Alex_BCFC Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Whereas 99.9% idiots running on the pitch to celebrate a goal will be fine - it’s inevitable that someone will go a step further and taunt opposition keeper etc. So you have to deal with these people quickly - although not with a headlock as has been pointed out. All really goes back to the point that you stay off the pitch and celebrate - you’ll be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Having watched it, here’s my take. The steward is clearly on a power trip. He’s a ***** and it is OTT. But that’s about it. I don’t think I could ever get a prosecution home (if I dealt with such minor crimes ) because it’d be too easy to defend. FWIW those suggesting that a simple arm up the back should’ve been the answer have clearly never tried it. It might work in The Bill, but in reality, a one on one arm restraint is nigh on impossible.

It's how he made sure he left the pitch that's the difficulty. If the guy had struggled a bit more and had his neck broken would people take the same view? I'd imagine not...

I am not the most supportive when it comes to incidents at football grounds, but that given the circumstances was to a point understandable, the steward needs to be reprimanded at the very least.

But has it ever proved fatal or even caused serious injury? Of course its not good but statistically speaking it was more likely for him to attack someone than to be serious injured by a choke hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at his intentions I think there's very little statistical evidence that he was going to attack a city player. Whereas there is a likelihood, a small one at that, that the headlock could have caused serious injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucky Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 The safety steward will be one of 2 things: A SIA licensed steward, or an unlicensed safety steward. If the Safety steward is SIA trained then they would not have been trained to use vascular restraints as they are not part of SIA training and SIA are against using them. If they are not SIA trained then I don't even believe they should be tackling any one physically as they may have no training in how to do so. The Police are prohibited from using vascular restraints and have been for nearly 30 years and so a safety steward certainly should not be using that technique. After the fan was removed from the players, the steward lost a hold of him but then re-applied the hold again. The steward should be using the training given which would be arm hold techniques and just as quick to apply. The fan shouldn't have been on the pitch in the first place.

The fan was excited that we scored, hardly a reason to take 'a swing' at anyone really. Of course the steward should have known that and reasonable force should have been used, a strangulation hold is not reasonable. In the light of deaths inflicted by the Police by the use of such and suffocation by smothering I would have hoped that those entrusted with crows safety should have been better trained. I am btw 100% for the police and proper behaviour by fans, but this was an assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
