ban by UEFA; UEFA has also ordered Serbia to play their next competitive
under-21 match behind closed doors, two of their coaches are suspended for two
years and Serbia’s governing body have also been fined £65,900. In addition, four
Serbian players have been banned, Goran Caušic suspended for four UEFA national
team competition matches, Ognjen Mudrinski suspended for three UEFA national
team competition matches, Filip Malbašic suspended for three UEFA national team
competition matche and Nikola Ninkovic suspended for two UEFA national team competition
matches
The
incident occurred in Krusevac on 16 October after the final whistle as the
Young Lions beat the Serbian U21 side 1-0 in a Euro qualifier to progress 2-0
on aggregate. Danny Rose was shown a second yellow and consequent red card
after he kicked the ball into the crowd at the final whistle indicating he had
been racially abused and this sparked a mass brawl that involved most players
as well as officials. Following the fixture, the FA reported a number of incidents of
racism to UEFA. These were seemingly aimed at a number of England black players
by the crowd. England assistant coach Steve Wigley was manhandled by opposition
players and staff after the game.
The
FA has since voiced their view over on the decision by UEFA: FA general secretary
Alex Horne said: 'We are disappointed with the sanctions levied by UEFA with
regards to the racist behaviour displayed towards England's players. ‘Racism is
unacceptable in any form, and should play no part in football. The scenes were
deplorable and we do not believe the sanction sends a strong enough message.'
He also stated, "We shall await UEFA’s reasoning but it is our intention,
at this stage, to support our players and appeal these decisions.
