Agreed. I did post earlier that there was more to this than just a spontaneous out break of beer in the air and did witness beer/glass going over the front perspex screen.
No they don't have to but drinking fans + beer in hand + brighton goal = mayhem
As it stands it looks like the individual might have been chucking beer + plastic container at the opposition which makes it a step up from 'luzzing' beer and that's where line was drawn and it looks increasingly...
if nobody owned trousers then nobody would shit their pants..... taking beer in to stand was predictably going to end up with some thrown in the air and some plastic cups being thrown around.
I didn't go to Marseille so does anyone know what happened there (other than the assault).
That's what I was getting at - cameras are fine for picking out persistent people and identifying to stewards but retrospective means they have to correlate those images to something and seat location is a very dodgy method so has to be some sort of facial comparison. I thought people said , it...
Ajax fans I met were fine and that included 'youths' . On the metro I got in it was a great atmosphere between the fans , with song and counter song and actual discussion between English speaking Ajax fans.
It was completely predictable that beer would go up in the air i.e. beer in stand +'happy/drunk' people + albion goal = mayhem
so if the club thinks its a serious issue then they should have prevented it by saying you can't take drink in the stand.
Also how to you separate people who threw...
Camera technology can be good but the debate was not about stewards intervention but retrospectively identify people via an image and to do that they must have images of all the fans related to tickets (not impossible) and have had enough cameras to cover all the fans with clear images.
At Leicester away I got hit by a full plastic plastic bottle at end of the game thrown from LCFC it hit top of my arm/shoulder and was like being thumped pretty hard. 6 inches higher I would have been decked if it had hit the side of my head. .
So the club has pictures of every fan and can correlate them to some CCTV footage taken at the exact moment of the beer throwing? Impressive must be some sort of one of massive leap forward in technology as they couldn't identify the bloke at Marseille nor the Leicester fan who threw a bottle...
