I wonder what UEFA will do about this?

Probably fine the club £30k like normal.

Surely it's a matter for the Italian FA to sort out? Uefa only gets involved in its own competitions.

It seems only British FA's are trying to take racism and sectarianism seriously.

banning clubs from international competition would be a start.

The local FA will probably not do that. However, UEFA should be able to act.

This has been going on for years. When Leeds played Lazio many years ago, when we where decent and in champions league, the amount of abuse our black lads got was just unbelievable and this was from some of the Lazio players not just the fans. It was constant all through the game. If I remember rightly on one player (Think his name began with a S and he was a midfielder) got fined and NO BAN. Mind you, if it was an English club that behaved like this UEFA, Cameron and a few others would be calling for a ban from Europe for that team.

UEFA are soft, soft on all sorts and don't want to upset anyone that isn't part of the FA. I mean, how could Glatasary fans kill 2 Leeds fans and then not get kicked out the competition. Disgusting.

If this was happening at an English club I imagine UEFA would be spitting feathers over this.

With a total pleb in charge of football as a whole at the moment what else do you expect?? No place for it in football or life for that matter.

It's not a suprise is it....Football is corrupt, Italy as a country is institutionally corrupt and guess what the Italian FA hands out a meaningless fine. Shock.
