Football: "The Faction" messine s'autodissout

A group of supporters of FC Metz named The Faction, challenged in several racist incidents, dissolved itself Thursday night. "They met on Thursday night and made their autodissolution. They shall most matches of FC Metz and elsewhere, or at home," told Reuters a spokesman for the prefecture of Moselle. Created in 2003, this group of some forty people were pointing the finger for several months after a series of outbursts during the league matches of FC Metz. Several stadium bans were initially made against its members at the end of the match Metz-Strasbourg, October 6, which was interrupted twice. The Lorraine supporters, including some "Faction," had attempted to do battle with their counterparts from Alsace. Some individuals had approached the podium to attack the president messin, Carlo Molinari. Another member affiliated with the group has been barred from the stage Friday for a period of three months by the prefect of the Moselle, Bernard Niquet, after making greetings Nazis and Nazi songs sung at the end of the match Lyon-Metz (2 -0), last Saturday. The players of FC Metz had come to offer their supporters T-shirts against racism they had brought before the kick-off of the meeting. Some clothes were returned on the lawn, sometimes torn. The racist acts had been committed then. The president of the Professional Football League, Frederic Thiriez, had seized Wednesday the Interior Ministry and called for the implementation of a law in 2006 allowing the dissolution of such a group in the Council of Ministers.
