DUTCH club FC Den Bosch is vowing to do all it can to identify and punish a group of fans who hurled racist abuse at AZ Alkmaar and United States striker Jozy Altidore during a cup quarterfinal.
Den Bosch said yesterday that fans responsible for the monkey chants in the KNVB Cup tie "do not belong in the De Vliert (stadium) and will face the toughest possible sanctions." The racist chants gave a hollow ring to the slogan "Without respect, no football" that was coined by Dutch football authorities in the aftermath of the death of a linesman who was attacked by players after a match between two youth teams near Amsterdam in December. Altidore, who is black, was not available for comment yesterday but the 23-year-old prolific striker scored a penalty in the visitors' 5-0 win over the nine-man hosts.
