Welcome into latest edition of ESPNFC. I'm Dan Thomas, joined the studio by Shaka

Hisslop. There's only one place to start today. And that is the breaking news. When

the last hour we have learned some significant news regarding what we saw this weekend, the

racist abuse that Vince Jr. suffered in Valencia. The Spanish committee have decided that

his red card has been rescinded. Remember he was sent off after the scuffle laid on. That

has been cancelled. More significantly, Valencia have been sank to the partial stadium closure

for five games. Now that's added to the news we learned earlier today, but three people

detained and released related to racist abuse that happened at the weekend. And remember

going back to January and that effigy that was hung, aired about Letty against Real

Madrid. Well today, four people have been arrested related to that incident. Right, for

more on this Pablo Zappeleta is with us, but Sid, I want to start with you. Have we ever

seen anything like this before in La Liga? No. And of course, one of the things that's

happened over the last two or three years and has actually been repeated over the last

couple of days is this idea that there isn't the power to take severe action. No powers

have been changed. And yet here is, here is the action that we've been told before couldn't

be taken. The action to move against Valencia to close that stand for five days, for five

games rather, albeit there will be an appeals process that can be opened and to make the fine

of 45,000 euros against Valencia. Now that was done by the competition committee who have

the jurisdiction for these kind of decisions. A competition committee is essentially made

up of three men, one from the Federation, one from the League, and one from the Concejo

Srupa de la Reportis, which is essentially the equivalent of the Spanish sports ministry.

And that move has been made today and that to answer your question very directly is unprecedented.
