Lovely to see a positive side to International games and good to see Giroud getting booed off (surely u mean scoring) for France ,wheres baba when u need him !

You see - banning Baba also means that everyone's missed the chance to give him plenty of stick when something like this happens

Not that he would have acknowledged that you had even posted

Since Baba's ban Giroud can't stop scoring; I prefer it stays that way.

Whist having to confess to not actually watching the game, I did switch in to see Giles, Brady and Dunphy going at it afterwards. You can say what you like about them, but at least you get a good open debate/argument, the like of which you would never get from the pc pundits on British television.

True, but Dunphy is an attention seeking arsehole with (ALLEGEDLY) a taste for Bouncer cock.

I still remember Souness the first time he was on with them. He just sat there with his mouth wide open in shock at the stuff they were saying.

I see it was the traditional bigoted welcome for our young players out in Serbia last night. Honestly, when are UEFA and FIFA finally going to get round to expelling this lot from tournament football. Monkey noises and pelting Rose with stones in 2012 FFS.

I bet there'll be a £30k fine and possibly one game played behind closed doors maximum

Sort it out you fucking clowns

It was truly shocking. Such overt racism in this day and age. These racist mongs should be fucking banned for 5 years until they learn not to be subhuman mong bastards.

I agree. I mean, I know eastern europe is considered a bit behind the times but to be playing that 1980's Manc shite music is unforgivable!!

(On a serious note, you are of course 100% right steveO. Alas, the football authorities have proven themselves to be gutless time and again when it comes to this issue.)

But do you really think they'll be banned for any length of time. It will be a little fine for the Serbian FA, and the same fuckwits that were there dishing out the abuse yesterday will be free to do the same thing time and time again. UEFA are a bunch of clowns - honestly, more interested in blocking technology in football, issuing petty touchline bans for minor offences to the likes of Wenger etc, than actually growing a pair and banning *word censored* like Serbia.

I agree with you a 5 year ban is what's needed - that would basically kick them out of the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and the 2016 Euros. Fuck 'em - they've been doing this stuff for years and lessons have not been learned - if anything its getting worse, so kick 'em out

It seems it was all Danny Rose' fault (according to the Serbian FA)

Public statement of the FA of Serbia
Official statement of our organisation on the matter of the incidents seen on the last night's match of the U21 teams of Serbia and England

In view of the incidents seen on the last night's second-leg match between U21 teams of Serbia and England (0:1) and within play-offs for the 2013 European U-21 Championship in Israel, Football Association of Serbia issues the following

PUBLIC STATEMENT

From the very moment of arrival of the England U-21 team in Serbia, the FA of Serbia and all relevant officials and authorities made their best efforts in order to organise their stay in the best possible way and preparation of extremely important match. With regards to that, we emphasise that organisation of all events related to the match went by in the best possible way and there had been absolutely not one problem until the last minute of the match.

During each and every minute of the match, until the mentioned last one, sports atmosphere full of respecting fair-play spirit was at the pitch and the stands, from warming up of both of the teams, through national anthems and applauses of all the present when the English anthem finished.

Unfortunately, after the fourth minute of the additional time and the victory goal scored by the guest team, unpleasant scenes were seen at the pitch. And while most of the English team players celebrated the score, their player number 3, Danny Rose, behaved in inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner towards the supporters on the stands at the stadium in Kruševac, and for that he was shown a red card. Unfortunately, it would turn out that was the moment the incident, that later developed, had started.

Ugly scenes were seen. Football Association of Serbia apologizes to the guests from England and the overall football community because of the unsportsmanlike behaviour of a part of the technical staff and players of the Serbian U-21 team. By this we inform the overall public that we will, as a matter of urgency, start an internal disciplinary procedure and punish the culprits after reviewing all the reports. It will be done whether a possibly disciplinary procedure by the responsible UEFA bodies will be started or not. Furthermore, we will not either accept the fact that our players and members of the technical staff were provoked by the gesture of the English player Rose, since violence has no place at sports events. To be honest, we expect the same investigation from the English FA.

FA of Serbia absolutely refuses and denies that there were any occurrences of racism before and during the match at the stadium in Kruševac. Making connection between the seen incident - a fight between members of the two teams - and racism has absolutely no ground and we consider it to be a total malevolence.

In support of our statement, there are preliminary reports of the match officials at the match Serbia-England. None of them in any moment did mention racist situation and we expect that human and sports culture of our football friends from England will win over misinformation spread.

FA of Serbia congratulates the English U-21 team on both play-off victories and we wish them competition success in the European Championship in Israel.

Jaysus, RG - your Serb translation skills aren't great, mate.

Such a disgrace not only when sub-human scum behave like this but then national FAs come out and refuse to acknowledge it takes place even in the face of clear evidence. The Bulgarians did it when England played there, and Ukrainian and Polish officials even refused to acknowledge the clear racist behaviour from thousands of fans in the Panorama programme before the Euros. Apparently they weren't Hitler saluting, they were 'pointing at the away fans'. And chanting Sieg Hiel in unison.

How on Earth can FIFA and UEFA pretend to stand against racism in a ZERO-TOLERANCE fashion (or to any serious extent)? Ignoring domestic leagues where the chants and actions happen every week in some countries, there are national teams whose fans repeatedly subject any dark-skinned player to vile abuse. Yet it takes the FA (or the equivalent) to launch a formal complaint for UEFA to begrudgingly 'act' by slapping the national FA with a token fine of about £30,000 whilst they refuse to believe that they have a problem or that any racist behaviour whatsoever has actually occurred. If you look at the level of fines handed out to Bendtner for showing his waistband and national FAs for widespread racist abuse, or contrast the punishments handed out to City for coming out to the second half late and Porto for racist abuse (only after City rightly kicked up a fuss), it tells you everything you need to know about how spineless UEFA are. In this day and age it's a joke for individuals/national FAs to have to really kick up a fuss and complain just for UEFA to slap the country on the wrist.

If you don't take any steps to punish and eradicate racist behaviour amongst your own fans, you shouldn't be allowed to have a national football team, simple as. Exponge Serbia's results from the World Cup qualifiers and make them play their Euro 2016 qualifiers behind closed doors, possibly in a completely neutral country to take away any sense of home advantage.

Come on England beat the sh*t out of these foreigners

[Vinny1967]

Hate to say it but have been impressed with Cleverley.
Looks more accomplished on the ball and has a great fist touch.

[MegaGooner]

I wonder what chav Terry has to say about these Serbian *word censored*

On a serious note though, I hope those spineless *word censored* at UEFA grow a back-bone and sort this shit out. It was embarrassing the way the Serbian supporters, players and officials acted and there is no room for this type of shyte in sport.
