Utter joke.

 

I hope the club make an example out of this "fan" and ban him for life, how on earth does he thinking abusing Pearson and the players is going to help, and credit to Pearson.............

 

I mean that Touchline ban will really affect him.... ****ing idiots 

[Callabinho]

Has he really? Well I hope the fan is banned for life. We don't need that in our stadium.

[jamesmilner]

he sits in the stand so wont change much !!

[Brooksy]

What the fvck 

[ozleicester]

Umm its pretty evident he was abusive toward a (fvckwit) spectator. The investigation is pretty straightforward. Its just what the punishment will be... 3 weeks out of the stands?

[mowmacrefox]

Does anybody know who the so called fan is. Why should he/her get away with it.

[filbertway]

Punishment - "Nige, you've got to sit in the dugout for the next 3 games."

[Guest MattP]

Unbelievable.

The 'fan' needs a seriously good kicking if he has the nerve to show up again.

[Basingstoke Fox]

A lifetime ban would be over the top for this 'fan'. But I really wouldn't mind seeing it happen. He's supposed to be supporting Leicester City, regardless of what he thinks of the manager and he's set there verbally abusing OUR manager during a home game. At a time where we were down to 10 men against Liverpool and giving it a real go. It's beyond stupidity and we don't need someone like that in our stadium.

 

I hope that Pearson will still refuse to apologise for it and I'm sure he will. An admission price shouldn't give people the right to abuse your own manager. Ridiculous.

Are the club actually investigating towards the fan and the abuse they gave to the manager?

Well the most they can do is make him sit in the stands, which he does every week anyway

Stadium bans are a possibility- would be ****ing ridiculous though and would only be because he's sitting in the stands already.

[Fox Ulike]

I really don’t understand why it’s OK for a fan to verbally abuse Pearson, but Pearson’s response draws a charge from the FA. It’s nonsense.

 

Racist abuse towards players and managers is, quite rightly, not tolerated.

 

But why is non-racist abuse acceptable?

 

Had that fan shouted “You black twat” at a black Manager, then the same response from the manager would certainly not have drawn an FA Charge.

[Merging Cultures]

He sits in the stands and swears at fans,

Nigel Pearson, Nigel Pearson

[foz.foz]

just parade the twat around the pitch before a game. let the crowd see his face

[kingfox]

Twat is nothing compared to Fvck off & die, fans shout much worse towards players of all teams & probably don't get a stadium ban, why should this guy get a stadium ban for shouting "twat".

 

I can remember when Megson had endless abuse shouted at him, much worse than twat and he just took it and didn't respond. Pearson should know better.

[Dan]

I'd love to say it's a surprise but it isn't. No doubt the 'fan' gets away with it too.

you people really need to get a ****ing grip, paying customers have the right to voice their opinions. he was bang out of order and unproffesional.

Paying customers do not have the right to be abusive towards members of staff, of which both the manager and players are included.

Paying money doesn't give you the right to behave like a ****ing tool

[MrSpaM]

So if somebody you don't know walks into your workplace and calls you a twat you'd just sit there and say nothing?
