Harry Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Without wishing to make assumptions, and whilst sympathising with your experience, but I’ve never known a group of away fans randomly attack a 65 year old in a car. What happened prior to their approach that was the catalyst? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to defend their actions - they’re clearly a bunch of stupid little pricks, but what would’ve prompted them to attack?

Fordy62 Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 The law will accommodate you driving through a red light in those circumstances. I wouldn’t worry provided you’re being straight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottishRed Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Disgusting - this simply should not happen after a game of football. In fact, it shouldn’t happen under any circumstances, but it’s the world we live in now. When people take machettes to a cinema, as happened in Birmingham yesterday, you do truly wonder what is happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you for real, some morons don’t need a reason. Your opening statement is very patronising. And it’s obvious you haven’t a clue about thugs randomly attacking, you need to get out more. you made a presumption that the 65 year old old may of instigated them to attack. please be more sensitive to someone’s misery.

My apologies if my question came across as unsympathetic initially. I was just keen to understand the context of how this happened. Seems your son tried to do the right thing and these idiots didn’t like that so started on you. Sorry to hear that, and I hope you are all ok. 8 minutes ago, Greatgraham said: Are you for real, some morons don’t need a reason. Your opening statement is very patronising.

You misunderstood sir. I was asking for some context as to how this occurred. Groups of football fans do not randomly attack old guys in cars so I am glad the gentleman has now given the context. Clearly they are a bunch of ***** but the attack on the gent in the car was brought on by an earlier incident, albeit one where the guy and his son are still totally innocent. But the context is now clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You live a very sheltered life by your comment that fans do not randomly attack old guys. Attacks do not discriminate age it just happens to an elderly in this case. He asked for help if there were any witness and not to be interrogated by you on whether he instigated it or not. Am glad you now feel safe knowing he didn’t started it.

What are you talking about? I’ve been going to football for nearly 40 years and I’ve never once seen a group of 12 fans attack an oap in his car. The context has been provided. We now all know exactly what happened - which we didn’t know from the initial post. I asked a question to establish context, not to interrogate. No need for twisted knickers.

I think @Harry's question is very valid. Read it again, he was in the car, how would they Know he was Old and disabled. And yes I’ve seen many unprovoked attacks over the years and not necessarily the magic 12 fans of so. The number is immaterial. Harry’s questioning was unnecessary with no value but presumption. again, I repeat the man was asking for witness its immaterial who started it or how many? his explanations was good enough, why question him.

Whilst you clearly don’t know Harry I real life, so I can understand (not agree) with your assumption - you have certainly got this one wrong..! Having followed City for 30 years myself, I’d be hard pressed to find a more committed, knowledgable & savvy supporter of our club. Trust me, he knows the score, so any questions he felt Valid, IS valid, in my book. Perhaps best to concede that you’ve called this one wrongly.
