Cheshire man sentenced for racist abuse of England players
Supporter convicted of online racial abuse of former Premier League footballer
Such behaviour will not be tolerated in football and will be prosecuted by the CPS. As this is a hate crime, we will apply for a harsher sentence to reflect that.
I would like to thank the witness for bringing Silwoodβs post to the attention of West Bromwich Albion which then reported it to the West Midlands police.
Absolute cuckery. Getting thrown in jail because a fat foid on twitter reported you
Hate crimes such as these have a massive impact on players and their mental health. The CPS takes this kind of offending very seriously and this case shows that where offensive content is reported to the police we can successfully bring offenders to justice.

Probably to stop him going to football matches.

I thought so too, but will he genuinely have to be locked up at home or will they just monitor to make sure he doesn't attend football matches?
Seems kinda crazy if he has to spend the 2 days he has off from work sitting at home, for almost a year.
