It’s the club & Sussex plod pushing for these banning orders. I suppose the the Greek plod would have to do the same for the AEK fans if they wanted. They probably didn’t though as it was all handbags nothing serious.
But wasn’t he defending himself and the players families? This seems different
They’re not mutually exclusive
I didn’t see our fans throw any objects?
Right at the outset sone of our fans were goading their fans after the game (some scarf swapping had happened immediately as the game ended then it escalated). I didnt see our fans throw anything either and sorry i hadnt made that clear.
No but he was defending fans in that bottom section that were having anything and everything that wasn't tied down thrown at them.
As we looked down was it the incident on the left or the right?
I've noticed this more and more at our away games.
Wonder what they'd do for clicks without NSC? To be fair though, most of our two bob local news websites do the same
We’ve got multiple small groups (mostly 20-somethings but not exclusively) like this who are away game regulars. Will arrive in their seats (6-8 of them in 3-4 seats usually, starting arguments with those in their place), spend the entire game slagging off our players, goading the oppo fans or checking bets on their phones. The designated round-buyer will piss off on 40 mins to get the beer in, then they’ll come back again 5 mins into the second half, possibly having added another 2–3 to their number. Often no idea what’s going on on the pitch (won’t, for example, realise we’ve made a sub).
Ridiculous comparison. I'm sure 'Knollsy' isn't whiter than white but on that occasion he was defending others.
How was he defending items thrown at them? Has he got umbrella arms or was he deflecting and catching everything heading in their direction?
