User:Goalandgoal is for some time playing a highly disruptive and political game at Steaua București and FCSB. Earlier it was Dante4786 who made the same judicial type remarks like this one but I am unsure about his status in this case. Today User:Giegiewik showed up, a brand new account. As second edit, he made a technically correct addition of a source to the disambiguation page Steaua București, showing the same POV in its editing Goalandgoal is showing. The same happens with this edit. The Banner talk 15:07, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

 * Goalandgoal is ✅ to Giegiewik. I'm not seeing enough evidence to run a check on Dante4786, but they didn't come up in the checks that I ran on the others, and I do not believe they are the same person. Sock indeffed and tagged; it's Goalandgoal's first offence, so have given them a month off.  Girth Summit  (blether)  16:54, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

There is a long history of disruptive POV-editing on the disambiguation page Steaua București, more or less about the case: who is the real "Steaua București". The now blocked User:Goalandgoal was one of the main users involved in this conflict but tried to solve the issue with sockpuppetry. Recently the new user User:Topcalcio joined in the fracas with [this edit]. Also the new user User:Realnewsnews did the same here and here. Plus in a load of other articles. I do not think the new accounts are genuine as they all make the same edit as Goalandgoal. The Banner talk 11:57, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment - I've not come across the sockpuppeteer before, but I'm convinced that User:Realnewsnews and User:Topcalcio are the same person, based on editing patterns. – PeeJay 11:37, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I've just come across doing the exact same thing. Added above. – PeeJay 12:41, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

 * - looks likely - worth a check for others given the number of accounts here. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 17:59, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

Looks like a reincarnation of Goalandgoal. He makes the same type of Steaua București centrered edits as earlier sockpuppets here and here. His user page is just as short as, for example, earlier sockpuppets. The Banner talk 10:38, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

 * ✅ to the last batch of socks, and to the master. Blocked and tagged. This is the third time, so I've marked the master as banned per WP:3X. Girth Summit  (blether)  11:46, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Goalandgoal and related sockpuppets were constantly pushing the "one and only" Steaua Bucharest. VladGeniul is doing that here and here too, shortly after a protection expired. In the mean time he is trying to change the name of CSA Steaua Bucharest to a completely different name here and here, what fit in the trend of editwarring that Goalandgoal and other sockpuppets had before being banned. Here and here he tries to wipe out the history of the club to make his preferred option look better (I call that plain vandalism). This account looks to be created to circumvent the prior given ban.

 * They geolocate to the same city as previous socks, but are using a different network.   Girth Summit  (blether)  14:22, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
 * VOA-blocked. Didn't look further than that, and I don't think it really matters too much. Closing. --Blablubbs (talk) 15:16, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
