I've never seen an article revealing in such depth the locations of the accused?! I wonder why . . .

Why is it odd ? My local paper publishes the names and addresses of all the scrotes passing through the magistrates courts every week.
I don't understand why you think it odd.

I think that's completely normal. I've seen it before.
What is odd is the idea that there are 11 Spurs fans in the world. I grew up in North London and even I only know three.

I think they published them to show the world that these 'fans' all support their local team!

I Can understand publishing the addresses of the four who pleaded guilty to the offence. However, the others have pleaded not guilty and the trial hasn't yet started. If their homes or family members are targetted by anti-racist organisations, and they are then found to be not guilty, I wonder if they would have a claim with whatever publication revealed where they live? Aren't they innocent until proven guilty, in which case at present, they are not deemed to have committed an offence?
Maybe they should have committed a sex crime instead. If their names were on the sex offenders register, the courts wouldn't have allowed anyone to publish their addresses in such detail.

It seems the more serious the crime the greater protection for the perpetrator, that can't be right!

Is there any crime worse than supporting Spurs?
