Am I supposed to feel sorry about this (or indeed care at all)?
Appeal on the basis that Southampton fans really are f*cking cnuts. Your certain to win
Do you want to be informed of every prosecution for every crime therefore? Go and get a copy of UK Laws 2011 if so. Personally, as a tax paying citizen, I merely expect people to be prosecuted for breaking the law when they're caught doing so. I don't expect to be informed as such of every possible offence and the associated penalties. I just know that the forces of law and order are doing this on by behalf. And that's good enough for me. If I was THAT interested I'd probably be practising law. I don't understand why you think people will care someone's been caught swearing and the law that's in place to deal with such an offense has been exercised?
Dinlow. The bloke is an Albion fan and this is an Albion forum. Him sharing his greivances is not doing you any harm. If your that upset about having to hear about it then go and read another thread.
Disagree. People should know that our taxpayers money is being spent banning people who swear at football matches. It generates healthy debate.
Your taxpayer's money is used quite regularly to deal with people found guilty of similar offences, under the Public Order Act. It happens every day of every week of every year. Read your local paper if you wish to be updated.
For what it's worth, and if you wish for a little guidance on the matter, I would suggest that the C word remains the last taboo in terms of language in this country. It's the only profanity that still has the power to really shock (unless you count little old ladies). Most women, myself included, don't use that term, and plenty of men. You can watch any movie and find any number of shits and fucks, but even NSC blocks out the word ****.
Some of you may not find it unpleasant, but what you have to consider is that a lot of people still do, and that is what any court will take into account. Make of that what you will.
didn't Tanno shout something similar in the same stadium and receive no more than a three match ban?

The word 'minge' still makes me shiver. What a terrible sound. Just saying.
All I'm saying is that I think the cost of taking someone to court for shouting 'f***ing ****' at a football match is a total waste of money. In any other situation the offender would likely get a warning, then if they carried on it would be an £80 penalty notice. All done and dusted there and then.
Harsh perhaps when taken in the context of many others are doing similar. That said, you broke the rules - that's foul and abusive language in anyone's book, the two most extremely offensive words in the dictionary used together (except perhaps CRYSTAL PALACE). And if Dave 1973 in the year of your birth, then really, you should know better. I'm being contentious, but perhaps you ought to feel some sort of shame for being a near 40-something that uses such offensive language in public rather than playing the victim on here? Sorry, but it looks like a fair cop from many people's perspective with only yourself to blame. After all, they don't lock up everyone for everything, only a moron doesn't realise this. And I'm sure you're not one so won't use this as a line of defence.
You could stand in Churchill Square tomorrow and shout that at the top of your voice and nothng would happen. I feel very sorry for you.
****, on the other hand, I hate, and I believe most women are the same. Fanny how a mere word still retains the power to disgust.
Mooey?Tuppence, Noonie, Miffy or any other words people use when talking about such delicate matters with their kids: hilarious.
