    Pair guilty of Sol Campbell abuse The man and boy had denied shouting offensive chants A man and a boy have been banned from attending football matches for three years for shouting homophobic chants at Portsmouth footballer Sol Campbell. Danny B, 42, of Deanshanger, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and the boy, 14, denied indecent chanting but were convicted by Portsmouth magistrates. The charges related to abuse aimed at Mr Campbell during a match against his ex-club Tottenham Hotspur last year. In a statement, Mr Campbell said he felt "totally victimised and helpless". 'Bad taste' The court statement from the 34-year-old former England defender also said: "I felt absolutely disgusted at this and I didn't react because of my profile and I feared I might make the situation worse and cause problems. "I felt totally victimised and helpless by the abuse I received on this day. "It has had an effect on me personally and I do not want it to continue. I support the police in their action." After a three-hour trial, Georgette Holbrook, chairwoman of the panel, ruled the two defendants had chanted homophobic abuse during the game at Fratton Park on 28 September. Four men pleaded guilty at a previous hearing She said: "We find that the words used were in extremely bad taste; they were inappropriate, shocking and disgusting, and as such they were indecent." The magistrates were shown a DVD of footage recorded by police showing Tottenham fans at the match. Mr Campbell was club captain at Tottenham before leaving to join rivals Arsenal in 2001. Angie Cunningham, defending, said the video footage was examined by a professional lip reader who said the youth, who was 13 at the time, could be seen pointing and shouting homophobic abuse. She added that Trow could only be seen mouthing some of the words, but Portsmouth magistrates ruled he had said the same words as the boy. Miss Cunningham added: "They passionately and whole-heartedly believed their behaviour and language didn't overstep the mark of what is acceptable behaviour and language at a football match." Trow was also fined £500 and ordered to pay £400 costs and £15 to a victim surcharge fund. The 14-year-old was given a conditional discharge for 12 months and ordered to pay £400 costs. Miss Cunningham said both defendants intended to appeal against the conviction. Following the match, Hampshire Police released images of 16 people wanted in connection with the chants. A total of 11 were arrested and four men pleaded guilty to the offence in January and were sentenced to a three-year football banning order and a fine. Legal first Three men have been given police cautions while two 15-year-old boys were given final warnings, according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). While cases of racist chanting have been prosecuted before, this was the first case of indecent chanting to be brought to the courts, the CPS said. Nick Hawkins, Hampshire Chief Crown Prosecutor and CPS national lead on football issues, said: "I am pleased we have secured convictions and admissions of guilt from all 11 people we charged in connection with this unsavoury incident. "The magistrates' decision show ordinary people applying common sense are disgusted with the kind of things that went on at Fratton Park last September and reflect the views of ordinary football fans across England and Wales."
  7. Aye, poor man's version though for me. What would Pedro be worth in today's money? Shearer and Beardsley front line in their prime
  8. Still prefer him to Frank Pingel He hasn't played in one of these, has he? Not a chance I reckon Stroller will be turning out for us in about 10-15 years assuming we've managed to shift him out of the first team by then
  9. Still prefer him to Frank Pingel
  10. That is my opinion. I said on here many moons ago that all I want is: Standing back, to take beer onto the terraces, saturday 3oclocks and one game on a Sunday. You wont remember most of that Tom but football was better back in the day. For once I agree with you
  11. That's why they're the London mackems. Forever living in Arsenal's shadow really does hurt them
  12. JFK might be available if they hang on a bit
  13. I agree that Johnson is a handful but Zamora? I don't think we will have much problem containing him if he does play! I'd be far more concerned about Nevland! Murphy is the key for them we need to keep him quiet. Nicky Butt on Afonso style perhaps The West Ham song about Zamora always made me laugh. When the ball hits the goal it's not Shearer or Cole it's Zamora? Brighton used to sing it when he was there, I remember all the hype he got and predictably he turned out to be utter shite. Something to do with being sat in row Z and the ball hitting you on the head I think
  14. http://tottenhamhotspur.rivals.net/forum/p...3&clubId=81 Trying for the top 4 again next season no doubt
  15. Just watched his build-up play again for Owen's header, different class
  16. Don't let him train until the season is over
  17. If Shearer gets assurances and stays on I hope he gets it all in a watertight contract along with many witnesses
  18. [berb]Hoy some superglue on him before he goes on and he'll be ok[/berb] *sets tone for the comedy night*
  19. That's what I'm hoping for
  20. Youve got a short memory I have?? Every time we've taken a corner of late it's never beaten 1st man. He takes one and Taylor scores. Admittedly I think it was a case of their shite defending rather than any real improvement from us. Every corner he took in his last game for us hit the first man, as did every free kick he took. And the last game he played was??? tbh you may have a point for a particular game, but as it's you I know this is more a chance to try to defeat my argument for the hell of it. Regardless, Guthrie's delivery last night was a damned sight better that we've seen of late - that's indisputable! If he does the business one game out of every two, that'll do me
  21. Special mention to my next door neighbour who staggered home at daft o'clock and let rip with a rousing rendition of 'na na na na na na na, na na na na geordies' on his doorstep. Good work sir

  23. And O'Brien. I know it's hindsight but spending 10m on a replacement who so far has looked inferior was madness. Same story as elbowing Sir Bob for Souness Fair enough like. And despite the praise being lavished on Taylor, you'd have to say Bramble is still a better centre-half. Agree entirely.
