I don't. I was trying to say (albeit in a clumsy fashion) that alcohol and me isn't always a good mix and I've been at both ends of the violence scale when male+alcohol+a bit stupid happened. I'm not condone it, I merely said it happens. For the record, there is a very strict limit of my alcohol intake these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best thing you can do is NOT give them the publicity they love, by going overboard with your shock horror headlines. What "shock, horror" headlines? 2 guys in hospital due to a fight about a game of football. That's frankly shocking. It's a ******* GAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Real shame. I just hope it was firms and not people who wanted to steer well clear of a scrap. IF it's any serious damage then its a very dark cloud over a otherwise brilliantly day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Reports of physical violence at football matches and anywhere else for that matter, always make me angry. Anyone who goes to work should never come home in a pine box and the same applies to any kind of sporting or entertainment event. I am ashamed for our City of Bristol and for our Football Club. My sympathies to the victims family and a wish for a total recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the world began Doesnt make it right of course - just reality sadly I'm surprised how shocked some are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one grew up in Wolverhampton and if It turns out anything serious has happened it's not gonna look good for us. All thoughts with the family at this time.

WestonRobin Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Police were on the scene pretty quickly. i was in the spotted cow - out the back in the beer garden - and didn't hear of any commotion. I left just after 18:10 to get the train and as I walked out a police van pulled up, there were already officers on the scene speaking to various individuals. Didnt hang about to gain an understanding about what happened but initially thought someone had been hit by a car as a man was lying motionless across the zebra crossing. There was another man with head wounds sitting on the pavement but he was conscious and talking. Shocked and very disappointed to learn this is as result of violence. If so, I hope the culprits are caught and brought to justice - no place at football, or indeed society, for this type of behaviour. Hope those injured make a speedy and full recovery.
