Woman steals Beckford Play Off shirt from child

[BensGrandad]

I would have no objection to the police following her add to buy it off of her and then arresting her but not give her any money. A despicable act but Is it technically stealing?

Alan Green says right at the end of the clip, "Mum knows best". Shirley not.

In fairness, he probably assumed the better of her. You don't expect to see this sort of thing happen.

They were sitting about 4-5 rows apart, so unfortunately not.

Wow. Just watched it. What an absolute pair of scumbags!

If the Twitter posts are right, he's her partner. The steward at the front, whose number is clearly visible, stood and watched it happen.

Certainly looked like he probably was. Good job they were caught out though and will now be known as the couple who stole candy from a baby.

Some people just don't have any pride.

Yes, I agree he did, and one doesn't. My "Shirley not" wasn't intended to be critical of his assessment of the situation, but it definitely could easily be read that way. Careless use of language, I fear.

F**k me we better bolt down everything in the away end next season!

This again feels uneasily like one of those sequences where it's hard to decide what's more dispiriting: the fact that meanness consistently occurs in the world or the reactionary capability technology gives people to metaphorically grab their wooden stakes and begin shouting for beheadings.

Depends on the video footage. The youngsters are fighting over it, and she is clearly not in possession. So maybe it is.

It's not that hard to decide really

Something tells me they are going to regret that theft big time.

Well, the shirt's off Gumtree already....

It was a truly despicable act; I do hope OB go calling.

 

[GT49er]

Get her on Jeremy Kyle

I don't think she's classy enough for that.

Well at least it shows some democritisation. Ten years ago we'd have to wait for the newspapers to decide who needed lynching; now we can do it amongst ourselves.

I'm going to bet the following two things will happen in tomorrow's media.


- Sad photo of devastated child clutching playoff final programme, surrounded by PNE curtains and bedset. "Bint stole my dream" style headline

- Paparazzi style photo of scummy woman and looking scummy. They won't even bother asking her for a quote they'll just make her look as horrible as possible.

- Heartwarming tale of how, as soon as Beckford heard the news, he offered the kid his boots AND a shirt signed by the whole team

Am I missing something?

 

[Ernest]

I bet she is on BENEFITS too

Yes, you are. That's three things.


Youre not wrong though...

 

[Mackenzie]

I'm sure it'll all work out for the best. They have got the woman's name on the PNE site.......

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I bet she is on BENEFITS too

And WHEEL be paying four IT!

Can't find it. What's her name?

Is that why you are called Two Choice ?

As it happens, I wouldn't bet against all of those in one article.
