Angry Ginge slams 'f***ing disgrace’ after calling out World Cup fan for racist comment
Angry Ginge has criticised the stewarding at England's match against Ghana, after he confronted another fan for allegedly making racist comments.
The popular streamer - real name Morgan Burtwistle - was in Boston earlier this week to watch the Three Lions held to a 0-0 draw against Ghana at the World Cup.
However, the 24-year-old was put in an uncomfortable position, claiming the fan seated in front of him made racist comments towards the Ghanaian side.
Ginge later uploaded a video of the incident to social media, in which he can be seen bemoaning the stewards' lack of action over the incident.

"We have a situation where the gentleman that is sat there is being racist [points to an empty seat in front of him]," he began in the clip.
"I’ve reported it to the steward because, kick it out is the saying, I will stand by that. So he's going now to get his supervisor, and we'll see what happens.
"There's no way he should ever set foot in a stadium or watch a football game ever again."
A message then appears on screen, explaining: "The man sat in front was making incredibly racist comments toward the Ghanaian national team. Due to this it was only right for me to stand up and deal with this."
The video then cuts back to a conversation between Ginge and the fan in question, with the man - whose face has been blurred - saying: "I'm sorry about my comment about Ghana, it won't happen again... Can we just forget about it?" to which Ginge replies: "Forget about you being racist!? No, mate."
Later in the evening, Ginge claims that the man was not ultimately kicked out of the stadium, but was instead moved from his seat.
Criticising the stewards at the match for what he claimed was a poor response, Ginge said: "It's absolutely not good enough from the American stewards, the message before the game, the message is kick it out - if you see it, say it.
“I've gone and reported it, he's not been kicked out of the stadium. We saw him as we left. He's been allowed to watch the whole game after the things he was saying about the Ghana team."
He continued: "I think it's an absolute f***ing disgrace he's been allowed to stay in after I had the evidence and five witnesses heard him say it.
"I just think it's wrong on every level."
According to the FIFA code of conduct, fans attending matches are prohibited from behaving in a manner which intimidates or harasses other spectators, players or officials.
