I have little respect for the OB, too many similar incidents, not all football related. They kept a low profile when the riots kicked off in London a few years back, not so confident then at the exact time they were needed the most

Football should be about a fun day out with your families these days? not that sort of policing or fans attacking players?

He was lucky they killed a newspaper vendor in a similar assault.

The night of the Croydon riots the locals were left to do the policing. The ones that weren’t rioting of course.
Complete pr*cks in that video. I remember taking my two daughters to Selhurst when we lost 5-0 and the police thought it good policing to knock my daughter flying with a police horse whilst we were being kettled.

If my dad was in hospital after being arrested I think I would have other thing on my mind that celebrating.

Note of course I'm not condoning what the police did.

He's definitely upset.

Let’s hope justice is done and this doesn’t go any further. It must be quite distressing for all involved.

I'm certainly not condoning what has happened in regards to the police action with the fellas dad.
The police, especially in London, are having a hard time policing the boroughs, especially with the recent knife crimes and terrorist incidents.
It certainly doesn't help with the media hyping up Saturdays game as a so called M23 derby, from something that happened between Mullery and Venables, all those years ago.
This IMO, has a knock on effect with the police segregating rival fans because of the hype and intel.
As already mentioned, I hope the club does look at this and the educate people involved with the liasoning to the police.
We are a family club after all

Metropolitan Football Policing Manual Article 7

What to do when you are all geared up, widespread public disorder has not broken out at all but you fancy a scrap anyway?
Answer: The old...... Push the complainant away from incident but into the back of another officer allowing numerous other officers to throw complainant face down in the concrete whilst screaming stop resisting .....manoeuvre

But apparently Sussex police are the real ******** because they didn't let a few Palace fans take fireworks in or some such nonsense.

Even the Met Police called it the M23 derby on their MPS Football Unit Twitter feed before the match.

Well it sounded like you were implying something like that.

What exactly did you mean then?

The bloke in this video is a mate of mine. He understandably was not happy with the way the police were treating his son for no reason. Ended up arrested, charged with affray, spent today in hospital due to injuries caused by the police and with his season ticket taken away. Serious over reaction by the old bill and I really hope Paul Barber looks at this video before banning a bloke who was just trying to look after his son

I'd be interested in hearing how that pans out with our Mr Barber. I think I can guess the answer but hope for sense to prevail. I wish him luck

I've found it quite easy to get away from the ground the last couple of times. Just asked to get past the cordon as I was parked in that direction and they've let me go...maybe I have an honest smile

Myself and some friends nearly ended up on a train out of Chesterfield after a match, had to escape as we traveled by car.

If my dad was in hospital as a result in being arrested I wouldn't open up twitter and tweet "Oh what a nightttt��"

I'm not disputing anything I just think its unusual

From my experiences with hospitals, there are long periods of sitting around with nothing to do as you wait. These days, that means the phones come out.
