Comments on: Racism in football – a proper issue for UEFA/FIFA to tackle… http://www.inthestands.co.uk/3281#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed Football banter for the masses Thu, 29 Jul 2010 19:28:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ash http://www.inthestands.co.uk/3281/comment-page-1#comment-1316 Ash Wed, 09 Sep 2009 00:33:35 +0000 http://www.inthestands.co.uk/?p=3281#comment-1316 the way i see it is if there was a couple of opposition fans in the home stand chanting racist homophobic xenophobic and any-phobic chants then stewards can pick out these idiots and the club can punish it in house and with police. what you see across europe is thousands in crowds dishing out this abuse so it ultimately is the club responsible which uefa/fifa should be responsible with dealing with. giving out say 3 point deductions hits the club/country massively and so it would increase their willingness to control this sort of behaviour. after all whats a 600 euro fine to a la liga side anyway... the way i see it is if there was a couple of opposition fans in the home stand chanting racist homophobic xenophobic and any-phobic chants then stewards can pick out these idiots and the club can punish it in house and with police.

Germany 06 went off pretty much without a hitch I think? I also hate how high and mighty the American's get about racism in Europe, I mean, it's not like there are any far right movements in America, right? Typical American over-journalism though.

Point deductions seems the easiest way to do this to me, see how long it continues then. Yeah it seems ridiculous banning players for diving when there are much more serious problems in the game.
