Hull City have announced that arrests were made following discriminatory chanting by supporters during their 4-0 FA Cup fourth round defeat against Chelsea.<\/p>\n

After offensive chanting was heard in sections of the home crowd in the first half, a warning was made over the PA system urging supporters to stop and reminding them that CCTV was in operation.<\/p>\n

Another announcement followed in the second half which included confirmation that arrests had been made.<\/p>\n

Hull had warned their fans ahead of the match that “any chanting of a homophobic, racist or discriminatory nature is entirely unacceptable and will not be tolerated inside the MKM Stadium.<\/p>\n

“Any supporter found engaging in such behaviour will face serious consequences including immediate ejection from the stadium, the possibility of a banning order and potential criminal prosecution.”<\/p>\n

In his post-match press conference, Hull City head coach Sergej Jakirovic said: “I didn’t hear that [the chanting] and this is not the place for this for sure, in the stadium and also in public as well. This is not good, for sure.<\/p>\n

“The stadium is not the place for that and this is the reason why they are arrested.”<\/p>\n

Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior added: “Without knowing what has happened, and I don’t know, any discriminatory language in any form about anything is unacceptable.<\/p>\n

“I hope it gets dealt with. The fourth official mentioned something to me but I was so focused on the game. I honestly don’t know what’s happened there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hull City have announced that arrests were made following discriminatory chanting by supporters during their 4-0 FA Cup…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":424678,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-424677","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=424677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/424677\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/424678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=424677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=424677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=424677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
