Other Football - 2019/20

This stadium is a real 80s Eastern European throwback. Uninviting and uncovered concrete bowl with a running track. Boggy pitch. An atmosphere that alternates between whistling, jeering and blowing horns. A police van and an ambulance not far from pitchside. A whole platoon of riot police in one corner. Police dogs on leashes going apeshit at the (sparse) crowds because they've probably not been fed for days. Small boys. Jumpers for goalposts. Marvellous.

With about 73 people there.

Knuckle-dragging racists not taking too kindly to a public announcement requesting them not to be knuckle-dragging racists.

[Davelfc]

Jesus fucking Christ, what utter fucking scumbags. Abandon the match and stop these Neanderthals from attending games. 

[polymerpunkah]

Ukraine up 2-0 vs Portugal, against the run of play.

 

I'm hoping for double figures.

To be fair, it's the Bulgarian fans being racist cunts.

[moof]

What were they doing?

[Ronnie Whelan]

The abiding judgement i will make of the games i've seen over the past few days is that teams like bulgaria, romania and ireland that used to have really good players are all now incredibly shit. I do still love international tournaments.

 

Odds are that team brexit are getting a kicking tonight from the hospitable bulgarians.

   What is Uefa's three-step protocol?

   Bulgaria 0-2 England

   Uefa's three-step protocol for dealing with racism at matches is as follows:

   1. The referee will speak to the stadium announcer and demand the halting of racist behaviour.
   2. If it continues, the referee can take the players off the field into the dressing rooms for a period of time and the stadium announcer will make another address.
   3. If it still continues, the match will be abandoned.

[Baltar]

Proper cunts these fans. I reckon they'll purposely get the match abandoned to avoid as thrashing.

Step 4 - fine the home team's federation 20 Euros.

Josh clearly has never heard of the EDL.

Lfcway: Fifa protocol 1 executed. This is truly awful. Sad sad situation.
 

Josh: Got to give the English fans credit for drowning out the nastiness with a cracking rendition of God save the Queen

[Anubis]

Can’t we just get our (LFC) players down the tunnel to the safety of the dressing room, and then release the police dogs on everyone else.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Racism/nationalism is rearing its head again in the east of Europe, if it ever really went away. 

 

It's good to see the England fans calling the Bulgarian fans out by the medium of chanting. I hope they do the one about the Germans or the Irish next... 

[Creator Supreme]

Abandon the match, I can't stand England but you can hear it every time a black player touches the ball. I'd happily boo Sterling for being a cunt, but not because of the colour of his skin!

[Davelfc]

Let's just hope there's no crowd trouble outside.

Post update

Bulgaria 0-3 England

A group of supporters in black hoodies are currently making their way out of the ground.

[TheHowieLama]

Twenty or thirty fans have caused this? No sir.

[Strontium]

I wonder how many times a racially diverse England team needs to net against hapless Bulgrian opposition before the home fans realise that maybe monocultural white supremacy isn't the greatest model for their society.

[moof]

Wonder why they just buggered off like that. 

 

Don’t really know what to say with all this. It’s just sad

What do people think is the best course of action? Keep playing and embarrass them on the pitch? Walk off and have the game abandoned? Kick Bulgaria out of the competition? 

 

I dont know but but they need to try and get this under control. It’s quite clearly a problem that is going to keep escalating

What a terribly racist comment that is. It's fucking football, colour of skin doesn't come into it at all. 

 

I don't know what you think you read, but I suggest reading it again.

 

My argument is that nations who have embraced racial diversity have reaped the benefits, not least in the sporting arena.

It obviously does in Bulgaria

[Creator Supreme]

If they do manage to finish the game it's going to be about 7 or 8 nil anyway, Bulgaria's team are nearly as shite as their fans, those little twats in the black hoodies need fucking in the head! Scummy fucking rats!
