Uefa has a three-step protocol, introduced in 2009, in place for dealing with such incidents in matches.
Southgate said:"I explained to the players that if anything else did happen in the second half we would be coming off. In March Sterling was vocal in condemning the abuse received by England players during their 5-1 win in Montenegro. "We are sickened by the disgusting racist abuse directed at England men's team by Bulgaria supporters - including TV footage which appeared to show Nazi salutes and monkey noises," it said.
Uefa told BBC Sport any action in response to Monday's events would have to follow on from a disciplinary committee, which in turn has to wait for a referee's report. "Given the debate that took place before this match, the focus on the Bulgarian fans and the widespread warnings that were issued, the concerns expressed by players, officials, it was quite shocking to see what took place," he said.
Hypocrisy
If anyone knows about vile behaviour, it’s him.
As the ignorant White Supremacists witness the use of Black men to win matches it can only get worse because everyone knows theres no competition even the women know it too. MelaninGods DominantGenes
🤮 Dammit something i have to agree with him about.
This horrible little man has a job to control the house, he's going far beyond his remit by saying anything other than, Order.......sack him now, say no golden handshake..
What about your behaviour being bias to remain when you should be impartial being the speaker.. utter disgrace to democracy and the UK Bercow
What gets me is that *everyone* seems to be turning a blind eye to the fact that what we were witnessing were people of colour racially abusing *darker* people of colour! I saw ppl a few shades lighter than me abusing ppl a few shades darker than me 🤫
Why is this person allowed to continue
You would be wise to follow and behave like them
Takes one (vile behaviour practitioner) to know one. What a hypocrite
And?
How can he call anyone vile when he sits behind the countries back and discusses how to get the UK to stay in the EU in secret
One of the most hated people in the UK shares an unnecessary and irrelevant opinion.
'dignity', a thing other people do!🤔
Obviously this is far more important than the current political mess and needs a mention
All of this coverage... Some of it generalising Bulgaria and all its citizens. Why can't we all just get real? This happens everywhere - it's not acceptable, and it's not a reason to condemn a whole country. There are no racists in the UK?
Watching football when he should be working no wonder the country is in a mess
He knows the word dignity?
Good start. Now to get racism out of politics.
Which is more than can be said of your behaviour !!!
you guys talk about sports here?
What a fud
Very honourable, but what's that got to do with UK politics? Get on with your job.
BBCPolitics The Speaker yet again exploiting his position to give an opinion. Maybe the referee in the match could have done more.
When was the last time he went football? Band wagon jumper
I like to accuse the Speaker Mr Bernie of vile behaviour for talking to EU leaders behind our backs!!!! Disgraceful behaviour and he should be sacked!
It's a pity the same can't be said about him
The sooner he is out of politics the better
There is no behaviour more vile than that of the supreme narcissist Bercow the boor!
It just a shame the MPs don't know how to behave they're not much better in sighting anti EU sentiment.
How would he know about honour and dignity when he conspired against this country with the EU
And remoaners want to stay in the EU to trade with such countries and allow their people to roam freely.
Any reason why you chose to highlight this criticism bbc? Didn’t the PM, for example, offer similar criticism?
If he doesn't like vile behaviour, then he should avoid mirrors.
Another tarnished character looking for reflected glory
BremainInSpain Yes it’s a shame BorisJohnson is such a bad ambassador for this country GarethSouthgate for PM
Says the prat who tried to step brexit, what a two faced bastard - try to sabotage with one hand them crawls with the other....sigh!
It was vile but why is he grandstanding about it?
Who is interested in his opinion? He never misses an opportunity to grandstand. Can’t wait for him to go.
Shame he and others behave the same way as the Bulgarians
ooooh I bet the bulgarian fans are shitting themselves
By the way, let's not forget what our football fans do when they go to other countries for football matches. Years ago, I remember some, mooning in Turkey.. and got arrested..
One thing people will agree with him on...
BBCPolitics WTF does it have to do with him as speaker? Oh it doesn't does it?
BBCPolitics Absolutely Glad they didn't walk off.the racists would have won.Gareth Southgate Well Done.Kane Won in the end.All Football Authorities must do something.the Board should have People of Colour,Women from the Younger Generation
Shame he doesn't sort his own racist party out. Britain can bang their guns about other countries all they want but its happening in your own backyard. Until you sort out the likes of the Brexit party,Farage,Johnson,Tommy Robinson and English football fans you cant point fingers
John Bercow saying something positive for a change
Good news
Unlike him!
BBCPolitics Well you got that right.
He already thinks he’s the PM 🙈 embarrassing
Good to hear the PM condemn the racism but I had to hold back shouting hypocrite after this Gov's Hostile Environment & Windrush scandal Some politicians rhetoric over Brexit has demonised Foreigners in this country EU workers, immigrants & Asylum seekers rhetoric stokes racism
At last. Something to praise Little Man Syndrome Bercow for speaking up.
He needs to visit some UK sports grounds, streets, car parks, towncentres if he wants to be outraged. Typical Parliamentary hypocrisy to think UK is blameless and it's everywhere else.
BBCPolitics
BBCPolitics Has Vulgaria even condemned this behaviour yet or do they think it's okay?
Finally the idiot is chatting some sense.
Bercow getting all high and mighty is a bit of a laugh. Not to far back in history and someone like him would have had his head on a spike at Traitors Gate.
Pity Berco couldn’t learn from GarethSouthgate.
Shame he can’t behave on the same way xx
Pitty we have a desgracfull speaker!
Southgate should have taken players off the pitch & abandoned game..... No player should have to put up with racist abuse!
Don’t worry Siri , there’s plenty of them in London !
Hope he tells them when he arranges his private meeting with them.
