Crowd Trouble

Not open for further replies.

I'm more embarrassed by some of the reactions on here.

It was a scuffle between footballers right by the "bear pit" that is the gwladys st end.

Some guy got a bit too involved, he didn't punch or try to cause GBH. Not condoning it but I reckon throwing missles into the park end is worse.

(On a side note - I actually enjoyed the mini battle, added a bit of excitement and atmosphere for 5 minutes.)
 

Am I seriously reading anyone making a comment that's defending the guy holding the child?!? It's ok because the players fell about pushing and shoving each other near the crowd? The guy is desperately reaching across trying to get involved. Ban him from Goodison, absolutely.
I don't have a problem with people defending the players actions in the incident - they are under immense pressure, whether that's down to their own doing or not, but they have to remain professional and keep a tight lid on all their emotions. The fans can (and do) shout off as much as they want and let out their frustrations, but players simply cannot do this. It's bound to boil over occasionally. Absolutely no excuse for "fans" actions such as this guy.
Utterly ashamed for anyone to know I'm an Everton fan today.
 

..it doesn’t, but it is more of an indictment on people than it is on Everton.


Of course. Just happened to happen to us. We live in a media age, where sponsorship way outstrips the meagre amount us fans pay in. That’s not the publicity you want.

I think that bloke will be getting a knock on the door from Child Services some time today...
