Hi Gecko,
Franco was dictator from 19936 - 1975, he banned regional languages, regional cultures, he killed lots and lots and lots of republicans and liberals, hundreds of people had to run away and the only good thing he did was to skip from 2ond world war.
It's the darkes side of our recent history
Premiership / UK not so squeeky clean...

The person/(people? it cant be more than a handful) are now under full police investigation. When found, they will automatically be banned from ALL UK and Ireland football grounds for 10 years or maybe even life (cant remember which). If charged, they will be arrested under the crime inciting racial hatred, and could face a heavy fine, or even a custodial sentance.
In Spain, the noises were coming from (people, but not the whole crowd, obviously) from ALL corners of the stadium, and only after insistance from FIFA did the Spanish FA give a muted apology.
To compare the two instances is absurd. This country has been excellent in it's efforts to eliminate racism from not only the terraces, but society as a whole. As in the Dwight Yorke case, you will find it is very very much the exception rather than the rule.
X-amount,
I really apreciate your inputs about the English Clubs, but don't take for sure things you don't know:
- at least at Barça's, any radical or racist supporter is banned for life,, no five or ten years
- the only supporters who have to show their identity card are the ones in the radical area and the radical supporters, most of them totally identified.
- At Barça - Madrid game, considered the most risky one in the whole spanish league there were NON radical supporters, altho they would love be there.
And of course those actions are not new from last week
I would really apreciate if in furthers ocasions you inform you a bit cos you are being very partial in your comments.

Sil the facts are the facts!
The spanish FA were very reluctant to give an apology.
Any racist chanter in any UK fooball arena is likely to get a battering upon the first monkey noise being made.
The Dwight Yorke case was not obvious mass racism.
The Spain case was mass racism.
X-amount has only said what has been reported in the UK press.
