The BBC has been slammed after a post accusing stopping the boats as being racist was made before being quickly deleted on their live coverage of the England vs Andorra game.
The BBC claimed "a draft post was accidentally published" on the live text page before passing editorial checks.
"It was identified and removed immediately," a BBC spokesman said.
The deleted post was headlined: "No sign of racist post".
The headline was accompanied by text which read: "Thankfully there's no sign of the 'Stop the Boats' flags that were being offered to supporters outside".
"Having a scan round the stadium now, I can't see any," the post added.
Reform Chief Whip Lee Anderson MP slammed the BBC, saying: "The BBC need to stick to the day job rather than trying to stoke up more division."

Defund the BBC Campaign Director Rebecca Ryan said that "ordinary Britons" had the right to stand up against illegal immigration "without being smeared as racists by the BBC".
"Wanting secure borders and fairness for taxpayers has nothing to do with skin colour — it’s about law, order and common sense," she said.
"When the BBC slaps these labels on people, it shows just how out of touch it has become."

Ms Ryan said that viewers are "forced to pay for an organisation" which looked down on them "instead of representing them".
"As the Royal Charter obliges it to do," she added.
"That’s why more and more people are saying: scrap the licence fee and stop funding this bias once and for all.”
Before the post was deleted, it was screenshot and shared online.
One user replied to a post on X, saying: "Stop the boats is considered racist?"
"In what reality? Strange men showing up in boats has never been a good sign in all of history, lol."
One argued that "stop the boats" was a "Government slogan".
"Not some 'far right' tagline," the user added.
"What the f*** are the BBC on about."
During the England Football team's 2-0 victory over Andorra at Villa Park in Birmingham, the Prime Minister was met with abusive chants.
Chants of “Keir Starmer’s a w*****" to the tune of Seven Nations Army by the White Stripes, was heard at the ground.
That came after "Starmer is a c***" was heard by travelling England fans in Barcelona during a June World Cup qualifier.
