"viking bonex"

Viking is the name of PERSIB (Bandung Soccer Association) supporters club. Bonex (also Bonek), which stands for bondo nekat (have nothing to lose), is the name of PERSEBAYA (Surabaya Soccer Association) supporters club.

The latter is notoriously known for being ruthless hooligans. I'm not sure if the former is any better. Its members are known to be destructive too in many occasions.

Those riding on the train roof are Vikings on their way to PERSIB's home game against PERSISAM (Samarinda Soccer Association) yesterday.

yippee! (viva PERSIB)

These PERSIB (Bandung football team) supporters from the satellite town of Padalarang in the west of Bandung used the KRD commuter train to go into the city and watch their favorite team play. Along the way they would do this and shout and tout "viva PERSIB!".
