What a week for Caulker.
This is ridiculous though. "England Under-21 stars Steven Caulker and Thomas Ince have been handed bans for their part in the ugly clashes following last month’s victory over Serbia."
(2 match bans) Some of the Serbian players got 3/4 match bans.
You really couldn't make it up though. Players like Caulker subjected to horrific racial abuse from Serbian fascists - UEFA responds by banning Caulker and giving the laughable Serbian FA (who denied any racism in the stadium) a slap on the wrist.
I am not at all in favor of withdrawing from UEFA but it must now be said such a move is the only way to avoid the laughable priorities of UEFA (and FIFA).
Caulker banned by UEFA!

SO ...
UEFA policy:
Ignore any racist behaviour by fans, then punish anyone who complains about it, and anyone that may have been racist we will call "improper behaviour" and punish them for that.
The records will clearly show there is NO racism in UEFA
They must think we "the European population" are complete mugs. If this had been an organisation accountable to the public in any way they would be collecting their P45's before very long.

Earlier this week Serbia were fined 5000 Swiss Francs for incidents in a Wales game....about £3000....what a joke. UEFA are the JOKE. They are not fit for the purpose.

The Serbian FA got fined £65,000
Bendtner got fined £81,000 for having a Paddy Power logo on his pants...
We should pull all England teams out of Eufa until this is properly dealt with, it's ridiculous

It's quite obvious that money talks when it comes to UEFA and if they are not willing to listen then perhaps organisations that associate themselves with UEFA through sponsoship will.
A public driven exercise and pressure apon such organisations who most probably have their own serious view about racism would get pulses beating faster in the boardroom of UEFA.
