Ban Them For Life

City as a club do seem to have handled this well - clear statement detailing what action would be taken if the offenders were found guilty. Contrast with Liverpools failure to act against the bus attackers and that moron who through someone in a fountain (amongst other things).
It is a regrettable incident but the powers at the club come out of it with credit.

Only trial by media so far. Many have already found him guilty. I'd like to see the video not just a snap shot that's very suggestive.

Despite the national outcry l think his arrest and the offence were down in the pecking order of stuff the police deal with on weekend nights.

He should br dealt with on accordance with the law and all evidence available. I am sure that if a drunken sailor did the same in a pub in Portsmouth it wouldn't have got a mention even in the local paper let alone nationally or even worldwide with social media.
Its there because its City. An own goal whatever happens to him or the missile throwers and brave fighters who seem to be largely ignored so far. I would hope City have photo evidence or witness statements about them.

Interesting that they do indeed state making racial gestures?

If GMP, after making further enquiries dont meet threshold for CPS to charge or even if they do charge and suspect later found not guilty,

of any racially aggravated crime, would there be a case for the suspect to instigate proceedings against GMP? Particularly if he lost his

job? Just interested as thought police always preceded with alleged etc until at least charged?
 
There's a rather unfortunate twitter post from kirky on twitter doing the rounds highlighting a supposed utd fan spouting off on the metro...

From a criminal point of view unless there are witnesses (people stood near to him who have come forward) it will be hard to prove beyond all reasonable doubt-that said he will be banned, prob lose his job and all respect from his family and mates..made a stick for the club, so he can fuck off.

yeh i think the video dosnt give enough evedence on its own although there is a frozen frame which says a definate yes, it will most likely go to the CPS and be returned not in the public interest, cant see how the club can ban him if he's not prosecuted,that would be like a staement saying guilty without a hearing so i think the clubs hands are tied

What the hell happened to the good natured, self-deprecating, piss taking city fans I grew up with? Fuck all humour or warmth on the stands at the moment, and we are living our wildest dreams. Can't get my head round it.

Hmm. I remember similar incidents in a Derby game with Beckham at a corner. I also remember going away to play Bradford City with Joe Royle's side the season we went down and the least said about that day the better.
