Really? It’s only Cove and you’re at home as well. I have already praised Rangers for their handling of this situation, but they’ve let themselves down here.

I can only assume that Rangers believe the severity of the suspensions is too harsh, not that they believe there was no wrong doing.

You feel that if Gerrard had more cover at right back he may be less keen to throw out the overblown rhetoric.

I've got no issue them appealing the decision. After all, a 4 match ban for breaking regulations he was very well aware of and ones his teammates (in Jones and Edmundson) fell foul of earlier in the season, may or may not be about right. However trying to use the "he's a good player so he should be given a break" logic is embarrassing stuff.

Absolute riddy of a statement from the Sevcovian-in-chief.

Maybe there are mitigating circumstances that should indeed be taken into account, who knows? If so, fine.

But pleading to have him let off because he may or may not become a good player is awful. Maybe that's how things are done in England though. Didn't Shearer and Gerrard himself get away with murder (not literally) while England national team stalwarts?

Kamara should not be banned. I doubt UEFA would have the stomach for that fight.

I'd imagine if there is any evidence that Kamara has indeed assaulted Kudela, then Rangers will likely state that Kamara was acting out of anger and distress brought on by Kudela's actions. It may allow for any potential suspension to be mitigated/reduced.

I'm not sure if these "proceedings" mean they already have grounds/evidence to take action or if it is just the beginning of the fact-finding exercise.

I would hope that the proceedings against Kamara would be a quick wrap of the knuckles for putting one on Kudela in the tunnel (if that is in fact what he did, I hae ma doots).

A good 6-8 game ban for Kudela would send a signal that UEFA was in fact serious about racism. Again, I hae ma doots, but I'm hopeful.

They’ve already conducted preliminary fact finding, so I’d imagine this is them testing the waters. They already have a fairly good idea of what happened.

UEFA trying to hand Kamara a five game ban will go down like a lead balloon in the court of public opinion, and will be correctly recognised by all sensible people as enabling racism.

The punishments are already set out in the UEFA Rules. Kudela is a minimum ten game ban. Kamara’s is set at five.

UEFA & FIFA have been enabling racism for years with their pathetic so called sanctions.

I hope this means UEFA are confident that he is guilty of what he is accused of and believe they will take action against him. I really don't want to hear of "insufficient evidence" after all of this.

For context, Article 14 is "Racism and other discriminatory conduct" and Article 15 is "Misconduct of players and officials".

 

I’m not the brightest button on the jacket, but wtf is this? They’ve opened disciplinary procedures against the Prague player, suspended him for one game before anything proven, and said that that doesn’t prejudice any further ruling. You would presume that Kamara has been charged because of the allegation of assault in the tunnel.

You would think that if both players are found guilty of what they are charged  with, Kamara will get a 2 game ban, and the Prague player a 12 match ban minimum.

Unpopular view, but if UEFA have any evidence of Kamara assaulting the guy then it puts them in a difficult position. It sets a dangerous precedent if they effectively green light assault in certain circumstances, even if the court of public opinion wouldn't mind it.

Clearly, Kudela would need to be given a very hefty punishment that outweighed anything Kamara got or it would be a farce.
