TWO Norwich City football fans have become the first to be convicted of homophobic chants.
James Monkhouse, 28, and Michael Church, 24, shouted queer taunts at Brighton supporters at a game last February.
But they escaped a match ban after telling Norwich JPs they were responding to jibes that their teams East Anglian home was full of inbreds.
Insurance broker Monkhouse and engineer Church received conditional discharges and paid Ł200 costs after being convicted of disorderly behaviour.
They both told JPs their chants were part of football banter and did not think queer was derogatory, insisting they had gay pals.
The court heard police had warned the pair on their behaviour previously but did not consider them hooligans.

I heard that there was confusion during the trial?
When Churchy called the witnesses to his good character and to defend that the town wasnt full of inbreds.
Apparently he said :
"i would like to summon my mother and auntie"
and there was confusion surrounding the fact there was only one woman in the dock, but it turned out to be correct
