Supporters are Supposed To Help Their Team Aren't They?

Legia Warsaw fans seem to have misunderstood the concept of supporting a football team. With Legia 2-0 down in their Intertoto Cup third round game against Lithuania's FK Vetra, the Polish decided hooliganism was the answer. Because nothing turns around a two goal deficit like some good old fashioned hooliganism, right?
Wrong. UEFA awarded the game 3-0 to Vetra, booted Legia out of the Intertoto Cup and - icing on the idiot fan cake - banned Legia from one future European campaign, should they qualify in the next five years.
Worse still, from this YouTube video (spotted on Pitchinvasion) it seems like some pretty aimless hooliganism. It's basically vandalism of Vetra's stadium, and guess who's going to be footing the bill for all that damage? That's right, Legia Warsaw. So there goes some money that could have been spent on transfer fees. Oh, and Vetra now play Blackburn Rovers in the next round, which should also be a nice little earner for the Lithuanian outfit.
So Legia won't be making a name for themselves in UEFA competition any time soon, but at least they're now feared around the world as die hard footy fanatics, right? Probably not, as they mostly seem to be standing around pretending to be dangerous. There's two guys trying to break one object by repeatedly smashing it with another object, much like the apes in 2001 before the monolith arrives. There's another fool offering to have anal intercourse with the Lithuanian police (at least I think that's what he's trying to communicate) and another idiot (my favourite) who seems to suspect that bit of metal he's holding might turn into a machine gun any minute now, because its sort of shaped like one.
