"There were times, not long ago, when the football family thought that the scourge of racism was a distant memory," Ceferin said."The rise of nationalism across the continent has fuelled some unacceptable behaviour and some have taken it upon themselves to think that a football crowd is the right place to give voice to their appalling views.""There were times, not long ago, when the football family thought that the scourge of racism was a distant memory.
"Uefa, in close cooperation with the Fare network , instituted the three-stage protocol for identifying and tackling racist behaviour during games. "More broadly, the football family - everyone from administrators to players, coaches and fans - needs to work with governments and NGOs to wage war on the racists and to marginalise their abhorrent views to the fringes of society.
After making a pass in the first half, Mings glanced over his shoulder and could be heard calling towards the touchline:"Did you hear that?" A group of Bulgaria supporters wearing black hooded tops - some wearing bandanas covering their faces - started to leave the stadium after the game was halted for a second time. BBC Radio 5 Live reported that some made racist gestures while heading towards the exits.
Fans should have a Life time ban. If these fans are caught. Either teams nor competitors need this. They have to much going on
BBCWorld Deporable behavior!
Racism is totally unacceptable. In any form. But the cynic in me would bet they wouldn’t have carried on playing if they had been losing
Like this you mean.
Winning was the best response. Bravo
It must have been a very proud day for Mings on his debut for his country. The the focus should have been on that. I think he played well but It's such a shame it's been overshadowed by the racist Bulgarians.
...coz football in the UK don’t got a problem with racism ... homophobia, sectarianism. I see. How interesting.
As the French World cup winning team demonstrated, if you are going to Win in 2019 you need Blackmen on your side off cause you lose your women in the process but that's life someone please tell the Bulgarians they obviously didn't get the memo. MelaninGods DominantGenes
Not Bulgarian.. You don't get it.. These idiots are far right Nazi supremacists and don't follow football.. If not identified and dealt with they will just turn up at other games and do the same.
english fans were caught on camera doing the same thing bulgarian supporters posting them on sports posts on facebook ---england fuelled this problem england and england only
My mother a WW2 front-line nurse was chased all over Europe by the Nazis and was subjected to many ordeals, those were real Nazis not those who do Nazi salutes at football match’s.
The lads should have walked off match forfeit to England and Bulgaria banned for 10 years.
BBCWorld Racism and Xenophobia. All too often a familiar but unwelcome face in football.
If I where getting £100000-£200000 per week you could call me anything you like.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Your TV 6 O'Clock News was an absolute disgrace. Not a word about Syria? All about football? What has happened to BBC TV news? Frightening.
But we're the players, esp Mings, primed to hear the abuse? Would Southgate have pulled them off if they were 2-0 down? In first half, Mings seemed more concerned to hear abuse than to play football, and he is an outstanding player. Southgate softened his objections once 3-0 up.
BBCWorld Interesting as there are many Bulgarian women married to AFRICAN MEN and have offspring from their marriages. Ok put boycott Bulgaria on the banned travel destination list for Africans spend your money at home.
Brilliant guys, don't let them win!! Much respect to them 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I got called white trash off a black person & the police did nothing
Nazi salutes? No political gestures allowed in football. Which means no poppies. Thank fuck for that. Or am I being facetious
BBCWorld Like England is innocent 😇
BBCWorld Im with you guys. Well done and great atitude from you all.
In Spain there a lot of nazis/fascist, even 'legal' political parties and even a Franco (nazi dictator) Foundation that receives funds from the state

BBCWorld Why are you posting this again?
that is bad
BBCWorld Simple solution: Remove Vulgaria from participating in all sporting events.
BBCWorld Ironic is the persecution of Eastern Europe, throughout the world? While mocking their biases... ego boost to counter! Thank goodness this isn’t America, or England, with that amount of pressure-cooking they would probably lash out in violence! Like all have been?
What's the hullabaloo about calling you black monkey...if they call you that, call them white monkey or orangutan or adaka or ntebe etc
Racism is the illness which needs treatment.
BBCWorld Ban such idiots from coming to game. If women can be ban from watching game than its no shame in banning racist people.

Overheard woman in cafe say 'they're paid millions. they should just get over themselves'. My thought: How much does one need to be paid to ignore racist chants and nazi salute? £25,000 p.a. £50000 p.a. £100000 or a round £1 million?
BBCWorld Racism is the dis-ease of people YET to EVOLVE that's why they find monkey antics funny and appealing. Civilized people don't get their jokes.
Disgraceful in this day and age
That racist chanting was disgusting. Zero tolerance is needed. Those fans were enjoying this. This is no earnest warped belief system it is casual and nasty. It’s all too frequent now.
Surprised he didn’t go and stamp all over their faces; they deserved it, and mings is very good at it.
Its sad that the LiarJohnson doesnt lead by example
Oh the irony of Slavic folks still idealising the Nazis. Open a textbook, lads.
White racists people in Bulgaria need a slap in the face !! WhitePeople
Britain is racist too, otherwise there wouldn’t be Brexit
Only way to stop this is to permanently ban Bulgaria.
This rightly gets headline news. Rotherham child exploration got ignored.
I think they did the right thing, they needed to make a point that racism wont win, they were there to cause trouble and stop the match, if you walked you would have given them what they wanted playon stopracism

😂😂😂 Good one. Never gonna happen. Too much money in it. But UEFA will continue to pay lip service and pretend to care.
