Football fan jailed for insulting king

A Moroccan schoolboy, aged 18, has been jailed for insulting the king, after replacing the monarch's name with that of his favourite football club.

He altered the phrase "God, The Nation, The King" on the school blackboard to read "God, The Nation, Barcelona".

FC Barcelona says it has appointed a lawyer to look into whether they can help the boy.

It is a bit harsh, it isn't as if he is a Man Utd supporter.

    • Thats cool that Barcelona are looking to help the fan. With way Barcelona are playing this season, the schoolboy is right. Barca I believe are playing the best football at the moment.

    • When he is released from jail I suggest he moves over to the UK. I have never made any derogatory remarks about the Queen or Princess Anne as I think they are A.OK.

      Regarding the rest of the royals Charlie talks to trees, Andy the biggest sponging layabout of them all.Eddie prize plonker,

      See! I can express my opinions freely here so the young man can come over here and support Man U and slag some of the Royals and Chelsea or Arsenal off

    • I can't imagine living somewhere with such strict rules on speech and expression. I think I'd be sent to jail every few days! I hope his case is dropped.
