Maybe he was merely trying to prove a point when a fellow suppporter shouted, "my granny could have stopped that!"

Spurs fans have born the brunt of racist behaviour at football grounds over the years due to our large Jewish following.

For us to do something like this is disgusting and I hope the perp gets banned for life from wherever we end up playing our games

Media jumping to conclusions that this was a racist act. Not sure how they prove that. Spurs have black players too.

The fan could argue he was eating his nana, was angry at the goal, then the celebration and threw the remains forthwith.

Any banter aimed at Black players is classed as Racist.. imagine the backlash if Beckham would have been Black .

It may not have been motivated by racism and isn't as bad as throwing coins but was nevertheles a stupid and cowardly act.

It's good to know that ever increasing cost of going to football hasn't priced out the scum.

The late great Laurie Cunningham, Viv Anderson and others had the right idea. Eat the banana with a smile and treat any possible racist or religious slur with the contempt it deserves. No need for media hand wringers anxious to sell papers. Bobby Moore had the right idea too. Insulting songs in his direction were greeted with a smile and wave of the orchestra conductor's baton. Why the breast beating fuss?

Do you not see.   A banana   SKIN    a  SKIN not a banana - banana skins dare what you slip up on - hidden message I do think - hoping they will slip up - or am I very wrong - nothing racist about it at all.  Was it not on the steps and the silly idiot flung it as rubbish??

this stuff is going too far - now we are sexist for asking a pretty blonde girl in a short dress, looking quite delicious, if she twerks.  UPROAR. I thought she looked good.  What would happen if a girl asked Modric if he twerked would there be uproar.  I hear so called 'sexist' statements and innuendo all the time on the box and radio - directed at men nudge nudge - never a murmur about that - it is BANTER - people need to grow up. 

All the furore on sky sports and than bashing on about how good female soccerball is which is not.  Have any of you watched one of their games??   I am a fan of womens' rugby though - a different game to the men but very enthusiastic (and they SWEAR  too!!!).  The commentators routinely apologise  for it and makes me laugh.

Disagree

You throw a banana skin onto a football pitch, treat it as literally as you like, that act comes with racist cultural baggage and any supporter doing such a thing has irony a long way from their minds.

No, Hanx. The point I would have thought is by throwing a banana at a black player is the action you would do if you were feeding a monkey; you wouldn't ever have any reason to throw a banana skin at a monkey. I agree with Moisok, throwing a banana at a black player - disgustingly racist, throwing a banana skin at a black player - meaningless in itself.

Van driver Averof Panteli, 57, threw the piece of fruit when the Gabon captain netted the first of his two goals in the Gunners' 4-2 derby win.

The lifelong Spurs fan and grandfather-of-two told The Sun Online he picked up banana skin after a child had finished eating it - and threw it without thinking about the racial implications.

"The Arsenal player was gloating in front of the away fans. He came up towards the away fans about 10m away and he is basically nodding his head and clapping at us.

"Without thinking, I picked up this banana skin from the ground and threw it on the edge of the pitch. I didn’t throw it at the players. It was just on the edge of the pitch.

"I am not condoning what I did and I regret it already."

Mr Panteli said he intended to plead guilty to throwing a missile on the pitch when he appears at Highbury Corner magistrates court on December 18.

After phoning club bosses to apologise, he was slapped with a lifetime ban from Spurs matches - meaning he will miss the new stadium's long-awaited opening next year.

He added: "The police were happy to say it was not racism.

- A lifetime ban is a disgrace.

Not all board members agreed with the lifetime ban...it was a split decision Plain

The Spuds board have shown great clemency by giving him a lifetime ban, he could have been punished a lot further and been given a ban of just a few matches.
