'Bizarrely, the announcer at the stadium played Cher's 'Believe' in an attempt to calm fans during the break, to no avail.'

Problem is The Flag was not flag of just Albania, it was a flag of Great Albania (that includes some parts of Greece, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia and Montenegro). To try to compare it, imagine English nationalists do the same on a Scotland - England game in Glasgow. Sending a drone with a flag of Great England (containing half of Scotland territory , all Wales and Ireland). And multiply the feeling by 1000 because our misunderstandings are quite fresh. |

Always liked the Serbs. Anyone that hates the Muslims has my vote. Supposedly the Serb fans had anti NATO and anti EU banners. I've read a lot about the Balkans War and to me the Serbs were generally the good guys. They were trying to keep Yugoslavia together,just like many of us want the UK to stay together. I don't mind the Croats,but I dispise the Bosnian Kosovan and Albanian Muslims. The Hague was one big biased set up.

Mladic and Karadzic seemed like salt of the earth chaps I'm surprised these were allowed to play each other when less hostile nations are kept apart by Uefa. |

We have an example of Gibraltar and Spain that were not allowed to play in the same group. Check this out http://mondo.rs/a736368/Foto/Sport/Slavili-sramotu.html . Albanians actually were celebrating yesterday after all what happened in Belgrade :s.

Match was called off after a Serbian fan threw a chair at a Albanian player. s**t got real when one of the serbs player grab the flag from the drone. I am 100 percent positive he did that to get over it and continue with the game.

I am 100 percent positive he did that to get over it and continue with the game. I agree, it didnt look like there was anything malice bu yhe Serbian player, I got the impression he just wanted to take it down so play could resume. It amazes me how much offence a flag can cause, even in the UK the sight of a flag can cause uproar |

And how do you defend against this kind of things (drones). You can not just shoot it down in stadium full of people. It could have had a small bomb attached. Just imagine what could have happened if it exploded in crowded area of stadiums. Serbian president was there too. I know they can be hacked, but who could expect this :s |

I remember they were drawn together in the 90's, NI won at Windsor park iirc. Gibralter/Spain, Russia/ Ukraine, Russia/Georgia and Armenia/Azerbaijan are the only nations kept apart I think.

The two Ireland's have been paired in groups a couple of times. The last time was about a decade ago,and remember the Republic qualifying for a World Cup away in Northern Ireland. Think it was 2002,but don't quote me on that. I know the Republic won 4-0 in Belfast,but they couldn't celebrate with fans at the end,as all Republic fans had been banned from going to the Belfast game. They were paired togther too in the 1980's for a qualifying tournament too.
