Rangers fined £13,000 for 1st offence for illicit chanting, £40,000 more recently for PSV game (2nd offence?) Celtic fined £13,000 for 1st offence for illicit chanting Zenit SP fined £2100 for racist chanting. Not their first offence for this either. they've been fined more times than Ranger for various things including racist chanting and fireworks. Porto fined £15,000 for monkey noises towards balotelli & toure Man City fined £25,000 for taking to the field 1 minute late for the second half. where the **** do they get these penalties from?
UEFA are clueless ****ers. Fans bring signs to Polish & Russian football telling African players to "Go Home" and **** all is done about it. I get a feeling that the big clubs in Europe are sick of FIFA/UEFA and an implosion will happen soon. FIFA & UEFA need the big European clubs onside as the Champions League makes way too much money.
Can you imagine if Rangers fans did monkey noises? we'd get banned for 5 years or something. <onestruggle>
Football's governing bodies are well known for judicial inconsistency. Rio Ferdinand got an 8 month ban for missing a drug test in 2003 whereas Man City Christian Negouai player did the same thing around the same time and the FA gave him a slap on the wrist.
