What should Turkey's punishment be?

[Q Exp]

You're the boss of FIFA in charge of handing out sentences. You've seen the behavior of Turkish fans, players and even a coach during WC Qualifying. What sentence would you put on Turkey and their FA?

[edvc_van]

2012 world cup? what cup is that?

Oh yeah, after banning the hymns, Sepp will decide to space up to 6 years every World Cup. That's clever.

I must be really falling apart over here. The poll should say 2010 World Cup. :o My bad....

[Mark424]

My "OTHER" is a sensible 8 match closed-door ban with a warning that if there is another violation it will be exclusion from an UEFA or FIFA tournament.

[prymetyme]

they defenetly deserve a steep penalty, involving a ban and large fine

A little background here? What were the offenses?

[glennaldo_sf]

I say draw them in a group with Greece, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Armenia, and Isreal. :D

Seriously though, I think suspending them from playing 5-6 competitive games at home - meaning they'd have to play all the qualifiers of their next qualifying campaign at home / at a neutral venue. The loss of revenue from the home games will force their FA to take the security issue a little more seriously next time round.

Maybe a points deduction (say maybe 2 points) could also be slapped on.

I'd say a ban of 2 years from any international competitions and even friendlies.
I'd also make the turkish soccer team serve a feast at the world cup for the other teams after every stage and be ready to give foot massages, do laundry, clean toilets for the players at the wc.

I don't think the Turkish players will want to take your job away from you.

[tomas_brolin]

can someone tell me why did cameroon get 6 points taken away at the start of the wc qualifying??

but i think they should do what they did to inter... 5 games behind closed doors, hefty fine and the remaining home games for euro qualifiers.. a certain amount of the stands can have fans in.

I think that it was because they wore those one piece uniforms at the African Nations cup in Tunisia.

If they wanted my job they'd have to make me get fired from this design agency

2006 FIFA World Cup™ - Turkey v. Switzerland play-off: First round of hearings completed


/noticias.info/ Zurich, 30 November 2005 - On Monday, 28 November and Tuesday, 29 November, FIFA conducted the first round of hearings in connection with the incidents that occurred before and after the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ play-off between Turkey and Switzerland on 16 November 2005. These hearings related to the main proceedings against the Turkish football association. A total of 22 people were questioned as witnesses or testifiers, in some cases more than once, about the incidents. In addition, the persons involved in individual cases were called as defendants. The results of the investigation will determine whether additional individual proceedings are brought against those concerned or whether further hearings and more evidence are necessary.

Due to the severity of the incidents in Istanbul, FIFA opened a disciplinary investigation to determine the exact nature and the perpetrators of the incidents, and to impose appropriate sanctions.

The proceedings were presided over by FIFA Disciplinary Committee acting chairman Sheik Salman Bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa (Bahrain) and the following people attended the hearings as witnesses or testifiers in proceedings against the Turkish football association:

FIFA:

Michal Listkiewicz (Poland, match commissioner), Alan Hutchings (England, security officer), Frank de Bleeckere (Belgium, referee)

Turkish football association:

Levent Bicakci (president), Lütfi Aribogan (general secretary), Davut Disli (association official), Fatih Terim (coach), Mehmet Özdilek (assistant coach), Emre Belozoglu (player), Alpay Özalan (player), Volkan Demirel (player)

Swiss football association:

Ralph Zloczower (president), Peter Gilliéron (general secretary), Ernst Lämmli (national team delegate), Jakob Kuhn (coach), Erich Burgener (goalkeeper coach), Dr Roland Grossen (team doctor), Stephan Meyer (physiotherapist), Johann Vogel (player), Raphael Wicky (player), Benjamin Huggel (player), Valon Behrami (player). Another player, Stephan Grichting, was unable to attend the hearings for medical reasons and submitted his statement in writing.

The purpose and objective of the hearings on 28-29 November as part of the main proceedings against the Turkish football association and as part of individual proceedings opened against Alpay Özalan, Emre Belozoglu and Mehmet Özdilek (all of Turkey) as well as against Benjamin Huggel and Stephan Meyer (both of Switzerland), who were all heard separately, was simply to determine exactly what happened in Istanbul. The hearings were not intended to evaluate the information gathered or to determine the extent of any sanctions to be imposed.

The hearings conducted as part of all proceedings will be evaluated over the coming days. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee will then decide as quickly as possible on the next procedural steps, which could include conducting further hearings, gathering more evidence or opening additional proceedings.

The FIFA Disciplinary Committee will be responsible for reaching decisions after considering all of the evidence gathered. Due to the comprehensive scope of this investigation, the FIFA Disciplinary Committee’s decisions are not expected until early 2006.

Appeals against Disciplinary Committee decisions may in certain circumstances be lodged with the FIFA Appeal Committee, before the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne can be called upon as the body of final instance in accordance with the FIFA Statutes.
