With a collection of experts in their field, we take a close look at what happened in Sofia on Monday night, as Bulgarian fans racially abused black English players and the 10-year-old Uefa protocol for dealing with racist incidents was partly followed for the very first time.
We hear from Barney Ronay, who was covering the game, Kevin Miles who was in the stands with the away fans in his capacity as chief executive of the Football Supporters’ Association and from Troy Townsend of Kick It Out, Elliot Ross of the Correspondent and Musa Okwonga of the Stadio podcast, all experts in the impact and the history of racism, and all of whom have their own ideas about whether what happened on and off the pitch was a watershed moment, and what the future holds.
