    I would like to think you can see the point very clearly, but I am not going any further with this.

    Chelsea are supposed to be looking to borrow £500 million for the next transfer window.

    I’m not losing any sleep over his punishment, but there perhaps is a question on where the line is drawn that’s all (presumably there is case law, unless this is now a precedent?) because there’s a lot of art for example deliberately designed to offend or cause people to be uncomfortable at the very least.
    He’s clearly a ****, although it would have been interesting how the case would have played out if he’d pleaded not guilty.

    Why would a blunts supporter have a photograph of the lad on his phone? Premeditated or spur of the moment?

    The Football Supporters Act, I once thought, was all encompassing. That is, you were on your way to, at, or travelling home from a game of football. Guilty. End of.
    I was wrong. But then again, I don't think the law makers thought to include lack of decency as a punishable offence. Hence what he has been charged with.

    Hey ho, daft lad. Address published, sacked, and a likelihood of a few weeks at Her Majesty's Pleasure. Bravo.

    I think the delay in sentencing is to put feelers out about any precedent that may be set. The unsavoury chants regarding club's disasters maybe? Or any existing authorities that would cover this.

    There's been a fair few fans of various clubs charged with 'tragedy chanting', so there should be some reasonable precedent for this sort of thing already.

    Two nearest football grounds in England. I guess a clue is that Stamford Bridge is on Fulham Broadway...Took me about 25 mins to walk between the two.

    FC Massive Knobhead, but I wouldn't tar all Wednesdayites with the same brush. Like Forest fans and the fat, drunk thicko who headbutted Billy Sharp. Banned for life, no doubt....

    You sure?
    Liverpool v Everton
    Spurs v Gooners

    they are closer than 25 min.

    But you are correct that Chelsea FC are actually in Fulham

    Have County or Forest moved?

    The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

    Thats a good shout, but Chelsea and Fulham are still nearer.

    edit....correction.....Your right. Its Notts County and Forest....Always thought it was Fulham and Chelsea. I'm wrong.
    Goodison and Anfield is 2nd closest.
    Then Craven Cottage and Stamford Bridge.

    Closest in the UK its the two Dundee clubs..

    CLOSEST IN LONDON not England...Dooahhh

    I would suggest the very singular "daft lad" in my comment on an individual's actions dispels any tar brushing.

    To be honest, I didn't suggest you had. The statement to not 'tarring other fans' was my own conclusion..

    My personal take on this is I was a parent of the little lad I wouldn’t give a **** if he boiled in oil. He is a perfect example of the lack of moral values which is falling quickly even more so due to keyboard warriors. **** him he’s a ****.

    Ye I see what you're saying, but unfortunately, some murders take 3 weeks to solve, others take 3 months, dependent on who is prepared to give up the name of the guilty and how much effort the police make. There's too much unpleasant behaviour, especially blamed on being drunk/high, and the more that is punished, the better.

    On a much less serious note, does anyone else have the CIty match calendar linked into their Google calendar? The entries have all disappeared from my calendar today even though I'm apparently still linked to it. Either City have cancelled the rest of the season after the booing, or there's some weird compuer **** going on.
