INTERVIEW WITH THE FIRST LEADER OF GLADIATOR FIRM 96

Famous Russian hooligan “Killerem” from Spartak Moscow.

In cooperation with hooligans.cz we are happy to introduce an interview with one of the best Russian football hooligans from the years 2000-2010 and the first leader of Gladiator Firm 96, group to Spartak Moscow, which recently celebrated 17 years on the scene. This person made ​​a substantial contribution in Russia for fair play in arranged fights. More in the article

1) Hey! How old are you and how long have to attended matches of Spartak Moscow?

I am Vasiliy the “Killer”. I’m 35. I started supporting Spartak Moscow when I was 5. In 1995 I started coming to the stadium and became part of the supporters’ scene, also outside the stadium. Now, my two sons stand beside me at the matches – this makes me truly proud.

2) Can you introduce the Gladiators Firm 96? What are your greatest achievements?

The Gladiators appeared in 1996. They were the guys who did not want to be among the Flint’s Crew, the first official hooligan group for Spartak supporters. The Flint’s followed the “English” format, while the Gladiators wanted to mix the styles of Italy, the Balkans and Russia.

Gradually, the Gladiators developed their own unique Russian way. In the 90’s Gladiators took part in nearly all the fights with the opponents of Spartak: CSKA, Dynamo, Zenith. In the beginning of the century the Gladiators experienced decline, but came back to the scene by 2004 / 2005 and remain among top hooligan Spartak supporters.

I joined the Gladiators in 1998. There have been many fights since then. The most significant fights for me took place in Moscow: Sokolniki-1998 (till now, considered the biggest fight in Russia, with over 1000 people taking part from each side). “Kitai-gorod-2001”, “The year 1905 street-2006”, “Severyanin-2007”. Those were the great fights against CSKA: draw / win / loss / loss.

In 2004 we had a fight with Dynamo hooligans on “Prospect Mira” [ironically translates as the “Peace street”]. It was probably the cruelest fight of all which brought to its participants both health problems and issues with the police. There was another fight at Volzhskaya in 2007.

In 2005, in St. Petersburg we had a “meeting” with Zenit supporters at “Prospect Bolshevikov”. We won – and the Gladiators put a lot of effort into this victory. There were loads more local and massive fights, but I name the ones that were important to me and were the best ones.

For more history and ideology of the Gladiators, go to www.gf96.com. Starting from 2010, the football supporting culture in Russia significantly changed – we entered a phase of forest fights – Polish format. This is like some kind of sport, and it’s very popular. So popular that only the best Polish firms can compete with the top Russian ones.

3) Who are you friends with? Do you maintain contacts with Lech Poznan?

Some guys maintain personal contact with Lech Poznan, nothing official. They are very strong guys, top hooligans in Europe.

Officially the Gladiators are the “brothers” of the Ultraboys (Red Star Belgrade,Serbia). Historically, Russia and Serbia are very close to each other. We have one religion, similarity in culture and people’s national identity. This autumn, we celebrate 9th start of our relationship. The result of our special relationship is the friendship between Spartak and Red Star. At our stadium grand opening, our club’s President invited our Serbian friends to play. It was a big honor for all of us.

4) How do you stand in comparison with rivals such as CSKA, Dynamo or Zenith?

The Gladiators are among Top 10 in Russia and To p3 hooligan firm of Spartak.

5) What is your view on the situation in Ukraine?

We have civil war in Ukraine – and this is a tragedy. I support Novorussiya (South East of Ukraine) which fights against Ukrainian military forces. For you to understand the situation better, here are the examples: Serbians cannot support Croatians or Albanians in any conflicts against the Serbs (this is not possible), true Polish people will never forget the massacre in Volyn done by the Ukrainians (and will never call them brothers). Same for me – I am fully for the Russians. They are the heroes fighting for their land, their national identity. Talking about the current situation on a broader scale – Europe is trying to fight Russia with sanctions, while it is ordinary people who take the brunt – in Poland, Czech Republic, France etc. It is strange to see accusations of Russia getting the Malaysian Boeing down, while the official results have not been announced yet, have they?

