Unfortunately for myself & my mate, we were unaware of the possible danger from Spurs fans who didn't take kindly to 2 upstarts invading their territory & got a bit of a hiding, nothing too serious but bloody & bruised. The moral of this tale is if you have to watch a game in the middle of fans from the opposition shut the **** up & hide your colours. I learned this lesson very early. Back in the early Seventies when I was young and dumb, I was ejected from Carrow Rd for 'giving it large'. I walked round to the home end and paid to get in again (as you could in those days). I did a great job of keeping quiet until we scored - I just couldn't help myself. Much to my relief it turned out there were a good few Leicester fans in there with me, so I was merely ejected again.

Popular Post Silebyfox_89 Posted 21 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 January 2022 Think alot of posters on here are over thinking the situation really, the person obviously did something stupid and suffered the consequences for his actions. He's not dead, I'm sure he'll learn a lesson from it. I think there's a lack of sympathy for this person, the situation wouldn't of happened had he not been there. Away fans are not permitted in the home end, so he's made his own choice. No reason for defending him nor abusing our fans for reacting to him either. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably someone who put their seat up for resale (it was communicated by the club due to the original fixture being postponed). Probably didn't have a seat in L1 anyway and thought he could get into the away end. Still, crazy for actually getting in there, and staying! I sit om L1 and didn't see anything to be honest, probably to shell shocked along with everyone else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club don't want tickets to go to Leicester fans who have not got memberships so can't really see Spurs fans buying one to then buy a ticket too.

Yes the guy was stupid and naive. But surely we can be better than being pleased he got his head kicked in for being stupid and naive? There are very few things in this life I feel genuinely warrant someone getting beat up by a big group of people. Supporting another football team and acting a tit certainly isn’t one of them. .. an opposing supporter believing it would be acceptable to be in an enclosure and supporting his team openly, should be expecting some pushback in that scenario!!! There is a lack of respect in choosing to do this, it comes with consequences as you would not agree with someone, choosing to enter a group of lions, caged at a zoo and their choosing, to have a picnic within that cage because of the view it afforded them. In life we all are aware of decisions that are ill conceived and taught throughout your formative years of the dangers in society which can be covert or unashamedly open. An assault on a person, having placed himself in such a situation, you may believe he has little or no right to be, is not something we all wish to see, but drawing this to an officials attention would have served a better purpose.

HighPeakFox Posted 21 January 2022 Share Posted 21 January 2022 Let me be clear, I understand emotions were running high and I do not blame anyone for being incredibly angry, either at the result or the behaviour of an imbecile. However, my point was, and is, this. If one is boilingly angry, in any life situation, the responsibility for what one does with that anger lies not with the cause of the anger, but on the individual that is angry. I'm sorry if this comes across as high & mighty, but being in the presence of someone offering themselves as prey is not a legitimate reason. And no, I'm not calling anyone a sexual predator, but the parallel is obvious. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not having that is a word to describe a quantity of anger. Highly impressive sentence apart from that though sir, especially using "one" to desscribe ones self, not just once but twice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Freeman's Wharfer Posted 21 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 January 2022 Football is great because it’s tribal. Because it’s raw emotion. Because there’s hatred and vitriol and rivalries that run way deeper than just the sport. The amount of posters in here wanting some kind of unsegregated theatre show where everything is nice and nothing is brutal or aggressive is astounding. It literally exists elsewhere, if that’s what you’re after - pop down to the rugby or the lower leagues of the game where the stakes are much smaller. Leave the brutal beauty of it to the rest of us. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post foxile5 Posted 21 January 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 January 2022 I did a real ripsnorter of a fart in the east stand once and a bloke two rows back said he'd kick the teeth in of whomever did it.

09bballer Posted 21 January 2022 Share Posted 21 January 2022 Once sat in the Centenary Stand at Anfield with a mate in the 90s. Absolute agony when we scored but I didn't wear colours, stand up and celebrate or gob off. Never done it since though and not sure I ever would.
