Osećam da ću i zbog ovoga biti napadnut...

Uefa will probe U21 racist abuse

Uefa is set to investigate the racist abuse that marred England Under-21's win over Serbia.

Serbian fans taunted England's Nedum Onuoha during the first half and Justin Hoyte was later targeted in the tunnel by opposition players.

Uefa, who made an impromptu anti-racism announcement after the abuse, will wait until it receives the referee's report before deciding any action.

England's 2-0 win clinched a place in the European Championship semi-finals.

But the victory was overshadowed by the treatment of Onuoha.

England Under-21 coach Stuart Pearce backed the player to cope with the abuse.

"He's an outstanding young man, not just as a footballer," said Pearce, who coached Onuoha at Manchester City.

"I've got that first-hand knowledge of him and he comes from a great family. He's a credit to the English nation.

"He's such a strong character, that's the case with most of our players. I told them that is what is going to happen at international level.

"It's difficult to keep restraint under provocation. You've got to learn that in football."

Serbia coach Miroslav Djukic criticised his country's fans but also hit out at England for the way in which they won the game.

He stated: "Racism is definitely a bad thing. I did not see or hear what was happening as I was concentrating on the game.

"In my career I played against players from all nations and these things are bad but I also have never seen a player who is hurt and the opposition carry on to score a goal.

"It was unfair from England players, who are meant to be gentlemen. Tonight they were not gentlemen.

"Everything started from the second goal when they did not have respect for a player who was on the floor."

Pearce added: "Matt is one of the most genuine people I know.

"He probably would have kicked the ball out if he saw him (defender Slobodan Rajkovic)."

James Milner, who was named man of the match, said: "It was a job well done. We rallied and put in a good performance.

"Their player took the goal-kick after he had gone down. I don't know if it was cramp. I don't think the lads knew anything."

******

Uefa will wait until the match delegate hands in his report before taking any action on incidents in Nijmegen, by which time England will be preparing for Wednesday's semi-final against hosts Holland.

And despite showing nine changes, Serbia, who had already qualified for the last four, dominated for large parts of a game overshadowed by racist chants in the first half.

Uefa officials were forced to make an impromptu anti-racism announcement when England defender Nedum Onuoha was targeted by Serbia fans.

"We will not tolerate your racist chants," the announcer said just before the half-hour mark. "Please stop or leave the stadium."

Sve je knjizevnost, bar su mene na fakultetu tako ucili. Od svega moze da se napravi dobra ili losa prica. Ovo je losa.
Pisana u afektu i verovatno ce biti obrisana.

Nebitno, da se vratim na temu, koliko god da su bili provocirani od strane sudija i samih igraca, navijaci nisu smeli da dozvole sebi da vredjaju druge.
Zaboravljaju da i oni, kao i fudbaleri na terenu, predstavljaju svoju zemlju.

Vaspitanje, nedostaje vaspitanje...
zagubilo se u prostoru i vremenu.
Umesto toga imamo Pink paradu,
Grand paradu, dzipove, kajle ako se
tako zovu i sl. Pa onda lete i flase i
psovke, rasisticke i ostale uvrede.
