HIghlight from the story was 'Balakov said he would be "truly sorry if it did turn out to be true" but said there had been no such problems before.'
Then couple of paras later 'The Vasil Levski Stadium was subject to a partial closure for this match after Bulgaria were sanctioned for racist behaviour during qualifiers against Kosovo and the Czech Republic.
"This has not happened to us before," said Balakov, whose translator added that the disciplinary measures imposed on Bulgaria by Uefa were not because of racist chanting but "because of a banner of an organisation that is not forbidden by Bulgarian law".'The guy makes comical Ali credible.... |

The Bulgarian prime minister has called for the head of the country's football association to resign after England players were racially abused in a European qualifier in Sofia on Monday.
The match was halted twice because of racist behaviour by home fans.
Prime minister Boyko Borissov has asked his sports minister to suspend all relations with the Bulgarian Football Union (BFU), "including financial ones", until Borislav Mihaylov resigns.

Its difficult isn't it. How do you "ban racism" other than by closing the doors?
We haven't totally got rid of it ourselves. Bulgaria are back where we were in the 80s. It takes a change in society.

Scapegoat..
Not really. While the chants and Nazi salutes etc may not be his fault, he did himself no favours by denying there is a problem. If he'd condemned it instead then he would probably not have people calling for him to be sacked. |

We seem to also be creeping backwards on the issue what with Banana's being thrown, the issues at Millwall and the ridiculous fine and the shite that Sterling gets, somewhat ironically via the same media outlets that were very vociferous in condoning Bulgaria this morning. Oh and our PM..... |

Racists and what really is it..
Serious question.. Living outside the UK for many years you realise people's views and behaviour patterns are simply not the same and neither should they be.
When comments fly by... Just another f#ucking POME arriving...Is this a Racist comment?
I am of the belief that we as humans are simply different and what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Don't use the Racist card as a crutch.
Just my opinion and go Boris with Brexit😎
What ever happens good luck my friends

I think making derogatory comments against people because of the colour of their skin, when people have been persecuted throughout history (and brutally so) because of the colour of their skin, is a bit different to being called a Pom

Fans don't self police, I throw myself into that category. I have been in the TE when racist chants have started and not done much more than shout shut the fuck up. Closing the doors may make the rest of push for a bit more peer pressure. |
