Flashpoint: Nigel Reo-Coker appeals to the referee as tensions boil over
There was astonishment last night at UEFA's decision not to deal with the matter until July, weeks after the tournament ends.
Former England striker Les Ferdinand, cousin of England Under 21 defender Anton, said: "The best outcome would be if they got chucked out of the tournament now.
"Nothing really will change unless they hand out a punishment to fit the crime.
"Every now and again racism rears its ugly head and unless there's some real drastic action taken against it, it will continue to do so.
"Serbia topped their group in the competition and to chuck them out would have a major impact."
