• Fan accused of racially aggravated public order offence
• Man arrested after complaint during United v Stoke match
A Manchester United fan has been charged for shouting racist abuse at opposition players during a Premier League football match.
Howard Hobson, 57, is accused of a racially aggravated public order offence and using threatening words or behaviour to cause harassment, alarm or distress.
Hobson, of Weaver Walk, Openshaw, Manchester, was arrested at the Manchester United v Stoke City game on Tuesday.
During the match a spectator made a complaint to stewards that a fan in the north stand was shouting abusive comments towards Stoke City players. Police were informed and Hobson was arrested.
He is due to appear at Trafford magistrates court on Wednesday.

Seems to be older generation of fans who are being the racists cunts at match's. The fella at our game v United at the weekend was in his late 50s. Disgusting example to be setting the younger supporters.

Good observation. I guess it was more acceptable when they were younger, so they are more likely to resort to it in these days as well. Guess we can be proud of the fact that youngsters don't seem to be involved with these kind of stories

I think it's more pleasing that someone actually grassed him up.

I'm glad someone told the stewards. Maybe this will be the start of fans reporting racist abuse from other fans.

If he is guilty, I hope he is banned for life. Hopefully Ferguson will not come out in a shirt with his face on it and his name on the back.

You wouldn't have posted this thread though, would you, RR? If you had stumbled across this article and no-one had posted it, you would've let it die in the shadows. However, if it was about Liverpool, it would have been posted as soon as it was published, but none other than yourself.
