Not really enough though.I was only expecting a couple of years to be honest so glad it's more.
This guy is also doing some community service as part of the sentenceThe guy who got caught mocking Bradley Lowry got a 5 year ban plus a 12 week suspended prison sentence. Whilst that was also shameful I'm not sure how that gets a bigger punishment.
Thanks for sharing this. KP comes across very well and agree with every word!This guy is also doing some community service as part of the sentence

And why would you want to do that?Quite easy to find his address and the company he part owns
And why would you want to do that?
No why don’t you tell, you were the one that said it was easy. You want something to happen to him or his family would that be enough for you or would you want even more?You tell me
I'm not sure where you get that silly implication from, I've not shared his address.No why don’t you tell, you were the one that said it was easy. You want something to happen to him or his family would that be enough for you or would you want even more?
I did that too and you're obviously nicer than me as I was going to post it on here, but as you've not, I'll follow your lead.Quite easy to find his address and the company he part owns
The time to move on is when clubs and their supporters get serious about properly punishing this kind of stuff.He's been punished now. Deserves chance to change and learn from his mistake. Time to move on

5 years is a hefty amount of time id say. Imagine he was drunk and is embarrassed. It may well never happen again. Sometimes got to give people a second chance to right wrongs in their life once exposed to themselves or others.The time to move on is when clubs and their supporters get serious about properly punishing this kind of stuff.
I see nothing to stop SWFC from banning this guy for life, and I’ll be extremely disappointed if they don’t.
i think it's about right. it needs to be taken seriously.5 years is a hefty amount of time id say. Imagine he was drunk and is embarrassed. It may well never happen again. Sometimes got to give people a second chance to right wrongs in their life once exposed to themselves or others.
In real life perhaps, but on Sky Blues Talk we can go back 20 years to prove rights and wrongs.5 years is a hefty amount of time id say. Imagine he was drunk and is embarrassed. It may well never happen again. Sometimes got to give people a second chance to right wrongs in their life once exposed to themselves or others.
The City fan whose only crime was to be assaulted by several police officers at the Derby home game in 2011 was banned for three years - it’s hardly a stiff punishment.5 years is a hefty amount of time id say.

They should be if no longer racist though right?The City fan whose only crime was to be assaulted by several police officers at the Derby home game in 2011 was banned for three years - it’s hardly a stiff punishment.
I’m sure he had his excuses when sitting in the dock, but actions have consequences. Let him try and watch football elsewhere five years from now - racists shouldn’t be welcome.
In his victim personal statement to the court, Mr Palmer said: “I am absolutely disgusted by the racist gestures directed towards me. The gesture displayed was from a football supporter who had paid money to attend a game, however has felt it appropriate to hurl racist abuse towards me. This is something I can’t understand or get my head around.
“The abuse directed towards me was completely uncalled for, unprovoked and unacceptable. As a professional football player, supporters pay good money and are entitled to have opinions about my performance on the pitch, whether that is good or bad, this is something most footballers accept.
“What I will never accept is gestures of a racist nature that are directed towards me or anyone else. This is disgusting behaviour and is done for one purpose which is to try and degrade me in front of people inside the ground watching and also people who are watching on TV all around the world.
“I have no doubt if this person saw me or any other black person in the street he would be like any other supporter and would want a picture or an autograph. Sadly, the gestures made by the male towards me have shown a complete and utter lack of respect towards me, Coventry City FC, Sheffield Wednesday FC, and more importantly my family and friends who have had to endure this nightmare with me.
“This male needs to understand the consequences of his behaviour, he needs to understand how he has made me feel and how this has had an impact on my life, my family and my career. We are now in 2024 and incidents like this should not be happening.”
I think someone like this has an awfully big hill to climb, and even if he managed it, such is the nature of punishments that sometimes you will pay the cost for doing something you later regret.They should be if no longer racist though right?
Business gone down the drain?Looks to own a drainage company in Sheffield according to company house, don’t think that will be good for business!
