Turks complain about treatment by Swiss

Why, oh why would anybody be surprised by what happened on Wednesday night, not least FIFA. The Turks has a long reputuation of behaving like animals at football matches. We all know that animals are usually locked up in cages, so the Turkish fans that rampage in stadiums, along with players and police that lash out and disregard law and order should be watching football matches in cages until some time that they can behave like civilised human beings. Is it any wonder that they behave so absurdly when they carry banners inciting hatred and violence, inflamming an already hostile atmosphere. Does it need to have 500 fans from another country to die in a Turkish gound before UEFA/FIFA takes action and punish?

Hear, hear even :D Yes, I am not sure what the UEFA or FIFA observers at Turkish home games have been observing over the years because they seem to have taken no action. There are repeated incidents similar to what happened to the Swiss yet nothing has been done. The away fans are abused and there is usually a free for all at the end of the games which the police join is against the away team.
