Sour Mash Posted 25 February, 2016 Share Posted 25 February, 2016 Listen, if they haven't completed the mandatory forum posts having been punched then it's their lookout, guv. I sure as hell don't think it happened given they haven't posted on an internet forum about it. Must have formed a large part of their defence during the hearing, I would imagine As I thought, nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sour Mash Posted 25 February, 2016 Share Posted 25 February, 2016 Prosecuting, Gavin Sumpter told the court: “Mr Jameson has previously threatened police that he would travel to matches without a ticket to be involved in or start disorderly behaviour.” Do you believe everything you read in the papers?

Saint_clark Posted 25 February, 2016 Share Posted 25 February, 2016 Absolute joke tbh, I was there and that echo article doesn't match what went on at all. Apart from being factually incorrect and completely misleading, I find it annoying that they try to make out that somehow spoiled the entire thing...it didn't in the slightest. Entire trip remains probably my favourite memory as a Saints fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint86 Posted 26 February, 2016 Share Posted 26 February, 2016 I think it is clear that there are posters on here with vested interests who know the people involved. Ultimately who cares, they got banned and maybe harsh or justified... I didn't see the facts to judge. As for the comments regarding clubs involved... you can see in some of the videos that there are guys in yellow and black shirts carrying batons attacking fans in red and white shirts before promptly running off when the cops intervene.... that is pretty clear who was involved and who were the antagonists. Just goes to show how people warp the facts either deliberately or through confusion in times like these... it is there in clear video evidence. Although the same video also shows a saints fan going after one of the Vitesse fans and hurling a chair at him whilst trying to punch him. If they had banning orders before, and have had these reinstated on the back of cctv footage, then I don't really have a lot of sympathy for those particular people. Sorry.

whelk Posted 26 February, 2016 Share Posted 26 February, 2016 (edited) Wasn't there but anyone who trusts the press over eye witness accounts is naive in the extreme. I have seen so much in past and many injustices like Italian police rounding up any English supporter they can find in Rimini 1990. After all the trouble (and there was fair bit that night) had died down the police finally made their presence known and rounded up 246 supporters and deported - our press labelling them all scum to be dropped in the ocean. Many were just lads in the wrong hotel when the police finally found their courage to show they could deal with it. And one bloke wasn't even there for the World Cup but had just left his missus and popped out to get some ciggies - arrested and deported. Arsenal fans hate Piers Morgan and not just because he is an obnoxious bed wetting bore but is because his Mirror paper reporting on similar crp in Copenhagen. Lads defending themselves from Turkish fans - doing what any self respecting male would do. http://toknowthegame.com/2014/03/03/why-arsenal-fans-hate-piers-morgan/ Edited 26 February, 2016 by whelk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 26 February, 2016 Share Posted 26 February, 2016 Coming late to the debate but Nick I and Turkish are correct in their recall. I was with about 15 mates, sitting around 2 tables just around the corner from the main square where all the joviality was. I noticed a group of about 50 Dutch fans tightly packed come around the corner from that square and head towards us. Instinct kicked in as I thought there was a chance they might have a go at us (we're all old men average age about 55) but they passed us by. They looked very intent and seemed to know exactly where they were going (they turned left shortly afterwards and headed for the other square where the trouble took place about a minute later). None had colours on and they were chanting Arnhem songs. Had they attacked us, then there would have only been one thing to have done and that was fight back to defend ourselves. I am sure that is what all of us would have done and there was (as far as I know) not one convicted football hooligan amongst us. Had I later received a banning order for defending myself then I would be mighty peeved. I don't believe there were any Saints fans there looking for trouble, but that doesn't mean to say a lot of people there weren't prepared to stick up for themselves if they had to. The echo reporting is shameful - it is no more than a rag these days, I feel sorry for the few decent people that still work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many Saints fans could sing "We are Southampton" in Dutch. Erm...guessing you didn't go. Every Dutch person i encountered over there spoke excellent English. A lot of places are taught it as a second language from an early age. When we played them at St Marys, weren't they chanting "you're sh*t and you know you are" or some such...?

The9 Posted 26 February, 2016 Share Posted 26 February, 2016 (edited) My brother was right there in the mix of it (the square, not the fight) and said there were Feyenoord fans involved. Who is telling the truth? I personally saw one bloke wearing a piece of Feyenoord training kit leaving the Korenmarkt where the incident happened as I was walking back to the other square from the hotel. The cordon of riot police between the two squares were happy enough to let me through, it was only their presence that alerted me to the fact something had happened in the 10 minutes since I'd last been there. I also saw a loud group of Arnhem fans set off from the square with the DJ towards the Korenmarkt before I left to go to the hotel, but they left before me, and there was nothing happening there when I went through Korenmarkt - so either they went the long way or the two groups weren't related - there were a LOT of Arnhem fans singing and shouting in groups like that without causing any trouble at all in both home and away legs.
