Pair guilty of Sol Campbell abuse
Yes - I know : who the fuck is Sol Campbell unless by chance you're into English football or soccer as you call it.

I've posted this for you to see exactly how far our laws are taken with regard to homophobic remarks etc.

A man and a boy have been found guilty of shouting "shocking and disgusting" homophobic chants at Portsmouth footballer Sol Campbell.

Ian Trow, 42, of Deanshanger, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, and the boy, 14, denied indecent chanting but were convicted by Portsmouth magistrates.

The charges related to chants made at Campbell during a match against Tottenham Hotspur last year.

In a statement, Campbell said he felt "totally victimised and helpless".
