Mohamed Salah<\/strong><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
A football fan who shouted racist abuse about Liverpool\u2019s Mohamed Salah and mocked the Heysel stadium disaster has been banned from matches.<\/p>\n
Joel Barwise shouted when Salah\u2019s name was announced at Anfield on October 21 before the Merseyside derby.<\/p>\n
Everton fan Barwise also made pushing gestures to taunt fans about Heysel, in which 39 fans died in a crush before the 1985 European Cup final.<\/p>\n
He was handed a three-year banning order at Sefton Magistrates\u2019 Court.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old pleaded guilty to racially or religiously aggravated harassment causing alarm or distress by words or writing.<\/p>\n
Barwise, of Bentham Drive in Childwall, Liverpool, was also fined \u00a3500.<\/p>\n
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said he was spotted by a match steward shouting racist abuse and making the other gestures.<\/p>\n
Merseyside Police identified him from CCTV and he was later arrested.<\/p>\n
The CPS said he initially claimed it was a case of mistaken identity before later admitting he was responsible.<\/p>\n
Asked why he had done it, Barwise said: \u201cBecause I\u2019m an idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n
His banning order means he cannot attend any football match in the UK over that time.<\/p>\n
When international matches are being staged abroad, Barwise must surrender his passport.<\/p>\n
He also cannot go within a mile of any Everton match, home or away, or within a mile of Liverpool Lime Street station on matchdays, the CPS said.<\/p>\n
Senior crown prosecutor Angela Conlan described his behaviour as \u201cdisgraceful\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cJoel Barwise no doubt thinks of himself as a loyal Everton fan but his actions bring shame to his club.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe made fun of a tragic football disaster and shouted racist abuse when a key Liverpool player\u2019s name was announced.\u201d<\/p>\n
