Napoli fined over laser
Napoli have been fined 15,000 euros ($22,110) after their supporters shone a laser in the eyes of AC Milan goalkeeper Dida during Wednesday's 2-2 Serie A draw, the Italian league said in a statement.
Genoa have also been fined 30,000 euros after fans threw a coin at an assistant referee and spat at him during the 2-1 win over Fiorentina.
The league also said AS Roma midfielder Rodrigo Taddei had been given a two-match ban for his dismissal for swearing at the referee in the 2-1 defeat at Udinese. Claudio Ranieri's side will also be without Daniele De Rossi and Marco Cassetti for Sunday's game with Bologna after yellow cards triggered bans.

Other European countries still have a lot of hooliganism in football, take West Ham Vs Millwall for instance! the only reason that it doesnt happen regularly is because the stadiums are packed with police and stewards

And they have the guts to try to rubbish Don Fabio's wise comments on the behaviour at italian stadiums...spit, laser pointers, coins, swearing...come on you Italians roll up your sleeves and for once heed to wise counsel so that stadiums there will turn into family friendly venues like in other European countries.

If shining a laser in Dida's eyes results in great performances like we saw yesterday (goals were both very hard to stop, we have to be fair on him), AC Milan fans should start doing this themselves. 'Didastro' really produced some miraculous saves yday!
