    Well done Paul Furlong and his team. Who said fascism died with Franco? Proud of our youngsters too.

    Outrageous that we - or any other club - has to resort to this in 2019

    Well done for taking a robust stance

    It’s a shame this behaviour still goes on but I’m proud of everyone involved for their actions.

    Spain is full of those with real fascist sympathies, that have been passed on from older generations......proud of our team for taking a stand.

    A lot of European countries seem way behind us in terms of respectful behaviour to all.

    And therein lies the problem, as Beth said, we'll probably get a bigger sanction for walking off than the home club whose fans instigated it. Don't hold your breath for support from the Spanish FA or UEFA...

    I think that the big difference this time and other matches is that it was the opposition players rather than from the crowd. If this is the case then UEFA should throw the book at the Spanish club.

    Well done to all at the club. I think the footballing authorities pay little more than lip service to the idea of stamping out racism.

    There are too many citizens who can take the moral high ground on racism, based on words and actions or their own. Standing up to racism is to be applauded but it isn't just an affliction of those outside these shores. Think about this as you read jokes posted on the board...or when you sing an obscenity at HQ....or sit near a solo artist in the loft.

    I can honestly state that I've never heard any racist abuse emanating from the SAR area that I sit in

    Or from our fans at any away match I've been to

    Doesn't of course mean that there hasn't been any, just that I haven't heard it

    But given that I attend virtually every game each season I'm sure I would've heard something somewhere if there was genuinely a problem at our club

    The point I was trying to make is that racism is not just a foreign state of mind. Read this in reference to outrage on the board to that article on the u18 walk off.i.e. some suggest this does happen at English stadiums and indeed at LR. There have been a number of well broadcast incidents in involving football fans in the last year at london stadiums or during travelling to or from matches.... although these were related to Arsenal, Fulham, Chelsea. I have certainly heard various comments directed at players with a racial undertone at LR, admittedly it is rare and usually isolated to individuals. At the Villa home match the noisy lot in the corner were slagging off a villa player going over for a throw or corner. Not sure what was said. A child seated beside my daughter and myself asked her guardian why were they singing that....his reply was it is because he is Irish. Just an example as my daughter picked up on this too...and that was her first visit. Also if you read through the jokes admittedly one of the best threads, there is a popular tone from some posters. I just try to provide balance, grass may sometimes be plastic or 4G but not always greener on home turf. Not meant to offend...honest.