Clearly, Europe or the States are not interested in learning the truth, all they need is the victory in “informational” war. Strangely, coming from a country with allegedly tough regime, I can read and watch Russian, Ukrainian, European or American channels or newspapers, while there are no alternative sources of information in Europe. This leads to you, Europeans, discussing a hundred people who died in Kiev, while there are thousands victims in Donbass. By the way, no Russian channels are shown in Ukraine. And frankly, there is no freedom of voice or democratic values declared by the West. It’s just about one oligarch clique fighting against another one.

The current group took power in the bloody way and is leading country into crisis, chaos, civil war and dependence on the West. This is what happens in Ukraine. Novorossiya’s flags are not separatists’ flags.

However, so far only Zenith fan-group showed their official support for Novorossiya, the rest are either silent or stated their neutrality. The same position was voiced by Fratria (Ultras group of Spartak) – movement uniting a vast number of hooligans and ultras. Based on their decision, in the Fratria fan zone there can be no Novorossiya’s flags or anything supporting Ukraine. This happened after Ivan Bogdanov from Serbia displayed the Donetsk Republic flag during the match that was held at the stadium grand opening here in Moscow.

My opinion is that showing neutrality now is like showing your back to the Russian people in Donbass. Why are some Russians so reluctant to support Novorossiya? Because it is supported by Putin. We have this paradox situation: If Putin says “yes”, you have to say “no”, just to contradict him. What if he says the right things? Do you have to say the wrong ones just to follow this logic? Putin is a politician, and today he supports Novorossia and tomorrow he might change his mind.

What remains stable is the support we ought to give as a country to the Russian people, independent from the situation. Protection of the Russian people is the main task of Russia.

Imagine: just some hundreds kilometers away from you, in the 21 st century, there are people who are shooting, robbing, killing and raping! And this is accepted by the EU! I believe that one day you will learn the tough truth about what is happening. In both armies, there are some European representatives, fighting for money, truth or beliefs. Who will be the winner? Of course, the Russians – this was always the way. However, on the global scale there will be no winners. Coming back to Novorossiya’s flags on the tribunes of Spartak stadium – yes, they are there and there they will be. Not in Fratria’s sector, but there is more to Spartak fans than Fratria. Hopefully, in the nearest future things will change, and we will see a gigantic banner in the Fratria sector, devoted to Igor Strelkov, the great commander of home guards.

6) Spartak is followed by many good bands, is there any rivalry between you and other groups?

At present, Spartak has two powerful hooligan groups which are competing for the first position in the red-and-white movement. These are the “School” and the “Union”. The Gladiators are not as vast in size and therefore occupy the third place of this informal rating.

7) What is your view on the hooligan scene in Europe? Who is a good opponent for you?

I personally have great respect for movements which have more depth in them, on top of the support of their favorite club or city. As long as they stand for their country, historical and moral values, they have my respect, and I don’t give a sh*t as to how good their performance is on the stadium.

8) Was the movie “Okolofutbalu” inspired by the real events? Was it favored by the Russian public? Did it bring any income? Will there be a sequel?

As a viewer, I liked the film–it was not top of the cash-box, but overall it was not bad. There are some real events from the Russian football scene, some were made too soppy (to be liked by the girls). Some episodes were filmed with real people who originally took part in the events. I remember there was an episode when the red-and-white team made an ambush for Dynamo Moscow top group. One of the main characters in the film uses my words from a real situation. Both in reality and in the film, he caught an opponents’ scout before the fight and told him: “Now, you will attack them with us”. That was a joint action of the Gladiators and the Flints Crew. In reality, the fight did not take place, as one of the Gladiators got out too early and shouted “Red and white!”. After these words, most of the top Dynamo guys (apart from two), ran away.

9) Have you ever been to the Czech Republic for football (hoolgan.cz is from Czech Republic)? What are your memories?

