So your saying Black players should just get on with it?

And your essentially saying it's ok to be raceist?

No, but banning serbia from international football is't going to stamp out racism in football, it'll just hide the problem for a while.

what should happen then?

If the serbian authorities aren't doing anything...........

Yeah its a shame that monkey chants overshadow the headbutts.

Like I said before, just leave it. The world can see how idiotic everyone behaved and no ban or fine will change it or stop it from happening again i'm afraid.

Physical violence is totally alright then?

Based on the argument for racism I suppose the answer must be that punishing people for violent behaviour is a waste of time because violent behaviour will still exist.

Which is some sort of progress. It's not going to go away overnight, but steps have to be set out and rules in place, far more threatening than a small fine to an FA who can pay it with loose change.

I dont know. Its not just the serbians though is it. At the end of the day its all about stereotyping to make someone else feel weak or inferior and football fans are the worst for doing it. Different sport but look at Lewis Hamilton getting racially abused by the spanish F1 fans, the reason for this was to try to make him perform badly because he was beating their hero Alonso.

So if the police caught one gang rapist they wouldn't bother punishing him because it wasn't just him?

Punishing Serbia would send a message to anyone else.

Welcome to the middle ages.

As this was a UEFA tournament I would assume it's UEFAs responsibility to give sanction to Serbia.

Sadly their sole priority is money, so you wont see much of a punishment.

Just wait until the World Cup in multicultural Russia!!

UEFA fines: £45,000 Spain 2004 (racism), £16,500 Serbia 2007 (racism), £10,000 Croatia 2008 (racism). £80,000 Bendtner (exposing pants with a sponsor on).

Except Germany, France and Spain.

Then why are you going on about Gareth Bale and MOBO's then? :rolleyes:

No one is saying it will "stamp it out" however it will contribute to solving the problem

Not true. A banning order forces a country's authorities (not just FA but government to) to confront the problem, as the majority of people are upset at the ban and perception of their country as racist. Those football fans missing out on their country competing are upset. Equally, non-football fans are embarrassed and want it sorted.

Think England tackling the hooligan problem. Did the ban from European competition in the 80s help the FA, the government and non-hooligan football fans to reduce hooliganism? I would argue it did.

Music of black origin. Try having an award called Music of white origin and see what the uproar would be like.

Maybe if white people were discriminated against for centuries there would be a MOWO's.

And that is the crux of the problem with racism. Gareth Bale gets chanted at all the time about looking like a chimp, what does he do, shrugs his shoulders and gets on with it even though he looks like a chimp. If you were a black person and stood in the street and yelled "I'm black and i'm proud" people would look at you and think well done you're making a statement of who you are. If you were a white person and did the same people would call you a racist cvnt. Same as the Mobo awards. If their was an award for white music it would be deemed as racist. This is where its all wrong.

This basically sums up why no punishment is worth the time. Its not just Serbia. People all round the world just dont understand racism anymore.

Same as the Mobo awards?

****ing idiot.

Not alright but definitely not a big deal. Men fight. Sometimes its on the pitch. If popular opinion is to be believed, rugby is full of stand up gentlemen who can sit on the ritcheous pedastal looking down on football and they are always scrapping on the pitch.

Hold on. You can't call someone a ****ing idiot for misunderstanding racism and then at the same time suggest we do nothing about it. Surely you must be able to see the implicit stupidity in that approach.

****ing idiot was purely for the Mobo comment. What i'm saying is that trying to get rid of racism through football is not going to work. Its not because of football these guys make monkey chants. Unless you ban them for life, it wont make a damn bit if difference so there is no point.

Its society's problem not footballs exclusively.

"Serbian FA deny any forms of racism against England Under 21s"

"Serbian FA also accuse Danny Rose of behaving in an "inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner" towards their fans"

From the SSN Twitter.

Disgusting.

But an adequate punishment may help a country as a whole address a problem.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

How can they even stand to defend what just happened? Let alone criticise someone else? Even when there is plenty of video and audio evidence that suggests the contrary. Disgusting indeed.
