Lulic-Rudiger race row is another reminder of Italian football's incompetence and ignorance

COMMENT

Italy can be as frustrating as it is enlightening. There is so much bureaucracy, its judicial system so convoluted, that the pursuit of justice is an always lengthy and often futile process. Nothing gets done quickly here. Sometimes, nothing gets done at all. The faint hope is that the case of Senad Lulic versus Anthony Rudiger will be different.

However, it is already disheartening that while the situation concerning Kevin Strootman and the touchline brawl he sparked in last weekend's Rome derby has already been dealt with, Lulic is still awating judgement over the race row he sparked after the same game.