I have not been to the Czech Republic. But I happened to be in Slovakia, in Zilina, where Spartak played the local team. First I came to Bratislava, it has an old center which is typical of the small European cities. Like in many other cities, the area around railway station demands attention, I saw Soviet architecture, gypsies, dirt and greyness. I much more liked Zilina, as it was small and quiet. I can only imagine the reaction of the locals when we entered their world for 2 days! In Zilina, we arranged for a special meeting to exchange opinions with the local hooligan group. They had no chance against us… I saw a lot of Europeans traveling both for football and on private matters. But my most favorite route is Moscow–Belgrade. These two cities are carved in my heart forever!!!

 

INTERVIEW WITH BLUE HUNTA (LEVSKI SOFIA, BULGARIA)

We spoke with the leader of Blue Hunta group of Levski Sofia, here's what he said:

Hello, introduce yourself.

– My name is Ivo. I'm a bit older than the other guys in the group, so they have accepted me as a leader, but I'm not acting like some boss.

I devoted myself to the idea “Levski” and in particular Blue Hunta. I want everything to be perfect, but it is not always as I wish.

Tell us more about Blue Hunta.

– The group was made in 2010. It is one of the youngest groups in Sector B. We are currently between 30-40 people. Our age range from 18 to 25. We have our own club in downtown Sofia. Our vies are far-right and we hate people with weak characters, such as “women in men clothes”.

What kind of people are members of the group? What is your position in the sector?

– In our group there are both ultras and hooligans. Everyone is trying to help with whatever he can. Currently our ultras guys are doing most of the choreographies in the sector. Another group is taking care to organise the singing – South Division, and they are doing great job. The biggest group is Sofia West.

Tell us about the activity of your group outside the stadium.

– We are very active in and outside the stadium. Ultra-view boys are doing a lot of graffiti, while the hools are doing same good job by terrorising our biggest enemy in pink(CSKA). Actually they don't skip to fight everyone, we hate pretty much everyone in here. We also gather often to discuss different ideas.

TWhat is your attitude towards others in the sector, and whats theirs towards you?

– We feel everyone in our sector as brother, but we think not everyone likes us, but we dont care

Best tifo made by you?

– The best is yet to come.

How do you see the future of the group?

– To continue in the same spirit as now. Growing more and more as a group and becoming stronger and stronger.

Where do you want Levski to play away in Europe?

– We prefer the Balkans, because we don't like any of the countries around us. Everyone on Balkan hate everyone, you know. But wherever we have to play, we will fight all the way for our team. So far our group had no loss in any visit.

Do you support the National Team of Bulgaria?

– Yes, of course. Long live Bulgaria.

Your final words?

– Thanks for interest in us, greetings to your site and have a nice holidays to all the readers. Forza Levski!

They are closer to the Caribbean than hosting the Europa League: Ultrase Sportinga is waiting for a hell of a journey of 80 hours to the other end of the world! (PHOTO)

Sporting fans will have to make good efforts to reach Astana in the first match of the 1/16 final of the Europa League

European roaming in Kazakhstan is often a nightmare for fans. This was something that the Red Star fans could have experienced this season when they visited Irtis from Pavlodar in the 2nd round of qualifications for the Europa League.

Then Delije had to cross a distance of more than 5,000 kilometers, where only a flight with a passing time lasts for about seven hours, and the road is a special adventure, and it takes at least 70 hours, not counting the restraining at the border.

Now even more interesting adventure is waiting for Ultra Sporting from Lisbon, who will play against Astana in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League. The Kazan capital will be welcomed by a team from Portugal on February 15, while the reunion will be on February 22 in Lisbon.

It will be the longest journey for a team in the history of European competitions, as the distance between the cities is 6,173 km, which means that the record is the same before Benfica and Astana, where the distance is equal.

For supporters it is even more, especially for those who do not have money for air tickets, because the way in one direction lasts 80 hours! What will be a special problem for all fans who decide on this is that at the time in northern Kazakhstan there will be a sharp winter with very low temperatures.

