BARNSLEY Football Club has banned a fan for life making offensive comments on the internet following the match against Bradford City on Sunday.
The man wrote racist comments on Facebook about Bradford's Pakistani community and also taunted the Bantams about the 1985 Valley Parade fire in which 56 people died.
"We cannot tolerate that sort of behaviour and appropriate action has been taken," said Ben Mansford, Barnsley's chief executive.
"As a club, we totally condemn those comments."

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
