    Looks like his most recent ban has been extended.

    https://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/...s-toilets-claiming-he-was-transgender-4090839

    From what I've seen (and admittedly it's not that much), he's always just come across as a bit of a kn0bhead. Made me think - at what point does a 'super fan' just become an embarrassment? Looking at threads on their forums over the last few years, it seems like many Pompey fans have had enough of him.

    He was in the Dove before the game at Oakwell last month. Didn't see which of the shi**ers he used.

    Yeah I know when we were due to play them there was a couple of threads about him, didn’t he have a reputation of being a wannabe hooligan ?

    dunno mate. can't say I've ever heard of being involved in any aggro. could be wrong though. I think he tends to stay at arms length from away fans. I think most if not all of his bans have been from Pompey, for stuff he's done at fratton park. which is weird.

    Trouble is with this sort of thing - how does one prove categorically that he's not identifying with transgender? Opens a whole can of worms this sort of behaviour. I'm not saying he's not a nob just saying how does one disprove his explanation?

    Can't say for absolute sure, as I wasn't there. However I imagine judgment comes into it.

    1. Has he ever identified as transgender at any other point?....Apparently not
    2. Was he being offensive / brash / obnoxious in his tone / language?...Sounds like it
    3. Was he hammered?...Sounds like it
    4. Does he have a track record of behaving like a complete cap end?...Without a doubt

    I think the most likely conclusion is probably that he was just being a c0ck. Again.

    I have a Portsmouth mate who says he's known as a total bellend in the area, not just in football circles.

    Used to speak to him at a lot of the England games years ago when they were playing at Old Trafford, he used to park the mini bus with the Pompey flag painted on the bonnet at the WMC near the ground. He came across OK, he fecking stinks though, Jesus christ.

    On this occasion, the article does say that he claimed to identify as a woman 'to show solidarity' and not because he's actually transgender.

    I do get your point though.

    He said it was "to show solidarity with women". Given his previous for right-wing bell'ooks, I'd translate that as "to stick two up at trans people".

    It's a sensitive issue, but this just seems like an out and out case of being an inflammatory twát.

    Incoherent. Nuff said.
    It appears he thinks the fans love him. They are fecked off with him more like. How many warnings /bans will it take for him to grow the **** up. If he's courting sympathy he isn't going to get it.

    You've articulated this much better than I have. The article is a bit naughty too as its making out that this is a transgender issue when it isn't. The only people involved aren't transgender, and aren't claiming to be. It's about a man who either has a very problematic persona, or mental health problems. Either way, I think he needs help.
