That's pretty much conclusive.

£10k fine on the way for Serbia.

dont you just love the bored looking cop doing jack ****e!!! he should have been wading in and arrestting people not standing there picking his ####!!

[Factamondo]

not saying all serbs are racist as good n bad in every race but they seem to be continually tarred with this disease......even at facto jnrs football team the son of a serbian was let go for continually insulting his own black team mates....a backwards country with backwards beliefs and morals!

[terraloon]

Absolutely no doubt about the behaviour of the Serbs the fans were racist chanting and the players,....don't know if they were racist but def sore losers..........but my question have the FA got any right to criticise when
they gave the England captain a 4 game ban and have left the door open for him to play for his country again.

Yes I think the FA do have grounds to make a complaint.
Had they not pursued the Terry case through their own discipline process then you would have a point but they did. As for a 4 game sanction then point the finger at the commission.
Irrespective the Terry incident was down to one man, one word but what happened last night was in a different league both in terms of number of incidents, the number of people abusing and it seems the some who are in a position of authourity with Serbian FA

Its not just their Football fans, its the whole area and has always been like it. Went to Leskovac in the late 80's with a group of lads (two of which were black) and lets just say we were not made to feel welcome :-). Feared for our lives a couple of times and ended up going to Sofia across the border just to get out of the country where we felt much more secure. Serbia is country full of Bond villians :-) . Just watched the footage for the first time and it is shocking...well done Danny Rose for leaving the pitch without aggravating the crowd more. Dog of a country and i hope FIFA/UEFA throw the book at them and ban them from all comps...although we know that wont really happen.

gotta agree with you.......i keep reiterating not all serbs bad but majority(including women) are racist and thuggish!

Serbian FA just denied racism from their fans, and instead have decided to blame Danny Rose for behaving in an inappropriate and vulgar manner!

Or as it's known in legal circles, the Terry defence.

Yep, blame the victim. Next step wheel out token black man.

1) Perhaps the FA have no right to criticise but what about everyone else?
2) Was JT monkey-chanting and being overtly/unambiguously racist?

I'm not saying we don't have the right to criticise mate, Serbia have got history for this sort of thing so why they are still competing in FIFA comps is a mystery to me, because as sure as eggs is eggs, if this was England we would have received a ban long ago.I wonder whether there is government interventions on this, that say we mustn't exclude them and be patient as they had this racially cleansing war and don't understand it's wrong, and maybe excluding them will make them go even more insular and kick it all off again, dunno just guessing cause they should be banned.
On your JT point if me or you used the words FBC whether we were upset, stressed, or angry we would have been done for it proper and if it was deemed to cause enough offence could have jailed. I just think our FA ain't covered themselves in glory,....they should complain... but...imo have no room to play the self-righteous card so to speak

[bonheurjh]

sad.... very sad.
They play poorly and thats the whole reason why they are playing dirty.

Unbelievable, still in the dark ages it seems: http://www.london24.com/sport/serbia...buse_1_1659207

[Stanley]

What is equally alarming is the Serbian authorities' complete denial of it:

How very true pity the FA didnt take the strongest possible action themselves with our ex England captain who incidently has kept his profile in the media by still not yet accepting his punishment ! Would be 2 games done had he accepted it.....**** !

[QPRDave]

England are being charged as well as the Serbs!!!!!!!!

[Will M]

Provoking a hostile crowd is a really bad idea. It's not a surprise at all, consider the punishments we give in this country for players who may incite supporters.

Serbia will still come off worse, but it's not exactly an injustice the FA have to answer a charge.
