Hull City have been fined £30,000 and banned three supporters following discriminatory chanting during their FA Cup defeat by Chelsea in February. The club have accepted the Football Association's charge and warned fans about their behaviour ahead of Saturday's upcoming Premier League fixture against the Blues, insisting that homophobic slurs will not be tolerated.
Hull City extended their dream start to the Premier League season after holding Aston Villa to a hard-fought 0-0 draw at home on Saturday. The result keeps Sergej Jakirovic's newly promoted side unbeaten without conceding a single goal across their opening three top-flight fixtures, sitting second in the early table with an impressive seven points.
Hull City have issued an official response after new signing Robinio Vaz was targeted with 'abhorrent' racist abuse on social media immediately after his arrival. The French forward, who joined the Tigers on a season-long loan from Roma, was greeted by a wave of discriminatory comments on the club's official announcement posts.
