Balkan Hattish safe dance festival 2k9downcount

First: ALERT! SECURITY HAT LEVEL RAISED BY ONE HAT and is now 3 HATS. The Bomfunk MC's are a robot hip hop, formed in 1997 by a group of disruptive and uncooperative Nokia5110s in fucking Finland. BE AWARE.

Ever Play Balkan Soccer? You use a Serb’s Head instead of a Ball.

Assassinations, frauds, tax dodging, thieving, money-laundering, match-fixing, organised crime controlling the game – that’s everyday life in some clubs and leagues.


Željko "Arkan" Ražnatović (above), in front of his Serb paramilitary group, the Serb Volunteer Guard ("Arkan's Tigers").
Arkan returned to his interests in sport and private business. The Serb Volunteer Guard was officially disbanded in April 1996 with the threat to be reactivated in case of war emergency. In June of that year he took over a second division soccer team FK Obilić which he soon turned into a top caliber club, even winning the 1997/98 Yugoslav league championship. According to a book by Franklin Foer, "How Football Explains the World: An Unlikely Theory of Globalization", Arkan threatened players on opposing teams if they scored against Obilić.

This threat was underlined by the thousands of veterans from his army that filled their home field, chanting threats, and on occasion pointing pistols at opposition players during matches. One player told the British football magazine FourFourTwo that he was locked in a garage when his team played Obilić. Europe's football governing body, UEFA, considered prohibiting Obilić from participation in continental competitions because of its connections to Arkan. In response to this, Arkan stepped away from the position of president and gave his seat to his wife Ceca. Arkan was also a chairman of the Yugoslav Kick-boxing Association.
