Russia have been given a suspended six-point deduction by Uefa after their supporters attacked stadium stewards following their opening Euro 2012 4-1 win against Czech Republic.

Four members of stadium staff are reported to have needed hospital treatment following the incident.

Supporters also set off fireworks and displayed a nationalist flag.

The penalty will apply to the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign, and also includes a fine of ?96,000 (120,000 euros).

Russia, who will host the 2018 World Cup, could face further sanctions after their supporters were involved in violence before their game against Poland on Tuesday.

A march by thousands of Russian fans to mark their national day had to be halted and some missiles were thrown as supporters clashed with their Polish rivals.

Police say they arrested at least 120 people and that 10 people were injured.

Inside the ground, Russian fans also displayed a provocative banner.

In my opinion, where sport is concerned suspended punishments are a great way to convince people that you're doing something without actually doing anything at all. I hope it serves it's intended purpose though as violent fans shouldn't be allowed to pose a danger to the vast majority of decent fans, staff members, and players.

It was the polish fans that attacked russian fans, not the other way round. There are plenty of videos on the internet proving this. As for missiles it is the duty of the stadium to make sure that missiles aren't brought into the stadium.

I think this punishment is just politically motivated against russia. Poland need to be punished for attacking russian fans outside the stadium!

Nobody's being punished for fighting against other fans. The Russians are being punished for attacking stadium stewards.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
