    "Fans pelt telly perv at footie"

    I was reading the Sun (for the articles, of course) when I ran across that headline. I understand the part about the soccer game, but that's about it. Could I get a synopsis of the situation and wth is a 'boiled sweets'?

    telly = television

    perv = pervert

    footie = football = soccer

    boiled sweet = hard sweet candy

    Thank you both, stilla and mrsjones. I must need to have my glasses prescription checked, because there were follow-up explanation articles on the story in plain view.
