Been loads charged with chanting Murderers at Anfield this season and last season. It happened to my mate last season. It’s fucking mental that reminding them of what they did at Heysel can end up getting you a 3 year FBO. In the past FBOs used to be reserved for those involved in organised football violence but now they’re dishing them out for everything.Look no further than the lad charged at Anfield recently, absolute disgrace.
Luckily my mate escaped getting a FBO as they tried adding bits on to his case that weren’t true - such as being aggressive to a steward after being lifted despite having no video evidence of that. And knowing what he’s like, he isn’t the kind of person who would be aggressive to anyone. He paid a lot of money for a decent lawyer and she drove a coach and horses through a lot of the prosecution case, but ultimately he admitted to the Murderers chant as they had it on video. Despite not getting a FBO though, City have still banned him for 3 years. It might come as a surprise to some but in City’s supporter charter the minimum ban for “tragedy chanting” is 3 years, whereas the minimum ban for scrapping in the stadium or throwing flares onto the pitch is 1 year.
