I mean since it would be happening to Inter I would laugh, but seriously? This is pathetic.Fenerbahce To Ask Uefa For Three Points From Inter Match
A Turkish lawyer has filed a complaint to Uefa after Inter wore a shirt with an offensive symbol, at least to Islamic culture, in their recent match against Fenerbahce.
A Turkish lawyer who's an expert on European law, Baris Kaska, is asking Uefa to cancel the three points Inter earned in their win against Fenerbahce in the recent Champions League match.
The Nerazzurri had beaten the Turkish champions 3-0 at home to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.
The reason for the appeal is unusual: the celebratory shirt for Inter's centenary worn by the team that night, and on several other occasions this season, offended many people in Turkey.
The shirt's scheme saw a big red cross on a white background, a symbol of the city of Milan, and reminded many of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is considered offensive in Islamic culture.
Inter consciously did not wear their 'centenary shirt' in their first match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul, but at home, they did not think it was necessary to do the same.
However, the very sensitive Turkish media reacted bitterly and that led to the official appeal filed by Kaska, who announced this decision during an interview to Barcelona daily La Vanguardia.
This is a joke...

Is it the red cross emblem?
I don't like lies. I have understood your market where sometimes lies sell more than truth. This is your life and I don't like it. I understand your work and I have to work with you, but the protection of my group is much more important than you

3 points because the other teams shirt hurt your feelings?pires7 wrote:why would they consider it to not be offensive just because they are in Italy!
should never have worn the shirt but lets hope it is a case of lesson learnt, wont happen again!
ridiculous, next teams will demand 3 points after playing Barca and Chelsea because the fluro shirt blinded them and they couldn't see the ball.
we have never lost points for displaying nazi flags and racist banners so why should anyone be penalized for wearing and approved top.
was mearly suggesting, that in future Inter wouldn't wear the top v Turkish teams!Laziale wrote:3 points because the other teams shirt hurt your feelings?pires7 wrote:why would they consider it to not be offensive just because they are in Italy!

No way should the points be stripped, they could have complained at kickoff if it was that disturbing!
