Why the Italians keep get given second chances is bullshit. Blatter and Platini need to get over their hatred of English football, and start sorting out the real problems in football.

That will never happen i'm afraid,this trouble with italian fans stabbing English fans has been going on for a long time.Blatter and Platini need to get over their hatred of English
.....We know what happened next,no way can you condone Heysel but how often can you turn the other cheek.The events in Rome in 1984 It can be argued that the Heysel Stadium Tragedy really began the year before. Liverpool had reached the European Cup Final for the fourth time in their history. The Final was to be held on the home ground of their opponents, AS Roma. After a tense game, Liverpool won in a penalty shoot-out. What received rather less coverage was the roaming scooter gangs hunting down Liverpool supporters, stabbing and slashing dozens, many of whom were family groups returning to hotels in the area. One 13-year-old boy was almost ripped apart, needing 200 stitches in his face alone. Many hoteliers refused to let their English guests in, either out of spite or for fear of subsequent attacks on their premises. There was little protection from the Italian Police, who routinely attacked and robbed English supporters in revenge for the defeat of the local team. That night, many desperate English fans, deserted by Italian coach drivers booked to drive them to Rome airport..............

platini needs a large, clown size shoe boot from uefa for allowing the final to be there....and the italian team/league really needs to be punished for never putting a stop to this.
did the roma / police ever get punished for the beat down they gave the rags?
