Next time Chelsea send their supporters to Auschwitz to teach them about the horrors of the holocaust perhaps Hennessey can tag along.

Obviously not the FA, even though it's against their rules.

"From the very beginning, he said that he was simply raising his right arm to attract the attention of the waiter taking the photograph whilst at the same time cupping his left hand around his mouth to make his voice carry as he shouted to the photographer to get on with it"

I remember a Liverpool fan being charged for using monkey gestures against Patrice Evra.

He was caught on camera and claimed he was coughing whilst trying (and failing) to put his hands in his coat pockets at the same time.

And you on Thurs, I'm looking forward to you beating Arsenal in the final.

I think it’s entirely possible Hennessy knows nothing/is ignorant about fascism and nāzis beyond they were the bad guys in WW2. It doesn’t mean he didn’t do the salute on purpose as a joke, just ignorant to any significance behind it. And it is possible it’s just bad timing really, though you’d think the other players around him would be involved in the investigation.

This. Soft touch Britain.

The fact that he's done the Hitler tash with the other hand basically shows he's 100% commited to Nazism.

It couldn't be the common pisstake gesture that almost everyone has done at least once (usually when you're 9 but still). Let's get in a big moral panic about it, as he's obviously 20 seconds away from exterminating Jews.

It's hardly prince Harry stuff now is it??
