not sure if anybody saw the Jason Brown and Jason Roberts interviews on Sky today. Saying the PFA is hypocritical about this as their is a bit happening in England as well. Brown even suggested that a breakaway union for black players could be established

In a slightly bizarre move by the Serbian FA...

Danny Rose's racism claims questioned in video posted by Serbian Football Association after England U21 game

The FA of Serbia has attempted to question Danny Rose's claims of racial abuse by posting a video on YouTube of England's U21 game in Krusevac.

The six-minute video, titled "Danny Rose is lying to whom?" is edited to show only Rose's touches of the ball in the play-off for the Under 21 European Championship on Tuesday. It was posted through the Serbian FA's official YouTube channel less than 24 hours after the organisation denied Rose's claims of racism. The description of the video contends that Rose's quotes from after the game do not tally with what took place during it. The description reads: "Danny Rose said: 'Every time I touched the ball, they were doing the monkey chanting again."

"As you can see in this video, during the UEFA under-21 play-off game, there was no unsportsmanlike cheering and insulting opposing players on racial grounds."

The video ends at 76 minutes, ignoring the end to the game in which Rose was sent off for kicking a ball into the stands in apparent frustration. The Serbian contention that Rose was not subject to abuse also contradicts other videos which feature clearly audible monkey noises from the stands:

Common decency would dictate that any punishment on Serbia is now multiplied because of their delusional attempts to continue denying it happened. If they held their hands up and showed contrition (like Milosevic did) then that'd be one thing. But to be obstinate in the way they have ... well that needs a proper lesson that hurts like a bitch.
