       It's not like Ivan Bebek lost control on the pitch or conducted
       himself in an inappropriate manner either.  We have seen
       situations before where a referee has been too inexperienced or
       out of his depth & this was not one of them. He showed by his
       handling of the game that he was more than up to the task and
       his dealing with the complaints of abuse was exemplary. The
       comments are in very poor taste and I agree very disappointing.
       Clive Tyldesley should know better.

       This article confirms it:
  HTML https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/11838641/bulgaria-head-coach-krasimir-balakov-resigns-with-bulgarian-football-union-president-and-executive-committee
       A quote: There is now a huge void in the governance of Bulgarian
       football - with no national manager, no president of the
       football association, and no executive committee in position to
       run the domestic or international game.
       Arrests are up to 16 now, which is one positive step, hopefully
       they will all be banned from football for life at the very least
       along with being given criminal records, if they don't already
       have them.
       UEFA have to do more than the paulty fine & a couple of games
       behind closed doors as that 'punishment' clearly is not working.

       A game abandoned in the FA Cup today because of racism...
       My point isn't to make comparisons regarding the exact extent
       but to suggest that someone shouldn't be appointed to referee a
       game of football because of where they happen to come from and
       societal issues that might have occurred there seems very odd to
       me.

       Absolute joke of a 'sentence' 2 match stadium ban, 1 of which is
       suspended and a paltry fine.
       UEFA soft on racism [emoji35][emoji35]

       Not at all surprised though.  It's  time UEFA realised that the
       only way to stamp this out is to get tough, particularly with
       repeat  offenders like Bulgaria, and expel them from future
       competitions for a significant period.  Fines are quite
       meaningless.

       The only real punishment is the fine and the suspended ban, the
       match that will have an empty stadium was already going to be
       partially empty anyway from a previous similar misdemeanour!
       It should have been as well as, not instead of.
       Absolutely astounding.

       Obviously only closing part of the ground taught them so much
       about how unacceptable their previous similar conduct was, like
       move the ultras into the family section for starters so perhaps
       UEFA could just ban any away teams from playing any non white
       players in Bulgaria, just so they don't upset the poor local
       natives! Why not go the whole hog eh...
       Yep still furious!

       Absolute garbage punishment IMO. It just shows how incompetent
       and clueless the heads of UEFA are at dealing with very very
       serious misdemeanours like the disgusting racist abuse dished
       out to the English players.
       The only sanction that should have been issued was to sling
       Bulgaria out of the competition in disgrace.
