Sint Truiden vs Genk abandoned

Callumcafc

Genk led 0-3 after 60 minutes.

STVV fans start to throw objects in the direction of the Genk GK causing a fifteen minute delay before they calm down.

Genk lost all momentum upon the restart, allowing STVV to score three goals in 25 minutes to pull themselves level.

Furious Genk fans began to storm the away enclosure, forcing the game to be abandoned just before they could complete the 90 minutes.



Still trying to figure out if the result will stand as is, whether they’ll come back later to finish it like they do occasions in the Netherlands or they’ll do a full 90 minute replay. Can any of our Belgian users enlighten us?

Also will be interesting to follow in the next couple of days to see what punishments are handed out by the Belgian FA, if any.

Big big mistake Callum mentioning the word 'Away', Oohaa was guaranteed to be all over this post like a rash 😉.

Maybe the Genk fans got annoyed with themselves for not getting behind the team enough and stormed themselves.

Local derby, both sets of fans hate each other.

Apparently Roland was the instigator amongst the STVV ultras

Not a protest then

I would have thought that if they wanted to attack the STVV fans the Genk fans would have had to storm the precinct below the stands where the STVV lot watch the game on the telly, while waiting for the disco.

Bitter ex employees obviously.

Apologies for the back to front wording.

The Genk fans were wanting to break free from the enclosure and pushed hard against the front panelling that kept them from running onto the pitch.

It broke under the pressure of the Genk fans and then police/ref got concerned for player safety so the match got abandoned.

Genk always sounds like some sort of disease or condition to me.

"My genk is playing up again" or "hes caught a bad dose of genk".

Bit like the Sport AIDS annual event

Bloody not-so-soft terrorists!

A police spokesman told reporters it all started after someone preferred to watch “Strictly” and changed the channel on the tv’s,  almost immediately Genks fans took exception to this and the real dancing started. 😉

What sort of tin pot League has crowd trouble, match abandoned and Twitter isn’t flooded with media and fan footage?

Having walked on the plastic pitch of the StvTruiden stadium I can assure everybody that a bit of rioting would have enhanced the experience.
It makes even Colchester United's ground look like a theatre of passion.
The Lidl attached to the stadium is ten time more exciting.

A tad OTT Seth, I have been to many STVV games at Stayen, and the atmosphere when the likes of Anderlecht,Standard,Bruges,Genk arrive is right up there. Not quite The Valley when its rocking, but they make some noise.

Anyone who has been to STTV will be amazed at this news.
The overwhelmingly dull atmosphere (rather like the sleepy town itself), is like a graveyard.......in all honesty I am finding it very hard to believe.
I’m incredulous.

Did you bother reading my comment above?
Strange how people pop up as Sint Truiden experts when they've only been there once.

Meh!

After speaking to one of the STVV guys, it appears it spilled out into the streets outside the stadium, and got very nasty, with De Kanarie, (for people who remember it) being evacuated and closed by the local OB, and away fans being pushed back down down the hill towards the roundabout. All round nasty evening apparently.

Any chance a stray boot could have ended up Roland’s arse

Been there five times and I must say I concur with @SoundAsa£

Hope they all went back to Rolands hotel and knicked all the roasted peanuts from the mini bars!

I have only been to Stayen once, and there was more atmosphere in the bar during the match than in the stands.

Guys, guys, is it really nescasery to swing your handbags at each other?

The St Truiden v Genk fixture reminds me of the great times we had as the B20.

The game I remember, The President was there, the game was halted Midway through first half? due to smoke bombs.
Restarted after about a half hour delay.

Those were great days.
Believe that was the game we found a lot of spending chips lying around and "purchased"  2 bottles of champagne.

One of my main memories, is, being a bit 'worse for wear', wanting to 'borrow' the megaphone they used in the North Stand amongst their Ultras to sing anti RD songs, and being tapped on my shoulder by a guy who, when i turned around, was clearly one of the St Truiden cavemen brigade,thinking, shit, i'm gonna get my head kicked in here, only to be offered a beer !

I have probably been to ST about 20 times , nah nah, nah nah nah.

Granted, the games against the likes of Waregem or Waasland are fairly dull, quiet affairs - a bit like Charlton v Fleetwood on a Tuesday night really, but the games against the likes of Anderlecht (as AOG mentions above) or Genk (as proved yesterday) are can be fairly feisty,noisy affairs.

Cant help but read that with a schteeve mclaren accent! Glad you found those beer tokens #notapennymore :-)

Having only been to one STTV game I will of course defer to the experts, but I understand people's bafflement, because the atmosphere at that game was SOOOO bad. They barely even acknowledged the goals.
