Sunderland loanee Danny Rose has called on Serbia to be banned by UEFA following the disgraceful scenes on Tuesday night.
Rose, on loan at the club from Spurs, was subjected to a torrent of abuse from the stands on Tuesday and then sent off after the final whistle for kicking the ball away.
Despite clearly being the wronged party, UEFA in their wisdom, have charged both England and Serbia with offences - England for improper conduct of their players and Serbia for "alleged racist chanting" by fans. The case will be dealt with on November 22.
Rose claimed he was subject to abuse throughout the match, he said: "They have to be banned. I don't understand how else they can learn from it, they have to be banned.
"They started the monkey chanting straight away. I asked the lads if they could hear it and they said they could hear it.
"In the second half I had two stones hit me on the head when I went to get the ball for a throw-in. Every time I touched the ball there was monkey chanting again."
Meanwhile, Rose is now looking forward to getting back to club action and the massive Tyne-Wear derby this Sunday, telling the Sunderland Echo: "I can't wait for the Newcastle game to see what that's like."
