Two charged over racist chants at Tees-Tyne derby
TWO men have been charged over racist chanting aimed at Middlesbrough's Egyptian striker Mido during last Saturday's game against Newcastle.
The pair, aged 49 and 23, are due to appear before Teesside Magistrates Court on Tuesday.
A Football Association spokesman said: "The FA condemns any racist or Islamaphobic behaviour and is committed to working to stamp it out.
"We will fully support banning orders for anyone found guilty."
