So will they touchline ban him ?
I don’t think they can without a fine first can they? Ultimately though I don’t think he’s arsed too much.

There's no such thing as an "official" symbol of a religion. "Widely recognized/identified" is the term you're looking for. However, when it comes to the Star of David, I guess a lot comes down to context, a bit like with the Muslim 'shahada' symbol: It's on the Saudi Arabia flag, and is obviously flown/displayed at their football games, but put it on a black background, and it's pretty much obvious that you're out to antagonize/cause trouble.

"You can't have, and we don't want, football equipment to display political symbols," said Glenn. "To be very clear, his yellow ribbon is a political symbol, it's a symbol of Catalan independence. We have re-written Law Four of the game so that things like a poppy are OK. But things that are going to be highly divisive, and that could be strong religious symbols - it could be the Star of David, it could the hammer and sickle, it could be a swastika, anything like Robert Mugabe on your shirt - these are the things we don't want."
What he said is far more offensive than the wearing of a yellow ribbon in support of Catalonian independence. He's the one that should be charged!!

It's not about Catalan independence, it's about being gaoled for sedition.

I wonder if Pep might investigate the possibility of taking the FA to task, under Article 10 of the Human Rights Convention, with regard to the right of freedom of expression.
It's a bit of a murky area but Pep could have a lot of fun, were he prepared to run with it.
