Newcastle Player Struck By Coin

Dougie said:

I've read this thread and I agree , the person who threw the coin is a idiot who I'm sure will be identified and banned . It's happened a few times and will keep happening if people can't control their emotions . No one likes it when players celebrate in front of you ( Newcastle overdid it last night ) but usually a " **** off " will suffice.

I hope you're right, and that they are identified. I've not seen the clip in full: did it come from the Holmesdale Fanatics area?

If that is the case, I don't hold out much hope of anyone amongst them coming forward to point out the culprit, do you?

If it did come from the Holmesdale Fanatics area , why do you not hold out much hope of any of them coming forward to point out the culprit..? Surely there are hundreds of them and they can't all be thugs...can they ?

I don't know really. Maybe they're all nice, sensible lads in reality But they do attempt to perpetuate a certain, anti-authority image, and for that reason, I have a strong feeling that- if it was one of them who threw the coin- none of them will be ringing the club any time soon to name him.

If you want a slightly more gory one this was just minutes after the coin had sliced my eye in two! I did an article once for a Wolves fanzine after they had a few incidents of people throwing coins. I reiterate IMHO anyone who throws a coin is a total coward. If any of the Palace fans want to use this picture or for me to write an article happy to do! Not a happy memory but life goes on...

I’m Palace, I was hit by a coin ears ago and scarred. Luckily only on my lip. It travelled about 40 yards from the away section at home to Charlton. How’s your luck? Standing in a terrace with a few thousand in, my head turns and a 2p hurled with force and on a gravity forced trajectory hits me in the chops. I’m over it – not mentally scarred. But coin chuckers are cowards. Mind you coins are chucked at us from Charlton on every visit, oh yeah, they are a fairly cowardly club. You don't ever meet one in real life.

Nailed on the person who threw it was under 20yrs old. And a bit whet behind the ears. There’ll learn the hard way, when they get a ban! Cisse deliberately tried to wind-up by running behind the goal. Me I would have sprinted to celebrate with the away fans.. Just wish anyone who is offended by that they had to chuck an object would throw a screwed up piece of paper instead. Pretty disgusting headline – it doesn’t matter how close it is. Don’t throw it.


Going to sidetracking…

Good to see old Mellotron wielding his hypocritical stick. He’s not been on the BBS for a few years. Not surprised after all his predictions, Palace were on the way down and Brighton were hot stepping it to Premier League and eventual European competition. Although his departure was fairly gracious, probably still seething.

Some facts for Mellotron about Palace and our admin – he’s been told before. Several times… but that bitterness can’t get past the facts.

Fact: We owed £30m, £25m of it to Jordan, as he funded us (bit like you owe £120m+ to Bloom)
Fact: We owed £3.5m to Agilo a hedge fund, who had secured their debt. Jordan borrowed this money for 12 months, for intended repayment in full.
Fact: The remaining amount as of that time was for running costs, and was not forward looking for players /contracts etc.
Fact: Agilo got ridiculously agitated and decided to call in the debt, which was secured as part of the terms. We couldn’t settle it.
Fact: Agilo called in the Administrators. Stopping Agilo a multi-billion hedge fund, run by a maniac, and anyone getting their money owed. It was taken out of our hands – and through the appointed administrators.

CPFC2010 stepped in because nobody else wanted to – we were an hour or two from closure. We were a loss making company, (bit like every championship club) but the club hadn’t been invested in for six + years and hadn’t paid for a player in the two years prior to that. (you’ll see from our stadium it’s been longer than that), our only asset was our players contracts as we didn’t own the ground, staff, and the club name. We didn’t even own our training pitch. The staff was skeleton due to the redundancies . Season ticket money had been called in advance with 5 & 10 year deals (and 100 or so 25 year deals too). Revenue had already been received and offset against debt. So anyone that came in had to honour 3,500 long term season tickets. Crowds over the six years from the Prem were dropping an average of 1,000 a year, community relationships were halted. Averages got to a lowest of 14,900. The only thing that had been invested was thankfully our academy, which is the life blood of any professional club. A big job for anyone – especially for four local fans who had zero industry experience. They didn’t really want to take it on, the problems ran very deep.

So debt free? That’s what happens, they pay the creditors get few pence in the pound and the debts are written off as bad debt. Quite a few of their local businesses remain with us, I hear – and are getting a lot of work their way. Jordan got about £2m of his £25m back. (A painful lesson) Agilo got some if not all of it back, can’t remember the terms. Are you really upset that Jordan lost a bomb? No. Under scrutiny your moral high ground is a little fake. Because when you have clubs like Leeds & Leicester (whose fans were also not complicit) but whose owners were very sneaky in ensuring maximum expenditure before calling in the administrators themselves to stop them having to settle the debt you will see that you couldn’t care less about them. Let’s hope Brighton never have to suffer the indignation of going to administration – forget the on the pitch. Long standing servants of the club getting wheeled in on the Monday morning, people who have devoted their lives to their club (no matter which club) getting told to pack their desks and leave. All employees are at risk – no redundancy package or notice period. Fans having to whip round and sponsor the teams shirts, organise fund raising nights for the sacked staff, paying the St Johns Ambulance debt. It really is one huge party! Having “(in administration)” after your club name is no badge of honour. It’s a horrific time, and been some of the darkest times of supporting the club. Your ignorance on the subject is appalling – one would hope you would never have to suffer it. Because I wouldn’t wish it on any club or community.. You’ll be asset stripped by the vultures inside 6 weeks.

The first ever club to receive a winding up order was Brighton & Hove Albion – thanks to your old mate. Or was that your fans fault going by the hypocrisy on here? Let’s hope you never have to receive another. It will be a sad day if you do.

Sweeney Todd said:

In the Palace-Albion game of October 2005, Wayne Henderson, our keeper that day, was constantly pelted with coins and bottles at the Holmesdale Road end, as was Gary Hart when he picked the ball out of the net after Clinton Morrison’s stoppage-time goal was disallowed. Moreover, I was one of the Albion fans by the corner-flag, in the away end, at whom were thrown several coins. I complained to the stewards, but they stood around doing nothing.
