Fans of Schalke in Dublin: The club condemns the fight and the attack on the photographer.

Conflict among Schalke fans in Ireland

According to The Sun: Schalke fans were criticized by their club for their "disturbing" behavior during the trip to Ireland.

Tens of thousands of German supporters traveled to Dublin on Saturday for a friendly match against Bohemians.

There were several disturbing incidents in Dublin.

The fans held a parade on Abbey Street Lower and sang loudly.

Photographer Carly Clarke, who was on site, described it as a "festive parade." However, aggressive fans tore her camera away, and when her friend Steve, who is about 70 years old, tried to intervene, he was pushed to the ground and brutally injured on the head.

A shocking video that Clarke posted on social media has been viewed over 7 million times.

The Schalke club expressed outrage and promised to take "necessary measures" against those responsible.

"FC Schalke 04 traveled to Dublin to have a special trip with our fans during the friendly match."

"The images circulated on social media yesterday are disturbing and hard to bear."

"These incidents are completely unacceptable and deserve our clear reaction."

"FC Schalke 04 expects everyone who supports and follows the club to behave respectfully and responsibly."

"This kind of incident harms the reputation of the club and our community, which is unfair to S04 and thousands of peaceful Schalke fans."

"We condemn these incidents in every form and will, as announced, carefully investigate the events and take appropriate measures."

"FC Schalke 04 would like to express its sympathy for those affected by the incident and wish them a speedy recovery."

Schalke, who are in second place in the second German league, lost the friendly match against Bohemians 3:2.

This incident raises concerns as fan emotions have historically been important for the atmosphere at games, but such incidents can significantly highlight the extent of the problem of violence among sports fans. The club is currently committed to taking measures to prevent similar situations in the future.

Furthermore, this incident may give rise to discussions about safety issues at sporting events, which are important not only for the clubs but also for the entire fan community.
