The walk off . 07:50 - Oct 19 with 1096 views | bwildered | Now away from the full glare of international football, I wonder how many walk off will be triggered by racism in the domestic programme. Heart say none, head says some . | |

The walk off . on 10:12 - Oct 19 with 1084 views | wessex_exile | With virtually every football club at professional, semi-professional or amateur level now including players of non-white origin, I’d like to think the Neanderthals who hold those views have learned to keep that sort of shit to themselves, or f’cked off somewhere else. Sadly, with an ongoing political climate (not just in the UK) that has emboldened the far right, I might be being a bit too optimistic. | |

The walk off . on 18:22 - Oct 19 with 1039 views | Leadbelly | Haringey Borough v Yeovil abandoned following racial abuse aimed at the home ‘keeper. He was also struck by a missile and spat at. Appalling in the extreme but, sadly, I’m not really surprised. | |

I played 3 games for Yeovil in the early 90s - and that was on the ‘huish’ and got terrible stick for not tracking back - but they had some mouthy cider swillers back then ... Definitely a white only stronghold Only 2% black residence - national average is 14% [Post edited 19 Oct 2019 19:24]

Yep, well described. I was a season tktholder at Tiverton when in Somerset and frequently had to move away from vile comments directed at opposition players. Can you believe that I even heard it directed at Viv at Taunton too. As though anyone would be daft enough to cross Viv! | |

The walk off . on 21:13 - Oct 19 with 997 views | wessex_exile | Utterly disgraceful - Yeovil have loads of black players, what can't these vermin see? Whilst I'll sympathise with the club and the vast majority of decent supporters, the FA has to send a strong message out about this - nothing less than kicking them out of the competition, never mind further measures. | |

The walk off . on 22:02 - Oct 19 with 988 views | bwildered | How much can we trust the FA ? Greg Clarke, did sweet FA in Bulgaria and let England play on when all the UEFA protocol was in place, to walk off and stay off, irregardless of the score/result. | |

The walk off . on 15:29 - Oct 29 with 899 views | bwildered | Bulgaria have been fined 75,000 euros / 65k and have to play two games behind closed doors , one suspended for two years has a result of the England match. Money in the UEFA coffers, and one suspended game is NOT the solution. Perhaps walk offs is the only way and TV companies start refusing to pay for full game rights is the only way.

Pathetic as usual. Andy why is one game suspended? Talking of racism...Haringey Borough v Yeovil Town returns for a second instalment this evening. Hope Borough win and their 'keeper plays a blinder! | |
