I was being sarcastic. It's the home and away theme song. It was supposed to be funny. Clearly I failed.

Russia have been given a suspended six-point deduction by Uefa after their supporters attacked stadium stewards following their opening Euro 2012 4-1 win against Czech Republic.

Four members of stadium staff are reported to have needed hospital treatment following the incident.

Supporters also set off fireworks and displayed a nationalist flag.

The penalty will apply to the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, and also includes a fine of £96,000 (120,000 euros).

You know what will happen. Even if UEFA invoked this and deducted them the points, it would be overturned on appeal

I'm not sure who's on that flag, but the text is the most insulting part IMO. D you realize that Poland only broke away for the Soviet Union within the last 30 years? That Poland was occupied by the Soviets for decades!?

For Russians to come to Poland with a flag that reads, THIS IS RUSSIA, is simply one enormously disrectful WUM.

Its so easy to be offended these days. For me the words "THIS IS RUSSIA" just pointed out that it was the Russian fans. I wonder if anyone noticed that (unlike England fans against France, which thankfully didn't last long) there was no booing of the russian national anthem by the poles ? The march shouldn't have been allowed and was a massive WUM, but a banner in a stadium ? Not for me.

Out of curiosity, how old are you?

Not that I see its got much to do with the discussion, I'm more than old enough to remember Poland occupied by the SU, in fact old enough to have worked for the "opposition" in Germany when it was at its height. You ?

Thanks, I thought it looked great, yes a bit gladiatorial, but it added to the atmosphere and images of the game and tournament for me. I can't remember seeing a banner that big before, certainly not at an international tournament, I assume they were allowed to take it in and show it.

Yeah I;m torn. Big colourful flag = good

The words and picture = just too provacative given their history.

Takes some great minds in replacing "SPARTA" in "THIS IS SPARTA" with "RUSSIA".
