A Middlesbrough fan has just received a 3 year banning order for calling Derby fans sheep shaggers.
The Magistrate said that given the history between the clubs this could have started a riot.

Seems a tad harsh to me but may explain why everyone is silent during games

Do Derby have a history of this?

Seems strange when he could, with some legitimacy, have levelled the same criticim against both Cardiff and Swamsea.

Understandable.

I think, unless you're a sheep shagger yourself you're in no place to tell others how to feel about being called a sheep shagger. For years sheep shaggers have been insulted, ridiculed and made to feel like outsiders. But rulings like this will help us move forward as a society.

Yes, Derby are known as that. I won’t say the word in case a banning order comes my way.

Seriously what an over the top response and what a waste of police and court time.

Brighton factually.....
absolutely stark raving bonkers.

My wife's mother (American) who was friends with someone on the Derby board mentioned I supported Brighton, when they were chatting and he got me four tickets for Albion v Derby.....
In the Derby end..... !!

So I took three friends, on a Tuesday evening we won 2-0 i think, the whole game we were stood at the back and they had an inflatable sheep and were using it like a beach ball, whilst singing Sheep Shag Army.....

I think they sussed we were not Derby fans, by the end, buy were ok, I felt dirty and weird afterwards watching the Albion win in the away end at home.....

I think it’s little more than an allusion to the Derby club badge :shrug:

'Ms Willis said the officer spoke to Briggs during the incident on February 12 and he admitted to having a big of cannabis in his pocket, alongside a grinder.'

Probably didn't help his cause :dunce:

I thought that the “history” was all about Derby taking advantage of the financial irregularities, that they were later given a points deduction, at the expense of Middlesbrough and Wycombe’s League position. I think Boro missed out on a playoff place and Wycombe were relegated as a consequence.

The naughty boy in question probably was doing a bit more than calling Derby fans sheep shaggers. That in itself is a bit rich as Derby are known as the Rams - who else are they going shag if not sheep?

This incident took place in the street so your comment about being silent during games is off beam I’m afraid - unless of course you watched the Albion struggle against Burnley and Villa, then it would have been muffled cursing under one’s breath.
