Fuengirola Saint Posted 2 September, 2012 Share Posted 2 September, 2012 I'm amazed so many of you condone violence for something which less face it is hardly serious. Yes, what he did was daft, but that doesn't mean he should be physically assaulted! You just don't get it do you? Yes he should be assaulted, if he is in our end making a **** of himself, then yes he should take a slap in my honest opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 3 September, 2012 Share Posted 3 September, 2012 (edited) Shut up you tool. If you chirp up in the home end when supporting the away side you deserve a slap. You do seem to be in the minority here MLG. I'm "in the minority" and being a "tool" for simply suggesting someone doesn't deserve to be punched in the face for cheering a goal of an away team in the corporate areas? What has happened here is no-one else has bothered to say what a bunch of idiots you all are to condone such behaviour. Hardly mature to go around punching people in the face merely for cheering a goal. It is a criminal offence to punch someone in the face and should be dealt with as such. Everyone that has stated they condone such behaviour in this thread really needs to take a long hard look at their moral compasses!

Yes, what he did was daft, but that doesn't mean he should be physically assaulted! An "expected outcome", doesn't make it right though does it? Punched for celebrating a goal amongst rival fans! It is a criminal act yet a large number in this thread think it is fine. Shocking read here. Since when is it OK to assault someone who's just watching a game of football just like me and you ? If he's celebrating the wrong team in the wrong end, let him be tossed out and good it is. There simply is not a single good reason to attack someone at a football match.

JackanorySFC Posted 3 September, 2012 Share Posted 3 September, 2012 The only thing that cheered me up a little was seeing a local United fan outed by one of ours walking out of the Itchen North, booted a few times and made to (literally) run home whilst clutching his bruised thigh. An onlooking woman protesting that "we are a family club, leave it" was rightly ignored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted 3 September, 2012 Share Posted 3 September, 2012 Hang on, wasn't this guy in the corporate area? Seems perfectly reasonable and expected to have a mix of fans in there and so he definitely should not have been assaulted for celebrating that goal.

Matthew Le God Posted 3 September, 2012 Share Posted 3 September, 2012 I'm now intrigued to here an answer to this from all those in this thread that think it is ok to punch someone in the face for celebrating the opposition score in the corporate areas. Where do you draw the line (if you do at all)? What if the Man Utd fan was... - a woman - under 18 years old - with his/her children - in a wheelchair - frail and/or elderly - pregnant - disabled physically or mentally Do you have any boundaries you won't cross or is it an instant punch in the face for one and all?
