Looks like Bulgaria may have been offended first!?
Meanwhile, the English FA has been charged with “insufficient number of travelling stewards” and “disruption of national anthem”.
Any visiting team f’s with my national anthem… I would take offense…

Sticks and stones may break my bones but words (or monkey noises) will never hurt me.
Who are these spineless reactionary crybabies. You made it to professional tier sport and whine about fans.
When I played sports we ignored the fans. The eyes were on the prize. Victory.
