UEFA should mete proper sentences to the nation's FA like banning their football team from major competitions until the culprits are banned.
The time for turning the other cheek and ignoring it has long passed because we've found it doesn't actually do anything.



Unfortunately Uefa is led by a Frenchman, and not to appear racist or narrow minded myself, 90% of us know what the French think about the rest of the world.

I'm on the train at the moment but once I'm in the office I'll post a comment by Platini made about 3 years ago.

And Fabs is married to a buxom Muslim chick so no he's not a racist... ;)

Well he ended up dead of course, but his message worked didn't it, well at least most African Americans, and Euro Americans give him credit for it.

What gza said.

And its not racism just because you think the French are arrogant and look down their nose at the rest of the world. Its stating the obvious.

In one hand there's issues with racism in eastern europe

the other hand the brisith media happily spout any negative propoganda about eastern europe, the middle east, asia and aouth america and make things look 100 times worse thn they actually are.

I mean i could tell straight away that the panorama doc was looking at the most extreme right wing fans and making it out as if all of Poland was that bad, not even taking in con sideration how most international fan bases are VERy family orientated.

:think:

If it was a Dispatchers documentary, I'd agree. But I usually find Panorama to be free of bogus agendas.

I can't remember the documentary word for word, but I wasn't under the impression that they were insinuating that all fans were that way... but do they have to?

You could take your worst example of hooliganism and racism from this country, and it wouldn't be ANYWHERE near as bad as what was shown in that documentary. When was the last time you saw 2000 men women and children doing Nazi Salutes and chanting anti-semetic verses towards fans at a Premiership match?

It doesn't have to happen at every game for it to be a problem, it's the fact that it happens on the scale that it does (the amount of people) and how it's tolerated (by officials, players and other fans).

It was televised (not just by the people at Panorama) and obvious, but the most ridiculous part was the official (I think he was a senior FA member for Ukraine, or something like that) chosing to ignore 2000 Nazi salutes and lie through his teeth by saying "no, they weren't doing Nazi salutes, they were just pointing towards opposition fans" :dizzy:
