- English players were racially abused during their Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro

- The Tottenham right-back added he will quit playing for England earlier than expected

Danny Rose says he can not wait to retire from international duties with England and is frustrated with the penalty given to fans against racism.

Several England players were racially abused during their Euro 2020 qualifier away to Montenegro.

Europe's football governing body UEFA has charged Montenegro with racist behaviour and the Tottenham defender does not expect a significant punishment.

Rose said: "When countries get fined what I probably spend on a night out in London what do you expect?"

The 28-year-old, who was also abused while on England Under-21 in Serbia in 2012, says he will play on but has "had enough" of racism in the game.

"How I programme myself is that I think I've got five or six more years left in football, and I just can't wait to see the back of it," he added.

"Seeing how things are done in the game at the minute, you just have to get on with it.

"There is so much politics in football. I can't wait to see the back of it."

UEFA will release the punishment for Montenegro on May 16, which could either be a partial closure of their stadium or their matches will be played behind closed doors with a fine of £42,500.

Montenegro coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic denied hearing racist chants but England manager Gareth Southgate said "there's no doubt in my mind it happened - it's unacceptable".

Rose said he had been ready for more chanting in Podgorica last week but he just wanted to get the win and get home from Montenegro.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has responded to heavy criticisms aimed at him after partly blaming his teammate Moise Kean for the racial abuse he was subjected to by Cagliari fans.

The 19-year-old forward, who scored his side's second goal towards the end of the game, suffered racial attack from the home fans all through the game.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
