A bit of an update on this today as the case has gone to court.  

 

Four Chelsea fans identified in the incident have been found guilty and banned from all football matches (home and abroad) for between three and five years. Five years is the maximum ban under current UK legislation.  Chelsea have banned the individuals from Stamford Bridge and from buying tickets for other Chelsea matches for life.

Four Chelsea fans have been banned from football matches following a racist incident on the Paris Métro when a black commuter was pushed off a carriage by fans chanting: “We’re racist, we’re racist, and that’s the way we like it.”
 
Describing video footage of the incident ahead of a game between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain on 17 February as “compelling”, Gareth Branson, the district judge, described the behaviour as “abhorrent, nasty, offensive, arrogant and utterly unacceptable”.
 
Handing down the orders at Stratford magistrates court on Wednesday, he said it was a racist incident that tarnished English football. Such behaviour must be stamped out and the orders should act as a deterrent to others, he said.
 
Souleymane Sylla was repeatedly and violently pushed off the carriage as he tried to board at the Richelieu-Drouot station in the French capital, in an incident filmed on a mobile phone by a passerby and also captured on CCTV.
 
Richard Barklie, 50, from Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, Joshua Parsons, 20, from Dorking, Surrey, and William Simpson, 26, from Ashford, Surrey, were each banned from football matches for five years – the maximum period allowed. Jordan Munday, 20, from Sidcup, south-east London, was banned for three years. All four had denied racist behaviour.

Chelsea FC statement.  (also references a fifth fan who had previously been convicted of the offence)

 

 

Chelsea Football Club has today issued life bans to five individuals involved in incidents prior to the club’s UEFA Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain on 17 February 2015. 

 
This follows Stratford Magistrates' Court’s decision to issue multi-year football banning orders to Richard Barklie, Josh Parsons, William Simpson and Jordan Munday. Dean Callis earlier received a banning order. 
 
The club will always reserve the right to decide who purchases tickets to attend Chelsea matches, and the behaviour of these five individuals was abhorrent, against all of the club’s values and falls way below the standards the club expects of supporters attending our games.
 
Therefore the club's bans permanently prohibit any of these individuals from attending Stamford Bridge or purchasing tickets from the club for any future matches.

One of the guilty used to be a policeman in Northern Ireland.

 

I never would have thought policemen in Northern Ireland could be bigoted rocket polishers.

If you asked Zlatan about it he'd probably say that he doesn't remember being sent off, he's never heard of John Terry and he didn't throw the elbow in that challenge.
