Its quite an important distinction though isn;t it

I accept to a degree the argument that in this day and age ideally people shouldn't be hurling abuse of any sort whatsoever but I don; think that's realistic and the c-bomb is widely used at most football matches up and down the country every saturday.

This guy's face ion on every social media outlet, every media platform and if he's telling the truth then he's lost his job and his season ticket after going for 50 years and is something of a social pariah. IF he did say "manc" (I can;t tell to be honest having seen it several times - it could be either) then that's a pretty onerous fall-out from the incident for him but then i'm not sure how it can be proven either way now.
