Just saw this. I don’t recall this coming up at the time, or did I miss it?

    The obvious question - what was the nature of the offence? I don't recall hearing anything dodgy.

    I struggle with the concept of liability for fan behaviour being held by a club.

    Including “anyone purporting to be its supporters”!

    Why is this only happening now? I know the wheels of justice move slowly but this match was at the start of January and it’s almost June.

    Is this about the anti IRA songs?

    I was surprised to hear them although back in the day Chelsea fans had a special relationship with Rangers and such chants were regularly heard

    Maybe the core of their away support hasn't changed as much as we were led to believe

    So now you can be charged for both supporting a proscribed organisation, and criticising a proscribed organisation?

    Hull City have been charged by the Football Association over discriminatory chanting in their FA Cup defeat by Chelsea in February.

    Yes, but it's not going to be the IRA bit that's the cause of the charge.

    Best that the Covered End stop singing "build a bonfire". 

    The club will get done for supporters inciting violence.

    If the club has not encouraged or incited it's fans to 'Misbehave', 'Charging' the club is ridiculous.
    Those self important jobsworths love their 'Charges'. Wannabe judges or what?
