Inter Milan banned...

[Northstander]

Exactly....Italian football....Uefa's darlings!!!

What a joke. It should have been three years.

I'd have fined them £10M & barred Inter from playing any future new signings in Europe for 20 games and make them let their fans in for free for those 20 games.

UEFA are toothless at present

at the end of the day they've got 132,000 pound fine, the largest in UEFA's history, and they will lose 7-8 million euros in gate receipts. They get another two games if they misbehave again. That seems fair to me. We deserved a record fine, but not a years ban from Europe. In any case, we've lost a lot of money out of it so its near enough the same in terms of the money we will lose.

dont think uefa would have ever done any more(apart from the fine) without really causing more violance. it was a small and stupid minority who set out to ruin the game. im sure many inter fans are ashamed of there owen fans who took part in the violance.

Maybe, but Italian fans are notorious for always having a 'section' of troublemakers. This will continue until they are made a huge example of - which they have not.

The original Liverpool/Juve disaster was indeed tragic, but let's not ignore that it was also incited by an Italian mob who were doing things that the Liverpool faction were not going to live with. The stewards there do not handle things properly (i.e. flares and missiles getting inside the ground, throwing of coins etc.) and it will go on.
I have been to a music festival in Italy where there were idiots throwing coins at bands for no good reason (before they even played) except to behave badly.

Lets not think that the majority of English supporters are better behaved than Italian supporters. I've seen far less fights and general aggression not to mention heard less foul language in Italy than in England sitting in normal stands. The Ultras are a seperate case but generally the atmosphere in Italian stadiums in the "normal" sections is a lot better.

Huh Ajax got banned from Europe for a year in the late 80's because one idiot Ajax fan throw a Iron Bar at a opposing player. I think Inter should have got a bit more, even though I have a soft spot for Inter.

but they're on the continent. Surely you'd want them shot or something?

In 2001 Inter were .... and fined £35,000

£35k !!
I don't know what a ticket would have cost in those days but for simple maths, lets say £35 - that's covered off by 1,000 punters on the gate at just one game, PEANUTS!

Inter Milan have proved that they are bigger than EUFA and that they cannot be ommitted from competitions.

I said officials and players. most of what happened at hysel was 1) fans fighting between each other and 2) a wall that collapsed due to the stadium not being up to the now required safety standards. Italian teams diud not get banned after that as it was all blamed on the Liverpool fans and to this day it has never made sense to me considering a Juve fan actually pulled out a gun ( video evidence of this is available and has been well documented ) and went to shoot a Liverpool fan. I am not justifying what happened as it was a very sad day in football but it goes to show that although English fans are no worse than any other set of fans throughout the world it is just that uefa seem to have athing against us.

Accurate post but the reason they punish us the most is because we're the only ones who export it?

Wrong it was 132,000 swiss francs (approx £35k) I believe

You're wrong codger. 300,000 swiss francs, £132,000.

 

[BensGrandad]

According to the news they said 132,000 swiss francs approx £35k.

Whatever it is a mere pittance as to what the fine would have been had it been for the semi final Chelsea vs Liverpool.

Also one of those clubs would have been banned from Europe for probably 3 years.

All the Italian news sites are reporting it as 300,000 swiss francs and the BBC gives the figure as £132,000.

Think about it. It's a record fine. Inter got fined £35000 for the trouble against Alaves and this was a lot worse and this is a record fine. No way is it £35000.

 

[BensGrandad]

My apologies Sky have just shown the fine as £132,000.

Not a problem....

I look forward to some decent away trips in the CL next season and to the home match in the last 16.

Well worth the effort the lads last Tuesday.

Milano Siamo NOI, Solo NOI

Linesman's fault. Shevcunto should have been off

 

[sydney]

double standards as far as i'm concerned...............if english had been involved the book would have been well and trully lobbed, the financial aspect of the fine is small change to a club like inter.................also the 5-0 agg award is total tosh.
