Barnes says we must tackle the issue at home and that we are 'absolving ourselves of responsibility' by criticising Montenegro.

"Because it is high profile, we say, 'let's do something about it', but we are really not tackling the issue here."Will stadium bans reduce discrimination?

"If you're talking about making teams play behind closed doors - you've got the high-profile situation of Raheem Sterling at Manchester City - but you go to the League One, League Two and non-league games and you'll hear racist abuse as fans have said. "So laws, yes, I understand the reason why people feel we have to do this, but how many years have we been doing this and nothing has changed. If it has not worked, let's try a different approach."He added:"The solution is to tackle it in society and once we do that it will disappear from all walks of society of which football is one.

John Barns:Racism needs to be solved,but religion in sport also needs to be solved. Players blessings themselves,kissing fingers& grass pointing to imaginary friend in the sky Mr Sterling did this,causes offence to non believers.

Exactly correct

Use the correct word bigotry every time someone yells racism it is divisive as it indicates that there are different races there is only one the human race if you are not human what are you ?

More race baiting from barnes

John Barnes still trying to muster attention then? So this story is all about what 'fans have said'...not what John Barnes has said/heard or even thought about until he was offered money to put his name and chubby little face on it...damp squib as usual non story.

Well said John Barnes, all the people who have been tweeting 'Throw Montenegro out of the competition' have a closer look to home, maybe British teams should be thrown out of the Premier League, FA cup etc

Legend on the pitch. Legend off the pitch. You can’t help but like JB. The colour of a persons skin is not basis for judgement. End of.

Can i hear Gareth Southgates words echoing.

football racism any club in any cup caught doing this ban from next round if they win,if loose out of next years cup,premier league 10 points deduction asp,any European game ban from competing international matches kicked out,fines worthless behind closed doors useless get tough

That’s great John, maybe we could simultaneously tackle the homophobia issue too 👍

Surely we just agree racism needs sorting not argue about it

He’s right. Grasp the thistle.

What an arse.

They are at it again

Can't we solve both simultaneously?

FA needs 2 get a back bone start playing games behind closed doors 4 hole season , then it will change

nice a homophobe talking about racism
