Edit: Seems like someone was jumping the gun.

However, doesn't take away from the fact that ;

This is a couple of days after UEFA made it pretty clear they view 'illegal advertising' as a worse offence than racism after fining Bendtner £80k for dropping his shorts and Croatia £64k for their fans racist behaviour during the euros.

They've refused Spains request for a minutes silence for Miki Roque, the 23 yr old spanish player who died recently.

And no, it's not against the rules. As there was a minutes silence for Platinis mate, Thierry Roland, before the France-Sweden match.

I am sad of this news. Is there a reason why?

[rcummins1]

Surprising, seen as Platini is usually so far up Spain's ******* he comes out the other end.

[ForensicShoe]

Platini is such a ****.

[DaveSmith99]

This makes absolutely no sense, cannot see any reason for refusing

[JoeK]

I saw a tweet which basically said the teams should kick off and just stand there for a minute. I hope they do this. There's no reason why they can't hold a minute's silence, it just makes no sense.

I hope this has nothing to do with Spain beating France last weekend...

[Student2806]

What do you expect when UEFA is run by a biased, dictatorial arsewipe...

[Alexx53]

Disgraceful. They want to respect the death of a 23 year old; why can't they? There's no reason why they can't, it would make absolutely no difference to the game.

*****.


Edit: OK, apparently UEFA haven't had any requests for a minutes silence. Doesn't change how I think about them though. See R4ndom's post below somewhere.

Platinis a noob

Can't figure out who I dislike more out of Platini and Blatter.

Spain o.0

Something must have happened between Barca officials and UEFA

They haven't rejected, they haven't received any requests.

Still they refused the minute of silence for the Spanish coach Preciado before the Italy - Spain.

And they have not permited black bracelets for the Spanish team.

What's Platini done wrong btw? He seems like a decent UEFA president to me.
