I don't know quite what makes our football organisations make stupid decisions on a regular basis, but the decision to move next week's Atletico Madrid against Liverpool match to a ground over 200 miles away beggars belief.
UEFA have quite rightly sanctioned Atletico for the racist behaviour of their fans. But by forcing them to play 200 miles from their Vincente Calderon home punishes innocent Liverpool supporters more than their own.
The match in Madrid is just eight days away. Yes, eight days. Talk about lack of notice for visiting fans. Liverpool, along with all British clubs, take plenty of fans to all their away matches. 3,000 Liverpool fans will have already booked flights and accommodation for the game.
Why do Liverpool fans deserve such treatment? What have they done wrong?
It's time for UEFA (along with our own FA and FIFA) to start making sensible, thought out decisions, considering all the consequences. Rather than just making knee-jerk reactions. Or is that too much to ask?
