The shame of Indonesian football, Bonek, Persebaya Surabaya supporters, run amok.
Bandung via Solo
Thousands of supporters of Persebaya Surabaya football club, known as bondo nekat, or bonek for short, travelled to Bandung, West Java on the KA Pasundan train on 22nd January, to see their heroes go down 4-2 to Persib Bandung.
Their journey was plagued by accidents and violence, with three supporters falling to their deaths from the train. The supporters, most of whom had not paid for tickets, threw rocks at passing houses, stole food from vendors at train station stops, and generally ill-behaved.
At Jebres station in Solo, Central Java, their throwing of rocks at homes in a nearby housing estate caused residents to return fire, and a rock throwing battle royale ensued, with dozens injured. l6
Journey Home
The journey back from Bandung, in a specially provided, Bonek only, service, was a mixed affair. Upon entering the Yogyakarta district supporters of PSS Sleman were moved, for unknown reasons, to give the Bonek parcels of food and drinks.
However on arrival at Jebres station the Bonek were set upon by thousands of people who had gathered in wait, and who threw rocks and caused about 70 people to seek medical treatment. Police were forced to fire warning shots in the air to disperse the crowds.
The Battle of Solo
Upon their return to Surabaya the local government prepared about 2,000 rice meals to hand over to the Bonek on their arrival at Wonokromo, Gubeng, and Semut train stations, to forestall any hunger driven rioting/stealing. Trucks were also provided, to transport the Bonek safely back to their home neighbourhoods.
Damage Bill
Train company PT Kereta Api puts the damages and vandalism bill at 750 million rupiah, or about $75,000, with a further 250 million rupiah from lost ticket sales, as almost none of the Bonek travellers bought tickets, and is currently in somewhat confused negotiations with the government of East Java province over compensation.
That knew only WE US
BONEK,
It’s up to you you we said what,
because you did not feel during the tragedy incident anywhere we, In fact BONEK that now want to quiet without having the problem AFTER The PUNISHMENT, but our ANGER then always was burnt by them who wanted to take revenge that for a long time… and they who wanted to take the profit on behalf of us,

AREMA JANCOK , PASOEPATI WONG SOLO MBOKNE ANCOK

Great stories, but madrotter should analyse his words and try to understand himself without having to be put in the funny farm some day…lol
He says he has been through alot but in a disco as bouncer is not exactly going to war in dangerous areas 24/7 (life or death around the corner)
of course everyone is made up different and different experiences make new reactions in a phycholoigical sence.
Personally hoolies are not just normal people who just make trouble its a kind of coming out, as madrotter explained bad job bad district, these people are mostly talented apart from the absolute freaks with no brains, they need to be socially integrated into there towns and clubs and get the feeling of responsability, the most of the Hoolies will grow up some day or grow out of it, but we should look at the seed and start from there a change in socialisation can take years but its possable to stop kids growing up to be a hoolie.

yeah man I have been to Rotterdam and Amsterdam actually I was there on Sunday, I live just 2,5 hrs away from Amsterdam, I have not been to Bagdad just missed it, but I was active in Falkland crisis and have served in Northern Ireland. So I know what I am talking about, I dont think its is easy to be a bouncer, you must keep your eyes open, but the chances are 10000 : 1 that it gets so bad, not like a soldier of fortune can get shot in his back on duty anytime anyplace anywhere. But there is no need to become a hoolie because of this, to me it does not measure up a real man will be calm and cool in all situations until the time comes to pay back.
I don`t really understand the socialogy behind Hooligan behaviour, I just know that all you Hoolies have a identification problem, as I said before in my last write up, a good idea would be to give you guys responsability in the town, this will give you a good identity and you will be looked upon in a respectful way. also your social awareness will change, the society needs good people and hoolies (most of them) need just some councilling and someone to take there hand and put them on the right path.

All my respect to you, but why don`t you find a different hobby, like Sepedo racing its also got action in it, and only you wil get hurt no innocent people or objects.
