[Football] Jack Grealish

[Durlston]

Watching the game in a pub in London, the referee should have abandoned the game there and then.

Surely Dean Smith would say to him "Can you guarantee our players safety for the rest of the game?"

No amount of 'Zero tolerance' will stop a nutter acting like this. You'll note that he wasn't armed with either a flask or a bottle with it's top on.

No, it won’t. But it might just must help the message get through the impervious, thick skulls of the more cerebrally challenged amongst our fan base. Anyway, what’s wrong with zero tolerance of any kind of twatish, offensive behaviour? Why should it ever be ok?

Villa winning so he'll be glad they didn't

Grealish scored, of course.

Had to happen.

Oh come on, Grealish isn't that bad

Unacceptable, but he does have a punchable face.

Good for him. Bet the nobhead that hit him feels even stupider now.

I agree with the premise 'Zero tolerance'. However the meaning of those words is open to interpretation and where the boundaries for acceptable removal of 'privileges' as in being able to use a flask or bottle top are arguable.

I could understand someone thumping say, Joey Barton. But Grealish seems okay to me.

Sussex ref Tim Robinson in charge of this one. Hope he's not shown to be out of his depth at the end of the match.

Is that supposed to be funny?

Disgusting! Everyone knows that it's the floppy haircut that makes him punchable!

The mood in the ground could turn very ugly for the rest of the game. Some other nutter could run on - maybe with a knife next time.

Police looked like they nabbed a Steward for trying to push him back over the hoardings during the celebration !

Absolutely shocking. A lot of the Birmingham fans applauded the **** who did it as well! They deserve a points deduction for that.

I suspect most clubs would have a section of fans like that. If someone had run on and punched Wilf yesterday don't you think there might have been a round of gentle applause (not warranted) from the away section?

And if that happened yesterday, we would deserve the book thrown at us. Never an excuse for behavior like that.

Can't help thinking that there may be a few police staff back at the station who will invite the pitch invader to take a guess at the Villa scorer.

Seems passion from SUPPORTERS is frowned on these days

Yes, it’s a shame that people can’t take their flasks along to games any more, and no bottle tops is personally something I really struggle to get upset about. It’s just another of those niggling annoyances that are part and parcel of us being a Premier League and therefore more high profile club, and not out of keeping with restrictions found at any club in the PL, the aim being I presume to lessen the risk posed by idiots. There was a time when you could probably bring your dog along to the game, let alone your flask and sandwiches, but those times are gone. People have to make a personal choice whether or not they want to carry on following a club that imposes such “draconian” measures in the name of zero tolerance. I’m happy to.
