I noticed on one of the highlight videos it shows sadiki mimicking what he did. Which foes against that boro bloke who was trying to say he only said something about his beard

I was under the impression it was a gesture rather than words as I noticed sadiki doing that as well. I was fairly confident this fella would get caught as a gesture rather than spoken words surely make it much easier to identify the culprit on camera.
 

Coincidently, I have received a reply to my complaint to the BBC today:

Agreed, jail time and make an example that others will think twice about the repercussions before they partake next time.

While I think this lad deserves everything he gets including a nice long stadium ban I don’t think jail time is right for an offence like this. If he has a job there is chances he’s gonna lose it, a banning order and season ticket removed. I’m not sure a jail term is right for this considering what goes without a jail term these days not sure a racist gesture at a football game warrants a jail term.

Calling for a jail sentence only to set a precedent for the future.

Not wishing to get involved in politics but there have been people convicted and jailed for posting bollocks on Facebook, which is the lesser of two evils imho.

Our justice system is broken mate, you see abuses, people with hundreds of convictions getting suspended sentences or fines etc. while I hate racists and racism having mixed race family myself I’ve seen the hurt it can cause. When child abusers, people physically assaulting others get no jail terms I don’t think a one off gesture however abhorrent I think it is should carrying a custodial sentence.
