[Football] UEFA and Montenegro

UEFA announce that Montenegro have to play one game behind closed doors for racist behaviour towards England players, and pay a €20,000 fine for letting off fireworks, and blocked stairways.
In 2012, Nicklas Bentner was fined €80,000 and banned for one international game, for advertising Paddy Power on his underwear.

They really do appear to be serious about stamping out racism in our game now.

When are they going to start docking points, or throwing teams/ countries out of competitions when their supporters and in some cases , their players, display their bigotry.

Playing behind closed doors also penalises the next opponent who cannot have their fans there but have done nothing wrong. I would have thought it better to ban home fans, allow away fans in, the away team gets the gate receipts yet the home team have to pay the costs of opening up the stadium. This should obviously be in addition to the other actions that should be levied, sensible fines (in the millions), bans from competitions etc.
