I can only concur with what has been said - utter disgrace and as for their manager not hearing then he is a coward and lacked basic human decency in his inaction; it was there to see plain and simple. As for Greg Clarke, he was nicely summoned up by Wrighty.
We might have issues at home but this was about something bigger and hopefully the start of a sea change towards this type of behaviour be it at home or at away, in the league or international or at any ground.

Monkey chants are made by idiots who are closer to being like monkeys themselves.
And that's an insult to the poor innocent monkey.
Maybe it's just me.........but i have a feeling the racist chanting we saw yesterday would not have happened if the media pre-match didn't make a big song and dance about 'what if' the chanting happens in the game what will you do and making a big deal in asking the Bulgaria coach (neanderthal btw) about it. I feel like the press making a big deal out of it pre-match signaled to the Bulgaria fans that this will really upset our players if they do it.
Let's see what UEFA does, I won't hold my breath.
Part of the ground was closed last night due to it happening in 2 earlier group games they had there.
So for me the press mentioning it had nothing to do with it.The only ones that can do anything about it is UEFA and they havent got the balls to make an example of any country.
You could bet your life though if this was happening to this extent at home England games we would already be thrown out.
That is the only punishment,throw the country out of competition,make their respective FA take action as well,they will soon act if thrown out as the financial punishment from that would hit them hard.A measly 5 grand fine that has happened as a result in the past is an absolute disgrace.
The world is watching this time though so punishment needs to be severe,and the punishment given this time needs to be the benchmark for the future.
Just the kind of behavior I'd expect from a country who in WW2 somehow managed to be on both sides and neutral all in the one war.