Many Sporting fans joked that they were closer to go to the Caribbean than visiting Astana.

This, of course, is true, as the Caribbean is closer to Lisbon for 100 kilometers. And much warmer in February than Astana.

Still some of the distance away from the 1/16 final of the Europa League:

Nice – Moscow 3,000 kilometers

Glasgow – St. Petersburg 2.066 kilometers

Copenhagen – Madrid 2.000 kilometers

Belgrade – Moscow 1.700 kilometers

Najduže gostovanje u istoriji evropskih takmičenja

Navijači Sportinga moraće dobro da se potrude da stignu do Astane u prvom meču 1/16 finala Lige Evrope

Evropsko gostovanje u Kazahstanu često je prava noćna mora za navijače. Tako nešto mogli su ove sezone da osete i navijači Crvene zvezde, kada su gostovali Irtišu iz Pavlodara u 2. kolu kvalifikacija za Ligu Evrope

Tada su Delije morale da prelaze udaljenost veću od 5.000 kilometara, gde samo let sa presedenjem traje oko sedam časova, a put drumom je tek posebna avantura i za to je potrebno najmanje 70 sati, ne računajući zadržavanja na granici.

Sada još zanimljivija avantura čeka ultrase Sportinga iz Lisabona, koji će igrati protiv Astane u 1/16 finala Lige Evrope. Kazastanska prestonica dočekaće tim iz Portugalije 15. februara, dok će revanš biti 22. februara u Lisabonu.

Biće to najduže putovanje za jedan tim u istoriji evropskih takmičenja, jer je distanca između gradova 6.173 km, što znači da je izjednačen rekord koji su pre toga držali Benfika i Astana, gde je udaljenost podjednaka.

Za navijače je to još dalje, naročito za one koji nemaju novac za avionske karte, jer put u jednom pravcu traje 80 sati! Ono što će predstavljati poseban problem svim navijačima koji se odluče na tako nešto, jeste i to što će u to vreme u oblasti severnog Kazahstana biti oštra zima sa veoma niskim temperaturama.

Mnogi navijači Sportinga su se šalili da im je bliže da idu na Karibe nego na gostovanje Astani.

To doduše i jeste tačno, jer su Karibi bliži Lisabonu za 100 kilometara. A i mnogo topliji u februaru od Astane.

Još neka od udaljenih gostovanja u 1/16 finala Lige Evrope:

Nica – Moskva 3.000 kilometara

Glazgov – Sankt Petersburg 2.066 kilometara

Kopenhagen – Madrid 2.000 kilometara

Beograd – Moskva 1.700 kilometara

 

Hajduk: Represija prema Torcidi postala je folklor u Hrvatskoj

HAJDUK je proteklog vikenda na Maksimiru pobijedio Lokomotivu, ali utakmicu su zasjenili incidenti prije i tijekom utakmice.

Navijači Hajduka nisu mogli na stadion unijeti obilježje na kojem je prekrižen HNS, a zbog detaljnog pretresa policije neki nisu ni stigli stići do južne tribine u prvom poluvremenu.

Tijekom utakmice s tribine su poletjele baklje, pa je stigla i interventna policija, koju su gostujuće pristalice dočekale s pjesmama “Hrvatska policija, mito i korupcija”, “Jebo vas Mamić, “HNS pederi, nogomet ste sjebali”, “Oj Jano, oj Janice, puši kurac snježna kraljice”…

HNK Hajduk se o događajima u Zagrebu oglasio priopćenjem kojeg prenosimo u cjelosti:

“HNK Hajduk Split oštro osuđuje represiju prema svojim navijačima koja je već sada postala folklor na gostujućim utakmicama Kluba. Posljednji u nizu je sramotni incident koji se dogodio ovog vikenda prilikom gostovanja Hajduka kod Lokomotive na Maksimiru.

