Red Star-Banat

A good number of Delije in the north terrace tonight. Since there were only 3 gates opened, people were late for 15-20 minutes to enter the stadium. Many flares, big flags, good support throughout the whole 90 minutes and another victory at the end of match was just a small "thank you" from our players. A long banner was shown at the end of the game saying: "It (Red Star team/machine  :D ) started working and it doesn't want to stop" with huge RedWhite tank banner above us. Certanly, a night to remember.

Ofk Belgrade-Red Star


More than 2,000 Delije arrived to support our team at the small Belgrade's derby betwen these two clubs. However, police didn't allow us to take our banners and flags inside the stands. After 15 minutes of constant protest regarding new law aimed mostly to the chief of police in Serbian government Dragan Jocic, Delije reminded him of his criminal past toghether with supporters of Ofk Belgrade - Blue Union- lthat left the stadium. Delije came out few minutes after them leaving the stands empty. The new law that was voted for in Serbian parliament allows the banners and support material but our police obviously intended to make incidents with Delije on purpose, so they can continue with arrests and terror of our supporters.

Red Star-Bayern

16 years later Bayern arrived on Marakana stadium for the second time. However this time our team didn't have the luck to win (2-3 in last minutes). The north side was full above its capacity. Few minutes before the match started the whole stadium erupted just like in argentina. The trance led from the hearth of north stand spread all over the stadium.
Police repression continued on this game. About 20 of Delije were arrested during the day in and outside the stadium for absolutely no reason. For that ocasion, Delije prepare banners against Serbian minister in government Jocic and reminded him of his criminal past when he used to rob newspaper shops. Also, there were banners targeting all Serbian politicians telling them that they are the biggest hooligans in Serbia today.
Throughout the match, Delije had very strong and loud support. Even though many football fans came for the first time to "support" the Red Star team, Delije proved high level on this game.

Delije away in Lucani

400 Delije arrived on wednesday 13.30h game in Lucani. Official DELIJE SEVER banner was brought in the stadium. Also, new song against police and government was presented.


Delije in Thessaloniki

Almost 900 Delije headed toward Thessaloniki for the second largest away trip in last 10 years. Red Star was playing Aris. However the city's main mob comes from paok fans which we already "welcomed" last year in Belgrade while basketball game.
Delije mob was strong and prepared for anything (everything). The trip down to the northern border went with no problems.

As soon as Delije arrived in front of the border (6 in the morning) they were held there for more than 12 hours. Police wanted to keep Delije away from Thessaloniki and possible confrontations with paok and aris fans. While there, one of our boys was hit by a fyrom car and after 45min. of waiting sent to hospital. He is doing ok. Also, we started receiving news of stabbed few stabbed people (friends of our club) in Thessaloniki. Also, the shortage of tickets forced 50 of Delije to return to Serbia since nobody was allowed to enter the Greece without the stadium ticket?!? Police searched us several times, they even had drug dog sniffing around.

We arrive in front of the stadium 15min. after the match had started already. Police wanted us to form a line, and wait for security, which filled the glass over to the top and the first fight with police occurred. The only way they could keep their forces together was to through tear gases on us. In that time our brothers Gate 7 joined us and eventually in the half time we entered the stadium.

The support was as best as Delije could bring in that moment, having in mind all the waiting and problems on the border.. Delije and Gate 7 showed their flags which gave the sign for aris fans to start throwing lighters and coins on us, with childish threats. Few hand flares were also lit.

As soon as we start leaving the city, a small group of thugs threw few rocks on our last bus, managing to break a window, which immediately brought 850 Delije into the streets but nothing happened since attackers run.

The biggest fight with police occurred just before and on the border line between Greece and fyrom. Police began throwing tear gas bombs into our busses, so we decided to stop the inappropriate attitude of them and suddenly police realized they had to run. However, they pushed Delije back to fyrom borderline with more teargases but the fight didn't stop for about 45 minutes. If there had been some wind to move the cloud of teargas the fight would continue.

Another away game

Today, Delije travelled in the city 80km east of Belgrade to support our team in the first strong vicotry of 5:2. In front of our gates police allowed the banners but demanded to be hanged on top of our sector, also they allowed drums but not stick to hit drum with. More than 1.000 Delije and Red Star supporters gave solid support during 90 min. and even longer.. A new song against Serbian minister of police was sang. We will continue our fight against the government system. Domestic fans exit their stands in 20min. of the game since they were not even allowed to take their banners inside of their own stadium.

There was a good number of delija in the North Terrace against Hajduk. The game started with a new song and was continued with usual songs. During the whole first half there were many flares and the singing didn't stop. The only negative thing was the score 0-1 for hajduk. Because of a couple bad calls the referee wasn't forgotten. The delije also didn't forget there old "friend" Dzomba the president of FC hajduk because of his comments in the newspapers earlier that week.

But what happened at the end of first half and during the intermission will never be forgotten and will be an interesting theme for the media and a reason to blame the delije and hiding the truth. How did a cop dressed as a civilian come to a situation to pull out a gun and shout not once as some people say but twice. First in the air and the second time at the people. The only reason nobody was hurt or even worse killed was only luck. The cop got what he deserved and everybody else who came in didn't have a good time and everybody should know that they will never have it.

After the whole mess was finished many people left the north terrace because they were scared for their lives and who wouldn't be if he saw a crazy cop walking free with a gun shooting.  The only people who stayed were those who are there every week to support the club.  During the second half the team tied the game 1-1.  

At the end only a tie but there is nothing to the players who gave their best as well as we did.  

