Sanctions in Football a joke?

[under the bar]

Does anyone else think the sanctions in football are a joke?  Take Rangers & Chelsea as examples.  Rangers get 'warnings' from UEFA for crowd trouble, racist chanting, attacking opposing team buses and then their fans turning city centre Manchester into a riot zone.   

Chelsea tap-up players (the recruitment of virtually their whole underage team has been subject to investigation), threaten and accuse officials & opposing players and cause on and off-field trouble every time they get knocked out of Europe.

Fine of £8,000 and a ban that then gets suspended is hardly going to teach either a lesson.

Is it not time UEFA got tough with the pigs at the trough?? UEFA adopting a "slap on the wrist" approach to sanctions doesn't do much to enforce proper conduct.

Totally agree.  Oink,Oink.

Maybe it would help if you read the title of the thread first.   

Do you go into Off-Licence looking to buy a pair of shoes?

The Derry wans won't be laughing at the joke tonight!
