[Albion] Another banning order.....

[Wellesley]

As an aside, he needs to sort them ears out.

Intelligent comment.

 

[Icy Gull]

So no chance of having to have this dick around me at the Amex, what’s not to like?

 

[Wellesley]

I would have a lot more respect if he’d steamed into some “come on then” Villa fans. Getting you’re knickers in a twist “hold me back” stylee and then taking it out on the stewards it’s twattish and cowardly.

You don't know him do you? I wonder if you would be cowardly or if you would say those things whilst face to face with him.

Sounds a bit of a tit, quite frankly. Struggling to feel any sympathy for him.

The pratt has got what he deserved, if you use violence, then expect to get punished, no sympathy here!

Not surprising - that is who all these posh boys running the country were brought up by.

Looks a bit harsh perhaps.........? Intro of ‘elbowed a steward in the face’ downgraded to ‘one of his flailing arms.....’ doesn’t imply it was deliberate. If shouting ‘come on then’ in sight of the other lot is an offence, then there might be a lot bans incoming. How long for ‘hold me back’ I wonder ?

Only been going to the Amex for a ‘few years’.... another Brighton are my second team JCL?

Exactly the thought that crossed my mind.

I’m not against this punishment.

But did the stewards/police also wade into the Villa fans and eject/arrest?

Always a soft touch to target a handful of home fans, rather than act in the away end.

At 27 he’s probably never been involved in or seen a proper off like us oldies have witnessed which is probably a good thing, shouting over a seat divide and hitting woman is all a bit tragic.

To be fair, it doesn't sound like he deliberately hit a woman, more that she got hit by accident in a kerfuffle.

It does make me laugh the amount of 'ban the animal' type responses, when anyone who went to away games before about 5 years ago would have seen this kind of stuff on a regular basis. Football has changed so much in the last few years. When I think about some off the away days I did in my early 20s, I'm pretty sure I would get a ban for that kind of behaviour now, and I wasn't particularly bad, by any means.

1) I don’t want to know him.
2) Getty gobby whilst there’s a safe divide, and wrestling with female stewards doesn’t strike me as someone I should be worried about? Or have I misread his hard man credentials?
3) I can run fast, especially after I’ve clunked him with my man bag.

I cannot understand why people are surprised that drunk anti social idiots should be treated differently at footballs grounds, and be given a free pass, based on a mythical culture of that was what real football was about. Madness.

Yes. A Villa fan was also due in court yesterday, but can't see a report on his case.

Interesting to see the calibre of the of posters defending him.
I’m sure if he’d elbowed your partner or daughter in the face as he was tussling you’d have just told them to stop whining, it’s football, he’s just a bit excited.

 

[el punal]

Harsh again however That article try’s to dramatise it .

Watch what you do and say kids .

Think it was a bit more than that, doncha think?

Yes, I believe they did - refer to numpty who let of the flare.

 

[Official Old Man]

I'm in the 'there for the grace of god go I' camp. But being near to retirement now it's only the one pint and 'flinging my arms' takes too much effort.
BUT
Worth noting how families asked to be moved because of the language and behaviour. Next season the club have moved a family area to right next to the away fans!!!!

 

[BBassic]

If you're going to get wound up by away fans being away fans maybe don't sit near the away fans

 

[Lethargic]

The key point here is why is a 27 year old living in Goring, old before his time?

This is all down to bad stewarding. From my seat in the North I could see Villa fans abusing and goading people across the segregation for most of the game, they've basically picked the easiest target rather than do anything about the bigger group of away fans.

It looks like this bloke has reacted to the abuse and then been singled out by the stewards for having a go back. He's obviously felt aggrieved and refused to go quietly when they chuck him out but let the Villa fans get away with it.

He made a stupid mistake by not just leaving when asked and he's paid a heavy price with a conviction for assault because someone got struck in the melee.

It's an unfortunate situation and someone has made some bad decisions, I'm not sure that warrants any personal abuse or making him out to be the scum of the earth.
