For years now Serie A has been crumbling through the lack of respect of people in the game for the game. The racism is still a strong part of the Italian league as is the "acceptable" match fixing.
The once great country has fallen into complete disarray in footballing terms and the league, staff, players and fans are in need of a stern wake up call.
However it will not happen with Platini in charge who seemingly is happy for anyone linked with the game to do what ever they wish, whether it brings disrespect to the game.
We can all remember that Franz Beckenbauer (who still seems to have post world war syndrom) has come out and made comments based on his racial beliefs against England and was never repremanded for doing so. "Worst Night of my Life" - need I say more?
However I digress slightly from the point.....
The Lazio game on Thursday evening was an insight into the incapable governing body known as Uefa, the only thing that will change these FACTS are if Lazio are punished. The punishment should be disqualification from the Europa League. If the Italian fans wish to be racist they can do it in their own leagues not expect other countries that have moved on to put up with their ignorance.
A big change must happen in football (in these such countries) if we are to eject the racism out of the game. International and European disqualication is needed. The Ukraines and Polish should of had the European's stripped from them (Uefa did their best to cover up the monumental mistake of allowing them to host) and should not have been allowed to participate in the European club matches and International matches until their ways had changed. This should be the same for the likes of Italy.
I realise by releasing this article that it will carry repurcussions for me personal from silly ignorant emails, however the facts are simple, racism has no further place in football and only a strong hand can push it out. Platini is not the man for the job and he has tollerated it or simply turned a blind eye toward it. However I am proud to stand firm and say what everyone is thinking. Kick Racism out and kick the Italians out.
Viva La Revolution, Viva La Spurs...
