that'll teach 'em...

...yeah; fifa coming down really strong on croatia...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ls/7635854.stm

imagine if it had been england fans - blatter and platini would be falling over themselves to issue bans and fines and excecutions

[big screen satellite]

yeah that'll hit the racist fans hard

they won't even attempt to put anything in place because £15k is absolutely nothing - its basically acknowledgement and nothing more....

basically fifa is saying racial abuse is ok really...

A statement from Fifa said: "Racism has no place in football".

ok then, kick out Croatia from all tournaments, rather than fine them a piffling amount - you wankers - its not like its the first time....

this will never ever be resolved. ever.

[Rog]

I am lost for words with this..........and its not the first time they have done this either. Throw the racist bastards out of the tournament- its the only way to stamp this vileness out

[big screen satellite]

how on earth does a £15,000 fine to an entire Country FA compare to this recent club fine:

Watford FC
Crystal Palace FC v Watford FC
Football League Championship, 9 August 2008
Admitted breach of FA Rule E20 (a) – failure to ensure its players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion.

Result: Both Fined £25,000, severely censured and warned as to future conduct

from the FA disciplinary website...

FA gets £50,000 and clubs think twice about doing it again.... because its hit them hard - because to them £25k is a lot of money.... the whole of world football above the FA is fucked up.

I can just visualise platini and blatter kissing the croat FA's arse. bunch of c**ts

[jole]

Why the hell should Croatia have to be thrown out of the tournament, and what does Croatian FA has to do with racism?
I am not defending couple of complete idiots that were insulting English player on racial basis, but people that come to the stadium unfortunately have the liberty to say whatever they want no matter how stupid and ignorant it is, and no penalty will change that cause its not coming from that idiots pocket.
There is no reason for calling anyone a c**t and attacking Croatia like its the only country with group of fans that have radical views, and are of course a minority. There has been a lot of racial incidents in Premier league not so long ago as i recall, should those clubs be thrown out of it just cause some people hate others?
I think that football institutions should deal with football and leave the punishing or education for those whose job it is.

[Rog]

yeah, you would say that

[Rog]

......and croatia is not the only country, macedonia and most other eastern european so-called supporters are mostly racist....not all, but most, and jole, i aint saying you are a racist as i don't know you.....in fact i would like to meet you and talk footy over a large number of beers as i feel in my bones that you are a nice guy

[jole]

Well thanks Rog u seem like nice guy too but i cant agree with u, again. Racism is not specific to eastern Europe, it happens everywhere, England, Germany, France, Italy or Spain. Only difference is when it happens there it s a little incident but when it happens in Croatia then we are a racist country.

[Rog]

wrong again jole! racist chanting at football games is now only heard in macedonia spain and croatia in recent times........most other countries are more enlightened
