Exactly Hotchilidog and in all honesty 99.99% of fans in a football stadium can refrain from chucking anything at anyone. That is not in question. Many many matches week on week manage to happen with many goals, many players celebrating but nothing thrown. However, 1 or 2 idiots ruin it for...

Hear hear.

Yeah because a fan from another team could throw a bottle from within a rival teams end and see them relegated. So yes, completely unworkable.

It’s not that hard to understand that I’m not excusing the thrower surely?

The ICC code of conduct is pretty clear you cannot send off a batsmen and will result in fines / ban.

Players never used to do this, not to the extent now up to and over hoardings, it’s a relative modern thing to do all this goading of away fans. I’ve watched all levels of football from non-league up for 35 years or so and don’t remember as many players as these days preferring the attention of...

Meanwhile you can’t even cycle to the ground with a change of clothes and a water bottle because the bottle is banned and the bag would be too big. Just because 1 idiot can’t handle a goal celebration. What next, someone throws a shoe and you’re only allowed soft soles trainers, maybe the lasses...

Don’t be stupid. I’m saying there is no need to goad home fans. Same in cricket right, a bowler isn’t allowed to direct their celebrations at the batsmen they’ve just got out - why? Because it isn’t necessary and the batsmen is suffering enough being out. Same for fans, bad enough to concede...

Yeah but he did seem more interested in goading them, and had to be pulled away by another player. It’s not on from any of them. Cash was full on goading the Everton fans, 2 or 3 times, if he did that to me on a squash court he’d be picking my racket out of his teeth!

Maupay as well. ALL players who do it.

Exactly. They don’t goad and celebrate in the face of their opponents - why, out of sporting respect, however they clearly don’t extend this to fans.

Players don’t do themselves any favours though do they, celebrating right up the the hoardings, gesturing and goading the home fans. Bottle throwing is not okay, but players have to behave as well.
