It's not all roast chestnuts and pints of Spitfire..

That's so true. I think there's just less press attention given to it. Not sure why, maybe it's because football, arguably, is the more popular sport?

Is it just me or is this kind of racial abuse most prone to Southern Euro nations and Easter Europe. Remember Lewis Hamiltion and the Spanish fans who dressed up in Blackface . In general, it seems like as one moves away from North Western Europe towards the East and South , the less tolerant people become and the MidEast is a good example of this.

Can we expect anything more from a plebian sport whose supporters will often trade blows with people wearing different club shirts?
