Just What We Didn't Need
What a moron. I hope they ban him for life. This will surely spoil the fantastic victory. With a face like that it shouldn't be too hard to figure out who he is.
UPDATE - The man has been found and arrested. He apparently was from North Wales. I posted an article in the comments section if you want to read more.

I dont know if that is the worst thing the media can find I will take it
you figure out who he is ban him for life and move on. The fact that there were no Racist Chants or anything worse than booing of Evera should start to put this story to bed. Also if he was not the season ticket holder you ban the person who owned the seat. I remember the NY Giants doing that a while ago for the snow ball game. because if this guy is not a season ticket holder what will he care. I mean unless they can prove who he was making the monkey sign at can they charge him with anything?
I will say this as an American find the English sporting world very Orwellian, I mean if you held American stadiums and fans to this standard a lot of people would be banned for life in a lot of places. What are people doing going though all the footage of the crowd frame by frame looking for stuff like this
Like I said hopefully they will be able to id the guy but the whole process seems a bit Big Brother to me.

It is a difference in mentality and rights
In the UK racism is flat out illegal, a criminal offense. In addition there is CCTV cameras everywhere in big cities to combat crime. They literally do have big brother watching much of their cities.

I keep forgetting the Bill of Rights stops at the waters edge :)
No 1st amendment in the UK sometimes I wish we did not have one here ;)

Apparently 3 Mancs were arrested for spitting on the Hillsborough memorial class. Now I am seeing Mancs post 96 weren’t enough on twitter. Disgusting.

and all we are going to hear about is Monkey Man from the EP
I hate to say it but I almost home City runs away and hides in the EPL so Man Utd has no chance at any silverwear this year

Absolutely. I’d much rather see Man City win the league than Man U. If it’s not us, I just don’t want it to be Man U

I'm hearing those were just rumors
The Merseyside Police are reporting that they have not arrested anyone for that. There were a few Man U fans ejected from Anfield for spitting though.

there were
Confirmed chants about the 96, no action taken by FA or police. Should ban the asshole who did the monkey dance.

Agree
Unfortunately chants about the 96 may be deplorable, but I don’t think they are criminal over there.
The man has been arrested. See below for article.
