World Cup Qualifying

Nice touch from the England squad going to refund the fans

 

I asked you about racism fines.

1. Italy: Ivan Bogdanov (leader of our "fans" that night is in prison), there was no racism that night.

2. Have you watched that game in Holland? Do you remember Matt Derbyshire? From wikipedia: "During the group stage of the 2007 European Under-21 Football Championship, he was the scorer of a controversial goal against the Serbian under-21 team. He did not kick the ball out when Serbian defender [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slobodan_Rajkovi%C4%87"]Slobodan Rajković - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame] was down injured and went on to score England's second goal of the game; in his defence, Derbyshire claimed he did not see the injured player (lol). Serbian players rebelled against Derbyshire, other English players defended him. Later you hear that English players are claiming racism from Serbs which is ridiculous.

3. Wales? Any link, because I haven't heard anything about that.
4. I said that he certainly provoked our fans. There was a small group of idiots, but it wasn't the whole stadium ffs! And if he didn't provoked, I belive that those idiots would remain silent.

 

Like they was before the game while the England players are warming up to monkey chants ?



Serbia v England, 2007 Under-21 European Championship

Serbian fans' monkey chanting of England's Nedum Onuoha was so obvious that the stadium announcer in Nijmegen appealed for them to stop. After Matt Derbyshire struck a late goal to make it 2-0 to England, Serbian players, who believed play should have been stopped due to an injury to Slobodan Rajkovic, reacted angrily and much aggressive jostling ensued. The acrimony continued after the final whistle, and it was alleged that England's Justin Hoyte was racially abused in the tunnel by opponents.
Punishment The Serbia FA was fined £16,000 for "the racist chanting of supporters and the improper conduct of their players". England were fined £2,000 for taking part in the brawl. After Serbia went on to reach the final, Uefa ordered the referee to stop the match if there was any repeat of racist chanting.

Serbia v Wales, and Serbia Under-21 v Wales Under-21, August 2003

Danny Gabbidon, Nathan Blake and Robert Earnshaw were abused during Wales's Euro 2004 qualifier against Serbia and Montenegro in Belgrade. "It was disappointing to hear what the lads had to contend with," Wales's then-manager Mark Hughes said. "Whether it was the whole stadium or just a minority is not the point. It's wrong in any form and just not acceptable." During the previous night's Under-21 contest between the same countries in Novi Sad, the Wales goalkeeper Jason Brown was targeted for similar abuse. "It's sad in this day and age, and it disappoints me that it can happen," Brown said afterwards. "I will have to consider whether I ask the FAW to complain on my behalf." The FAW did file a formal complaint.
Punishment The FA of Serbia & Montenegro was fined £11,000 for "the racist conduct of its supporters.

 

This England teams as bad a team as ive seen them have in a while.

Hart, Cole, Gerrard and Rooney are the 4 above good players. Even then 2 of them are past their peak.

The rest are all average Premier League class guys Lescott, Jagielka, Johnson, Cleverley, Milner, Carrick and Defoe. When you think they used to have Neville, Ferdinand, Terry, Lampard, Scholes, Owen and Shearer.

 

Great start from Poland here

 

Englands only creative player in this game is Rooney, I dont understand their tactics here.

If I was picking a team from their squad id go

Hart
Walker Jagielka Lescott Cole
Gerrard Cleverley
Lennon Chamberlain A.Johnson
Rooney


​

 

Hart

Walker Jagielka Lescott Cole

Gerrard Milner

Lennon Rooney Chamberlain

Hooper​

With Hooper and Rooney constantly changing positions and supporting each other. Would work a treat...

 

The Scouse double act, Gerrard corner, shouldered in by Rooney.

 

1nil goal out of nothing Gerrard corner Rooney header/ shoulder

 

Very very luck goal from Rooney.

 

Poland look like they can score on the counter here

 

This is the key sentence: "Whether it was the whole stadium or just a minority". It's always minority of hooligans. Every country on this planet have a bunch of hooligans, every! You can't put 99% of normal people in the same bracket with the 1% of idiots. These 1% should be punished and imprisoned, not the whole Serbian FA (although they're bunch of greedy *). And as I have said in one of the previous posts there is a BIG difference between UUUU (or UAAA chants in Serbian) and U-U-U-U chant(monkey chant). I belive that 90% of reported racism claims of black players is based on UUUU or UAAA chants (not connected with racism) made by Serbian fans. There is a big difference between Serbia and Russia. In Russia they make a "bomb" and throw it on the field (Zenit fans, Hulk), in Serbia we never had that type of racism.

 

Unbelievable. England are so jammy.

 

I think it was Englands only attempt, that I remember anyway. Poland have applied the most pressure but they havent looked like scoring really.

 

Poor game, England look poor and Poland (apart from Lewandowski and Piszczek) look like they`ve continued from where they left off at the Euro`s.

 

Poland missing Kuba

 

Nice dive Johnson

 

Harsh as * that

 

Don`t know what was worse, The dive by Johnson or Townsend after watching 2 replays still saying it was a penalty.

 

Sitter for Rooney
