Since then, the group has held several acts of an "anti-fascist" character, one of the most recent was the celebration of "Day of the Immigrant", inviting more than one hundred Africans from the Afro-Basque organization.

Bukaneros ultras of Rayo Vallecano (Spain).

Bukaneros is a rayista collective formed around 1992, when the team of our neighborhood was fought in the noble categories of our football. All these years of history have been based on the struggle and defense of our team, our neighborhood and our way of understanding it always clean of racism and fascism, values ​​as far from us as what the Rayo Vallecano represents.
We want a lightning bolt, fighter, delivered. The A. Rayo Vallecano symbol and pride of the working class that every Sunday goes to the New Stadium of Vallekas to see pure football and escape from everyday reality. That is why in all our material only appears the old, and for us authentic, shield of our team. We do not want a Ray for advertising or propaganda purposes, only the one that once was and that sometimes regains its true spirit when it moves away from other interests.
For that reason we do not understand watching a game in Vallekas sitting in our locality or a game as a visitor watching it on television. For each one of us the color franjirojo means to follow it, to animate it and to raise it next to each companion of the group, companion of good and bad moments in so many hours of coexistence.
Following the path of the most veteran of the group, those who started this magnificent journey, the group has evolved in number and organization to reach several hundred members for some seasons and agglutinate, above all, a hundred people willing to follow Rayo and identify fully with Bukaneros. Prepare the meeting next Sunday, share the previous match with the rest of the group, cheer until burst, be present in the next trip and defend what we are always with a proper style and well defined.

Irriducibili ultras of La Lazio (Italy)

Irriducibili is the ultra group of SS Lazio. They are located in the North curve of the Olympic Stadium in Rome, along with other minority groups but of the same ideology. They have approximately No change 433 members.They are considered ultra rightist and nationalist. In the parties they show banners with swastikas, they make the roman or fascist salute characteristic of the fascist Italy (this salutation was performed at some time by former team player Paolo Di Canio towards them), and shouts towards the AS Roma for considering it "a team of blacks and tribune of malignant Jews ».The association of radical groups began to occur in the 60s, formed mainly by young groups and that received different names, such as: «Tupamaros» or «Eagles». Throughout the 70s more groups will be created, and in 1976 the groups come together in one. In 1978 the first group of ultras amateurs with a marked political tinge emerged: «Vikings».In the year 1992, the Dutch player Aron Winter approached the Irriducibili stand to give them his shirt after Lazio defeated Roma in a derby. However, the radicals rejected it because Winter was not only black but also Jewish.     During a match against Roma in 1998, the Irriducibili displayed banners reading slogans such as: "Auschwitz is your homeland; the ovens, your houses »or« Team of blacks, tier of Hebrews ».     In 2011 the German player Miroslav Klose signed for Lazio.

Marseille Trop Puissant ultras of Olympique de Marsella (France).Incident in San Mames (Bilbao,Spain)

For some time now, the security forces have been following the draws of European competitions closely. For them the concept of hot balls has a different meaning from what Spanish fans may have, more outstanding to avoid the coconuts of the hype in the next round. In your case, experts in public order understand by an easy match that the visiting team is not accompanied by ultras to worry about. From that perspective of security, Olympique de Marseille is one of the hottest balls on the continent as it was revealed again this Thursday in Bilbao.His house is the Vélodrome de Marseille in which different ultra groups coexist united by the OM and for his anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-Jacobin ideology ... "Marseille is not France", some banners are said in their parties. "Welcome to France", their rivals respond to continue with a mutual provocation, which has led to eternal confrontations and bitter rivalries, mainly with the radicals of Paris Saint Germain (PSG). They are located in both curves of the stadium, behind the goals. There live the Marseille Trop Puissant, the Commando Ultra 84, the Fanatics, South Winners ... there are several, each with its banner and its leaders. Most of these groups were born in the eighties and early nineties, the stage of greatest splendor of the ultra movement of football, when violence was rampant without any limitations or sanctions. Those are the years also of better sporting results of Marseille. In 1993 he won the European Cup and right after was accused of rigging a local game so he was stripped of his last league title, he was expelled from European competitions and was sanctioned with a relegation to second division. His ultras are a faithful reflection of the port city of southern France: in the racial question, miscegenation prevails, hosting followers from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and other countries with a colonial past. The flags of Maghrebi nations are common, unlike the French tricolor, which does not exist in the Vélodrome. Unlike the day of the visit of the Spartak in Moscow, this Thursday there were no incidents between hobbies. This is despite the fact that the relationship between the Marseille's ultras and the Athletic Club's is not good. The Herri Norte Taldea are twinned with the radical followers of the Girondins de Bordeaux, called Ultramarines, also from the extreme left. In February 2016, during another visit of the Marseille ultras to Bilbao, there were clashes in which the Gauls had the support of other ultras of Basque local groups confronting Herri Norte, as this newspaper reminds one of those involved in those unrest.                                Incidents at the Vicente Calderón:It was the 2008 season when the kick drummed Atlético de Madrid with Olympique de Marseille on the second day of the group stage of the European Cup. The meeting was held on October 1, 2008 in Vicente Calderón between strong security measures given the large displacement of Gaul followers to the capital of Spain. It had been less than a year since the Zapatero government had passed the Law against Violence in Sport and then there was much talk of the need to pursue the exhibition of fascist symbols in stadiums. As was usual in the previous rojiblanco fief, the visiting supporters were located on top of the North Fund. There they displayed a banner that had a skull with a scarf. Riot officers from the National Police - perhaps ignoring the prevailing ideology among the followers of Marseille - proceeded to try to withdraw it. Perhaps the police confused it with a skull of the Nazi SS Totenkopts, very present in the symbology of groups of the extreme right. The resistance of the French citizens to give up their banner gave rise to a violent confrontation with the police and agents of the private security of the club. There were attacks, punches, injuries, throwing of chairs and at least one detainee: Santos Mirasierra. With his past and his family in Spain, he was one of the leaders of the Commando Ultra 84. All the radical radical groups of the left quickly converted him into a hero. Or a martyr. It was usual to display banners in the stadiums asking for their release. The trajectory of the ultras of Marseille has made them a benchmark for other groups of their same ideology, also in Spain. This is the case of Bukaneros (Rayo Vallecano) or Biris Norte (Seville), among others.In his trial he was represented by Erlantz Ibarrondo, a regular lawyer for members of the Spanish ultra-left. Finally Santos Mirasierra was sentenced by the Provincial Court of Madrid to three and a half years in jail for assaulting one of the police officers. Due to these events, he was barely imprisoned for six months in his country, between July and December 2010. He was released from jail with an electronic device and a ban on access to a stadium until the end of his sentence in 2013. With many more gray hairs and kilos on Mirasierra He walked this Thursday with his ultras comrades through the streets of Bilbao. UEFA, however, made a different assessment of those facts. He considered that the National Police had exceeded and as a measure closed the Vicente Calderón the next two parties. That decision is still remembered now in the heart of the rojiblanca fans, whose radicals whistle in protest when the anthem of the Champions before the matches of this competition.

