Unknown perpetrators covered the walls of the Municipal Stadium in Rzeszow with anti-Semitic slogans. One of the slogans was "Beak noses, Jude". The perpetrators also painted the Star of David on the gallows and next to it Oi, the skinhead outcry. The slogan "Beak noses" appeared in Rzeszow for the first time two years ago. In May 2010, pseudo fans of Resovia hung out two large anti-Semitic banners during a football derby match. On one of them it was written "Death to beak noses" and on the other there was a crossed out caricature of a Jew wearing a skull cap. A few days after the derby match the police apprehended hooligans who held up the banners. Six pseudo fans were charged with insulting the Jewish people.
