Outraged Blues supporter Chris Overthrow yesterday set up the petition after reading an article on the BBC’s website he felt gave a biased version of events.

The Luton midfielder broke his leg in a challenge with Pompey skipper Michael Doyle in the Blues’ 1-0 win on Monday.

Pompey fan Overthrow, though, feels the BBC neglected to report the Hatters player’s role in the incident – with more than 200 others agreeing McGeehan was the aggressor in the tackle.

They also allege he gestured and spat towards the Fratton faithful, while also refused help from medics.
