Colin Kazim-Richards will appear in court today

[LamieRobertson]

No I really don't. I doubt they would even arrest you.

Whole thing is a total waste of court time and taxpayers money.

Personally i'm glad its going this far ..so i don't think its a waste of my money

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Yes it is. If you made a wanker sign with police watching don't you think you'd go to court?

I assume you are being serious.

So No. I do not think I would go to court. I think that would be a massive waste of public funds.

 

[Rugrat]

With the public coffers being in such a mess and spending on vital services being cut all over the place it's nice to see that we can still find the money to chase down these people that cause such misery in our society!

I'm sure the 'x' hours of community service or trivial fine will justify such extreme measures!!!

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

He made a similar gesture when we played at Ewood. I would have been outraged but I was too busy at the time calling him a fat wanker, amongst other things.

I do however have a sensitive side

This is how it is.

Can you explain why please because I don't get it. Equally can you explain why that Leeds player didn't go to court for the gestures he made. Personally I was just happy to see him sent off, never occurred to me for a minute that he would be in trouble with the police.

Same with CKR, would have liked the FA to do something, but a three day court appearance, where in all liklihood he will get fined and told not to do it again. Ridiculous waste of money.

A deep, dark, damp dungeon and a throwaway-able key I think.

Perhaps you should ask the CPS etc why the leeds player wasn't sent to court..i don't make the decisions

Agree entirely. Complete waste of money. OUR money as taxpayers. With the country's finances still in a mess how can this kind of profilgacy be justified. In fact, even if the country's finances were in the best shape ever, it would still be a waste of taxpayers money. How can it possibly be justified?

 

[Easy 10]

Oh well, if they're not aware of it, it can't be true. That, or the case must have fallen into an existential bubble.

Or as Sky would call it: "Not the Premier League".

Because Liz Costa didn't go to a steward being outraged?

 

[Husty]

Because Liz Costa didn't go to a steward being outraged?

She screamed for a policeman though!

She screamed for a policeman though!

Possibly the funniest quote I have ever heard. Comedy gold that woman sometimes.

The full report:

Fans got into the celebratory mood for the final away game of the season to Leeds, with some adopting a Spanish theme while others donned Village People outfits as a response to the homophobic abuse the fans have endured this season.

The game against Leeds United on Saturday saw home striker El Hadji Diouf dismissed for an offensive gesture at Albion fans seconds after scoring an equaliser from the penalty spot.

Fans said they believed a quick response to the incident by West Yorkshire Police and match officials was as a result of the supporters club’s report into the level of abuse they suffer, published earlier this month.

Liz Costa, vice chairwoman of Brighton and Hove Albion Supporters’ Club, said: “It happened right in front of us and I screamed for a policeman who told me it had already been reported.

“Thank God we had a linesman who knew what he was doing and reacted quickly.

“I think the response was linked to our report.

“Our football liaison officer went to meet their police in the club’s control room and all of their officers were reading our report so clearly it is making a difference.”

Comedy gold.

Thanks, I went looking for that but couldn't find it with a quick search.

And it's that precise quote I cannot take her seriously anymore

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

No he won't - it was postponed yesterday. New date to be arranged.

Venue waterlogged

Although I am not too bothered by CKRs actions, I struggle to understand the points of view of those opposed to the court case.

Peoples views on racism have altered dramatically over the years, thanks largely to 'education'...AND to some extent, backed up by severe sentences handed out by the courts.

Do the same people who view CKRs court case as a 'waste', also share the view that gay footballers (active) should remain in their 'closets'...?

It's possibly because in some case, they weren't offended, they don't necessarily appreciate that others might be.
