Police investigating,   in the report it doesn't state what part of the ground the chanting came from.

Christ, I knew that marching band was a bad idea! 'I Feel Love' on a trombone was always going to be controversial.

From a couple of people in the Watford end I believe. Saw it on The Athletic article. Chanting 'rent boy' towards Tino.

Would be crazy if he was actually a rent boy given the money footballers earn

Pathetic Watford fans not knowing their history! Their own stadium was owned by Benskins Brewery until 2001 when Watford purchased the freehold. They’ve were renting their stadium more recently than Chelsea were!

If someone has reported a hate crime or incident to the police then they are duty bound to investigate.

It doesn't have to be the person who the abuse was aimed at that makes the complaint. If the complainant felt they were harassed or caused distress or harm this could be investigated under the Public Order Act.
