That's what the fan's of Russian club Zenit St Petersburg are OFFICIALLY demanding!

A Zenit St Petersburg supporters' group has called for non-white and gay players to be excluded from the team.

The Russian champions' largest fans' group, Landscrona, said in an open-letter that black players are "forced down Zenit's throat".

They added that gay players are "unworthy of our great city".

Dietmar Beiersdorfer, Zenit director of sports, said players were selected "without any limitation regarding origin, religion or skin colour".

Zenit were the only top-flight Russian team without a black player until this summer.

They signed Brazilian striker Hulk and Belgian midfielder Axel Witsel for £64m.

The fans' manifesto read: "The absence of black Zenit players is just an important tradition that underlines the team's identity and nothing more."

Black players in the Russian league have been the target of monkey chants and Anzhi Makhachkala's Christopher Samba had bananas thrown at him by fans. Zenit St Petersburg were fined by the Russian Football Union after one of their fans offered Roberto Carlos of Anzhi a banana before a match between the two sides in March 2011.

Zenit are currently third in the Russian Premier League behind leaders CSKA Moscow and Anzhi. They will play in this season's Europa League after finishing third in Champions League Group C.

Hard to believe we are already a dozen years into the twenty-first century - well most of us are anyway.

As for the topic, I agree with you Sluffy, they're clearly not living in the 21st Century.

UEFA should take positive action. Ban the buggers from all European competitions and make them bloody pariahs that all football fans should be ashamed to be associated with.

UEFA won't do anything. Look at the pathetic punishment handed out to Serbia recently.

The England National team should rufuse to play in Serbia again as a protest and the FA should recommend all English clubs to refuse to play a game in Serbia again. Action is needed against FIFA & UEFA, both making a mockery of our sport.

Didn't the poor bugger pop his cork after some nasty business in Cape Town ?
