Portsmouth say they will not put pressure on the FA to bring charges against Tottenham Hotspur following the verbal abuse directed at Sol Campbell on Sunday.

Hampshire Police did not make any arrests at the match despite the torrent of abuse directed towards former Tottenham defender and instead urged the FA to deal with the case in "an appropriate manner".

"We quite simply feel it is a matter for the police and the FA," a Portsmouth official said.

Tottenham said they would not accept behaviour of that kind from their supporters. "We do not tolerate racist, homophobic or obscene chanting at White Hart Lane and are now waiting for a full report from Portsmouth to hear how this matter was dealt with at Fratton Park."

The FA are still awaiting reports from officials at the match, including referee Mike Dean and have contacted possible witnesses to detail the level of abuse Campbell suffered.

"We recognise that football has a duty to challenge all discrimination within the game and our aim is to confront aggressive issues, obscene chanting and abuse," an FA statement read. "The FA takes these matters seriously and will investigate any alleged case we are made aware of, taking action where necessary."
