UEFA should treat Italian fans like this

Fan gets five-year ban for racist abuse

A Millwall fan who shouted racist abuse at Leeds and Senegal striker El-Hadji Diouf has been banned from football matches for five years and fined.

Gerrard Scanlon, 53, was arrested after Sky Sports News television broadcast footage that appeared to show some of the London club's supporters abusing Diouf.

The delivery driver admitted in court on Wednesday that he had unleashed a foul-mouthed tirade and was fined STG425 ($A630). He was told to pay further costs of STG85 and a STG15 victim surcharge, London's Metropolitan Police said.

Scanlon launched his abusive rant during an English second-tier Championship match at Millwall's Den ground in southeast London on November 18.

Allegations of racism later appeared online before Sky aired the incriminating footage.

Millwall Football Club said it was "appalled" by the clips, while captain Danny Shittu said he was "deeply saddened" by what he saw in the documentary.

The club promised to ban any individuals for life if they were found guilty. It had barred Scanlon for life even before the criminal case, it said in a statement.

Millwall have long had a reputation among rival English clubs for violent and racist fans, although Lions officials have tried hard to rid the club of their unwanted supporters.

No one Likes us, We don't care!!

Should give the bloke a medal for abusing that low life piece of cabernet. Spits at people (kids in one instance), beats women, racially abuses kids...shiraz HIM!

we're racist and violent you know. We eat babies you know.


These things happen at every football ground, we're just the scapegoats for it all and most of us don't give a shiraz!

Millwall have banned the guy for life, what have other clubs done to their racist fans?

So you only banned 1 person for all of that chanting

The point of the article was to show that even Millwall - who are claimed to be the worst supporters in England - take strong measures against offenders when they are identified.

The Italians don't even TRY to identify troublemakers let alone punish them severely.

Know things before you speak. Juventus ban people if they are identified as making racist chants in the stadium. Lazio have been banning fans from the stadium for the past decade if need be.

[Old Master]

But how many have they Identified?

They don't even have a crowd security system equivalent to English League One standard!

[Juventino]

I know Juve have kicked out as many as required. Could be a single person on one occasions, could be dozens. Just because the English media don't report that - which they never would, doesn't fit the typical stereotype - doesn't mean it does not occur.

How many have been banned for the racism regarding balotelli?

[Juventino]

Couldn't tell you a number, if any, have been banned.

[Old Master]

I see Lazio are being forced to play a UEFA Cup game behind closed doors after their fan's recent racism attacks.

Not before time!

[Juventino]

Well, not really for attacks in a physical sense - if that is a reference to the Spurs incident, that didn't really have much to do with Lazio more so than right-wing people, who may have been Lazio fans, but were also found to have Roma fans in the pack - but for Nazi salutes in the last match against Monchengladbach.

you can verbally attack someone!

[Juventino]

That you can, perhaps the word didn't fit in the context here, but I can also see the point. Just clarifying if the reference was to the incident I mentioned.

I assume not, otherwise any crime in any city could be blamed on football. Football clubs can only contain what goes on in their premises.

The way it was reported would leave many to believe it was a fan attack. Some issues run deeper than football.
