Now I Know In Football Fannery It's A Very Low Bar Already.......

...but what kind of low life scum could do this?

[Arksided]

Words fail me to be honest TTT.

[Blubster]

You've answered your own question... Low-life scum

[Electrochem]

Probably the same sort of people who taunted the police on London last weekend. Many of them were football hooligans with previous convictions for public order offences. All knuckle dragging rent a mob.

 

[andy-hughes]

Almost every time you as the same rhetorical question, I give you the same answer -

There's no response. 

You are looking for intelligent reasoned behavior from people who are not capable of it.

If you asked this man why he acted this way, he would say "I don't know ..." which is correct.

There is no reason for this vexatious behaviour. 

For a reason, you need the capacity to think and anticipate possible consequences. 

People like this lack the intelligence to do that.

So why not stop asking questions to which there is literally no answer.

It's the equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and tutting in the pub.

It's a waste of time.

andy, note the sentence "Houghton, who had been drinking before the match..."

[andy-hughes]

There you are - Instant Moron, Just Add Alcohol...

[naomi24]

I wouldn't give this thing  the benefit of the excuse of alcohol.  He's just scum.

[Canary42]

Just think though,  without such low-lifes there'd be no opportuity for your constant faux outrage which, let's face it, is a form of virtue signalling.

How much time do you spend searching out these examples - very sad.

[andy-hughes]

I don't think it's an excuse, but it is a factor.

Any semblance of civilised behaviour in a buffoon like this is soon drowned as his limited intelligence is pickled by the inhibitors being nullified, allowing his entire range of horrible instincts to have free reign. 

[naomi24]

Canary, i doubt any outrage produced by this moron's actions is 'faux'.  Sickening.  

[david small]

AH puts it succinctly. These individuals lack the consciousness to rationally think. They respond to physical stimulation somewhat like a amoeba, but less intelligent. They are underdeveloped mentally, they eat, excrete, and mate, often with each other.

[Lie-in King]

He's a moron (< that's me being polite & site-friendly) & I hope that at some point during his 200 hours community service that a lot of people turn up & brandish young Bradley's photo right back at him - that's all, no words, no actions other than that.

[tomus42]

You don't have be be an unthinking moron to do horrible things. You could also just be a horrible person.

[jourdain2]

Agreed tomus.  Just remember everyone that he - and lots of  other like him - have the vote.  

[Peter Pedant]

If you asked this man why he acted this way, he would say "I don't know ..." which is correct.

no I think he wd have said - "because I thought it was funny at the time..." - he had been drinking.... but had brought a photo with him, so there was a degree of thinking it out before ( ugh)

16:46, fair enough but I think it's good to discuss the detritus that exists among us on a regular basis and this is after all a site for the purpose.

[ToraToraTora]

17:14, have a day off canary, it's on the news sites, no one needs to go looking. Well except you that is for 5C stories to twist to your perversions.

No problem with that but let's not ignore the fact that Sheffield Wednesday supporters set up a GoFundMe page that raised thousands.

Every section of society has its scumbags.

[ladybirder]

After clicking on the OP's link I am surprised at how Houghton looks.  Not at all how I imagine someone who is said to be scum.  He knows how to put on a good show for court that's for sure.
