And what can...
the players individually do.
Hi, Liam.
It's Jamie Redknapp.
Good to see you, mate.
I just want to talk to you about, you mentioned UEFA and FIFA, and obviously we've had a lot of thinking time, everybody right now.
And I think back to a game, was it last year, Montenegro, when young players go to represent their country and then get racially abused.
We decided, obviously, to stay on the pitch because we feel by doing that, if we don't race it, racists will win.
I've almost got to the point where that can't happen now.
I think if it happens again or it carries on, I think players now have to take the responsibility and just walk off the pitch and stop people going and thinking that it's OK that they can go and racially abuse people and whatever beliefs that they have.
Right now, it's enough.
And I think that certainly football has to take a stance because...
It's happened for too long.
And I get the young men that it happens to.
Thankfully, there's really strong coaches.
They feel that he can stay on the pitch.
But I feel so uncomfortable about it now.
And I reckon next time it happens, you will see a different situation where players go enough and they just walk off.
What about in terms of, you know, we say about maybe stopping teams and playing behind closed doors.
That doesn't feel like it's enough.
