WTF, how long was Cantona banned for? 6 months?
Although I think Dier is one of the most overrated players going.

When they played us at the AMEX, Dier did a fairly good impersonation of a donkey wearing diving boots.

And for this, surely any punishment should match Cantona's, whatever the provocation

So, from what I gather from twitter etc this is what happened:

Spurs lose on penalties
A spurs fan makes a racist comment towards Gedson
Dier reacts
Fan runs 20 or so rows up with Dier chasing him
Dier gets hold of him and takes a swing
Stewards etc intervene

Just thought I'd google to see exactly how 'young' his brother is. Couldn't find it but Wiki says he's the grandson of Ted Croker. Youngsters on here won't have a clue!!

I saw that at first, but Dier is heard saying “my young brother” and Mourinho has said that’s where the families of players sit.

The Met have since issued a photofit of the guy punched by Dier, who ran away.

People on twitter saying Dier called Gebson his "brother" and he attacked the spurs fan for abusing Gebson.

Having looked at the various videos the guy he is after has a black coat with an orange lining and he does a runner long before Dier gets there. Dier doesn't end up hitting anyone so not sure if he'll get a ban or anything.

He's probably just frustrated about the delayed release of No Time To Dier.

At the very beginning of the OP video, he’s frantically attempting to swing his right, but others are holding him.

It depends, will the FA go down the stern, setting a bad example to kids, punishment route? Or go all touchy-feely about a lack of respect from supporters and let him off?

They’ll have to do something.......min 6 game ban I reckon.
