Sickening behaviour from racist AS Roma fans. Cat got your tongue @Nembo_Kid and @Little_Lord_Fauntleroy ?
Roma have been charged by Uefa after some of their fans were heard making “monkey chants” towards Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger.
The German international came on as a 77th-minute substitute during Wednesday’s Champions League Group C tie which ended 3-3 at Stamford Bridge.
Rudiger, 24, moved to Chelsea from Roma in the summer.
The case will be dealt with by Uefa’s control, ethics and disciplinary body on 16 November.
Before his move to England for an initial £29m, Rudiger said racism at football matches was a “serious issue” in Italy.
I’ll allow due process to conclude before I comment
I see you are keeping very quiet on the scandal involving the English FA.

You ostrich. You took a very different view on due process, when the unfortunate Mr Voller was attacked on his way to the FA Cup semi final back in April. You immediately rushed to judgement. Sounds more like a case of racism is okay when its AS Roma ‘fans’ involved.
I see the suspect is described as a white man, aged in his early 20s and approximately 5ft 10ins tall wearing a black hooded top or jacket. Not the sort of attire you would normally associate with the largely well heeled Tottenham Hotspur support. I condemn the attack on Mr Voller unreservedly. This sort of carry on has no place in society.
Still no comment on the English FA?
This could be our year.
It’s the strongest squad we’ve had in years, loads of quality depth in midfield, attack and full backs. EDF has done a very good job so far - bar a couple of unfortunate breaks to Inter and Napoli we could be a much stronger position now.
I’d have worries about our centre backs, ideally we can add another centre back in January but so far so good.
Schick and Defrel could be back in action at the weekend.

Huge three points. We’ve been superb on the road this season
Kolarov has been an immense signing.
Another 1-0 win last night.
Rick Karsdorp made his debut but became the latest Roman player to rupture their ACL
Rudiger, Rui, Florenzi x2, Luca Pellegrini, Tumminello, Emerson and now Karsdorp have rupture their ACLs at Roma in the past 16 months.
Apart from Rudiger and Tumminello, they have all been full backs who have ruptured theirs.
The positive is we do have Peres and Florenzi so we’re reasonably well covered.

That’s a lot of ACL injuries. Could be a strength and conditioning problem at the club. @caoimhaoin ?
Italian Football is known for hard training. However in my experience they had good S&C and medical teams. Particulary Juve and the milans.
They onviously have something amiss here though. Thats ridiculous
Any progress on AS Roma locating the racist supporters in their ranks who were making the monkey noises at Rudiger last week?
Any comment on the scandal engulfing the English FA?
You’ll have to bring me up to speed on that, I haven’t been following that one.
