FURIOUS FA chiefs are threatening to boycott matches in Serbia following the England Under-21s’ night of terror in Krusevac.
Stuart Pearce’s Young Lions feared for their lives as they were pelted with rocks by racist thugs and attacked by Serbian players and coaches on the pitch.
Incredibly, UEFA’s official match report makes no mention of the shameful scenes after England’s 1-0 Euro 2013 play-off triumph, saying only: “Players took to the pitch at the end of the game.”
Even more shockingly, UEFA clowns last night CHARGED the FA as well as the Serbs for improper conduct of their players.
But Serbia claimed England defender Danny Rose — the victim of vile racist abuse throughout the game — was to blame for Tuesday’s sickening brawl.
FA general secretary Alex Horne stormed: “No football team should be asked to play in any environment where racial abuse, violence and threatening behaviour is prevalent.
“We must question the validity of sending a team to Serbia in the future.
“We call on UEFA to take the strongest possible action against the Serbian FA, their supporters and anyone found guilty of being involved in the numerous instances of violence and abuse.”
FA officials complained to UEFA delegates during the match about the racist chants aimed at their black youngsters.
Yet, despite the abuse being clearly heard on TV, the Serbian FA insist it did not take place.
Their laughable statement read: “The FA of Serbia absolutely denies there were any occurrences of racism before and during the match in Krusevac.
“Making connection between the fight and racism has absolutely no ground and we consider it to be a total malevolence.
“Unfortunately, after the victory goal by the guest team, unpleasant scenes were seen on the pitch.
“And while most of the English players celebrated the score, Danny Rose behaved in an inappropriate, unsportsmanlike and vulgar manner towards the supporters and for that he was shown a red card.”
Serbia Under-21s coach Aleksandar Jankovic also insists they have nothing to say sorry for.
He said: “Apologise for what? It takes two to have a fight. You should be happy England qualified.”
But Rose declared: “I was slapped twice. That’s when I kicked the ball — and the ref sent me off.
“As I went off again there was monkey chanting, but that started long before. These fans have to be banned.
“Two stones hit me on the head and every time I touched the ball there was monkey chanting.”
