Portrait of a dead hooligan or in memorial

A few days ago, at 20-3, I published this photo trying to say

something about hooliganism, with the title "Portrait of an ex

Soccer-fan". Today at 1:30 AM ( greece time) I published " Soccer-fan"

trying to touch hooliganism by a humor pov. Unfortunately 2 hours

later by a " Satanic coincidence "...I heard these news on TV.

 

 

Man killed ahead of volleyball match.

 

A 25-year-old man was killed and five other people were injured during

hooligan violence in Athens on Thursday, before a match was to take

place between the women's volleyball teams of Olympiakos Piraeus and

Panathinaikos Athens for the Greek Cup . Comments please.

What a beautifull and intersting visual sensation.

Strong composition and great tones Michael,congrats

A very strong composition Mihali. B/W suits her fine!...like the contrast too.

Take care my friend and a short notice, you can't fight hooligans as long as they are "backed up" and "driven" by the people in the "highest positions".

I feel very sad about the death ot the young man today. I couldn't believe in my ears when I listened to the news. Panayotis is right though. These phenomena are deeply social and there are a lot of reasons behind. Let's wish it is the last one. I'm not optimistic though. Regards Vassilis.

Dear Panagioti and Vassili you are right. I do not try to fight hooligans because they are legionaries most of them. But I feel sad for these phenomenon and for the fact that I, my sons and my friends cannot go the stadium any more and so many young people became fanatics. Finally we will forget the death of a young man in a few days and so on...Some of them used drugs before the fight, some of us will use drugs to forget and some other they will use drugs for better scores...So the drugstores are always the winners.

Strong shot, it is great new shot but sad real life, Michael.

A powerful image indeed. What a shame that it is associated with such a sad event. I think it has less to do with youth than mass hysteria. People develop group behaviour when they are in crowds and normal values cease to exist.

Another great shot from you Michael. It is sad, but it is the thruth. Best regards, Torfinn.

Great composition and tones, it's a sad story. Best Regards.

Michael, the image is strong and well done. Huliganizm is a disease of society in many places.Sad, but a fact of life,includes many reasons, better to be occupied with the positive and try to eliminate the negative.

Super!

Cool image. Hooliganism has absolutely no place anywhere, let alone sports where sometimes parents take their kids out for a fun outing only to be face with behaviour like that.

A PERFECT SHOT JUST ON TIME.Best regards.

This is an image with very great drama here and very impressive b/w format

 

Wishing you all of the best my friend

 

B&W, Compositions, MOOD, Light is perfect!

Very powerful image,Michael. I agree with John & Pnina. Mass hysteria has become epidemic all over the world, because people are not busy with constructive activities.

My heart feels heavy with this madness but work like yours gives us all hope!

Thanks for your very interesting comments.
