The behaviour of supporters singing Roman Abramovich's name at Chelsea matches has been condemned by the government, with Boris Johnson's spoksesperson describing it as 'completely inappropriate'.
Groups of Blues fans have made their sentiments to the Russian owner clear in recent matches, singing his name after Abramovich decided to sell the club, to show their appreciation. A cohort of fans interrupted a show of solidarity with Ukraine ahead of kick-off against Burnley, which was swiftly criticised by Thomas Tuchel.
"It's not the moment to do this," he said at Turf Moor. "Listen, if we show solidarity we show solidarity and we should do it together. We take the knee together and if an important person from our club or another club unfortunately dies, we show a minute of respect.
