Quote from: saunders_heroes on January 23, 2022, 01:38:14 PMI didn’t like stuff thrown at the players, but i also didn’t like our player lying down on the pitch like he’d been shot. Also lets not act all holier than thou because I’ve seen our fans throw stuff onto pitches as well. It’s just things that happen in the heat of the moment really. Not good but not the end of the world either. Really? I’d say it’s a awful thing to do at a football match and they should be banned for life. Why would they be play acting? What would the point of that be.As for celebrating near their crowd, I don’t think that was the original intention and the players shouldn’t be blamed. They are caught in the moment. If people can’t handle it and have to resort to throwing bottles or whatever at them they really shouldn’t be allowed to be there.

Grown men throwing coins at people, what an embarrassment. maybe that sums up a rather entitled major of the British population by the looks of things. I liked calling Deeney a wanker at VP, then found it fairly amusing when he gave a bit back after scoring, then even more amusing chanting "Deeney, what's the score" at the end. Then at full time he acknowledged us (I think), we all had a little chuckle and went to the pub for a pint.

Straw poll - if it happened near you would you tell the police who did it?

I am sorry but players have NO right to have a go at fans. Fans in the ground pay their money, players are there to perform. However there is no way fans should be throwing stuff to harm players. I think that’s a bit precious too be honest. I’ve got no problem with players giving a bit back to fans, especially given the level of abuse they’re subject to. If fans can’t handle getting it back they shouldn’t dish it out in the first place.

Quote from: Goldenballs on January 23, 2022, 04:04:07 PMSo because fans contribute a small percentage of their own teams wages, opposition players can't cheer or celebrate in their general direction? What a load of nonsense. I don't think I said that in my original reply. You need to read that. I said PLAYERS HAVE NO RIGHT TO HAVE A GO AT FANS. And my comment was general not about yesterday.

Yeah I read it mate. Depends what you mean by "HAVE A GO"? If you mean cupping ears, fist pump, shushing etc then my point remains the same.

It's the stuff from there onwards to where it ended up with Cantona that's not right.

It's way worse than "not good" it's a very worrying trend that has crept into the game again recently. It needs to be taken seriously and the guilty ones given a lengthy ban. It is also a criminal offence for which he should be arrested. If someone threw a bottle at your head in the street you'd want them dealt with by the law surely?Nah, he'd just get up and walk on. Just one of those things isn't it?
