One Team Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 ...Eric Dier has just launched himself into the home fans after the shoot out and allegedly punched a fan, cue scenes. Some reports that Gedson was being abused by his own supporters hence Dier's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Fair play, Eric. Racist abuse they say. Eric Dier, fair play to you young man. You only did what we all should do when this happens at football. Details to follow, i'm sure though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Haven't seen racism anywhere from a proper source, in fact Jose has come out an said someone was insulting Eric, his brother wasn't far away and seemed to take exception and which point Dier saw something between his brother and the person and jumped into the crowd https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51747014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_exile Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 best comment I've seen so far goes, "well, at least he's tried to tackle something for a change". On a more serious note, many sources are now saying that it was not an incident sparked by racism. That being the case, I hope he gets the same kind of punishment as a fan would receive for storming onto the pitch at full-time to confront a player.

TRL Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 I don't know if he hit anyone. But the game is over. He is now in the stadium hitting someone (if that is the case) fans are given bans from the stadium, sometimes lifetime bans. Surely if he has been found to have hit someone the same rules apply? If not then I suggest those with any sort of banning order certainly have a case against their own bans. I have no idea if punches were thrown I haven't seen the incident but it opens up a huge can of worms! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 All he's done is shown opposition fans that you can rattle him. I've seen nothing to suggest that he attacked the bloke - everything seems to suggest he merely confronted him. What he did was unwise and he'll probably get a 6 match ban for it but I can't see it going anywhere else. Like I said though, opposition fans know that you can affect his emotions, and he will see a shite tonne more abuse coming his way from the stands in future.

If it was the other way round and a fan had instigated it the fan would have been arrested. Players don’t abuse fans which is a big difference so when a fan enters the playing area it’s entirely unprovoked, by the sounds of it there was just a confrontation with no punches actually thrown although if the fan abused anyone in any other place they probably wouldn’t have been as lucky It’s unprofessional but some fans do cross the line and then can’t take as good as they give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 It puzzles me as to how Dier would know that his brother was being abused from down on the pitch. He had to go to over loads and loads of seats to get to the area. Funny how the bloke he wanted to get to scarpered. The chicken. I've got mixed feelings on this tbh. A part of me says well done to Eric Dier, even though I know he shouldn't have done it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 He'd do very well to hear a racist comment aimed at a player made be someone several rows above pitch side and know exactly who said it. I think spotting an altercation involving his brother is probably more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly the guy was verbally abusing Eric (which he was ignoring if he could hear it) his brother took offense to what was being said and Eric saw and altercation between them as he was walking near the tunnel looking up into the crowd for his brother, Eric then goes into the crowd because he sees his brother in an altercation not knowing whats happened, and to be honest seems a natural reaction if you see a sibling potentially in some sort of trouble.
