PFA chairman Clarke Carlisle calls for Serbia ban after 'disgusting' Danny Rose 'racial abuse'

PFA chairman Clarke Carlisle says that he is 'concerned' by the level of racial discrimination displayed by Serbia's fans following their Under-21 European Championship qualifying defeat to England.

Professional Football Association chairman Clarke Carlisle has urged UEFA to issue the Serbian Under-21s side with a ban following an alleged incident of racial abuse from the club's supporters.

England Under-21 full-back Danny Rose stormed off the field at the full-time whistle of his side's 1-0 win over Serbia last night and indicated that he had been racially abused by the opposing team's fans by making a monkey gesture to the crowd before reaching the tunnel.

When asked by BBC News how he felt watching those scenes, Carlisle said: "Shock, disgust and concern. I was sat there with Paul Ince whose son was playing.

"When an organisation is supposed to have a zero tolerance towards racial abuse, there was no protection. This is not the first time an offence has been committed in Serbia. It has to be a ban."

The English national side reported the incident to UEFA.
