Football Fan Banned for Mocking Hillsborough Disaster

Tottenham Hotspur fan Kieron Darlow has been given a three-year football banning order and fined for making gestures mocking the Hillsborough tragedy during a match against Liverpool in April.
Darlow pleaded guilty to threatening and abusive behaviour to cause harassment, alarm and distress.
His football ban covers football matches and the vicinity of grounds and he has been fined £314.
Darlow admitted making a gesture towards the Liverpool fans and that this was a reference to the Hillsborough disaster.
An online petition calling on the UK government to make chanting about tragedies at football matches a criminal offence gained more than 15,000 signatures in the space of a week.
