Scandal: UEFA Fines Dinamo Zagreb 20,000 for Waving Macedonian FlagMonday, 21 March 2011 UEFA's Disciplinary Committee had fined FK Dinamo Zagreb 20,000 Euros because Zagreb fans had waved the Macedonian flag! The Croatian public are stunned by this bizarre punishment and can not believe the European footballing body would be this unprofessional and racist. Dinamo Zagreb fans waved the Macedonian flag in their UEFA match against Greek based club PAOK of Solun. To avoid looking racist UEFA's Disciplinary committee announced it was fining Dinamo Zagreb for the handful of firecrackers as well, so the flag 'incident' isn't solely the reason. "This is a torture, we are tormented by UEFA. Just look at what we are being punished for? Because fans waved the Macedonian flag and supposedly firecrackers?" says visibly upset president of FK Dinamo Zagreb, Zdravko Mamic. Dinamo's fans were also stunned. The club's website is inundated from messages by thousands of fans even from their arch rival FK Hajduk who wonder "Since when do you get fined and punished for waving a Macedonian flag? and "When did an official flag of a country become illegal?" UEFA's Media Center has avoided phone calls from Macedonian and Croatian Journalists all day today. macedoniaonline.eu/content/view/17809/50/

The punishment does not fit the crime.

Seems like the only flags allowed to be present at a match from now on are of the one who are playing.

Most propably that means that only Macedonian team have the right to wave Macedonian flags and symbols. If Paok fans from Thessaloniki have waved it there would be no problem.

We should fine everyone who waves an American flag in the Balkans, for instigation.

Croatia and Macedonia are both real dude. The only issue is the distorted history that the Macedonian government chooses to teach to its citizens.
