Brainy Posted 12 March 2018 Posted 12 March 2018 Would it be better if it was just some random bloke that was hit? 1

southfox66 Posted 12 March 2018 Author Posted 12 March 2018 So now its ok to throw coins or any object that the potential to cause serious injury, if hit in the eye!!

Of course not, but clearly being his widow it will attract media attention, i wouldn't condone any throwing of objects at a game that has the potential to cause injury
SheppyFox Posted 12 March 2018 Posted 12 March 2018 **** people throwing things at football and **** the media for being dramatic slags 3
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 12 March 2018 Posted 12 March 2018 Our away end did seem a bit more "old school" than others recently. There was an edge to it from the off. Has been the same the last few years to be fair.

But someone else undeserving had a lighter thrown at them. Some of the people that watch football are absolute pondlife. Desperate for that one day where being a normal person goes out the window and you can throw stuff and legitimately shout vile abuse at everyone and everything. Other people, stewards, players, who cares. 11

Popular Post Wakeyfox Posted 12 March 2018 Popular Post Posted 12 March 2018 I misread the title as being Jeff Astles window. Wondered if he lived nearby 5 7
Bunyip Posted 12 March 2018 Posted 12 March 2018 Of course, if it had been at our ground and one of our widows the hysterical self-righteous tub-thumping on here would have reached a crescendo buy now. Trying to belittle it is shameful. It should not have happened. And what of those thrown out? will that lose their right to ever purchase an away ticket again? Will they be banned for life ? I hope so. 1
Brainy Posted 12 March 2018 Posted 12 March 2018 I haven't seen anybody condone it. My rather pedantic point though is it doesn't make in any more or less unacceptable whether it hits a 'normal' 32 yr old bloke or Jeff Astle's widow. 2
Hugo Sanchez Posted 12 March 2018 Posted 12 March 2018 What I noticed Saturday is their a lot of lads who go , don't care about the actual game. Some people Saturday turned up completely rat arsed drunk and had no idea what was actually going on, on the pitch. Also these over the top celebrations of falling down the stairs and ending up on the floor. I'd understand if it was a massive game and was a massive goal but going 3-1 up against the shittest team in the league hardly warrants it. Also noticed they don't sing or anything, or support the team. Spend more time in the concourse throwing beer around singing **** the IRA. I didn't see any coin throwing but did go out for a fag at HT and noticed the fence separating both fans was being targeted by mostly our fans and throwing bottles over. Reading the stuff on Facebook about it, the club have used cctv and got faces of the people throwing coins. They'll get banned but they'll still be able to get tickets and go though. Same as Madrid away, a lot of people out there who weren't even bothered about the Football.
