Something has to be done so why not this. What will be interseting will be to see the response if it happens. Would be very difficult for the authorities to punish England for not completing a fixture.
I was thinking, I'd assume it would be a forfeit, so Bulgaria would get the win. Which would surely make their "fans" make racist chants more?
Obviously, the racism issue is the most important thing here, but unless the referee abandons the game, it would count as a forfeit surely?
What about if it’s your own fans ?
What happens after they walk off?

If games are abandoned in that manner, you'll soon see attendances drop.So it would require a lot of the major footballing nations to agree to this together. FIFA/UEFA will soon act if they had a WC not featuring the likes of England, France, Germany, Spain etc because they had forfeited games due to walking off due to racism.

Few people will pay good money to watch a game that they might only see a fraction of.
People will shout racist remarks just to get games abandoned when their team is losing.
The unintended consequences will be dire.
What can FIFA or clubs do? They have no control over the action of individual fans.So it'd make FIFA/UEFA take the issue more seriously. Which is what most people want.
Kick them out of the following 4 year cycle of wc and euros. Soon stop the twats.What can FIFA or clubs do? They have no control over the action of individual fans.
They could ban fans, clubs or associations but that won't stop racism, it will just hurt football.
I wish they would have walked off tonight. Pampered boys v men
Shame Maddison dropped out. Would have been perfect in that game
Apparently he prefers players that have come through the age groups because they know how to play ’the England way’Even if he'd been fit Southgate probably wouldn't pick him, he doesn't seem to rate him as highly as others for some bizarre reason.

Maguire and Keane are at the two worst performing sides in the Premier League this season. Tonight it looked like it. Rice (I still don’t get him at all) and Henderson were dreadful. Too many players didn’t put in a shift. Only Pickford, Sterling, Trippier and Mount come out of that shit show with any credit.Well, if that tonight was the England way, then we've got no chance of winning anything. Its not like they didn't have a warning against Kosovo either.

Yup.Dont think a midfield with Henderson and Rice works at all. It doesn't provide enough creativity. How on earth anyone managed to spend £80 Million on Maguire actually astounds me.
It felt like watching something under Hodgson, when we just didn't know how to break teams down.
They should have walked off the pitch for that performance!
I think there was an arrogance about us that we have all this quality and we can win where we want, this was seeping into the fans too and certainly the case in the U21s in the last tournament.England have been shite for as long as I can remember. Flat track bullies in qualifiers get found out at the first sniff of quality and more importantly physicality. Embarrassing at 50/50’s and expect the ball to be just given to them as per what they get from the talented foreigners at their clubs. Czechs bullies us all night they must have laughed their socks off when our sub came on in tights
Agree with this. Southgate has been very lucky with the way the games fell in the World Cup.England have been shite for as long as I can remember. Flat track bullies in qualifiers get found out at the first sniff of quality and more importantly physicality.
Switched over to gogglebox just after the hour mark. Checked the result later and didn't bat an eyelid.I wish they would have walked off tonight. Pampered boys v men
