I know there's several threads about the alleged racist abuse of Rudiger last weekend, but I am a little disconcerted at a separate aspect of this.
What are the rules, procedures and consequences of alleged racist abuse at stadia?
The reason I am a little disconcerted is that it appears the player is the only one to have heard it (and may have been mistaken) - the ref almost certainly didn't (or he would have mentioned it), and yet he proceeded with the UEFA protocol of giving three warnings to the crowd.........if it turns out that Rudiger was mistaken, then there could have been, presumably, quite severe consequences for Spurs wholly on the basis of an allegation that could turn out to be unfounded......to me, that is a little worrying, particularly when we have the easilly mistaken "who let the yids out" chant.
