You excuse the Warsaw fans as the pictures are a few years old, and yet you castigate the Germans when the Warsaw uprising was 70 odd!!! Surely if the recent photos aren't representative of Warsaw fans now, then how can the Warsaw uprising Germans be representative of Germans now?Oh, such manipulation and no research...
Ok - the Ku Klux Klan photo was taken in Portugal, and Legia could not punish them as it is illegal for Portugese authorities to hand over personal data of people on their soil to bodies abroad (i.e to Poland). Moreover, the club issued a statement in which they say that despite selling tickets for the match against Lisbon in Warsaw and getting the personal data, the Portugese authorities also allowed Polish "fans" to buy them illegally outside the ground. I'm not excusing the behaviour, I'm saying that it is not representative of the spirit of the fans and the situational context is important. Also the picture is from 2012 - not recent.
The Kriegsmarine flag - the picture is was posted online in 2011, but is much older, so by no means a recent incident again. Also, if you point to definitive evidence that these are in fact Legia fans, I would be grateful. Hard as I tried, I couldn't make out their scarves. The last photo shows nothing.
You could post pictures of English fans fighting in the 90's and try to prove that they are representative of today's fans. Doesn't work that way.