Ultras of Hamburgo and the descent to second (Germany).

Although throughout the match the fans supported their team, looking for the miracle, before the referee announced the end of the match, the ultras showed all their anger. The smoke that formed in the stadium was enormous. The referee stopped the match, which was not resumed until 20 minutes later.

Frente Atletico ultras of Atletico de Madrid (Spain)

The Athletic Front is an ultra amateur group of the Club Atlético de Madrid founded with that name in 1982. It had around 2,500 members in 2014,2, making it the largest group of Spanish football.Its origin can be traced back to 1968, when the Fondo Sur boulder was created.The Frente Atlético was officially founded in 1982.

Diffuse Galaxy ultras of LA Galaxy (USA)

An ultra diffuse galaxy (UDG) is an extremely low luminosity galaxy first discovered in the nearby Virgo Cluster by Allan Sandage and Bruno Binggeli in 1984. Such a galaxy may have the same size and mass as the Milky Way but a visible star count of only 1%. Their lack of luminosity is due to the lack of star-forming gas in the galaxy. This results in old stellar populations.
Some ultra diffuse galaxies found in the Coma Cluster, about 330 million light years from Earth, have diameters of 60 kly (18 kpc) (more than half the size of our galaxy) with 1% of the stars of the Milky Way Galaxy. The distribution of ultra diffuse galaxies in the Coma Cluster is the same as luminous galaxies; this suggests that the cluster environment strips the gas from the galaxies, while allowing them to populate the cluster the same as more luminous galaxies. The similar distribution in the higher tidal force zones suggests a larger dark matter fraction to hold the galaxies together under the higher stress.
Dragonfly 44, a ultra diffuse galaxy in the Coma Cluster, is one example. Observations of the rotational speed suggest a mass of about one trillion solar masses, about the same as the mass of the Milky Way. This is also consistent with about 90 globular clusters observed around Dragonfly 44. However, the galaxy emits only 1% of the light emitted by the Milky Way. On 25 August 2016, astronomers reported that Dragonfly 44 may be made almost entirely of dark matter. In 2018 the same authors reported the discovery of a dark matter-free UDG (NGC 1052-DF2, which was already identified on photoplates by Igor Karachentsev) based on velocity measurements of ~10 globular cluster system. The authors concluded that this may rule out modified gravity theories like MOND, but other theories such as the External Field Effect are also possibilities.

Hooligans ultras of Manchester United (England)

England "Hooliganism" was born in England at the end of the 19th century in London thanks to a drunkard named Edward Hooligan, but this movement has undergone a change throughout the 20th century. If last week we presented the report about the ultras (if you're interested you can read it here) in Spain, this week, in our space dedicated to the hobby, we talk about the "hooligans". In 1877, at the height of the Victorian era, the city of London was a large industrial center where the working classes on the periphery of the Thames worked in a regime of semi-slavery before going to drink in taverns. On the other hand, a man from the South-East rested daily to get drunk and hit with those workers, his name was Edward Hooligan. It would soon become fashionable, in the English slums, the word 'hooligan', associated with a stereotype of a vague, drunken man who likes to fight. It was in 1890 when the newspaper "The Times" recorded the word "hooliganism" to qualify a group of young people who followed in the footsteps of our protagonist. In just five years, this violent phenomenon began to be organized in street gangs, and not only in London, cities such as Manchester, Birmingham or Liverpool also saw the rise of groups of ultras, football fans and the tavern. All the teams in the United Kingdom have their group of "hooligans", today in "Colgados" we go over the most ultras groups in England.The Red Army. Founded in 1970, they are the "hooligans" of Manchester United. In 1974-1975, when United went down to the First Division, it was considered one of the most problematic ultras.

Ajax' fanzine De Ajax Ster, otherwise known as DAS, reported on the development of the row, despite the low turnout of the ultras during the match. However, two weeks later, on 25 February 2001, the group celebrated its first big success when a large gathering managed to silence the visiting crowd during the home match against FC Utrecht.
