^^^^^ But what is there to respond to; it's clear he did the sign with his arms & has acknowledged it by saying he won't do it again. So he & everybody else knows he is guilty of doing it.
To be honest I'd never heard of the Quinelle until this & had no inclination when watching it that it was an anti-Semite action. But you have to assume he knew since his mate in France has had so much trouble over it.
The rules are a bit strange in that they leave it so open to interpretation about what actually is offensive - what would happen if an ethnic group or religion decided making the cross symbol was offensive to them? There would be plenty of call for it given christianities history, would the FA start banning that too (as the rules seem to suggest)?
