FIFA and UEFA don't have the balls to make a stand against racism. Their lack of action is a disgrace.
 
diving Suarez is a cancer though and needs to be removed.
I daresay that Suarez is not the only person ever accused of diving. He gets no protection whatsoever. Refs need to be impartial and make the difficult decisions against big or so called small teams. They should protect players that need it but also give yellow cards for simulation.

Diving is one issue that should not be ignored but racism is an altogether different issue that should be stamped out by banning countries and teams involved.
 
Meh, you say that, but I'm fairly sure there's only 10 episodes & the repeat them. Over and over. And over. And over. And over.

Harrison likes it now too. Ah well, at least it's not the fucking teletubbies.

I didnt know that. I've only seen five of them.

Is there any talk of a new series?

The Serbian Football Association have denied that their fans were guilty of aiming racist abuse at the England Under-21 team, and condemnedDanny Rose's behaviour as "vulgar".
The win over Serbia was overshadowed by chaotic scenes at the end, with Danny Rose the target of racist abuse from the crowd and the home players kicking out at his team-mates and Steve Wigley, the assistant manager.
Rose was subsequently shown a red card for kicking the ball away, despite it happening after the final whistle. Rose later said he had been the target of racist abuse throughout, starting in the pre-match warm-up.
However, despite the video evidence, the Serbian FA statement, which they translated into English, denied that their fans had been racist, and said the confrontation was isolated to the final minute of the match.
"The FA of Serbia absolutely refuses [sic] and denies that there were any occurrences of racism before and during the match at the stadium in Krusevac.
"Making connection between the seen incident – a fight between members of the two teams – and racism has absolutely no ground and we consider it to be a total malevolence.
"Unfortunately, after the fourth minute of the additional time and the victory goal scored by the guest team, unpleasant scenes were seen on the pitch.
"And while most of the English team players celebrated the score, their player number three, Danny Rose, behaved in inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner towards the supporters on the stands at the stadium in Krusevac, and for that he was shown a red card".
 
Incredible. I was expecting them to do their best to lessen international punishment by stating that they were dealing with it through internal punishments. This should be the final nail in their coffin. If there is not a substantial ban now, maybe other countries need to boycott all UEFA/FIFA events.
 
Blatter, Platini and co just don't give a damn. They all need disciplining. But the Serbians are truly beyond belief now, they need a complete ban until they admit their responsibility and start to deal with this. Maybe it wasn't as outrageous as the 'battle of Santiago' but last night was still absolutely disgraceful.
 
No, it just beggars belief. He was right there. He's either stupid or corrupt. Or both.

To be fair to the ref, maybe he was scared? I wouldn't want to have pissed anyone off their last night, i'd have been scared of getting the shit kicked out of me.
