train company doesn't feel scared their train wagons destroyed.
Topping of that. Our country has a dualism, the PSSI (legal FA) vs KPSI(Illegal organization). This KPSI has hands on many clubs with their person on the managemement so they rebel against PSSI, have strong political bakup and "unlimited" funds, while the legal PSSI has many debts left by its predessor and is in a very weak position. many Indonesia who don't know what's going on and have been brainwashed support the KPSI and blame PSSI for all the the football problem.
The clubs in the legal league have many players whom salaries haven't be paid, and PSSI is blamed for that. With no cash in hand and the backing of sponsors and investors who are scared, the staff and officials are also unable to be paid. They only have little money from people who know what's right and stand to defend PSSI.
That's the situation
