Some shocking scenes in the crowd, game stopped twice because of racist chanting. A chance now that it won't make it to 90mins, one more incident and I can't see how the game finishes.

As Ian Wright said, no one wants to walk off but why should our black players have to play through that.

Not just chanting. Nazi salutes as well. Ignorant bastards.

Yes, also monkey chants, holding up a "no respect" sign as well.

Don't know what the rules are, but teams should be given a 20-0 loss, be fined all TV and attendance money, be made to play their next three home games behind closed doors and not be allowed any support in their next three away games. It would be horrible for the rest of the supporters, but might actually get some of these countries to take these problems seriously - hopefully before they occur. Some of the perpetrators (who thankfully now seem to have left) were filmed. What chance any sanctions being taken against them?

Bet this gets tasty after the final whistle (whenever that might be). Hope the England fans go all 1990s on them.
Bulgaria look shot. Honestly worse than San Marino.
Fifa (andUefa or whatever it is) have a habit of doing 'nothing' or all but nothing ( as on previous occasions) when it comes to these kind of incidents , sadly

Until England walk off and embarrass the authorities, nothing will change.
UEFA will huff and puff, fine Bulgaria, etc etc, but embarrassing them on international TV with their sponsors names in the headlights by walking off the pitch, it's priceless coverage. Or fans need to effectively petition sponsors to remove their money from UEFA tournaments until they do something about it.

No but you 'hoped' it would happen.

Clubs refusing to play on the Champions' League might get their attention, never happen of course, money always trumps morals.

What's the point of any comment on this thread? It's not a 'come up with ideas to help eradicate racism in football' thread. It's a general discussion about the racist element within this game and I hope England fans give them some this evening. Sorry if my opinion upsets you.

So you hope it will happen even though you don't think it will help? Why?

Yup. When you devalue their tournament, only then will they care. The fact UEFA won't comment tonight speaks of spinning the situation.

So there were continued monkey chants in the second half.
It is a shame that the game wasnt abandoned.

We should have walked off. That would have sent a massive global message. Now all that will happen, is that UEFA will fine them about £100k max. Incidentally, were those racist morons thrown out ? or did they go by they own accord ? as I didn’t see any security or police escorting them out. I suspect the latter and they must be so proud having had their pathetic moment of shameful and disgusting behaviour screened on TV around Europe. Filth the lot of them. Safe home to all the England ??????? Fans and resist any provocation. as we will most probably be fined £1m for throwing a few plastic bar chairs and banned for 3 years. For F@ck sake UEFA take proper action against these backward Football Associations and get off the pot and grow a pair.

6-0! Let’s all laugh at the racist scum. We should have walked off laughing after the sixth.

I'm glad the FA chairman in his interview pointed out that we have our own issues on this score quite prominently.
Got to agree with Ian Wright, the FA chairman sounded weak when interviewed about it, even said it could have sounded like monkey chants, where was he sitting, outside!
Great to see so many England fans there.

I think all the talk of England walking off was just hype it happened in the second half why didn’t we leave them in interviews I’ve seen they said they would of walked off in second half if it carried on but it did carry on and we didn’t walk off Bulgaria should be ashamed as a country of idiots like these and there manager should be sacked for talking bolloxs saying it didn’t happen
