If your statement is true then why didn't everyone else in that section approach the fan at the end of the game to lecture him about respect or are you suggesting the complainant was the only true Brighton fan there? Out of interest, what did your witness statement say???? Really? what...

Ever get the feeling you're in the wrong place at the wrong time!

Pretty good summation of the situation. Boils down to personal behaviour and self control. Away fans are entitled to jump up and celebrate a goal when in 1901 just as Albion fans would probably do the same if the roles were reversed. Obviously it shouldn't be overly excessive but there is...

You certainly know how to rewrite history. He didn't need to say anything to the Palace fan. Why didn't he just go to the lounge. What are you babbling on about. Your making things up again. It won't happen to me I can assure you. As pissed off as I get if we lose, unlike this guy, I...

But you/ or someone said the club were 'dragged kicking and screaming'. Is that a known fact. Can't see anywhere that suggests the club were not a willing or were an obstructive participant in the process but you want to suggest otherwise with inflamatory adjectives just to support your agenda...

I'm not passionate about the affair just seems that there are plenty of people who are passionate and just want to use this to get rid of Hebberd. Are all these people whiter than white and have never made a mistake in their lives? As Acker said, the important thing is that the club learn...

You should get of your perch and read all my posts again then. You could also do yourself a favour and read the report again. No where have I said or suggested he was guilty of what he was originally charged with. The only comment I have made relates to the fact that none of this would have...

Apologies, didn't realised you witnessed the incident.

You should think about what drivel you post. So you're suggesting that when the complainant had 'words' with the palace fan, Hebberd was immediately on to it and got his off duty buddy to intervene straight away to.

In many ways I am agreeing with most of what you say, ie there shouldn't be retribution but there are certain issues that need to be addressed, possibly additional training for the steward (which may or may not already have been done) and as previously mentioned protocols for dealing with...

In what way? That fact that I don't think Hebberd should be sacked for this? If there are no changes and the same thing happens again then yes he should go. If changes are implemented (and one already has been) and a fairer more transparent procedure adopted then no, he shouldn't go.

:facepalm:

You say 'is willing', shouldn't that read 'were willing'? You state that 'Albion clearly has none'. Shouldn't that again read, 'had none'? That is it is accepted the club cocked up but they have taken steps to redress this with the introduction of a temporary exclusion and, whilst I don't...

So, you have read the report but do you actually understand it????? It's clear you read my post but didn't understand that!!!! A direct quote from the report The IFO also welcomes the decision of the club to amend its policy to allow for a temporary exclusion where full details are not...

Have you actually read the report? The IFO acknowledge that the club have introduced temporary exclusions where the full details are not immediately available suggesting that for future incidents, they will seek to investigate both sides, surely an admission by the club that the procedure at...

:bowdown: The point I was making was that 99% of the posters on here are painting a picture that the guy that got banned was whiter than white. We were all annoyed with losing out unbeaten home record to Palace of all teams and in particular the way we just seemed to roll over (I may be...

Not exactly correct. It was not the route he normally uses just when the aisle next to his seat is busy. Also, you say the steward should have thrown the guy out when he first celebrated. Aren't you being as draconian as much as you are accussing the club of being. The steward had a word...

Have to say that the references to hospitality for all parties doesn't make any mention as to who had been drinking and how much which I would have thought would've have been something they would have investigated.

I've just read the report and trawled through this thread. What a load of garbage some are spouting off. Firstly, the palace fan was a guest in an area that has hospitality and I would imagine any brighton fan in the same situation would not be able to restrain themselves from jumping up when...
