I totally agree with you it was the legal point I was getting at. As far as I understand it, almost any name can get you charged if used in a derogatory way but I just wonder Why Huns is not then a chargeable offence when it is used in a derogatory manner. calling someone a paedophile is not against the law in any other situation except when it is connected to football. Surely that means Brown you are a poof\wanker\dick etc all now have become chargeable offences as I see it. The referee is Illegitimate? All not nice words but if everyone gets arrested for using them the jails will soon be bulging at the seams.
