Lazio ultras during the Europa League match in Nice.
Masses of Lazio fans headed to the south of France, with some ultras calling for for “non-violence, non-racism, and non-confrontation”.
While hoards of Irriducibili managed to enjoy themselves without violence in the south of France, some were pictured making Nazi-like salutes inside the Allianz Riviera.
The Irriducibili are celebrating 30 years of fascism and fighting, having started to take over the renowned Curva Nord section of their Stadio Olimpico home with a single banner back in 1987.
After getting the party started on Tuesday in Rome, they headed out for a sunny Thursday in atrocity-hit Nice wearing ‘FCK ISIS’ t-shirts.

Although any good will towards fellow fans was tarnished by fascist salutes during the 3-1 away win.
While the Irriducibili have officially disbanded, neo-fascist sympathisers continue to get away racist chants inside stadiums.
