But yes, it was all horrific. Fine them, ban them, set a precedent that you can't get away with this kind of thing. It's EXTREMELY unpleasant and not necessary. Chants have got more OTT in recent years, some are really in bad spirit. Why are these people so angry all the time? That's what I want to know. Why is a 14 year old BOY so angry and judgemental? Or is he just copying his parents/family? Jorial, to be fair the brunt of it was largely homophobic. But yes, it was all horrific.

Sol Campbell handled this with the utmost dignity as an athlete and I adore him! I just don't understand how the Tottenham fans could be heard at all over the Fratton Faithful?! Thankfully this didn't start a riot. Play up Pompey, play up!!!

One of the culprits here is 14 years old. Who are his parents? Are they being monitored for allowing their child to be an extremist moron? Homophobic abuse is unacceptable at any age.

One of the culprits here is 14 years old.

Who are his parents?
