Brainy Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 The Copa del Rey tie between Real Betis and Sevilla was abandoned after Sevilla coach Juande Ramos was knocked out by an object thrown from the crowd. The incident happened after Sevilla's Freddie Kanoute scored in Wednesday's quarter-final second leg match. The Sevilla players left the pitch, causing the game to be halted, while Ramos reportedly regained consciousness after being treated by medical staff. The first leg, which had been played at Sevilla's stadium, had finished 0-0. The normal procedure in Spain when matches are called off is for the remaining minutes to be played at a later date. The build-up to the Seville derby was dominated by arguments between the two clubs over whether or not Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido would be allowed in the VIP box at the Betis stadium. After mediation by the Andalucian regional government, Betis finally allowed Del Nido to attend the match although a number of fans threw objects at him as he took his seat. There was further controversy because Betis had placed a bronze bust of Del Nido's arch-rival, Betis owner Manuel Ruiz de Lopera in a seat just behind the Sevilla president. Last season's cup quarter-final second leg between Valencia and Deportivo Coruna was abandoned after a linesman was cut on the head by a coin thrown from the crowd. The remaining 46 minutes were played behind closed doors one week later. Link

Why do they allow these missiles into the ground? And if they don't, they need some better stewards.
Joe. Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 So did i. Why do they allow these missiles into the ground? And if they don't, they need some better stewards. Well you could easily get a missile into the Walkers. It's not as if they're going to strip search everybody going into the ground!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 Well you could easily get a missile into the Walkers. It's not as if they're going to strip search everybody going into the ground! I guess seeing as TPH is en vacance, someone else should do a penis/missile type joke. Any takers?

Fez of Mahrez Posted 28 February 2007 Posted 28 February 2007 Ha! Well... I know someone who CAN smuggle a missile into the Walkers! Every Saturday! In his pants! I've forgotten the punchline...

Geo V Posted 1 March 2007 Posted 1 March 2007 They thought it was a coin but it ended up being a plastic water bottle??? Whilst my feelings toward the cowards who throw stuff are clear, ban them for life and fine them big time through the courts, the fact that a grown man can be knocked out by a bottle of water is strange to me.

Brainy Posted 1 March 2007 Author Posted 1 March 2007 Yeah, i've been hit on the head by a full bottle plenty of times and i've not suffered any damage. Unless it's a matter of his age..
