Just under £15,000 the fine for racist abuse aimed at Emile Heskey. Absolutely diabolical. What does that say to the world? To me it doesn't say much, "kick racism out of football" is the slogan, but their hardly doing that are they. £15,000 out of some suit's back pocket. Wow, what a punishment. FFS the only way racists are going to learn is by *banning them from games, there should be zero tolerance to racism/discrimination. What's a fine going to do? Pfft... nothing. How does that effect the fans? It doesn't, I for one am absolutely appauled at this supposed "punishment".

A Fifa spokesman is quoted as saying:

"The Croatian Football Federation received a warning regarding its future conduct. Further infringements would lead to more severe sanctions by the FIFA Disciplinary Committee."

Please tell me why you would say that, any futher infringements? FFS it should be stopped here and now, why give it a chance to happen again?

*Banning fans may not be fair on others who didn't do it but what else can you do that will really get through to the idiots...

15,000 is a forking joke. Weren't the Spanish (?) fans banned from a few games for something like this?

I'm too sure on the Spanish being banned, but their racially abused England players before and were also just fined I think :S

Might as well of just let them off scott free (I wonder who scott was btw?) because this fine isn't going to punish them one bit.

They should have been made to play a few games behind closed doors at the very least.

The expression scot free derives from a medieval municipal tax levied in proportional shares on inhabitants, often for poor relief. This tax was called a scot, as an abbreviation of the full term scot and lot, where scot was the sum to be paid and lot was one’s allotted share. (This tax lasted a long time, in some places such as Westminster down to the electoral reforms of 1832, with only those paying scot and lot being allowed to vote.) So somebody who avoided paying his share of the town’s expenses for some reason got off scot free.

So to be brief, there wasnt anyone called Scot :moon:

p.s. Yes i am bored

IMO the majority of fans, players and all associated with the nation have a collective responsibility to stop this because the longer this sort of 5hit goes on the more it condones it by default.

Once they all get punished then it'll force them to change. Only a few idiots were involved in throwing that flare at Dida but the club and the fans were collectively punished and rightly so imo.

It's stopped in the UK so why not elsewhere, and as monu says once the country's FA doesn't get the cash and the fans don't get to see the games they'll soon change because the minority will be made to feel alienated by the majority if they try to do this. At the moment it's like they're condoned.

I doubt it. It only takes one person in the crowd to start something and then others will just join in with them.
