Great atmosphere throughout. Didn't sound that loud in the ground!

Can't believe that anyone pays for a ticket to a football match and spends their time videoing it!

It definitely looks like the guy was going to go and then a few of them said things to him as he was leaving. Also it looks like one of them tried to punch him and then remembered that it was against the rules and stopped before he hit the guy's face.

Silly old bat
If he was a kick boxer (as stated above), then he could have been kicking out, and the steward is trying to get him off balance to restrain his legs.

There were 2 threads & 30 odd posts detailing those involved inc ex player after the match
no there wasn't 
If there are people who know this chap, are they able to get his side of the story.
Something clearly enrages him massively.

It looked as if other fans wanted to get involved after the punch from the stewards and that could have escalated quickly.
If I were this guy I'd ve saying drop the charges against me and ill drop them against the steward. But it probably doesn't work like that

Stopped the vid at 46 mins and can see clearly why he kicked off....what a ****ing load of shit, we can't pass more than 5 yards to a team mate. Plus the fact the Finn is an utter ****.

I am in the video as I sit just in front of him. What happened was he stood up at had a real go at Hyppia and Jones calling for them to be sacked. Paul Watson, the ex player and physio, started having a go back so the lad said that he hoped he got sacked too. This then lead to Watson coming over to him swearing his head off and offering him out and a scuffle followed, quickly dispersed by stewards. All calmed down and the stewards could be seen having a mothers meeting involving managers and supervisors and after about 5 to 10 minutes about 8 to 10 stewards marched up the steps and tried to grab him out. One women steward totally lost the plot and started to yell at matey. It then, very quickly turned into the melee you see on the video. The lads dad and brother got involved and ended with the lad being jumped on by 5 stewards. He had by now totally lost the plot. The whole incident was initially caused by Paul Watson totally unprofessional behaviour and then by inept and dangerous stewarding.
Having sat near the guy since Amex opened he can be mouthy however on this occasion the stewards went totally over the top and Watson should be reprimanded for his part. No doubt he will now be banned, it would seem that as fans we are now no longer able to have an opinion!
Symptomatic of the current malise at the club!

The camera lost the will to live after 56 minutes
Poor effort from Watson if that's true.

It's true, he was almost standing on my toes when he kicked off! I didn't realise it was him to begin with. Worse thing was he just sat there with a smug grin on his face when matey was getting kicked out!
Nah - middle tier. The angle from my seat is steeper.

In my experience he doesn't have a lot of time for fans.
An apology for his lack of professionalism would go a long way though...
