Police planned to apply for a banning order but abandoned the idea when he said he would oppose it.
"At the time there were a number of players and officials in that vicinity but none were struck. Robertson, representing himself in court, said he didn't want to say anything in his defence. Gas engineer Jake Robertson was then spoken to by the police and he admitted hurling the flag, which landed near to where players and officials were standing at the time during the match, which ended in a 0-3 loss for the Foxes. Prosecutor Sally Bedford told the court: "This defendant was at the King Power Stadium on December 26 - the Boxing Day match. The court heard that since Boxing Day he had been banned from attending any football matches at King Power Stadium or any away games for Leicester City FC. That means he can start going to matches again.
