WSMRobin Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 To the bloke who had his 12 year old son headbutted by a reading fan after the game, hope you report it and it was recorded. No place for that in any walk of life. Hope your boy is ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather than instantly calling the police and giving a description time date etc the father says he'll call the cops the next day. Very odd circumstances around what sounds like an brutal, horrific assult on a child by a grown man in public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzos Only Goal Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Personally haven't been a reading games for the best part of 10 years been twice since it was the new ground. Once was coined as TVP filmed it and stopped me from moving under allocated seating. And once was chasses across a car park after being bundled into a bus by TVP at the train station. Faith in TVP 0.

East Bristol is Red Posted September 10, 2017 Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Morning all, first time poster so go easy on me! it was my son. He is 12 years old (but admittedly looks about 14/15) and the Reading coward was about 20. We were walking away from the ground, through the crowd, the guy stepped into my son and ATTEMPTED to headbutt him. Fortunately he did not make clear contact and it was just a glance (the intent was there). As you can imagine I was fuming, so pursued him across the crowded car park (he was very distinctive with an orange jumper on) and I caught up with him and made it abundantly clear what a coward he is , in no uncertain terms, whilst he was trying to get away saying sorry sorry sorry....Whilst I understand people saying they would have have kicked the shit out of him (and if he had of made clear contact I would have regardless) by this point my other 10 year old son was getting upset and I was being restrained by others around me. On reflection this was probably for the best, would you trust the justice system if I did anything or what happens if I get arrested and my boys have to go home without me. A steward did approach me as we were walking away and invited me to report it (today) but is it worth it for an intended head butt and my son has no mark on him? Apologies for the long post.

Good three points COYR Fair play EBIR Puts some explanation into the original post and account When I read it, like others I was shocked and couldn't understand why others nearby hadn't acted - rightly or wrongly I would of if I'd seen a young lad headbutted (whichever 'side' the perpetrator and victim came from ) Your explanation makes sense and I applaud you for pursuing the little runt and your restraint in not going further , which would have been easy to do , and understandable Id suggest that your pursuit and obvious and understandable anger may have had a 'educational effect' on said runt who probably had to go home and ask Mummy for some clean boxers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
