Union & Molenbeek, a historic rivalry

The rivalry between Union and RWDM is not a recent one. The first real derby took place in 1912, when RWDM were still known as Daring Club, and the rest is history, with derbies that have never ceased to be the talk of the Belgian press. The rivalry was even immortalised in the play 'Bossemans et Coppenole', a great classic of Belgian theatre.

Not sure what to say about the #rwdm hooligan-induced riots on #Parvisdestgilles in #Bruxelles today, but I‘ll leave you a link to a video on FB where at 2:21 you can see how the police seem to be policing this: https://www.facebook.com/bart.lemmens.7/videos/314335577866164/ #zwanzederby #rwdusg #rwdm

This - if true - is a super stupid decision in a long line of stupid decisions! #RWDUSG #RWDMRUSg #ZwanzeDerby #lifeinbrussels

It will only push #RUSG fans closer to the ring, closer to Molenbeek, and easier to reach to Anderlecht idiots (who, might I remind you, threw stones at departing busses from Club fans last weekend).

Finally, both Clubs released a statement on the #ZwanzeDerby:
