Being racist/sectarian can often be intwined with political displays, sadly even more these days but you can't blanket it all as the same hence why we keep getting constant nonsensical fines yet we haven't had a ban from Uefa of any real meaning, certainly not a points deduction. I think everyone knows the UEFA system is a bit of whip round for them really. They obviously do take action over actual racist actions eventually but you simply can't give it the same sanctions as political gestures.
Eh? A club appeals something that they don't believe they are guilty of, automatically makes them guilty?
