Shane Davies, 25, and Daniel Davies, 20, both of Bridge Road, Brough, North Humberside were arrested on Saturday, August 10 following the match at the Amex Stadium in Brighton. Two Rams fans banned from matches for homophobic chants They appeared before magistrates in Brighton and both pleaded guilty to a public order offence. Shane Davies was fined £160 and Daniel Davies received a fine of £87, both were ordered to pay £50 costs and £20 victim surcharge. On Monday, September 2 the pair again appeared at Brighton Magistrates’ Court where they were given three-year football banning orders. The order was applied for jointly by Sussex Police and Derbyshire Constabulary. The pair, who are both season ticket holders at Derby County, cannot attend any matches in this country or abroad. This is the first banning order for a Derby County fan in connection with homophobic abuse. PC Allan Guy, of Derbyshire police, said: “Homophobic abuse won’t be tolerated by Derbyshire Constabulary. "This type of behaviour is unacceptable and using it in a football stadium is no different. “Hopefully this will serve as a reminder to supporters that action will be taken against anyone causing offence by using this type of language.” Read more: http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Rams-fans-banned-matches-homophobic-chants/story-19750932-detail/story.html#ixzz2dy0eC0HD%C2'> Follow us: @DerbyshireNews on Twitter | thisisderbyshirenews on Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I shook my head when I read this, really really annoyed me. This is modern football, how many years until people get banned for not saying 'well played' to the other team - frankly ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 3 year banning order seems harsh. Just fine them and they wont do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Doesn't seem harsh to me - can do without em. about time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 3 year ban for probably singing 'you only sing when you're bumming' or something of that ilk. I find it ridiculous it was even noticed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 3 year banning order seems harsh. Just fine them and they wont do it again. This. A 3 year ban is unnecessarily harsh. Give them a £50 fine and I guarantee they'll never do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perky1106 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 What about when pretty much every week some away fans sing to us "You murder your kids" etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 3 year ban for probably singing 'you only sing when you're bumming' or something of that ilk. I find it ridiculous it was even noticed at all. Based on the thread on the Brighton forum, they think it was something probably over the top and much worse than, 'we can see you holding hands'.

SuperSheep Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I generally follow the rule: "If you haven't got anything nice to say Don't say anything at all" But that really goes Out the window at football matches, as with Quite A few people. But I can see the police side of the story, what's a person being gay got to do with football? Sure when we sing "we all fu***** hate Leeds* its in the heat of the moment and on Topic. What they did was just stupidity. Not sure what the correct fine should be, but their should definitely be one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertRam Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'm assuming it was really bad to warrant this action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannable Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I'd bet my house that "you're gay" is the most used insult in the country. Absolutely ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 This story could only have been made worse if the commenting policeman was Allan Gay. I await my 3 year ban from dcfcfans for the use of such an offensive word. Another great money making scheme from police forces across the country, I think I actually preferred speed cameras.

Srg Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 If you were a Brighton fan and genuinely got upset over the comical chants aimed at them week in week out, I'd be concerned for your well-being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnram Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Just because they happen to be in a football ground what gives them the right to sing any homophobic abuse. They must have known it was wrong and if they didn't, they deserve the banning order for being so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC_17 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 so suarez gets an 8 match ban (2 months) for racism, whilst a homophobic chant gets 3 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Interesting to see what's the next step. Ban everything what can be counted as a abusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdcfc28 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Will all the stand up comedians be banned from work and fined a weeks wages too then, if homophobic remarks aren't allowed? If that's the case Russell Brand should have a life sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Regardless of the length of the ban you know you run the risk of this so why bother, they were all over the news a few months ago calling on the FA to take more action. Just stick to the generic Brighton's a shithole I wanna go home. No sympathy for the guys tbh, and lets also be honest unless you've got no nose and one eye how many clubs will recognise you going into the grounds for the next 3 years?
