I want to say a while back their was (or still is) a service for stuff like this. Maybe I imagined it though

Ironically chelski have had a "text a racist" hotline for quite a few years. Not sure how heavily used it is... but it's there...

Spurs said they are able to "track every fan" using cameras at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and that any supporter found to be guilty of racism will "receive a lifetime ban". ..... that seems frightening!!! big brother? ..........well if there is conclusive evidence ...... then whoever is/are the culprit/s then they should be found out

I don't think it's just football that has racism problems but good on its leadership for fronting this vile behaviour head-on.

Football Association suspend Rochdale groundsman for racial abuse..

At the time of the initial charge Rochdale offered their "full support" to Joshua Haigh
Rochdale head groundsman Joshua Haigh has been suspended for six weeks after being found guilty of racially abusing a member of the media. An independent regulatory commission found Haigh guilty of an "aggravated breach" of Football Association Rule E3. The commission said his behaviour in the incident after February's game against Stockport was "appalling". Haigh, who denied the charge, has the right to appeal against the ruling. The commission stated he must take an FA education course and pay £2,000 towards the commission's costs, while he has also been warned as to his future conduct. His ban runs up to and including 20th November. Haigh and the reporter initially exchanged words when the latter walked across the pitch to the tunnel at Spotland to conduct post-match interviews. Haigh was unhappy that the complainant was doing so, despite the fact others had done the same and there were children playing on the pitch at the time. The groundsman then confronted the reporter for a second time as he looked to leave the ground, and it is then that the abuse is said to have taken place. The commission concluded that Haigh was not a "credible witness" and that "on the balance of probabilities" he was guilty of the offence.

A Critical Analysis of Past & Present Campaigns to Challenge Online Racism in English Professional Football..Published online by Cambridge University Press: 3rd April 2024
Summary - Introduction
Inside Wembley Stadium, the men’s England manager, Gareth Southgate, huddles his players together for a final team talk before the players step up to take their penalty kicks.
First for England is Harry Kane, who scores with a shot that is low and to the goalkeeper’s right. Next is Harry Maguire, who smashes the ball into the top right of the goal.
However, Marcus Rashford hits the post and Jadon Sancho’s and Bukayo Saka’s efforts are saved by Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
It is the final of the UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) European Football Championship (Euro 2020), held in July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and England have been defeated on penalties.
Sadly, the online racist abuse which followed soured what should have been a proud moment for English football, as the national men’s team had reached their first major tournament final since 1966.
After the penalty kicks, in the ensuing moments online, the three young England players who missed theirs were rendered Black and ‘foreign’ above anything else, thereby exposing people’s deeply held views concerning race relations.
Of particular interest here is the fact that a Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) report released in June 2022 highlighted that more than a third of the online abuse during the final came from online accounts based in the United Kingdom (UK).
To offer further context, the abuse mirrored online reactions a decade prior towards Black English players Ashley Cole and Ashley Young, who also missed penalties against Italy during Euro 2012 (Press Association, 2012).
The Euro 2020 case illustrates both the ease with which online racism is expressed and its frequency – it sadly represents yet another chapter in the history of online racism within football.
What is clear is that forms of hate and forms of racism are evolving, with much of this moving online.
Indeed, while racist chants and insults, and even bananas, were once hurled at players inside football stadiums, we can now observe these epithets in multiple digital forms.
Many strategies (past and present) have sought to challenge online racism in football, some being more effective than others.
