The action caused him to be arrested and charged with "throwing a missile" onto a football playing area.

Green, who is 21 and lives in Princess Risborough, appeared before Milton Keynes magistrates last week.

He was fined £253 and ordered to pay £85 court costs and £32 towards victim services.

The court decided not to make a a banning order, which would prevent Green from attending other matches. This was because the offence caused "minimal" disturbance"m there was no violence, and Green had no previous convictions.
