Sunderland supporter Peter Copeland, 29, tweeted one comment about the Newcastle star striker Demba Ba's lips exploding, and then followed it by saying: "With the number of darkies in your f*****g team you should be called C**n Army."
Copeland pleaded guilty earlier this month to two offences under the Malicious Communications Act.
District Judge Roger Elsey said a four-month jail sentence was warranted because of the grossly offensive racist comments.
But the sentence was suspended for 18 months as he had pleaded guilty and deeply regretted his actions.
Copeland, who is awaiting sentence for burglary, must carry out 150 hours unpaid work and pay £85 costs.
The judge said: "I hope you understand you must never again use racist abuse of this nature."
Unemployed Copeland lives with his parents in Benridge Bank, West Rainton, Durham.
I bet his parents are proud!
WHAT A DICKHEAD!!!
