Not quite true. An FBO should not be used as a punishment (that would be dealt with by a fine/prison sentence). The court must make a football banning order where an offender has been convicted of a relevant offence and it is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds to believe that making a banning order would help to prevent violence or disorder (Football Spectators Act 1989, s.14A) The FBO should only be issued if there is a real threat of future disorder. Unfortunately magistrates do not usually follow this guidance and of course plod want as many handed out as possible. Keeps them in their cushy little number I guess. Pitch encroachment as a one off offence with no other history of football related issues and no trouble with the club really shouldn’t equal a banning order but to get that outcome you really need to have proper representation in court. There are a few specialised football lawyers out there who know the correct rules and how to defend them. A bog standard solicitor from London Road probably won’t lead to the correct outcome. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/libertycentral/2010/jun/17/football-hooliganism-laws this is an old but good read about what can go on and still does to this day.

No surprise is it. They'll be handing out banning orders like they're going out of fashion as well no doubt.

Good riddance, his reaction at the end of the game in Prague was enough for me.

Too young, RIP Sibs.

People with thousands of posts on internet forums.

No, only twats out.

Used to live across the road from me in Deacon Rd

Stopped going last year and you very quickly realise that the vast majority of people really dont give a rats arse about football. When you go and you're in and out of pubs, meeting mates and travelling to games it seems football is a big thing but it really isn't.

Because they're ignorant, don't care about anyone but themselves and oh yes complete c...s

Fine should've been much higher.

Why don't you try The Shepherds Crook, I'm sure you'll be made welcome.

Itchen corner is a painful experience

Any of them going to be world beaters

****ing disgusting

Well, seeing as Sky have done all they can to remove any sign of the Virgin logo in their advert for the season starting no surprise really.

Mines arrived, Some of you are going to be very disappointed. No lovely box this year just an envelope with a crappy badge (mine's not even stuck on properly). I'm sure some will be complaining of cost cutting and how the club don't value us!!

The bloke is a complete ****. Score early and on top. Watford come back into it mid first half. Good team talk at half time and we come out well on top (unusual for us) play well, Hojberg unlucky then WTF. Boufal off and play 5 at the back and invite pressure. why not say to his new signing I wanted you, I know what you can do get on there and show everyone else. Go and bag a goal.

Stay in the pub longer?

and to call your fellow fans knob heads makes you a ****.