Naime, tom prilikom Hajdukovi navijači izvrgnuti su rigoroznim pregledima zbog kojih je dosta njih i s uredno plaćenom ulaznicom na stadion ušlo tek u drugom poluvremenu. Voljeli bismo kad bi mogli ovo pripisati lošoj organizaciji utakmice, ali nije da se ovo događa prvi put. Pri tom je, kao nedavno i na Rujevici, zabranjeno unošenje transparenata s obilježima kojima se izražava stav prema načinu rada Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza. Osim što se krše temeljna ljudska prava, ovim činom hrvatski nogometni vlastodršci provode i kontinuiranu zabranu slobode govora koja je uvriježena civilizacijska vrijednost u svim demokratski uređenim državama.

Protiv smo bilo kakvog nasilja i u potpunosti podržavamo sprječavanje pokušaja unošenja, unošenje i isticanje transparenta, zastava s tekstom, slikom, znakom ili drugim obilježjem kojima se iskazuje ili potiče mržnja ili nasilje na temelju rasne, nacionalne, regionalne ili vjerske pripadnosti, no oštro prosvjedujemo protiv zabrane svih transparenata. Iskazivanje podrške klubu putem transparenata neizostavan je i potpuno legalan dio nogometnog kolorita koji je prisutan na svim stadionima i u klubovima. Naravno, onima koji uopće imaju navijače. Istina, tribina je mjesto gdje se nerijetko izražava nezadovoljstvo, no kriteriji za zabranu ili sankcije određeni su Zakonom o sprječavanju nereda na športskim natjecanjima i pravilnikom o sigurnosti HNS-a koji ne predviđaju ovakve mjere.

Ovakva cenzura predstavlja opasan presedan i vraća nas u vremena za koja se svi nadamo da su daleka prošlost. Da bi se zabranili transprenti nije dovoljno da se nekome njegov sadržaj ne sviđa već da je u suprotnosti sa Zakonom. Posebno osuđujemo i agresivan pristup policajaca prema navijačima prilikom izlaska sa stadiona, a među kojima je bilo i veliki broj roditelja s malom djecom.

Krajnje je vrijeme da se HNS počne brinuti o razvoju hrvatskog nogometa umjesto osmišljavanjem kojekakvih zabrana i mehanizama prisile usmjerenima prema navijačima. Uostalom, hrvatska javnost im je tijekom zadnjih godina bezbroj puta jasno dala do znanja što misli o njihovom (ne)radu”.

Prica o putovanju na finale Super kupa u Skoplje

Priča o ”sirotinjskom” putu na Superkup Evrope zbog ljubavi prema klubu koja traje 22 godine

Kažu da na pitanje ”odakle krenuti” najčešći odgovor ljudi bude – ispočetka!

Svakako je logično i verovatno su u pravu, ali ja svoju priču ne mogu da počnem od tog ”logičnog početka.” Ne mogu, jer upravo kraj moje priče i objašnjava suštinu svega. Objašnjava ljubav jednog navijača prema klubu za koji navija 22 godine.

Taj klub je veliki Mančester junajted, a ovo je priča o mom ”sirotinjskom” putu u Skoplje na Superkup Evrope.

Da imam 18, eventualno 20 i kusur godina verovatno se ni u jednom trenutku sam sebi ne bih požalio zašto sam dozvolio da sa 32 spavam na klupi u donekle nepoznatom gradu. Donekle, jer sam u njemu bio samo jednom pre ovog 8. avgusta.

Neprespavana noć zbog uzbuđenja što ću ponovo uživo gledati Junajted u borbi za trofej (bio sam na finalu Lige Evrope u Stokholmu), put od skoro devet sati u autobusu u kom nema mesta za spavanje, novo uzbuđenje kada sam shvatio da sam tu, navijači Junajteda u gradu (Realove nisam nešto baš ni video), akreditacija u rukama, još jedan talas uzbuđenja kada sam se našao na stadionu i miks zoni…Sve te ”komponente” učinile su da u dva ujutru 9. avgusta ”nisam mogao da držim glavu na ramenima.”

