Bulgaria fined for £65.000? ‘Bendtner was fined £80.000 for ads on boxer shorts’: Twitter reactions

Football fans and experts can’t understand UEFA’s decision to fine Bulgaria Football Association for £65.000 and ban for two-match behind closed doors (one suspended) after racial abuse towards England national team players during Euro 2020 Qualifiers. Three Lions visited Sofia to play against Bulgaria earlier this month and beat them 6-0. The match itself, however, has been overshadowed by Bulgarian fans, who racially abused Gareth Southgate’s side and showed Nazi salutes.  Here are some twitter reaction on UEFA decision Ian Taylor: "Well I never......Nicholas Bendtner £80,000 fine for advertising on boxer shorts.. Bulgaria £65,000 for racist chanting...... do the maths.... UEFA could be the problem....." Dean Smith: "Reminder that Leeds United got fined £200,000 for having a staff member stood on a public path. Bulgaria have just been fined £64,640 for consistently racially abusing opposition players during a match. Football is on its arse." Jake Humphrey: "Besiktas allowed a cat to wander on the pitch in a game FINE: 30,000 Bulgaria fans made money noises, performed nazi salutes and had their game stopped twice v England FINE: 65,000 Just let that sink in..." Dan Walker: "UEFA’s ‘punishment’ of Bulgaria - 2 games behind closed doors and a €75,000 fine - will only further persuade players that they have to take matters into their own hands to really make a difference"
