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.

It's a sad day when a free-born Englishman can't hurl unwarranted abuse at a bunch of Cockneys without getting arrested. You watch, they'll be making it illegal to beat our wives next.

Since when would verbal abuse of Chelsea fans be 'unwarranted' ?

They are usually respectful & undeserving of such ?

What an absolute joke. I see they chose the easy target again, a young lad.

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 ****.

yes the Police do that...i know police..family members..utter cunts

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

 

[Danny Hoekman]

Still not clear on how this can be a homophobic charge. Isn't the definition of a rent boy just a male prostitute?

This mate not the brightest star in the Sky i take it?! There as been enough publicity about singing Homophobic songs at Football, he took a risk and got caught, them are the breaks iam afraid!

if you get arested for that i think the world has gone fu*king mad were northern cu*nts but that is fine .i know attitudes to certain things change but to get a charge sheet for that when you see what else goes on is laughable ,we will have a list next what is aceptable banter & what is not
