Former England goalkeeper David James, who has been training with Exeter City, says the row over racism in football has not been helped by the FA's slowness to respond to the John Terry case.
The debate was intensified over the weekend when Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand was among a number of players who did not wear a campaign T-shirt in the warm-up against Stoke.
However, Professional Footballers' Association chairman Clarke Carlisle has defended the protest against the Kick It Out anti-racism campaign.
Exeter City’s poor run of results continued as they suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Chesterfield. In a close game a first-half header by Chris Atkinson was enough to claim all three points for the visitors at St James Park. Both sides wasted a host chances with Ci´ty going close late-on in the second-half through Guillem Bauza and Scott Bennett. The visitors had goalkeeper Richard O’Donnell to thank after the keeper produced a series of fine saves to earn Chesterfield all 3 points.

Grecians manager Paul Tisdale will be looking for his players to improve their defensive performance against Chesterfield on Saturday. (3pm)
Tisdale has made a point about focusing on the sides defensive responsibilities in this week’s training following last weekend's 3-0 defeat to Northampton and Tisdale is hoping to see a marked improvement on Saturday.
The City manager said: “It’s something we do weekly anyway but I suppose its had a bit more of an emphasis and a focus, there are so many things to work on each week, you can't work on them all but defending its quite a...

City's poor recent run of results continued as they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat at the hands of a clinical Northampton Town side at Sixfields this afternoon, writes Andrew Morris.
Northampton's powerful and direct approach triumphed over City's short passing game in a match littered with niggly fouls and yellow cards.
Positives for City were the valuable game time secured by Bennett, Gow and Sercombe. Fans will be hoping that all three are in contention for the visit of Chesterfield next Saturday where Tisdale's side will be searching for an improvement on today's...
Paul Tisdale’s preparations for Saturday’s trip to Northampton (3pm) were given a boost this week as Scot Bennett returned to training with the first team squad.
When the midfielder was stretchered off against Bristol Rovers 13 days ago fans and management feared the worst but scans showed just heavy bruising – much to the delight of Tisdale who told the local press that Bennett could return to action at Sixfields.
“He is back training and Scot has been told that there is no serious damage and he can go back through the pain he has,” he said. “It is a case of him pushing...
Scans have shown that Exeter City midfielder Scot Bennett didn’t suffer a serious injury against Bristol Rovers and will only be on the sidelines for a few weeks.
The worst was feared when the 21-year-old was stretchered off against Mark McGhee’s men six days ago but a relieved Paul Tisdale filled us in on the results of the scans.
“The scans proved to be positive,” the City boss said. “He hasn’t got any serious injury, just bad bruising and it will be sore for a number of weeks.
“Now it’s just a case of his pain threshold and what that allows him to do. So that is...
A goal in each half from Jamie Cureton helped City get back to winning ways at Underhill last night.
The 37-year-old composed himself before pulling the trigger on 37 minutes to fire the Grecians into the lead before nodding home Tommy Doherty’s perfect cross to finish off a great move. City, with the patched-up midfield duo Doherty and Matt Oakley excelling, controlled large parts of the second half but had to fight for the victory after Jake Hyde nodded home but held on for a very satisfying three points. City boss Paul Tisdale pulled a selection surprise by handing a first City...
