    Swiss village tells UEFA to fuck off

    The village of Unterseen (next to Interlaken) have decided to quite simply give the fingers to UEFA and do as they bloody please: install a giant screen and allow people to sell whatever they want and choose its own sponsors to cover the cost for the free event. In full breach of UEFA attempt to impose its regulations on a sovereign country.

    They are not alone, the Swiss audiovisual copyright office, Suisa has also published its tariff to show games in public and has put a pithy comment on their website that authorisation to set up a giant screen and licensing is strictly down to them.

    UEFA is rather pissed off at this and insist they deliver the license to show Euro 2008 games. The license is free for non commercial events but there are very restrictive conditions in term of selling non-official sponsor products.

    UEFA, as it stands, does not have much of a leg to stand on and legal experts say they are in no position to sue public events organisers who do not meet their conditions.

    Ham, brilliant. Sounds like an Ealing movie that has jumped into a time machine and landed up in Switzerland, 2008AD.

        What fans don't yet know - you won't be able to hear the game for cow bells, and the police will come round and shut the game off at half-time because the old bag who lives down the road has been going to bed every night at 8 for the past 70 years, and she's not about to let the European championships change that any time soon.

          Uster sprecht nein, as they say in the lakeside suburbs of Zurich.

            IMP is barely over the top with his tirade, right now the various police forces are coming up with all sorts of limitations in term of street parties, honking after a win and general noisy demeanour in order to placate the people who have no interest in football and don't really fancy having to put up with constant late night noise.

            Hardly any of that will be observed during the Euro though, the police will say they are too busy with security to follow up complaints about noise...
