Homophobic and racist chants are outlawed by ground regulations.

It says it quite clearly. Your fans are clearly f***ing retarded if all this shit has been going on and they still do it, whoever pressed for it. Essentially, they have been arrested for being thick.

i know our fan got arrested for saying the c word.... total joke, there should have been about 50 others arrested cos they all said it too

Can't arrest everyone. Besides some of our players deserved it

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

Eh? It's illegal you twat. It's a hate crime. The police made it clear that they would have zero tolerance on it and a few bigots still weren't smart enough to figure it out.

Re-wind 20 odd years ago when people were starting to get arrested for racial hate and there were fuckwits like you moaning about it all just being banter then. Would you chant racially motivated chants at Bradford? If not, why not? If the police carry on arresting people for bigotry then even neanderthals like you might just be dragged kicking and screaming in to the 21st Century.

Exactly! Nail on head.

Not sure he did. Papers reckon he was cautioned for chucking a bottle.

If it was the bloke who lobbed the bottle after the 2nd or 3rd goal then he did it right in front of me and my mates who, funnily enough, were shouting c*nt at the lino after that crap corner decision in the left hand corner and then the ref for the rest of the game. Seriously, that bloke was well out of order. All he was ever likely to hit was a steward or one of our fans.

I think people on this board need to grow a thicker skin.

Very much this. The morons were singing about Gus being a racist while in the same song being totally homophobic.

I even had a few Saints fans 'friends' of mine on Facebook writing the lyrics on their status's. They really are imbeciles and should be locked up for their own sake.

Not our fault mate. The police said they'd nick people and people got nicked. Not being funny (actually, I lie - it would have been f***ing hilarious) but after that 2nd Mickey Mouse penalty a bit of schadenfreude of watching one of their lot getting nicked for a few nancy boy chants then that would have been just what the doctor ordered.

Seriously, they were warned and it was obvious Hampshire police were up for making an example or two. As Nibble said. They were nicked for being thick as shit.

Really? Then I think our Saints troll can right royally f*** off because your mate was stitched up. That's not even banter, there were 3,000 of us calling everyone c*nts all game. Sorry to hear that about your mate. I really am.

Exactly.

I have never heard of John Hewitt and he doesn't speak for me or the vast majority of Albion fans. Most of us, as stated prev. just think the chants are dull and unimaginative. However, your own fans were reminded before the game that homophobic chanting is illegal and that the Police and stewards would take action. But it's still all our fault eh?

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

It may turn out the homophobic chanting was also in conjunction with obscene gestures which got the two fans nicked.

 

[shwoody1]

they could of nicked loads of them for these offences to be fair it was blatantly going on all day. where we were the old bill and stewards were just not intrested. them two guys must be pretty pissed off.

[daveyboy1973]
