Montenegro should face EXPULSION from Euro 2020 qualifying after racially abusing England players, says Kick It Outs Troy Townsend
Anti-racism campaigner Troy Townsend believes UEFA should consider kicking Montenegro out of Euro 2020 qualifying after England’s players were racially abused in Podgorica.The Three Lions’ 5-1 victory was marred by disgraceful scenes of racism after Raheem Sterling, Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi suffered abuse from home supporters.UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Montenegro, including a charge of racist behaviour which, if proven, ‘is punished with a minimum of a partial stadium closure’.But Townsend, head of development for anti-racism charity Kick It Out, believes the current sanctions are insufficient.2

Im not sure UEFA are going to deal with it as effectively as they should, Townsend told talkSPORT.Although there are rules in place, we can change those rules to suit the crime. A 100,000 fine is not effective and its not had an impact. So lets start looking at not only stadium closures, lets look at expulsions.You are responsible for your supporters, whether you like it or not.When England were causing mayhem on foreign soil in the past, the FA had to take the brunt of that, so why should these other federations take the brunt of what their fans are doing?We have a duty of care to protect our players from situations like that, but that duty of care falls on UEFA first and they have failed. UEFA have failed those players and they have failed their own protocol, but who is holding them to account? Absolutely nobody!”Townsend vented his anger on social media last night, but upon reflection, he was impressed with how the whole situation was handled by England and the FA.He added: I was very angry last night, but maybe different this morning.You have to process these incidents and that theyre happening again. We put on an event last week just to raise awareness and a week later here we are talking about black players being racially abused again.Why should Callum Hudson-Odoi have to come out and, rather than talk about his first start for England, be talking about the fact fans have been calling him a monkey?2

I applaud the players and the manager for the way they have dealt with the situation and the way they have spoken.I also applaud the FA and whoever said lets put those players up, let people hear their passion, let people hear how theyve been effected and let people understand in this day and age its just unacceptable.The power of the players voice is the biggest thing we have and I applaud those players who went out there and said it exactly how it was.Those players were obviously happy to be interviewed, because it was a time where they could have their moment and Im definitely sure they have empowered players up and down the country to have their say.
