What an absolute joke! Should have fined them £1,000,000, that would have made them sit up and take notice.

Steven Caulker and Thomas Ince banned after Serbia fracas
Thomas Ince and Steven Caulker have been banned over incidents that took place during England's Under-21 1-0 win over Serbia in October.
Four Serbian players have also been banned, while two of their coaches are suspended for two years.
Uefa has ordered Serbia to play their next competitive under-21 match behind closed doors, and they have also been fined £65,000.
Ince and Caulker have been suspended for one and two matches respectively.
England's players were racially abused during the match in Krusevac.
Uefa said Serbia were punished due to the "improper conduct of its supporters during and at the end of the match, as well as for the improper conduct of the Serbia players at the end of the game".
Blackpool winger Ince, 20, will sit out England's under-21 game against Italy in June, while Tottenham defender Caulker, 20, will also be absent from the game against Norway in the same month.
Uefa's control and disciplinary body dismissed disciplinary proceedings opened against the Football Association.
Serbia assistant coach Predrag Katić has been banned from football for two years, with the final six months suspended for a probationary period of three years.
Fitness coach Andreja Milunovic has been banned from all football-related activities for two years, with the second suspended for a probationary period of three years.
Serbia players Ognjen Mudrinski and Nikola Ninkovic have already been suspended for a year by the Serbian Football Federation and they were handed respective three and two-match bans.
Goran Caušić has been suspended for four games and Filip Malbašić is banned for three matches.

Well yeah a heavy fine AND more games behind closed doors would have been better

Steven Caulker
What did Caulker do? Just for his involvement in the fracas? At least it means he wont get injured on international duty, so good news for us, bad news for him I suppose.
Absolutely pathetic. Uefa are a joke

The FA are set to appeal against Ince and Caulker's one and two match bans.
England's players were racially abused during the 1-0 victory in Krusevac.
Uefa will send the FA their full written reasons for their decision and the FA then have three days to decide whether to appeal.
But FA general secretary Alex Horne said: "It is The FA's vehement belief that its players and staff acted correctly in the face of provocation, including racist abuse and missiles being thrown.
"We are therefore surprised to see that two of our players have been given suspensions.
"We shall await Uefa's reasoning but it is our intention, at this stage, to support our players and appeal these decisions.
"We are disappointed with the sanctions levied by Uefa with regards to the racist behaviour displayed towards England's players.
"Let's be clear, racism is unacceptable in any form, and should play no part in football. The scenes were deplorable and we do not believe the sanction sends a strong enough message."

Ultimately a fine paid for by a Football Association has no impact on the supporters.
Only way to stop supporters behaving like this (beyond changing the whole racist culture of a country) is banning the country from playing games.

The irony is that the FA position of making a big deal of the Terry and Suarez situations makes England look worse. It gets loads of media coverage because we think it is wrong and that there is a problem that must be dealt with. Counties that deny the problem end up looking better in UEFA's eyes.
I wouldn't want us to become less concerned on the issue, but its annoying that we get the bad publicity for racism in football, when there are far worse places.

Agreed. Failing that, boycott playing against these countries, or clubs like Lazio. I do think that if we refused to play the return leg against Lazio we might get a sanction, but other clubs would follow our lead. Before long UEFA and even FIFA are going to get left behind by breakaway leagues, lets leave the racist Serbs to rot with them.

Yep. Anything to keep the sponsors happy and the money rolling in - hit down hard on the very serios offense that is illegal sponsorship, and brush racism under the carpet with a pro forma punishment. After all, you wouldn't want the product associated with stuff like racism and violence. That wouldn't be good for business.
