Both Serbia and FIFA reactions are so so predictable. Is anyone surprised, seriously? I'm not, we were saying exactly what has now happened would happen his morning in the office. British attitudes to fairness, tolerance, racism, respect etc are just not shared by other cultures. And dare I say in Eastern European countries they seem to be light years behind. As for FIFA, well footballs has longed dealt with both the sinner and sinned against by sending both off. Happens every Saturday all the time so not surprised by FIFA decision tonight. But we'd help ourselves more in terms of anger mgt by lashing out at the time; our players should have clocked a few back instead of restraining. It would help Rose etc come to terms more with the inevitable Fifa reaction tonight. At least they'd feel better! Now they just feel double wronged against and surely everyone knows by now not to trust any football governing authority to make a correct decision! All very laudable this turning the other cheek but it gets you absolutely no where in football so you might as well give as good as you get to save yourself further anguish later! What a joke Fifa and Uefa really are. Still a 50p fine for Serbia and a 5million for England will send their desired signal.
