Bulgaria v England

Quoted from Abdul19

The Bulgarian FA bloke who said there were no racism problems there will be feeling stupid when he gets UEFA's hard hitting £358 fine in the post.

It'll be €358.... and payable in affordable monthly installments over the next 5 years no doubt

This just shows what thick knobheads racists are. Those idiots with their Nazi insignia - yes, those same Nazis who wanted to thin out the Slav populations to provide living space for the Germans.

Eastern Europe does still have a problem, no doubt.

So does the UK, but it seems to be idiots on social media over here more than anything.

Regarding the game, every time I see Harry Winks play for England makes me think he has to be 1st choice, he oozes class.

Pleased for Mings. I’d like to see Grealish called up for the next games, and Abraham given a go.

Trent Alexander-Arnold has to be the long term answer at right back.

Would the racist who red-crossed this like to out himself?  The irony is they talk about others being lesser human beings.

Macca and the defence could learn a lot from Pickford and Englands backs very rarely does he kick the ball out from open play there is always a player availiable to take the ball short and build up.

The Racist stuff was bad most east european sides teams have a large racist element despite having coloured players of there own. I noticed it calmed down after a large group of Nazi saluting idiots were removed most had hoods and masks on.



Full marks for Mings for pointing it out but pity it was this lads frustration that prompted action in the first place.

The FA chairman forgot his name already.

Said FIFA takes racistium very seriously .

What a plonker.

Must be said, it's the first time I've seen Mings play and thought he looked to have a lot of potential. Quick and athletic and very comfortable with the ball at his feet for an English central defender. Obviously, he didn't have a great deal of defending to do last night but, assuming he can actually do what is required defensively, a good prospect for the future.

Agree on Mings Maringer. He is 26 now and were it not for a bad injury robbing him of nearly 2 years he would probably be on 10-15 caps. Need Gomez to get regular football and Stones, when fit, to eradicate silly mistakes. We then have 4 centre halves along with plenty of full backs to pick from.

Whether they can work as a unit to defend against top 10 sides is another question.

There are a lot of ironies in it aren’t there?

A game of football with insults and monkey chants thrown in is small beer in a region where genocide has been practiced for generations even before Nazism existed. Racism is part and parcel of life there but of course it shocked our western liberal sensibilities when it came to the fore in the Balkan War after being swept under the carpet for decades. The same applies to the Turks and the Kurds and of course anti-Semitism, you could go round the world finding the same hatred with different names attached. Is Qatar an anti-racist paradise? And our answer? Bring ‘em off the field for a bit. That’ll teach ‘em!

The other irony that may not be lost on Sterling this morning, when he thinks about it, is the support and chants he got from England fans who have been as racist against him as anyone since he got in the team. Last night it was not so much support for anti-racism they were showing as a case of my enemy’s enemy is my friend.

No, if we really want to beat racism we have to fight fire with fire and ban countries from competition. But, hey, we can’t do that can we? There’s money involved and the coffers of UEFA and FIFA must be kept filled.
