[Albion] Ajax Goal Celebrations - Beer Throwing Bans?

[Guinness Boy]

You really do seem to love your avenues of whataboutery. Extrapolating a 5 match ban for beer-luzzing to a lifetime ban for a driving offence is like comparing an apple to Philip Schofields favourite scatter cushions.

Completely abstract and pointless.

You do make me giggle.....

Then my work here is done x

I could be wrong, but I imagine that @El Presidente has a selection of films containing girls going wild in turns.

You're not wrong. although sometimes they are going wild simultaneously.

Sounds like they got the right person.

 

[Black Rod]

The thing I have taken from that is the club's approach to banning fans is appalling, like a kangaroo court.

Not that this is news. The independent ombudsman has said as much in previous findings... which the club then went and publicly dismissed.

No wonder Bloom and Barber are so against a regulator for football.

Surely the club are simply trusting the Ajax interpretation, the same we expected Palace to do over the fans that broke into the away end.

'Minutes later we scored. My friend throws his beer (keeps hold of the cup) . I throw mine, not paying any attention to where it ends up.'

It was silly from me, it wasn’t a deliberate act and it wasn’t anything different than what a lot of other fans have done'

Yes, the person might have been "unlucky" in that he was caught what others presumably got away with, but he conveniently ignores 2 things: Don't do what most other folk would consider to be a stupid act in a packed area, and be consistent -by his logic, the burglar entering his house and ,say, stealing goods to the value of thousands should not be prosecuted, as others do it and don't get caught.

He needs to be given access to the CCTV footage. I look forward to the frame by frame analysis, where he is able to demonstrate that due to the angle of his arm the throwing action was entirely involuntary and only willing participants were covered in the remnants of his point of Henieken anyway.

Thing is, at least three cups were luzzed well after the initial goal celebration, in a deliberate attempt to get them over the glass/perspex. They landed on the polythene on the other side and partially obstructed (or at least slightly polluted) the already compromised view we had.

Hardly the worst crime ever committed at a football match, but just the usual inconsiderate, antisocial 'the rules are different when you're at football' bollocks.

Good grief the club really don’t have any of its supporters backs does it. Ajax say a few Brighton fan did this or that that and they simply believe them as according to them they do not have any CCTV access from Ajax.

Frame by frame you can see that his arm is in a natural position - not a penalty.

He nudged my arm, I was entitled to throw it randomly in the air.... and anyway it always looks worse in slow motion

Presumably if he had thrown the cup onto his knee first and it had deflected into the air then under the current rules the punishment would have been revoked.

If the club haven’t seen the footage then it does seem like this chap has been banned for being honest and admitting he did something silly.

I wonder what would have happened if he had claimed it was a case of mistaken identity. Would the club have bothered to get the CCTV at that point, believed him or doubled down on the punishment?

Covering supporters backs is what got him into this mess, unless I am very much mistaken.

They banned the man who saved the club what do you think