Autobus za Beograd je dolazio na peron tek za tri sata, kartu sam naravno imao, ali mi je falio san. Klupa pored stanice je u tom trenutku za mene bila soba u Hiltonu, jer druge opcije nije ni bilo.

Verovatno će se mnogi od vas zapitati da li je moguće da nisam prespavao u nekom hotelu ili hostelu, pa ujutru krenuo nazad. Reći ću – da, moguće je! Jer, postoje trenuci u životu kada vam finansije iz neverovatnih razloga budu zakucane na nulu. Kada ne možeš da ”zavučeš ruku u kovertu”, jer nema ni koverte, a kamoli novca.

Neverovatno, ali samo pet dana posle Skoplja situacija se finansijski normalizovala, međutim dan pred put morao sam da pozajmim 50 evra. I, priznaću vam! Mizerna je to ”žrtva” za voljeni klub.

Elem, dok sam se nameštao da legnem na tu pomenutu klupu, gledajući da se tako ušuškam da mi niko ne ukrade patike, stvari iz džepova i torbu pod glavom, ponovo sam se zapitao – Da li mi je ovo trebalo u 32. godini?

S tim pitanjem sam zaspao, skoro dva sata kasnije probudio sam se sa odgovorom. On je glasio – Naravno da jeste. Konju jedan, super si se proveo! 

Bio sam u pravu. Svestan sam da često umem da se našalim ”da me je prosto sramota koliko puta sam u pravu”, ali ovoga puta stvarno jesam bio.

Slike dana iza mene krenule su da naviru. Ponosan na to što volim Junajted bio sam već pri samom ulasku u uži centar grada. Na svakom ćošku pesma Crvenih đavola, četiri od pet lokala su imali samo Junajtedove zastavice, na nekima je pisalo ”Dobrodošli navijači Mančester junajteda.”

Crveni dresovi su asimilirali one bele Realove koji su se jedva nazirali. S jedne strane su bili Matić, Mata, Runi, Lukaku, Pogba, Vidić… s druge samo Ronaldo. Naravno, reč je o dresovima koji su se najčešće mogli videti u prestonici Makedonije.

Svestan da sam u Skoplje došao sam, na putu ka stadionu sam razmišljao da li da ostanem na njemu po uzimanju akreditacije ili da se vratim još malo u grad. Ipak je do početka utakmice ostalo skoro četiri sata. Tačnije, tri sata i 45 minuta, jer je sat pokazivao tačno 17.00 časova dok sam marširao obalom Vardara ka Areni Filip II.

Imao sam tu sreću da prilikom uzimanja akreditacije naletim na dvojicu kolega iz Hrvatske – Gorana i Želimira. Dogovor o odlasku na ”Skopsko pivo” vrlo brzo je pao. Nismo preterivali. Ipak je utakmica bila prioritet.

Dobro se sećam. Bilo je 19.58 kada sam se pojavio na tribinama stadiona Filip II Arena koji ovom prilikom moram da pohvalim. Jeste da je potrebno još malo šminkanja, tu pre svega mislim na enterijer i nedostatak sportskih fotografija na zidovima, ali Makedonci mogu da budu ponosni na njega.

Kao što sam i ja još jednom osetio ponos što se Junajtedovi igrači zagrevaju tu ispred mene. A pogotovo kada sam nekoliko minuta kasnije video velikog Aleksa Fergusona. Bio je samo nekoliko redova ispred mene, iskosa sa desne strane što bi rekli komentatori, međutim nisam mogao da doprem do njega.

Jednostavno, lože su nam se razlikovale. Ta tri slova (VIP) su bila isuviše jaka. Tako blizu, a tako daleko. Šteta…

Međutim, nisam propustio priliku da se fotografišem sa legendarnim Brazilcem Robertom Karlosom koji je u Skoplju bio u ulozi stručnog komentatora. Kao ni sa Nemanjom Matićem u miks zoni. Najskupljim srpskim reprezentativcem kog sam lično označio kao čoveka koji će Junajtedu i Murinju doneti titulu ove sezone.

