    So what happens if a couple of celtic supporters put on a rangers jerseys and go to Ibrox every week and shout racist abuse??? will rangers end up getting relegated?

    sounds stupid but how will they be able to control this?

    And what classifys as racism? other than monkey chanting

    Its a start, how they would rule it? well if you listen to alot of games in spain it is very clear that there is racial abuse directed at players so very easy to rule. Also the Lazio fans are a bit racial:D

    I see your point even though I'd reckon that case would be highly unlikely to happen. That's why aswell as punishing the clubs I strongly believe they shou;ld punish the offenders! It isn't rocket science. there's so many cameras and microphones and so many decent fans at games that it is very easy to catch the racist offenders. Catch them and fu
    ck em in jail I say.

    All I hope is that FIFA sticks to this stance. However I have to ask why haven't they taken this line sooner? Racism at football matches is nothing new.
