A St Johnstone supporter was yesterday found guilty of racially abusing two Premier League stars. Thug Keith Anderson was fined £450 for the shocking verbal attack on Livingston players Marvin Andrews and Eugene Dadi.
Animal Anderson, of Perth, was also found guilty of breaching the peace by lunging at a supporter who reported him to the police. No brains Anderson racially abused the players while watching them against St Johnstone.
Police had warned the 42-year-old painter and decorator about his conduct during the first half of the match in Perth last October. He called Livi’s Marvin Andrews a "black b******" and shouted at Dadi: "Why don't you go back where you came from, asylum seeker?"
Thankfully witness Joseph Robertson complained about the racist chanting at McDiarmid Park. Perth Sheriff Court heard how Anderson continued to shout at opposition players after he was warned not to by police and was eventually arrested.
Anderson, who denied the charges, had earlier told the court: "I am a passionate supporter of my own team. "Saying that players are rubbish is part and parcel of football."
Sheriff Michael Fletcher told Anderson: "This is a serious charge and remarks of this kind made at a football match could have caused very serious problems."
Anderson was fined £350 for the racism offence and a £100 for the breach of the peace and threats against Mr Robertson.
