During Sunday’s match between Rosenborg and Molde, the temperature was high, both on the pitch and on the bench. Two red cards were handed out, and the discussion about whether there really should have been more was very high. But afterwards there is something else that is up for discussion: the banner that was up in the Molde supporters’ field. It said: “The Germans’ bombing of Molde is shared as a picture. Henry Rinnan: The Upper East’s greatest source of inspiration”. Øystein Neerland, managing director, is clear in his speech about what he thinks about the banner. – Unnecessary. Something you should definitely save yourself from. It is something Molde Football Club does not stand behind, whatsoever. Managing Director of Molde Football Club, Øystein Neerland.

Henry Rinnan was a Trønder Nazi, and leader of the Rinnan gang during the Second World War. The case was first discussed by TV 2. Wants the supporters to focus on their own team Neerland says it might be a good idea for the supporters to discuss which banner to use in the future. – We would like intelligent, humorous banners. It is important that the supporters, Tornekrattet, or whoever was behind the banner, support the team and focus on their own team during the matches, says the director. – Does this damage the reputation of the club? – You stand in the club’s colors and logo, and again I must express that we do not stand behind anything like that. We want Tornekrattet to focus on us and our own team in the games ahead. The director says he has not yet spoken to Rosenborg about the banner, but that it is something he might want to do. – Tornekrattet was not behind Tornekrattet’s leader, Ronny Stamsvik, writes in an SMS that it was not Tornekrattet who was behind the banner. He further says that they do not wish to comment on the matter. Managing director of Rosenborg Ballklubb, Tore Bjørseth Berdal, says the Molde supporters were moody, – Beyond that we have no comment. We expect that this is something Molde Football Club follows up with its supporters. General Manager in Rosenborg, Tore Bjørseth Berdal.

There are a lot of people, a lot of emotions and a lot going on. There is great interest in these matches and people express it in slightly different ways.
