Euro 2012 Qualification: Italy vs Serbia follow-up

The decision has been made. Italy get a default 3-0 win against Serbia. There were also various fines and punishments against the teams. To summarize:

Italy - Win the game 3-0. They also receive a fine of 100,000 Euros for not keeping the Serbian fans from bringing dangerous items into the stadium. They have a deferred ban on playing one match behind closed doors, which means they have to behave for the next two years or it will come into effect.

Serbia - As well as losing, they receive a 120,000 Euro fine. Their next game, against Northern Ireland, will definitely be played behind closed doors, and the one after that against Estonia probably will. They also have a ban against bringing fans to their remaining away games in the Euro 2012 qualifiers. Finally, they have a deferred one-match ban for the next two years.

Both the Italian and Serbian football associations have three days to lodge an appeal (not six days, as the BBC claim)
