Player Dies After Being Hit By Object Thrown From Crowd (Merged)

[kiwicolin]

after being hit by something thrown by the spectators in Algeria.

Apparently got hit in the head by a rock. 

He was the leagues top scorer and scored against the home team who lost 2-1.

Very sad.

Actually he was playing for the home team and scored his side's goal in the defeat. He was hit by his own fans!!

[Major Isewater]

This sort of thing should never happen .I hope the authorities come down hard on the culprit and the club .

My sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.

Quite correct.

 

He scored his team's goal in a 2-1 defeat at home.

If that happened here we would be banned from Europe and there would be an outcry but in other countries they seem to get away with all sorts.it should be a level playing field.

To be fair, if it happened in Europe I'd expect serious repercussions from our authorities. I don't know what to expect from the African ones, though. I don't know what we should expect from FIFA on this, either.

Manslaughter surely, if they can find the guilty party.

[Monkeh]

they have suspended the league and it looks like the home team is going to be expelled completely
