Ndombele highlights v Newcastle: I certainly didn't expect to see one of these any time soon, after his start to the season.
That Nazi-Geordie has now been fined and will be banned: https://news.sky.com/story/newcastl...smKf5NWT4Kmo22Ad-HAuDA_8WFn7_9NEj-P56WjTiYEls Had a bit of a cry when he was caught, too. Probably did some more after the reverse fixture.
1.A key tenet of a penal regime worthy of the name is that there must be a notion of rehabilitation once the punishment has ended. 2, If the guy is a devout attendee of home games (his is the Toon after all) , then 3 years out may well be a case of "act in haste, repent at leisure" .
He (a 24yr old former soldier) initially received only a £200 fine for this aggravated PO offence. Yes, he pleaded guilty, but that in itself was at the low end. Regardless of his level of fanaticism for the Toon in particular or football in general, the Banning Order should have been for a minimum of 5 years, arguably longer. There is little or deterrent effect from only 3 years. My opinion.
Does it actually matter? If he wants to make himself look like a tosser good luck to him. Doesn't offend me.
Spurs rightly gave a lifetime ban to that twat who threw a banana at Aubameyang. I guess that the Saudi's are extremely unlikely to follow suit here...
The old theory, however insensitive or incorrect, was that somebody like this was useful in demonstrating to the public what a complete twat looks like.
Giving a nazi salute is simply unacceptable. If football wishes to be against hate (racism, misogyny, homophobia, hate towards disabled people etc.) then it must take these things seriously. This ****er didn't do it to other clubs...he did it cos we are seen by one as a "jewish" club and for me it is the equivalent of calling a black person the N word or an Asian person the P word. There is a world of difference between being a tosser and a racist hateful **** imho. I have no idea how anyone thinks using a Hitler salute is OK in this day and age. ****ers grandparents or great grandparents probably made sacrifices fighting Hitlers nazis ffs Not ranting at you btw!
