Denmark have three goals cancelled after fan attacks ref!

[NMH]

Were you on Barry Hearn`s side after the Orient game a few years ago then ? Did you raise your voice and ask for a points deduction against the Albion or even for them to be thrown out of the league like he did following the fans attempted assaults.....

Thought not.

I knew that comparison was going to be made, and it is of course a pertinent one.
Our match could well have been stopped had the referee decided it, and at the time with orient in the lead 3-4.
The raised passion of ire though, was at that event the fault of an orient player - so I think we might only have felt more incensed, and orient been even more at fault.

That would have underlined the orient player's cause for doing what HE did. Players would try winding up fans just to get games stopped at a juncture that suited them!
So yes, the fans were wrong to do what they did (although there was something *right* about what they did), but we were not entirely to blame. Punishing the players, the club, and the decent fans, while rewarding those scum orient and macgleish, would not have been 'justice'.

Denmark (as represented by one player) carried out a violent act on the pitch, not unlike Zidane's in the WCF (outrageous to recall). Then, a Danish fan attacked the referee. Danes punished all round. Justice done, message sent.
