A message to the thieving, so called Seagull fan.

How can this be construed as 'libel' or whatever the correct form of the word would be?

It can't. Mention someone's name and I guess it could.

Edit: Beaten to it.

People nicking from each other at an albion stadium,who would have thought this was possible NEVER HAPPENDED AT WITHDEAN

Probably not the best time to post a new thread on the evening of a game,but here goes.I have been waiting a long time to get this off my chest.After the evening match against Reading I went with six others for a 'Harveys' in the Brasserie to try to deaden our pain! I put my £67.00 Brighton & Hove Albion winter coat on the back of a seat no more the three feet from me. When Gus came on the tv we wandered over to try to hear him. You can fecking guess the rest! So,to the scumbag/tw#t/pr##k/low life piece of sh#t,and insert any other description after this yourselves, I can tell you I spent a pleasant hour the following day going through CCTV in the West Reception. Guess what? your ugly mug came up and we also know how you got out without being noticed. So, in case you have the brains to see and understand this, DON'T fecking wear it, and I suggest you do NOT go to Brasserie/Dicks or anywhere else this coming season - seven of us know what you look like!

Sorry to hear that your match was ruined by a scum-bag. It looks like you were robbed twice. Unless it was better quality that the things from there I was given for birthday presents last year. Did the Club provide a replacement or any gesture?

 

[Seagull Steve]

I hope you bump into the slimy little bastard in a dark alleyway.

Wearing a winter coat to the Reading game?? It was reasonably mild that evening!

Still a nasty thing to have happen though.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

As I ran down to the station & my son and mates ran up to the buses I passed two of our finest: Their reply: Phone Headquarters and get a crime number! Yere WTF! They new and I knew I would not be seeing my coat again.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

clippedgull, that why I took the fecking thing off you dipstick!

 

[essbee]

I'd be amazed if anyone on NSC was remotely responsible. The person would have to be a callous,
unfunny, unintelligble twonk.
...
Well, maybe not that out of the question on reflection!

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Edit: thats ---- My Missus is telling me the fecking pizza is burning so I gotta go for a while!!!

 

[smeariestbat]

the 'libel warning' was posted as people were calling for a picture to be posted. posting a picture of someone whilst accusing them of theft would be libel.

 

[Bigtk]

Whist he may be a complete low life for stealing the coat, threatening to beat him up on a internet forum probably isn't the best way to go about if you have CCTV....

Thanks for clearing it up, however if you had evidence they nicked the coat it's not libel, surely? (Such as the famous iPad stolen thread).

 

[Twinkle Toes]

What a thoroughly shite state of affairs. I hope that scumbag gets nicked before you & your mates catch up with him (as you surely will at some point).

Bearing in mind you've identified the toe-rag on CCTV, what are the chances of him getting a visit from the local Constabulary? Presumably it'll depend on him having some 'previous' or being known for some other reason by the Cops?

 

[Mr Banana]

Ack, I feel your pain as I've lost an entire rail of coats in clubs this year. Surely the best way is to give the security honchos at the stadium his picture and ask them to keep an eye out?

My chum reckoned he had a scarf he bought in the shop before the game pinched during the Chelsea match. I feel a bit bad for laughing at the idea now.

 

[Lady Gull]

That's crap - never nice when you get stuff nicked - low life pond scum - x

Exactly if he did it, You should post his face, making it harder for him to rob in the future.
This libel stuff is important, but there's no need to go OTT!

 

[Stat Brother]

It's crap and a shitty thing to do.

But then again making yourself a target and not taking responsibility for your own actions is a little silly.

You would think however that amongst fellow fans in bar at The 'Community' Stadium, people wouldn't feel the need to rob. Thieving bastard!

Totally agree.
But just because we all support the same team, doesn't mean we all have the same moral compass.

In all fairness I'd have probably done the same, but would have cursed my own stupidity, not come on here swinging.

 

[Hatman1234]

perhaps a stupid question, but is it in anyway possible it was picked up by mistake?

guilty!!!
