Steven Caulker's 2 game ban for the England U21s has been overturned on appeal, but Tom Ince has had his one game ban upheld.
Serbia's fitness coach has seen his one year ban doubled and midfielder Nikola Ninkovic has had an additional game added to his 2 game ban.
The Serbian U21s will also now have to play two of their games behind closed doors, rather than one.

Looks highly likely that three of our players will be part of the back four at the U21 Euros this summer in Israel, at the moment.
Should be a good experience for them and it'll be interesting to see how many of them are still at the club next season.
I can't see Caulker going anywhere, but Rose's future is definitely up in the air right now and Smith's loan at Millwall has gone very well so far, so he'll be looking to step up.
 
Glad Steven has been cleared,but Tom Should have been as well,and Serbia delt with more harsly,but as usual,eufa are thinking about Money
 
He hasn't been cleared exactly, he's gotta do a day of community service. Wtf?
I still haven't seen any clip showing anything that deserves punishment tbh

it Said a reprimand,on the new's,i don't call community service that,wonder if he has to do it in Serbia? :emoticon-0112-wonde
 
A days Community Service 'in football' as designated by UEFA.......

As I understand it, most of the players already engage in several days of similar club-sponsored activity every month anyway. But seeing as they didn't appear to substantiate anything that Caulker may have done wrong, it seems strange that he should receive any sort of punishment.

The derisory increase in the sanctions against the racist Serbs just about sums up UEFA.
 
Ah ok, thanks relayer. Thought he was gonna be given a boiler suit and sent out to clean the streets or something, lol.

3?! Caulker, Smith and.... ?

Good to hear he got his ban overturned. Ince's is strange though, I assume something was picked up on a camera angle that we didn't see at the time but a one game ban is strange, if he was violent I'd have thought he'd get 2/3 and if it was only enough to get a one game ban then it was probably minor enough to just forget about.
