Just thought I'd let you all know I've just had this text message from Dave about his court case today.
Please dont forget this was meant for his mates and me and not directed at anyone on here.

"Message to you all I'm 2 gutted 2 speak 2 anyone so bear with me.
I feel so let down and so f***in angry so here goes.
I have been bound over for 2yrs,fined £400,and wait for it Banned from attending all football matches for 3 yrs.
Text if you like thats ok but I'm so gutted, dumbfounded and angry and totally f***ed in the head.
Love you all Dave Sibbo- Everton Dave.
And yes all on the Charge of Saha you useless French lazy [Poor language removed] and Nothing else."

We'll probably read a bit more in the papers but the above text was to me from Dave.

Well I'm gutted for him too - the PC Brigade has got its way and made a mountain out of a molehill.
Bound over ok, Fined ok, but banned for three years - and banning a man that has hardly missed an Everton game -home, away or abroad for 20 odd years - never been spoken to by the Police anywhere has now been banned for 3 years - not just from Goodison but all matches.
Well for those of you that thought he should be banned you've got your way - for me - the whole verdict stinks but why would anyone be surprised.
It makes me ashamed that a true Evertonian should be treated this way.
 

Ridiculous really. Is there any chance of appeal ?

Feel for you mate.....

Thanks mate - just asked Dave if there was an appeal he's said no - he's being made an example of.

I havent spoken to him yet but from his texts he's at rock bottom - totally gutted.
Everton was his life, his main interest in life, all he talked about!!
 
It would be a tough decision whether you would go back again after the ban , after being put through that crap .

Absolute joke , shockin .
 

I'm going to stick my pro-pc head above the parapet and I know I'll get shot down by the anti PC brigade who think its an Englishman's right to call anyone any derogatory name they like. Well, they can't, never could. Its a myth.

That said, the original report did say that the charge was more than Dave calling someone "French", so let's just say, I'd like to read the full report as I must admit to some sceptism about his account. Again, I don't know the full facts, but I have to say, I have to agree with you on the verdict, 3 years seems extremely harsh and worst just feels out of proportion to the offence. I am of course, assuming that this is a first offence.

I can't go for financial reasons and the agony is absolute murder.

I'm really sorry for not seeming to be sympathetic.
 
Assuming that's all he said, its a disgrace.

I know England has a few freedoms that I admire (US 21 yr drinking age...are you kidding me?)

But your lack of freedom of speech has always confused me.
 
The court's effectively decided the word "French" is derogatory. Fair play to them, but if I was French I wouldn't be happy with the decision.

Which ****ing nob at Everton pursued this case?
 
I wonder what Louis Saha had to say about all this.

People at the game must of come forward as witnesses, unless he was standing next to a steward or Saha picked him out of a line up...

Good point.

The police definition of a racial incident is "Any incident percieved by the victim or any other person to be racist

In other words it doesn't matter what Saha thinks as long as abyone else at all doesnt like it. Ridiculous.

Put this into perspective...

The RS fan who spat and punched phil Neville at the anfield derby in 2008 also got a 3 year ban.

So the decision for your mate is shocking in comparison.

Verbal assault treated like physical assault. Doesn't make sense.

Interesting to see the court rooms in Glasgow after the next old firm match. Totally over the top, IMHO. Dont condone any racism, but, in my view, more hurtful to Saha was surely being called "useless" and a "[Poor language removed]". Mad.
 
Are we absolutely positive that this is all he said? I find it hard to believe that he is being so severely punished for calling Saha lazy and French. If so this is a great injustice in my eyes. They pull off some pretty crazy stuff here in the states, but I doubt something like this would hold water in any court here.
 
Genuinely gutted for Dave,its not the club who's to blame here they have to act when incidents of racism are reported.
I blame the sad pc correct muppet who reported him.
The courts have made an example of Dave, dishing out a very harsh punishment.
£400 and a 3 year ban from all football matches.
Honestly how many of us on here have shouted something similar over the years ?
I have and i don't consider myself to be a racist,think yourselves lucky that you where not sat within hearing distance of the clown who reported Dave,or it could be you in his unfortunate position.
