CITYAREREDANDWHITE Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Really hope the allegations of him spitting at the S****horpe fans are untrue. @HumbersideSport: #S****horpe United say they'll look into allegations that Bristol City's Luke Freeman was seen spitting at #sufc fans during today's game.

nickolas Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Players spit all the time. Can be construed as doing so at fans at loads of games. Bitterness i reckon as they were screaming and complaining at everything after losing two GK's to freak injuries that as SC said could have no blame attached to any City player, especially as the first one was a collision with their own player!! Unlike getting stitched up with video evidence for Elliott at Swindle i doubt there will be any clear evidence for this to go any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Lots of tweets about it. Let's hope it wasn't directed at a fan intentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin 101 Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well considering they tried to blame city for every decision/injury I expect he spat whilst walking over to take a corner and they let their imaginations run wild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 I'd imagine unless there is some sort of direct camera panned up close to it at the time of the alleged incident then it'll be hard to prove/disprove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronAidan Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Hello guys, Before I start I'm not bitter about losing. You are clearly a good side/one of the best in the league and I thought we matched you well considering the circumstances. I also work as a journalist in the football industry so i'd like to think you can take my word as found. Unfortunately I can confirm this incident did occur near the end of the game. Luke Freeman (no.15) was receiving some abuse from the Iron supporters in the Clugston Stand - opposite side to tunnel and dugouts. Freeman was stood on the sidelines, heard someone shout something, turned around and spat directly at the home fans with the spit travelling over the wall towards the fans. I was told afterwards that it hit a young women in the stand but I can not confirm that is the case. I have no reason to lie and many of other supporters in the stand can also confirm this did happen. S****horpe have already said they are investigating the issue. You may be right that the footage could be lacking as the game had moved on but stewards in the stand saw the incident have reported it to the club. I like Freeman, think he's a good player but what he did was completely out of order in any walk of life. It is in fact a criminal offence (Google El Hadj Diouf spitting at fan) and I hope that the severest punishment necessary is taken by Bristol City and the Football League/FA. I'm sure no one on this forum would condone this disgusting act despite supporting the team he plays for. Aside from that good luck for rest of the season.

Rob k Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Certainly not acceptable if true, but if it is, surely it wouldn't have been unprovoked Wouldn't matter if it was - if he's proved to have spat at someone then I hope he gets a 10 game ban. And to clarify I mean actually spit on someone and it hits them, not just in their direction. Would rather be punched than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 If its true forget a ban from the fa our club should take action against him and suspend him from playing. Not the sort of thing we want associated with our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn you must be trustworthy. Everything I read in the paper I believe. I mean, News of the world were damn credible. Facetious I know but your job lends no added credibility so it's pointless referring to it. Not party to the incident; if proven disgusting and like you I would back a severe punishment for him - not the club. But that's if proven and until then, I and everyone else should and must presume innocence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted January 17, 2015 Report Share Posted January 17, 2015 Diouf got a fine for spitting at a fan didn't he, not a ban? He then went on to do it 3 or 4 times to opposition players. As said, shame if true, seems a really down to earth kid who just wants to play football. Innocent until proven guilty as far as I'm concerned and you can bet that whatever happened is likely to have been blown well out of proportion. Thanks to our journalist friend above its already gone from "I saw him spit in the direction of fans" (Twitter) to "I've been told it hit a woman".
