If this had been the other way round, Platini would have already held a press conference announcing the length of our ban.
Except that it never happened when it was the other way round...we got a £68,000 fine http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2003/dec/18/2 |

And a final warning... Serbia have played behind closed doors already, but I think this was violance related rather than racism related? Oh, and at the time that fine was the largest imposed for racist behaviour from fans. They just don't care about the issue. |

Re. everyones favourite racist centre back, John Terry's fine will probably eclipse what the Serbian FA are forced to pay

Nice picture on the back of the guardian of the goalkeeping coach getting headbutted.

Whilst the events of last night were inexcusable I do wish some England fans would drop the victim mentality.
Sorry just wanted to clarify, by victim mentality I mean the whole 'if this had been the other way round' rubbish that gets roll out every time something like this happens in Europe.
England were dealt with harshly in the 80's after 39 people were killed by mindless thuggery, not because their fans were racist bastards.
I do wish some people would check their facts and stop talking rubbish. The England fans were still poorly treated by FIFA and UEFA well in to the 2000's with constant threats that if they so much as dropped a crisp packet they'd kick us out of tournaments. There was a continual stream of pre-emptive strikes which had no basis whatsoever. |

The other way round? Maybe I'm going blind but I couldn't see any reference in that report to England fans launching a stream of missiles on to the pitch at the players nor a large number of the England players and staff launching physical attacks on the opposition. The other difference is that was ten years ago, a somewhat isolated incident and the FA responded immediately and strongly to take charge of the situation and to prevent re-occurences. That was also a big fine compared to others. Would it have been the same if it was another country? |

BREAKING NEWS
The Serbian FA denies any forms of racism towards the England Under-21 team last night and says defender Danny Rose behaved in an "inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner" towards their fans.
Unbelievable.

That sounds like a major rearguard action bordering on panic to me... |

England have always had some fanS who are cunts!
A bit like the mob this year who decided to get revenge on Italy putting England out Euro 2012 by smashing up some Italian restuarants .... Childish pricks!
Also think they went on the rampage in Marseille during WC 1998?

Think you linked to the wrong article, that's about Arsenal fans at an Arsenal game and nothing to do with England fans as you claim. |