Next game is on Tuesday against Bolton in the UEFA Cup.

After many speculations in the media in the last couple of days about the incident that happened few days earlier there was a lot of tension between the fans and the police. Because of that the police wanted revenge and was waiting for anything so they could show their brutality one more time. They were trying to provoke the delije on many ways. All the gates were crowded because the police searched people one by one. They took their time searching the people and making them nervous. Many people came in late because of that.

The first part of the game the delije signed their usual songs with singing a couple of songs with other sides of the stadium together.  Even the goal that was scored against red star at the end of first half made the delije sing even more and louder and the team was sent to the locker room with big support so they could come out stronger the second half. At that moment the whole stadium started singing "zvezda zvezda".

The second half the delije turned o more recent happenings and putting up a big banner saying what they think about Kosovo. The banner said KOSOVO IS SERBIA. That part of the game will be remembered by many songs about Kosovo and Serbia. The delije also didn't forget songs targeting the minister of police reminding him about his criminal past when he used to rob newspaper stands.

The last 20 minutes of the game the tempo and many people were tired because of everything that happened these last couple of days.  The game was lost and the players were sent to the locker room with a song, which reminded them that the DELIJE would always be there.

There was a small number of delije at a game agaista Bezanija. The support was good throughout the whole game. Most of the game delije singed agaista a bezanija player. There was a big number of police at the game.

It was a nice Saturday day in Belgrade and another home game for Red Star against Mladost from Lucana. There was a good number of delija in the north stand. Delije continued the action selling Serbian flags from which all the income went for Serbs who lived on Kosovo. The singing and supporting was great but the score of the game was unexpected. Delije singed even louder when the team was loosing, trying to motivate the team and make a comeback and win.

The idea with selling the Serbian flags was to make people more aware of the problems and to promote nationalism in the capitol and cities around the country. After the game the flags will be set on many balconies and terraces all over the city for people to see. The flags were also a part of the choreography.

At the entrance a sheet was passed out to everybody informing people about the plans for the next derby against Partizan next weekend. The sheet said that the Delije will meet at the main square and all together organized go the Partizan stand. It also said that the idea is that every Red Star supporter has a Serbian flag at the game, which will be used as choreography again. Delije will once again say what they think about Kosovo and Metohija, which is the heart of Serbia. The rivalry between the Delije and Partizan fans grobari will be put aside.

The beginning of the game against Mladost started with raising the Serbian flags a singing a couple songs about Serbia and Kosovo. That way Delije once more show support for the people living on Kosovo.  Latter in the game Delije singed songs supporting the club and the players. The end of the first period the fans showed support to Russia.

The second half of the game started with a lighting up many flares and smokes. The song was much louder than in the first half.  Couple songs were singed with the stand being divided when one part sings one part of the song and the other part singing the rest.

At the end Red Star only got a tie but the players were applaud showing them support for an important game against partizan.

The next game of Red Star is on Wednesday April 2 against Napredak.


P.S. I also want to apologize to people who read the English section for not posting a report for the past couple of games but I was really busy and didn't have time to write the report.


It was a nice Wednesday evening at Marakana where Red Star played Napredak. This day will be remembered as a day when Delije said goodbye to one of the most important people in the clubs history. Rajko Mitic gave his whole life for Red Star.

The game started with a minute of silence and cheering Rajko Mitic and thanking him for everything he did. Regarding the good score of the game the signing and cheering was relaxing. Singing all the usual songs Delije prepared for the derby match on Saturday.

The second half started by showing support to Dragan Dzajic. Delije once again didn't forget what they think about Kosovo and showed support to the people.

In the 86minute the Delije prepared a banner with a picture of Rajko Mitic to say goodbye for the last time. A couple of flares were lit up with a song saying everything passes but Red Star stays.

After the win the players were cheered to telling them that Delije are expecting a win on Saturday against Partizan.

The game against Bezanija which Red Star won 4-1 will be remembered as the turning point of championship because after that game Red Star is only trailing 3 points behind Partizan.

For this game Delije wrote a new song which was mostly singed during the beginning and the end of the game.
The game started with a new song which very quickly became a big hit and made madness in the stands.  The second half started with a couple of flares lighting during which the Delije singed songs against their biggest rival who we play on Wednesday in the semifinals of the national cup. After the game Delije stayed for more than 30minutes singing the new song and preparing for the derby.

There was a smaller number of Delije than usually at the game against Cukaricki. There were a couple of flares that were randomly light up during the entire match. Four big flags were also seen on the north side of the stadium. Many songs were singed with only couples of them that were singed really loud.

Everybody was called to come to the volleyball final on Thursday and help the team to continue their fight for the championship.  

The next game is an away game against Mladost from Lucana

As the championship battle continues so do the Delije fight to help their team in winning every game until the end.
It was a nice show in the north stand against Smederevo. At some moments Delije showed why they are the best at what they do. The number of people was much better than in the last game but it wasn't the full capability of Delija.

Delije signed a various number of songs. Some of them are very known. As the score was higher the song was louder. In the first half a few flares were light up.
At the end of first half the Delije showed their support to the team manager shouting Jankovic Sasa.

As usual the second half the support was shown to the Serbian people on Kosovo.  Many people have already forgotten them but Delije will never. We also didn't forget to sing against the football association for all the bad things they did against the club.

The players were sent to the locker rooms as champions.

After the match most of the core were to the hospital to show support to one of the biggest legends of Red Star.

That was the whole mission against Smederevo.
Delije continue their fight against Banat on Wednesday.