Čekao sam i Kristijana Ronalda. Naravno da ga volim kao bivšeg fudbalera Junajteda. To i ne krijem. Kao ni da je klasa za Lea Mesija, uprkos tome što znam da će me mnogi osuđivati. Nažalost, zajedno sa Modrićem i Marselom skrenuo je desno po izlasku iz svlačionice. Umesto levo (kod Albukerkija).

To je samo bio znak da je vreme da se kompleks stadiona polako napusti. Bilo je vremena za još jedno kratko druženje sa pomenutim kolegama iz Hrvatske, sumiranje utisaka, ocena meča i priznanje da je Real ipak bio bolji za taj jedan gol.

Sat je polako otkucavao 01.30 kada je došlo vreme da svako krene na svoju stranu. Oni ka mestu gde su bili smešteni, ja prema autobuskoj stanici. Ponovo pored Vardara, prema ”mojoj” klupi. Doduše, tada nisam znao da će mi pružiti kratkotrajno utočište.

Hvala joj na tome…

To je bio Đilda: Najljepša priča o prvom vođi Manijaka

Povodom 30 godina osnivanja Željine navijačke grupe

Postoje utakmice koje nikada nisu odigrane, takva je ona između Željezničara i Real Madrida 1985. Imaju i one koje su trebale biti odigrane u jednom trenutku, ali su odgođene. Posljednje dvije Željine bile su upravo takve. Da je na vrijeme odigrana barem jedna, protiv Sarajeva ili Širokog bila bi to idealna prilika da Željini Manijaci proslave 30. rođendan, prisutni bi svjedočili nezapamćenoj atmosferi na Grbavici.

Zanimljivo, većina onih koji su danas među najvatrenijim navijačima ne sjećaju se prvog vođe navijača Željezničara, Dževada Begića Đilde. Dževad nikada nije izgubio nijednu utakmicu, u jedinoj većoj od svih utakmica, životnoj, 11. jula 1992. poražen je život, poražena je ljudskost, a Đilda je ostao da živi u sjećanjima i srcu onih koji su ga poznavali i onih koji znaju cijeniti to što je bio.

Đilda je, kako i dolikuje ludo hrabrim ljudima, prvog dana stao u odbranu svojih komšija i svoga grada, a poginuo je već na samom startu agresije, 11. jula 1992. spašavajući ranjenu ženu. Imao je 26 godina. Simbolično, tri godine poslije, na datum njegove pogibije desio se najveći zločin nakon drugog svjetskog rata, genocid u Srebrenici.

Postoji pregršt anegdota s Đildom od kojih zastaje dah, a jednu od najljepših priča o Đildi i njegovom mangupluku napisao je njegov školski drug Imer Pezo u knjizi “Ratni dnevnik ‘92 – Priče o raji i papcima”.

Povodom 30. godišnjice od osnivanja Manijaka, iz knjige Imera Peze prenosimo dio priče o prvom vođi Željinih Manijaka i ratnom sarajevskom heroju Dževadu Begiću Đildi:

11. juli/srpanj 1992.

Poginuo je Dževad Begić Đilda, naš školski drug iz Osnovne škole “Franjo Kluz” na Koševskom brdu. Naš vršnjak koji je zbog ponavljanja razreda bio generacija iza nas. Do Samira Šoše, Ismeta Ćele i mene došle su glasine da je u suprotnoj smjeni jedan učenik iz sedmog razreda koji se predstavlja da je najjači u našoj školi. Odlučili smo da ga potražimo. Kad smo ga našli pozvali smo ga iza škole da izabere jednog od nas s kojim će se potući.

“Svejedno mi je. Ko god hoće”, samouvjereno nam je rekao bez imalo straha.

Izvlačili smo dužu šibicu koga će zapasti ta sreća da se s njim “pomariše”. Ta čast pripala je meni. Odmah sam krenuo na njega. Nakon nekoliko udaraca pao je na zemlju.

