Bulgaria to play behind closed doors 18:41 - Oct 29 with 1023 views

Apologies for an unfashionable football thread (sic).

I think that's fair and the Bulgarian FA probably saw that coming.
They were already being penalised for racist behaviour in a previous game when they played England.
If Bulgaria have such a problem with furriners why on earth are they about to join the Schengen area.

£65k and two games (one suspended for two years)... very lenient. Quelle surprise.

If this is UEFA 'getting tough' on racism, then we can expect a lot more of the same.

That's slightly unfair on the white guys who run UEFA.

The Charlie White song? Before every game?

Bit cruel.

For no one knows what goes on behind closed doors

Not entirely football related really - the rise of the far right/anti immigrant sentiments/Brexit. Lots of parallels and speculative topical relevance here!

There are one Qatari and two women on the UEFA Executive Committee.

A lot of complaining about this on social media, but the punishment shouldn't reflect the pure severity of the crime, it should reflect the culpability of the Bulgarian FA.

Haringey and Yeovil don't seem to have received any punishment at all for the abandonment of their FA Cup match.

Not all women are nice and level-headed.
There was a woman who ran the UK back in the '80's who was not very nice at all.

Fair my arse. All that does is penalise the fans, with a tiny slap over the wrist financially for the Blgarian football authorities. A ban was the only option for a football federation with any intention of seriously dealing with racism.

Poll:

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

I was merely celebrating the diversity rather than commenting on the intellectual or other qualities of those three.
