An Away Move Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Sadly this is a bit of moan, which I hate doing. I thought 99.9% of our fans were simply brilliant today. But sadly I thought a handful of our fans stepped over a line today when celebrating our goals perhaps a little too exuberantly by basically crowd diving into the backs of those fans in the rows in front of them. All boisterous fun and all that, but the mate I was with has a really bad back and just didn't need to have to experience that. There was also a young lad with his dad who could have got hurt. It happened for both our goals and it spoiled my enjoyment of the match because it made me edgy. I'm so glad my Mrs wasn't there as she had planned to. She would have hated it and had she experienced it I reckon she would never have attended another match again. I know I might be being too sensitive about this, but it wasn't pleasant and is potentially dangerous.
Larry_LCFC Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Always a few knobs who have to take things too far. Not just in football, but in general. Sure someone will be along shortly to defend them though, citing "BANTER!!!!".
SystonFox Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 If it's a genuine rush of excitement like a last min equaliser from nowhere then fine. But if it's "LADS" just doing it for "Bantz" then it's shit
GaelicFox Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Do you know what would stop this? Safe standing. Or diKKheads just stay at home ?
An Away Move Posted 10 January 2016 Author Posted 10 January 2016 Do you know what would stop this? Safe standing. Maybe... But we stood the whole match. Both me and my mate fell as a result and my friend got his leg trapped against the seat and in trying to protect the little boy next to him got quite a bad bruise on his leg.
AyewJoking Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 over reaction maybe but isnt this type of thing basically assault?

But we stood the whole match. Both me and my mate fell as a result and my friend got his leg trapped against the seat and in trying to protect the little boy next to him got quite a bad bruise on his leg.NOT GOOD , hope he is ok
Larry_LCFC Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 If it's a genuine rush of excitement like a last min equaliser from nowhere then fine. But if it's "LADS" just doing it for "Bantz" then it's shit Its never fine. Wouldn't be quite so funny when someone's neck gets ****ed by a buffoon landing on them from behind. There is a difference between deliberately jumping onto people and crowd surfing and just celebrating in a melee.
Simi Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Maybe... But we stood the whole match. Both me and my mate fell as a result and my friend got his leg trapped against the seat and in trying to protect the little boy next to him got quite a bad bruise on his leg. Which is precisely why having safe standing would've meant that wouldn't have happened.
Simi Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 over reaction maybe but isnt this type of thing basically assault?Jesus Christ. Wouldn't like to spill a cup of tea over you.
An Away Move Posted 10 January 2016 Author Posted 10 January 2016 Which is precisely why having safe standing would've meant that wouldn't have happened. I would have much preferred it if the dickheads behind us had just not done it. It really wasn't pleasant.
Simi Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 I would have much preferred it if the dickheads behind us had just not done it. It really wasn't pleasant.That's fair enough. But safe standing would prevent this happening in future, always best to look forward before an injury does happen.
AyewJoking Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Jesus Christ. Wouldn't like to spill a cup of tea over you. if you pull someones arm isnt that classed as assault? spilling tea isnt comparable to jumping on someone.
GaelicFox Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Jesus Christ. Wouldn't like to spill a cup of tea over you. You wouldn't want to over me either !
Simi Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 if you pull someones arm isnt that classed as assault? spilling tea isnt comparable to jumping on someone. If you seriously believe someone pulling your arm should be considered an assault you should have a think about life.
GaelicFox Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 I would have much preferred it if the dickheads behind us had just not done it. It really wasn't pleasant. What was the age profile ? It's not those little pyro scallywags ? They have all the clobber (fake I must note ) inc aviator hooded jackets ! Their mum ,auntie and grandma are all the same woman , you know the type
Fox92 Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Can remember being at Peterborough once (when it was standing - that stand has been replaced now) and it was so bad people were doing this. People had to get out at the front.

Just pour a drink, cuddle up with the missus and turn the switch.
Kitchandro Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Maybe an all standing away isn't the best idea when you've got a bad back and little kids. Common sense protects.

filbertstreet Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 that guy was a few seats down from me, looked like he was a big bloke who just fell over

Maybe if you took your grandad along to a game and he fell and broke a bone, as could easily happen as a result this kind of thing, you might change your tune? I don't want to come over all righteous about this. I get lads just want to have fun. But it was dangerous and somebody really could get hurt seriously.
GaelicFox Posted 10 January 2016 Posted 10 January 2016 Maybe an all standing away isn't the best idea when you've got a bad back and little kids. Common sense protects. Not an issue until dickheads start jumping on people for fun !
An Away Move Posted 10 January 2016 Author Posted 10 January 2016 that guy was a few seats down from me, looked like he was a big bloke who just fell over No it was a few lads in their twenties right in the back rows. One even ended up two rows forward after his 'celebration'
