Trouble?

Recommended Posts

OK have I missed something? Yes there was going to small pockets trouble today but from what I heard nothing major took place so why is it that the echo and portsmouth news are headlining this and seem to be blaming each others fans?

were our fans rampaging through Freeborn motors, ripping bits off cars to throw at the pompey fans? Or is this the press again doing a bit of constructive journalism

 

yes fans were ripping wing mirrors off and pushed down a flismy fence the Ob had erected

just heard that Shamblehurst Barn in Hedge End was shut this evening due to a major incident after the game!

 

Doesnt surprise me. Last game I saw in there was that Arsenal match when Prutton and VanPersie were sent off - there were Skates at the bar taking the p*ss with barbed comments all match.

6 police cars and an ambulance outside at 4.30pm. No idea what actually happened, hope it wasn't too serious or footie related.

Well sorry to say by all accounts it was serious and footie related, Pompey and Saints fans having verbals inside then after it went outside and some Pompey fan was quite seriously hurt, but I guess we will find out soon enough if it is bad

That's just terrible news. He didn't have a blue wig and loads of home made crappy tattoos did he?

It was nothing to do with the footy btw. A lad was punched outside the pub & smacked his head on the concrete. The coppers locked everyone in - took all their names - and then let them all go. Not football related atall.

I got up the Barn a few minutes after the 'incident,.

 

There was a man 55-65 years old lying on the ground unconscious with a cut head. His mate,nipper and a girl were looking after him.

 

I went in the bar for a pint. No one inside seem to know what happened.

 

When I left 10 minutes later there was a young lad (20-25 years old being put in the back of the meat wagon in cuffs. There was a riot van 3 police cars and a paramedics car. The old bill were taking statements for the arrested lads mates and the nipper who was with the alleged victim

 

The victim was now conscious and in a lot of pain, but still lying in the same position.

 

The police taped off the car park as we left.

I am sorry but the first clip looks like the police were very close and could have been out of their depth. Luckly it did not kick off big time! Still did not look that bad in the end! Little bit of pushing and shoving, but no fists thrown there. Like I say if they desided to kick off that could have been very bad as the police were well out numbered!

Police seem to think it was all quite minor

"whilst it was ugly at times, we do accept that, actually, the level of injuries that were caused and the level of damage that was caused was relatively minor."

He added: "I'm not belittling anybody who got hurt or perhaps had a car damaged, but in terms of the scale of what happened and the way some people were talking before the game, I think it was a really good operation."

 

Usually the OB will make the most of it, the headlines seem to exaggerate to make this into a story

Just got this message from a girl who works there...

 

 

Well, someone got knocked unconcious and taken to hospital with life threatening injuries. The fella that did it ran off, two have been arrested, dont know who they are. The scene has been taped off and the crime scene investigation peeps have been in investigating.

 

Also I have heard from a good friend, that is WAS football related.

Sucess or not, I should imagine what with the Police chief on the echo website every two minutes talking about what he was going to do to stop trouble he couldn't say anything else but they had things totally wrapped up. Also with a huge bill to the taxpayer due he can hardy say he did a **** job.

Its sad that someone on here praises any kind of trouble, I was in the Itchen north which turned ugly as two Saints fans between me started brawling.

 

Anyway I would like to add my comments regarding the trouble, Why the **** did the Police let the Pompey fans out the same time as us?

It's brain dead and ****ing dumb.

Not when they've been publicly stating that they had covered all contingencies. Failure then becomes embarrassing and its in your interest to talk things down.

When I was near the car place, there was some bloke with his kid who can't have been older than about 12 years old. This bloke was giving a running commentary on the proceedings. "They are the older heads up front" "That's the youth lot there" "The youth are now going to go round and try and flank them"... It was very surreal!!

I was at the King Alfred when it first kicked off with the idiot skate. Started sining PUP thinking no one would react. When two people jumped over the wall about 40 followed and he got a bit of a beating by the looks of things. 'twas an idiot though, deserved it.

 

The congregation by the footbridge (as seen in the youtube video) was a result of people who had ran from the Alfred towards the bloke. Just a load of goading when the skates went past, few coins thrown. One Saints fan got his leg chewed quite badly by a police dog.

 

At the Freeborn garage it did get a bit lairy and I thought Saints fans were going to break through the fence at one points but the batons came out. After allsorts of objects were thrown (rocks, planks of wood, metal signs.....mainly from Saints fans) the police horses swiftly got rid of everyone in the garage car park.
