mate arrested on sunday

[M18CTID]

I wonder why they chose this person out of the thousands that use the term every week.

Out of the many homophobic comments you hear at the football I would have thought calling a Chelsea fan rent boy was on the lower end of the scale.

Exactly. If it was aimed at an openly gay footballer, or a group of people marched on the Gay Village to chant "Rent Boys" then that's another more serious matter altogether but pulling someone up for a phrase that thousands of fans use every week (and thousands were using on Sunday) to describe another set of fans (many of whom will be heterosexual males) is nothing short of ridiculous.

As for picking out this particular person, I wouldn't mind betting that he was an easy target for the plod. It's a tactic that they've employed at many matches down the years.

Really you think the police want to go about arresting people for the fun of it. As stated a complaint was made and if the Chelsea fan pointed him out then they are under obligation to speak to him. I am guessing they would have given him a warning and taken his details. But let that imagination keep running away with you.

Though at least the 17 year old has learned his lesson if he is shouting homophobic remarks there is a chance there is in hatred within him and could escalate into being a racist. So let us take the postives from it. City and the police managed to throw out a Racist Homophobic fan well done to them.

I say ban the c**t.

Personally, I'd sooner they banned you after such a fucking disgraceful post. He called Chelsea fans rent boys - well whoopsie fucking woo. Thousands of fans were doing the same and have been doing so for the past 30 years or so - week in, week out. It's a fucking football match between 2 title rivals, not a game of tiddlywinks. How you can escalate what is no more than a bit of banter to conclude that he is a homophobe and a racist is nothing short of bizarre.

As for your comment that the police would never pick on easy targets at football matches, you're either staggeringly naive or deliberately wumming:

yes the Police do that...i know police..family members..utter c**ts

what they are taught and what you are told is poles apart

getting a "result" is all they want for shits and giggles back in the police canteen

they are wankers

Last season there were 21 arrests for homophobic and indecent chanting. This was across every premier league game played. 21. Suggests the police aren't looking to nick anyone at all. I wasn't in that area and I don't know what went on but it doesn't sound quite right. Young lad having a bit of banter accounts for 5% of all arrests for indecent chanting at all games. City had 71 people arrested last year. 38 games, 71 arrests but plod are busy fitting people up and getting a result? As I said, I wasn't at this arrest but those numbers don't suggest a police force desparately out to arrest anyone.

[nobody can eat fifty eggs]

No "sheep shagger" chants tonight. You will offend the zoophiles out there, you've been warned.

Didn't a coupe of Chelsea fans get nicked after they scored for throwing things into the south stand? Could see it kicking off a bit.

I take it you weren't attending football matches in the 70s and 80s, it happened all the time - especially in the West Midlands.
