Chelsea fan pushed off London train after repeated chants annoy fellow passengers

This is the moment a fed-up passenger shoved a Chelsea fan off a London Tube after getting annoyed by his chanting.
The Blues supporter can be heard repeatedly shouting “Chelsea, Chelsea” as he stumbles around in the Underground carriage.
Another man can then be seen jumping up and pushing him out just before the doors close on the Central Line service.
The Chelsea fan is then unable to get back on as the train pulls away from St Paul's station, in the capital.
The ejected man’s girlfriend was furious, saying to the pusher: “What are you doing, you idiot?
She promises her boyfriend “I’ll get off at the next stop.”
The film appears to have been taken prior to Chelsea’s pre-season friendly match vs Reading on Sunday - which the London club won 4-3.
The video got a mixed reaction from commentators on social media.
Roger Woodward wrote: “Brilliant I would love to shake that man’s hand.”
Pete Williams said: “Get that man a knighthood”.
But others were concerned that the push could have been dangerous.
Ryan Isaacs said: “In all seriousness that could have gone a totally different way”.
This isn’t the first time Chelsea fans have been involved in such an incident.
Four fans were convicted after a black commuter was pushed off a Metro carriage in Paris in 2015.
The fans shouted: “We’re racist, we’re racist, and that’s the way we like it.”
