QPR's Djibril Cisse: There is No Racism in English Football QPR striker Djibril Cisse has dismissed concerns of racism in England, ahead of the game against Chelsea at Loftus Road By Chandrashekar Srinivasan: Subscribe to Chandrashekar's RSS feed September 15, 2012 12:54 PM GMT QPR striker Djibril Cisse has dismissed concerns of racism in England, ahead of the game against Chelsea at Loftus Road. The Premier League fixture will mark the first time the Blues return to the ground that saw veteran centre back John Terry accused of racially abusing Hoops' defender Anton Ferdinand. "Do not get me wrong, the rivalry between QPR and Chelsea is very strong. They are our local rivals. It's a derby and it's a big game for us - bigger than most. It is without doubt one of the most important games of the season, for players and fans. But all the clubs I have played for have had big local derbies and, when it comes to bad behaviour on and off the pitch, this is not the worst," the 31 year old French international said emphatically. The Terry-Ferdinand incident, which erupted in October last year, during what seemed to be a routine league game, led to the former England captain facing criminal charges (he was cleared of those earlier this year) and an inquiry by the FA (the hearing is set for 24 September). The affair also forced a number of other players into the mix, including Terry's club and country team mate Ashley Cole (who testified on the latter's behalf as a character witness). Worse still, it threatened to engulf the entire English national team, on the eve of the summer's 2012 European Championships. Follow us
