The_Dark_Knight Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Bulgaria are playing with a back five. By TAMB logic that means the Bulgarian manager is one of my aliases. Edited October 14, 2019 by The_Dark_Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dark_Knight Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 All joking aside, England's black players are being targetted by the Bulgaria "football" fans. I wouldn't be shocked if the ref didn't abandon the match before full time. The Bulgarian fans are numbskulls. (Not all of them) Some of them have been ejected.

JECK Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) On the plus side the Bulgaria team look very poor. I'd back us at Hampden against them. Play off final is a different story altogether. Edited October 14, 2019 by JECK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kumnio Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 The hypocrisy of this is comical. Yes the Bulgarians have an element of racist wankers, but for the English to act like victims, and morally superior is comical. The English fuckers were doing Nazi salutes earlier. Piers Morgan should STFU as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In an ideal world, but FIFA honestly don't care. It's all lip-service, empty threats and not much else. Teams of offending teams should be punished by having their match stopped and the other team given a win.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play off final is a different story altogether. It all comes down to the draw next month for me. If we are lucky enough to get a home tie in the final then we have a great chance. Two home games against mediocre opposition (by that I mean not one of Europe’s top 10 or 15 teams) isn’t beyond us. Not that I think either game would be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're absolute shite and would offer us the best chance of getting to the playoff final. I would imagine their next home match will be played behind closed doors though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dark_Knight Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Yes. That's right. Supporters of a team are going to buy hundreds and thousands of tickets just to get a team penalised... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passports/photo ID should be shown before you enter a match. How about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. You’re still left with the decision of what level you stop the game etc. Tough call when you’re stoping games and award points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Dark_Knight Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) It is a tough call, but these people are being paid a good wage to problem solve. It's about time something was implemented. Tonight was a start, as the fans were warned, some were ejected, etc. The first step was to stop the match and award England the win. I don't watch Scottish football anymore, as it's too corrupt for my tastes, but the SFA should do something similar when it comes to bigotry. Edited October 14, 2019 by The_Dark_Knight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large element of their support are knuckle-dragging neanderthals that will have been dishing out their own brand of racism around town the last couple of days. Bulgaria and other countries in that region seem 30+ years behind on racism, so good to see some attempts to stop it. I don’t think stopping the game or walking off is the answer, opens a can of worms that could see the victims penalised or teams walking off when they go behind... 2 hours ago, ParisInAKilt said: Aye Morgan trying to take any moral high ground is hilarious. Seems like some in the media couldn’t wait for this to happen. Talksport have been salivating over the potential for this to happen since the middle of last week.

I've met a number of England fans down the years. For all that they have a scummy element that is an anathema to me, for the most part those I have met have been friendly, pleasant and good company. Not a popular opinion on here but I don't give a fuck. By the same token Scottish football fans pointing the finger over racism is ironic and fuckin hilarious 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do find all this stuff ironic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
