    Yes, no racism or anything nasty to do with football in Russia. It is a mystery why they keep getting fined for it. FIFA with its sense of priorities fined us and Sweden £50,000 for wearing unauthorised socks at the Wotld cup whilst fining Russia £7,500 for the unfurling of a neo Nazi banner.

    Maybe £50k is what Nike withheld from FIFA for the transgression?

    I think the Russians got a reduced fine because only neo Nazi's actually understood that there was a neo Nazi message on the banner (apparently it was a flag with '88' written on it).

    Is that not two fat ladies, so they fined them for displaying a sexist homophobic banner.
