If that's all he said then 3 years seems a bit harsh to me, though it's likely he did say more and seems like a bit of a knob.

Saying all the above, what sort of **** wears a football shirt to court? <doh>

Even if that was all he said, it was enough. There are no degrees of homophobia, you’re either homophobic in your behaviour or you’re not. To me that’s no different to shouting a direct homophobic term.

I agree it needs to be stamped out I just think 3 years is quite harsh. A poster on the Brighton forum suggested that these offences should carry a smaller ban and attendance to a group of people who have suffered bullying/abuse so they can see the impact it can have on people.

I think that's a great idea personally and would be more productive. Second offence then slap a 5yr+ ban on them.
 
I feel sure he said worse than they've published, but there are degrees to everything. I don't agree that everything is at the same level. No one considered that chant commonly aimed at Brighton as anything but a joke until a few years ago. So now people are taking offence it is reasonable to stop doing it, but to say that everyone who sung it previously is homophobic is wrong. However, I'm sure that was the least offensive thing he said.

I expect you're probably right and it's a case of they can't print other stuff they said.
