It's Only A Game said:
I prefer just about everything City over Utd. I don't know much about ten Hag but I like Pep. Utd's fans are arrogant ****s and the Utd team are full of arseholes.

Thought it was a penalty though.

I found City's fans utterly insufferable at St Marys this season.

United for all of their plastics have a very good away support imo.

Pep is clearly a great manager, but hes had his managerial career handed to him on a silver platter.

I think my biggest problem with City though is that I fear they could turn English club football into a Bundersliga-esque one team nightmare. With United even when they were dominant in the 90's-00's, other teams still had a look in for silverware.

Unsure of the wording of the law in question but suspect it'll be a hard thing to get a conviction on.

Proper scumbag thing to do though. How do you get to the point of having the idea to do that, paying to get it printed, and then putting it on to wear to a cup final without once stopping to realise it's a stupid idea?

Weird ****. Suspect he'll have some issues down the line if he's charged (and therefore named) .

It's a public order offence

Yeah I know mate I but I don't know what the specifics of that law are and what needs to be proven. Might be hard to prove intent but hopefully I'm wrong.

Either way if the Scousers get his identity his life probably won’t be worth living, suspect he will have some serious problems going forward even if he gets off the hook legally.

The defences I've seen for the guy are just as inexcusable too. People trying to say it's a shirt from when Liverpool finished 2nd on 97 points in 2018/19.

I thought the same about using a Public Order Offence which is usually about violence, threats etc in public places. Just looked it up and section 5 covers it as far as I can see. It concerns intimidatory writing in public that's likely to cause offence. After reading that, I think he'll get charged.
Among the thousands of decent people who go to football every week we still have disgusting types like him. People who have no interest in the game see that and we are all lumped together. Most of us aren't violent, racist or halfwits but that's the reputation these morons have built for us.

They’ve charged him, so the CPS must feel there’s enough evidence to get a conviction.

Excellent! Will be delighted to be wrong.

He's ****ed now his name's out in the public domain anyway. Conviction probably last of his worries.

Noticed he was from Warwick too lol so nice and local to Manchester