“Eto, vidiš da nisi najjači u školi”. Reče mu Ismet Ćelo dok ga je podizao sa zemlje. Samir mi je dao jaknu, zadovoljni smo krenuli iz školskog dvorišta. Samo što smo se odmakli desetak metara čuli smo Đildin glas: “Je*em vam mater”.

Ismet se okrenuo, otrčao do Đilde, nakon nekoliko udaraca opet se našao na zemlji. Nismo se odmakli opet smo čuli Đildin glas: “Je*em vam mater!”. Red je bio na Samira koji ga je brzo savladao i na zemlju oborio.

“Čujem li te da si još jedanput opsovao, slomit ću te”, zaprijetio je.

Samo što se podigao sa zemlje, otresao prašinu sa sebe, začusmo njegov glas: “Je*em vam mater!”

Zastali smo, gledajući se, sva trojica smo krenuli. Vidjevši da trčimo prema njemu brzo se popeo na visoki podzid i sa njega opet nam psovao. Njegovo psovanje privuklo je pažnju pedagogice koja je poslala Ivu, profesora fizičkog vaspitanja, da nas dovede u njen kabinet. Očekivali smo ukor ili kaznu. Blago nas je upozorila da ga više ne diramo i mi smo upozorenje poslušali. Godine smu prošle, ali taj dan nismo zaboravili. Sreli smo se u bazi Slastičarna kod Doktora.

“Da smo znali da ćeš postati vođe navijača Želje, još više bismo te tukli”, reče mu Ismet Ćelo.

“Svaki dan bismo te marisali”, nadovezao sam se ja.

“Koliko Pitara na jednom mjestu, odma’ se ne osjećam dobro”, uzvrati. Nakon čega smo se zagrlili.

Pripadao je Vojnoj policiji Koševskog brda pod komandom Muhameda, kojeg su njegovi borci od milja zvali Vojvodom. “Kad četnici mogu imati stotinu vojvoda, možemo i mi imati jednog”, govorili su. Prvih dana kada smo čuli na našoj centrali pozive i javljanje Vojvode, pomislili smo da su se Grbavice upetljali u vezu. Kasnije smo privikli da Muhamed nosi nadimak Vojvoda.

Đilda se u jedinici nije puno zadržavao. Nosio je motorolu i pažljivo slušao dešavanja u gradu. Pojavljivao se na svim kriznim mjestima, služeći časno i pošteno građanima Sarajeva. Nošen idealima “pomaži i brani slabije”, vrijednostima za koje je smatrao da su jedine ispravne, težio je ljepšem i boljem zajedničkom životu. Pogođen je snajperskim hicem u pokušaju da pomogne ranjenoj ženi. Od čega čista duše najviše strepi – “Nejakog ucviliti.”

Snajperski hitac ispaljen sa Grbavice obilježi neizrecivom prazninom porodicu bosanskoga gazije: njegove četiri djevojčice i petu, koja se rodila nakon njegove pogibije…

Sud oslobodio hrvatskog navijača optuženog za nerede na Euru

Mladić je rekao da je sa skupinom navijača kupio karte od preprodavača u Francuskoj, no da nije sudjelovao u neredima i bacanju bengalku.

Šibenski Općinski sud oslobodio je danas jednog navijača koji je optužen da je sudjelovao u prekidu utakmice između Hrvatske i Češke u Saint Etienneu na Europskom nogometnom prvenstvu prošle godine.

Mladić je rekao da je sa skupinom navijača kupio karte od preprodavača u Francuskoj, no da nije sudjelovao u neredima i bacanju bengalku. Na video snimci vidi se pedesetak osoba, ali su u kapuljačama pa im se ne mogu prepoznati lica. Stoga nema dokaza da je optuženi sudjelovao u neredima. Ako presuda Općinskog suda postane pravomoćna, više neće biti pravnog osnova za tužbu Hrvatskog nogometnog saveza. HNS je platio 100 tisuća eura kazne i naknadu štete htio naplatiti od navijača.
