Stop comparing it to other incident's you bunch of nancy's. He deserved the fine, the other fine's weren't heavy enough. UEFA didn't go 'What Bendtner did was x times worse so we'll fine him x times more' they just punished him for what he did here (fairly enough). The Racism thing is another issue, the incidents aren't comparable.

Completely agree with you. Also, can you raise such comparisons to the corruption fines Uefa hand out? E.g. in Italy and Turkey. What are they like? I'm not too sure on the exact figures.

But surely UEFA has some sort of guidelines and consistency? Is there anything in football that carries a smaller fine than racism? How is fining someone 10k every going to make them address issues among their support?

Wow.

I completely agree.

Paddy Power agreed to pay Bendtner's fine. Advertising effect must have been a lot.

Hence the one game ban then as seemingly he never had to pay any fine himself.
