German Soccer Boss Sees UEFA Protesters Point

If this happened in your own barn before a high-profile soccer match, you'd be bent out of shape, wouldn't you...???


Wouldn't you...???

Well, FC Schalke GM Horst Heldt was quoted by the Bild newspaper as saying: "It is important that there are organisations that are committed to things that concern all people. I can identify with it, these are topics that are important to everyone."

UEFA confirmed that disciplinary action might be taken against the home team, Basel, over the protest but only after the match delegate's report had been submitted.

Whatever that means... and, what else can be said about the whole thing, anyway...???

The protesters shimmied down from the roof, got their banner unfurled, delayed the game, and got their point across. It was a massive security breach and UEFA and their suits can't be happy about it one bit...

It was a dangerous thing to have happen, and Basel will end up paying the piper somehow... especially since the protest was against one of the Champions League mega-sponsors...
