I probably should be a shame to say this, but Why in h3ll did we let go Huntelaar and bought Zlatan..
3-0 and a wonderful goal too.

Game suspended. I hope UEFA makes their voice heard and punishes those Serbian terrorists for good.

No, but he worked his way in Netherland and he could have done that with Milan as well.

Punish how? They can't ban Serbia from competition because then it's UEFA proving they have 1 rule for some, then another rule for others. A few Italian clubs have had games called off in Europe in recent years, with pathetic punishments like fines and behind closed doors matches.

Kurt, ffs, will you please stop with the martyr syndrome against UEFA? It's gotten very very old.

That's what you expect when a Balkan team plays a match. It's always on the edge. Totally disgracefull.

What I'm saying Kurt is that I'm very tired of your 'one rule for some, another rule for others' mantra about UEFA. They're not out to get England and trust me, Italy at least doesn't get special treatment.

Not fair to lump them all in with each other. Montenegro have been a bit cynical with their play, but the fans have behaved superbly.

it's literally a bunch of talentless thugs.

Jesus Christ, Ashley's gonna be dead before this game's done.

Yeah, it was definitely handball, still I felt like it was summer and I was back in June here, it's good to see we can play that bad in qualification as well.

Though I do pin some blame on Montenegro (as a football team) because some of their tackles were awful. I don't expect them to come and try and outplay us all guns blazing because that would be fairly optimistic for them. Though the way we were hacked down time and time again was unreal, there are other ways of defending.

Haha, now Italy has tu suffer because a bunch of barbaric terrorists. Unbelivable.

At least Zambro and Pirlo will have more rest time

Nah, I doubt Italy will be sanctioned in any way. It'd be just plain stupid. You didn't see the images Kurt, those ultra were simply animals. Flares or non-flares, it wouldn't have made a single difference. Besides, FIGC officials clam the Serb police gave no indication such dangerous fans were coming to Genoa.

Haha, now Italy has tu suffer because a bunch of barbaric terrorists. Unbelivable.

Maybe not images, but I've seen videos.

Allowing flares, cutters, whatever, into a stadium is not good enough. The game would have gone ahead in security did their job. How can they throw stuff onto the field of play if there's nothing to throw?

I personally wouldn't punish Italy, but Italian football/security needs an overhaul. While the real World needs to wake up and actually punish people for wrong doing, instead of a slap on the wrist and a warning.

Police investigating rioting at the Italy-Serbia game have detained 17 people, including the alleged ringleader, and UEFA warned that sanctions against Serbia could include disqualification from the European Championship or exclusion from future competitions.

The match in Genoa Tuesday was abandoned after seven minutes when Serbia fans threw flares and fireworks onto the field, burned a flag and broke barriers. Violent clashes continued through the night, injuring 16 people, including two policemen.

UEFA opened an investigation Wednesday and its disciplinary panel will hear the case Oct. 28.

Police found the alleged instigator of the rioting in the trunk of a bus that was to take the Serbian fans home from the Euro 2012 qualifier. Although his face was covered by a mask during the violence, police identified him by the tattoos on his arms and found explosive material in his possession.

Genoa police official Sebastiano Salvo identified the ringleader as 30-year-old Ivan Bogdanov, who climbed onto a barrier separating fans from the field, used a wire cutter to slice apart a mesh fence and launched fireworks onto the field.

Bogdanov didn't say anything when he was arrested and was being held in a Genoa jail under accusations of causing violence and damage and resisting arrest, Salvo said, adding that 600 pieces of fireworks and explosives were found in four bags inside the bus holding Serbian fans.

Serbian media reported that Bogdanov has a criminal record, including drug possession. He leads one of the most notorious Red Star Belgrade fan groups.

Of the 17 people detained, 16 were Serbian fans and one was an Italian, Salvo told The Associated Press.

Hours before the match, a flare was thrown at Serbia's top goalkeeper, Vladimir Stojkovic, inside the team bus, and Italy's squad found him trembling inside the Azzurri changing room when it arrived at Luigi Ferraris Stadium.

Stojkovic upset some Red Star Belgrade fans by moving to the fierce rival Partizan in the offseason.

Serbia's interior minister, Ivica Dacic, criticized Italian police for failing to prevent the riots or protect Serbian players, saying the Italians had been advised of the dangers a few hours before the match.

"The Italian police didn't even try to intervene, and their players seemed like they did not want to play the match," Dacic said.

However, Serbian foreign minister Vuk Jeremic offered an official apology following discussions with Italian counterpart Franco Frattini, with Jeremic saying that Serbia recognizes Italy as one of its biggest supporters to enter the European Union, and that his government won't hesitate to adopt radical measures against the hooligans.

Tomislav Karadzic, head of Serbia's soccer association, said on his return to Belgrade that he believes the rioting was premeditated and apparently organized from Belgrade. He said "these guys did not go there by themselves."

The association said it will meet to discuss the incident as it braces for tough sanctions from UEFA.

UEFA will examine reports from its delegate in Genoa, David Petriashvili of Georgia, and match referee Craig Thomson from Scotland before issuing a verdict.

Serbian officials said the fans belong to the same far-right groups that clashed with police in Belgrade last Sunday while trying to disrupt a gay pride parade, leaving more than 150 people injured.

Serbia's Constitutional Court is scheduled on Wednesday to start discussions on a public prosecutor's demand to ban 14 fan groups mostly belonging to Red Star and Partizan Belgrade clubs.

Serbia fans also clashed with police before Tuesday's match and delayed the start of the game for 45 minutes. When the match finally began, more flares and fireworks were thrown onto the field and referee Thomson stopped the match at 0-0.

Serbia has faced increased criticism at home after losing 3-1 at home Friday to Estonia. That match marked the debut of new coach Vladimir Petrovic, who was called in when Radomir Antic was fired following a 1-1 draw at home with Slovenia last month, which only added to a crisis that began with a disappointing first-round exit from the World Cup.

Hmm... I don't know. it's not like the Serbian NT is responsible for the traveling fans' (or ultras' to be exact) behavior. the Italian police and stadium security were as much responsible, if not more. so I wouldn't mind a replay.

Sepp Blatter knocks it out of the park again: “There are no fences and everyone is sitting in English stadiums. If this had been the case we would not have had the problems we had in Genoa yesterday at the match.”
