The British just have a habit of not complaining and are reserved. Don’t kid yourself that in the comfort of their own home and especially outside London, most people are pretty racist. It’s just hidden behind the twitching curtain. Not just Brits though. I have worked in plenty of countries. The Hong Kong people hate the Chinese. Singaporeans don’t like Malaysians. Americans hate Mexicans. Mexicans hate Colombians. The list is endless. It will never change.The difference between the Bulgarian supporters is that they don’t care saying it because they won’t be chucked into prison for a year + Eastern European governments actively encourage it. The papers take this morning is classic the British sh*t don’t stink. That we are exceptional as a race. We could be proud of our supporters for condemning it. It’s mainly because our supporters have spotters and hundreds of cameras panned on them. If they could get away with it a number would. A few nights before they tried to smash up Prague. I kind of get what Stockholm is trying to say although my mod job has just gone out the window.

You seem quite informed. Please enlighten me as to who the Kazakhs hate, or possibly the Uzbeks. There seems to be a lot of hating going on fella.

Make of that what you will.

They refuse to conform to the way their society is going and retreat into a world of resistance and social exclusion. They would have heard from grandparents about being a kingdom and joining Germany in its fight to dominate Europe, but then became a Russian satellite and were regimented into being good 'communists'. Reprieved from that they had free elections only to find they had elected politicians and nothing much changed, joining the EU must have been the last straw with all those foreigners wandering in followed by waves of refugees. Can you wonder why they wouldn't want to go back a couple of generations? Better that, I suppose, than the clerics of all persuasions who seem to want to go back to the fourteenth century or even earlier.

Popov the caption of the national team approached the fans at half time amd spoke for 10 mins and told them that we are 11v11 and the colour of your skin does not matter. He said they were not happy with him for saying that. Below is the full transcript of his interview.

Are these attempts by the Bulgarian FA to appease UEFA and get a lighter sentence as I’ve not read about any kind of programme such as kick it out being brought to the fore, nor have we read about any punishment to the fans concerned. I know 6 have been arrested, but the problem was greater than that.

Therefore is this tokenism gestures?
