"Are uefa going to re-instate Everton into the euro cup tp apologise for the post-Heysel ban?"

No point, you'd be out in five minutes as usual.

Still, at least it gave you the opportunity to bring up Heysel - you must be very proud of yourself.

I'm a rs hating Evertonian, villian, but even I think you're bang off there, if your reference to the sun refers to Hillsboro. If it does, sort your head out you daft ignorant t%*$!

<I am disgusted with UEFA's decision. sure liverpool fans were incovenienced, but that is no way as improtant as the issue of racism.>

Erm, hello, (dink, dink dink), McFly, anyone home?

Athletico WILL be punished AT A TIME when only the OFFENDING CLUB will suffer, & not at the expense of the travelling fans of an opposing club!!!

I have spoken..

Instead of neutral venues or games behind closed doors, where plenty of employees and 'friends' always seem to manage to attend, why don't UEFA reverse the fixtures and play them away. The offending club would lose the revenue, with the time UEFA take to investigate their next opponents would be able to make contingency plans and they would be able to be as strict as they like over whether to allow 'away' fans in or not.

there should be 2 solutions....

1. ban home fans from attending any of their champs league away games and deduct 3 points straight away.

2. all profits from champs league home and away games of ath madrid to be paid to the 'kick racism out of football' campaign

Hi all. I am a spanish -Real Madrid supporter, by the way- I was there, watching the match. I saw what really happened, so please, could you stop talking about "racist" nonsense? Just watch the official video and see what kind of "nice" french supporters were dealing with spanish police. This is not about "racism", but Platini's abuse of authority. Not more lies!

I am an English - Everton supporter, by the way I was there, watching the match Spain v England in 2004. I saw what really happened, so please, could you stop talking about "there was no racism" nonsense?

Amazing how there's a discussion here about racism when there's no evidence of any racist abuse in the stadium. UEFA never said the ban is for racist abuse! Marseille's ultras started rioting when the police removed one fascist banner they're carrying. The ban is basically based on the alleged overreaction by the police and lack of organization while dealing with security issues. Normally when guests caused trouble the club punished was always the guest's one. Since UEFA -and Platini, a close friend of Marseille's chairman- are punishing the home club for incidents provoked by the Marseille's ultras they just spiced the whole thing up with some additional minor "reasons" like "the coach abused a player", "racist abuse by fans" (there's NO evidence of that, none of the media reported that in their cronics, one of Marseille's black players stated there was no racist abuse at all, while other stated there was some probably mistaking the "Kun, Kun, Kun" chants...) The whole thing with the racist abuse is a lie to justify & make this very strange ban more popular. Probably Atletico must be punished for not being able to deal with Marseille's hooligans in a proper way and Olympique for the extreme violence of their hooligans -who btw caused massive incidents again last weekend- but the whole discussion about massive racism in that match is simply a complete lie. If one team deserves a point deduction that would be Olympique
