Hope this isn't what the European Championshipa are remembered for http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18363736
This is just the beginning unfortunately. Just like Qatar getting the World Cup and The Olympics going to China (who on earth sanctioned that one?) money must have changed hands to convince UEFA to have the tournament in a place like this. Big, big mistake.
That's one thing the FA should commended for is it's stance on racism and at last Platini and his cronies have been forced into realising it is a problem especially in old Soviet block countries,Unfortunately the decision had been made to hold it in Poland and Ukraine when UEFA didn't give a sh1t about racism,Even though we expect to hear racist chants on tv during the tournament the only good thing that should come of it is that major tournaments will not be held in countries like these again.
Just had to google that to find out where the bloody hell it was,I think we can safely say that those winter olympics should be incident free as long as Jamaica doesn't enter a bobsleigh team sorry chaps.
You will find that there are a lot of coloured folks in the winter olympics, the US & Canada has many athletes who are, and there are a lot of europeans from various countries have ethnic minorities who compete there.
Didn't know that mate though i must confess i haven't watched any winter sports for many a year,Let's hope that those olympics pass off without incident then.
Had to look it up too! To save anyone else the bother Sochi is in Russia on the Black Sea close to the border with Georgia.
It's a damn shame that a supposed festival of football could be spoilt with reports of this. But it's early doors, so let's hope for the best, even though the signs are not promising. Trouble is, with the likes of Platini at the head of the governing body & even worse Blatter, at the World governing body, it doesn't fill you full of confidence that these cronies have the interests of anyone or anything good involved with football, other than themselves & 'fat' brown envelopes....
The Jamaica bob sleigh team were treated like gold at the Calgary Winter Olympics in Canada , treated almost as good as " Eddie the eagle "
UEFA and FIFA only like dealing with racism when it's in Britain. Anywhere else and it's token fines and "Oh, really?! We thought they were saying something else!" This is just a warm up for the Russian one.
