Wycombe defender Forino, 23, was engaged in a long discussion with both sets of managers and the officials towards the end of the first half after reporting being targeted by a discriminatory remark from the stands.

Forino played the full 90 minutes as Wycombe held out for a clean sheet which dented Blackpool바카라�s League One play-off hopes.

Bloomfield said: 바카라�There was something said to Chris, racial abuse from behind the goal. It바카라�s so disappointing because the game is for all, and it바카라�s 2024.

바카라�Fair play to Chris, he바카라�s dealt with it in a mature way by reporting it as he should. He was able to clear his mind and play the rest of the game.

바카라�It바카라�s abhorrent in my mind that we live in a society where people think this behaviour is acceptable.

바카라�I hope the authorities take the relevant action, and I바카라�m sure they will.바카라�

Blackpool boss Neil Critchley echoed those sentiments after his club released a statement communicating their 바카라�dismay바카라�, while adding that they will 바카라�will work with Wycombe to help identify the individual responsible바카라�.

Critchley said: 바카라�It바카라�s unacceptable. It바카라�s not something we want at this football club and in society. It바카라�s a police investigation, and we will support the player and Wycombe to try and identify the person who has made the remark.바카라�

It was a damaging day for the Seasiders on the pitch too, who after failing to score in four of their last five games, have seen their play-off hopes fade.

After dropping to ninth in the League One table and sitting six points adrift of the top six with five games to go, Pool바카라�s fate is now firmly out of their hands.

바카라�It바카라�s frustrating, we didn바카라�t play well enough,바카라� said Critchley.

바카라�Not enough players played to the level they should. It was deja vu, and goalscoring has become a problem for us.

바카라�At one end, we바카라�ve been hard to score against. But we바카라�ve had problems scoring goals.

바카라�We were too tentative and didn바카라�t play on the front foot enough. We didn바카라�t build any momentum until the end.바카라�

Meanwhile, Chairboys boss Bloomfield was proud of the character shown by his injury-hit Wycombe side in their final outing before the EFL Trophy final against Peterborough at Wembley on Sunday.

바카라�There바카라�s a fantastic team spirit among us,바카라� said Bloomfield. 바카라�I wanted to freshen up because I wanted to give a few players a chance who deserve it. We바카라�ve had some real good competition for places, and I feel like that바카라�s helped us with our league form.

바카라�We didn바카라�t have any injuries, and I wanted to have headaches going into this week at Wembley and everyone who has played here has given me those headaches.바카라�
