BCFC Matt Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Gerard Lavin got "done" and so should this scumbag. From what I could see/hear, there were alot of angry fans waiting for the player by the team coach - and rightly so. Justice must be sought.

He was doing what every footballer in that situation would have done, making sure he cleared the ball as far as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Owls2k Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 brunty cleared the ball? if the fan isnt paying attention then I'm affraid thats him problem, Chris Brunt apologised straight afterwards - someone will say brunty aimed it at him next There wouldnt have been half the trouble if the scoreline was reversed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Darko Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 don't be an idiot, a player would not try to deliberately hit a fan - especially when 4-1 up. players wack balls into the crowd that hard thousands of times each weekend, that fan was just very unlucky. i think the reaction of the fans in the dolman was more worrying, the fact that they seemed more worried about getting to that player than they did about the fan is a great shame. bad day all round, very poor performance, poor referee and a nasty incident and crowd reaction at the end. best forgotten and move on.

The power of that kick was devastating and straight. If it went up into the stand, OK, but there was venom in that kick at the fans. What if it had hit a small child !!!!.

Guest Twin City with En Avant Guingamp Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 I am not saying that the player hit the ball at the fan on purpose but he is defianlty at fault. There was absoloutly no need to kick the ball out hard. In the old day without ball boys maybe, but when there is no gain by belting it into the crowd, it was just stupid.

(head in hands at that stage)..only realised that it actually hit someone a few secs later. i honestly don't believe that he someone could do that on purpose but was there any need to hit it out that hard?

BCFC Matt Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Listen to yourself. You really cant be that stupid ← Right, let me think... Player has choice of: A- tap ball into stand (No harm) B - Blast ball into stand (cause harm) - OK, maybe un-intentionally picking that fan, but he still choose this option. It's quite obvious what option he choose and for you to call me "stupid", it really does make me pitty you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderHider Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 If you attend a football match you do so with the undoubtable knowlage there will be balls flying about. So what if some guy got hit by a ball, it happens. I got hit by a Peacock ball once and it gave me black nail, i fould it amusing and i felt special as if Leapy had picked me out expecially. No action should be taken against the player, that is utterly stupid, just like the people who suggested this. In fact, if this was in the USA the guy who got hit would be filing a law suit on the player and we would the all have to sit 40 yards from the touchline, would you prefer that?

No didnt think so, so how can you say whats best decision at the time, did he know who was around him, did he really give a toss about the crowd he just cleared the ball like 100% of all pro's do, who cares how hard.

England Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Calm down, calm down - he only kicked the ball out of play, Coles tried to hit a player into the crowd. Hope the guy is ok but if it was only tapped it into the crowd the player would have got worse from his manager and remember Hill only a season or so ago - he would have been in court every week!

Red Cloud Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Owls2k, it's not sour grapes, I was sat not that far away from this & saw the little boy crying his eyes out because his Dad had been flattened! In your eyes your players will have done you proud today, in ours, an absolute disgrace! We had an total shocker today & fair play to you, you cashed in on it. I can honestly say I've never seen reffing as poor & one sided as that ever - not you fault, grab it while it's there! Hopefully not to much fallout after this, we all gotta forget it & move on!

"how would I implement it??" - I think common sense is the key to that one. I'm not out for a battle, I'm merely stating my opinion - isn't that what a forum is for??

Admin phantom Posted November 27, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 From where I was sat it looked to be No. 3 Paul Heckingbottom, but in MY opinion he must have realised if you kick the ball at that pace at that height you are going to possibly strike someone.. The person was on the ground for a good 5-10 minutes lets just hope they are OK "If you attend a football match you do so with the undoubtable knowlage there will be balls flying about. So what if some guy got hit by a ball, it happens." Sorry but that is nonsense, you don't go to football thinking oh well may get knocked out by the ball today.. it happens. Oh well, well done Wednesday we were poor on to the tax dodgers ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
