Didn't they (Derby) ban a fan for life recently who sent a tweet to Sheff U striker Billy Sharp mocking him because his baby died? Sure they did so i'd welcome a life ban for this tool as well.

Ollie is proving that he's pure quality. Hope he gets the chance to play at the highest level.

If he had a shot at a top 4 team, I'd like to see him join Tottenham. He'd be given more of an opportunity there and they've been pretty succesful at bringing through young british talent.

Happy to see it being dealt with with a strong sentence. Hopefully this will put off the next idiot who does this. Although i'm not saying these people are ten a penny at other clubs, it reminds me of the pride I felt when a city 'supporter' shouted a racial insult at a (wycombe?) player a few years back on the bank and was roundly admonished by other fans, and quickly escorted out and later prosecuted. The strongest example that can be set for young supporters is when it becomes clear to all that the masses will not accept such behaviour.
