Serbia under 21's manager Aleksandar Jankovic has accused the England players of overreaction and has said "I did not see racism". Okay managers protect their teams and fans from media scrutiny when fair and necessary and on this occasion it was neither. What Jankovic has done is lie! Jankovic has also accused the England squad of "using racism because it is such a sensitive issue". Yes it is a sensetive issue which is why England would not lie about it in the first place because they know that if the FA found out they were lying they would be in serious trouble and considering the amount of negative media John Terry has been getting, I doubt England want any more.
The England squad have called for Serbia to be banned from International competition and I think that they should be too. Lets be honest, this isn't the first time Serbia and England have clashed on the pitch and whenever they do clash or fight like they did during the game, it just ruins the atmosphere completely for everyone in the stadium (unless you were joining in like the Serbian fans did!) and for people watching at home.
Aleksandar also said "I did not see racism in Krusevac, and I was there on the field from the first minute (of the match) to the last second of the brawl."
UEFA have called for disciplinary charges against England too because of their reaction to the racist chants from the crowd and players but I don't think that this is very fair because anyone would react that way if they got "monkey" chanted at them wherever they were football players or dustman. I know some of the players should have shown more restraint but obviously it was hard to do that during the fighting and chanting.
Lets all hope that the FA do the right thing by sacking Jankovic and banning Serbia from International competition, this way the game of football will be more enjoyable and hassle free for everyone!
