Well, that’s funny because some on here were ok with some of those offences in a football stadium, or said Roma weren’t responsible. I guess by UEFA charging Roma, it simply underlines what complete bollocks certain posters on here were saying last week...

Guilty as charged.

Is it though? I think I know which banner this is referring to. On the basis of being provocative and offensive can you imagine how it must feel if opposition fans displayed banners mocking the Munich tragedy to Man Utd fans, or Hillsborough to Liverpool fans. Closer to home, anyone deciding to insult our fans by showing a banner referring to the Shoreham air crash.

Having said that nothing comes close in abomination than the Ipswich banner being unfurled regarding our financial well being a few seasons ago.

But it did not refer to Munich, Hillsborough or Shoreham, so what was the problem with this banner exactly? Other than some people CHOOSING to be offended in case someone did put a really distasteful message up?
