Five men have appeared in court over alleged racist chant at the Paris metro involving Chelsea fans. Richard Barklie, 50, a former police officer, Dean Callis 32, Jordan Munday 20, from South East London, Joshua Parsons , a 20 year old City worker, William Surpine, 25 arrived at the Waltham Forest Magistrates Court where police are putting an application for them to be served with football banning orders.The banning orders which could range between three and five years are to be contested by all five defendants according to their lawyers. The case is about the ugly incident captured on the mobile phone by a Brit- a footage that eventually proved vital in nailing the potential suspects after it went viral. Beamed around the world, Chelsea football hooligans were clearly seen forcing 33 year old Souleyman Sylla off a crowded train at Richelieu- Drouot as he tried to board the train shouting and clapping “We’re racist, we’re racist and that’s the way we like it”The group were heading for the Champions League match with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the 1-1 draw on February 17 before their innate stupidity and ignorance surfaced showing their true colours. Mr Sylla later stated that he felt humiliated and did not feel like a citizen of Paris in his own country. A VIP invitation offered by Mourinho was later rejected by Mr. Sylla unsurprisingly as he would not want to risk further racism by the many idiots that support Chelsea.
