Knob head in South

Don’t worry the Middlesbrough fans will have used their knowledge of football stadiums and those with families or children will have identified the danger areas!!!
Any families or children hurt in the incident should have used their brains and not put themselves at risk👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes, really stupid of people going to a match and expecting not to get stuff thrown at them, how dare they?
 
Exactly, people on that Huddersfield thread still saying it’s someone’s fault for putting their children or family in a dangerous situation.
Just don’t get it some people, it is not acceptable to throw coins bottles etc, it is also not acceptable to behave like an aggressive Rabid animal in a public situation, to suggest we as parents should pre determine disgusting behaviour from our own folk, to make sure we are safe, is the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is of very limited intelligence.
 
If some dick did throw a snooker ball they want potting. It's stupid & I wish they'd give it a rest.

Yep said the other day, well someone said it was a pool ball which explains only 2 shots.

But if a snooker ball its even worse, probably why the guy who threw it had a rest.

Can't believe they fired the white at the green (pitch) without potting a red and the ref missed the foul.

Chalk the whole thing down to experience.

Cue more snooker puns......

Obviously such behaviour can't be tolerated but I think it's time to give the chap in the frame a break.

Two Wrongs don’t make a right!!!

1) Throwing anything at opposing fans or on to the pitch than can cause bodily harm is……WRONG……culprits should serve banning orders.

2) It is also WRONG to act irresponsibly & delusional when taking young family to football matches and putting them in unnecessary danger.

When my lads we young we went in the family stand whenever we could, and if there wasn’t one I always looked where the young lads congregated and ensured my kids were nowhere near them.

Even at my age of 60 I ensure I’m near the atmosphere but not in the middle of the young MSG & their enthusiastic youthful behaviour.

Football has always had its “more rowdy elements” at every club the 50 years I’ve been watching it, but by “using my loaf” a bit it has always enabled me to stay relatively save in an allocated away section of a ground.

Yes some of the younger supporters behave inappropriately at times but if the Police can’t change it you won’t.

Unfortunately, it’s a defined characteristic of the fabric of todays social society. 🚌🚢🧡
 
You have to feel sorry for the Golden Eagle B Pool Team who made the long trip down to the Sun Inn for a vital League game to find it cancelled because some inconsiderate smoggie had pinched the white ball😜

Spot on TC. It's staggering to think that some on here don't understand the concept of your point 2.

What absolute crap.My nephew is due over with his two young sons 11 and 8 for their first home game in a long time and are sitting as close as they can to me where they could get their tickets for.They shouldn’t have to be concerned about where they sit.The reality is stadiums should not be a place where idiots are allowed to get away with anything like the above and anyone even remotely defending it because it “ happens” is no better than them in my opinion.
We are sadly seeing a return to the bad old days of fan ( sic) violence and I am old enough to remember how BAD that was.
Youngsters are the next generation of our fans, as with all clubs, and as such we should be encouraging their attendance not making excuses for the behaviour of some so called fans as it appears some on here are prone to do.
Rival banter is fine but physical or similar violence such as missile throwing simply isn’t.
 
Not always safe in Family stand...two blokes squaring off when Middlesbrough scored..eventually after long consideration one was escorted out only for the other to follow him down the exit
 
Sadly, I can't see safe standing being allowed at our ground any time soon as that will give the Chav element more mobility and scope to cause more problems.

not crap at all. Of course they shouldn't have to be concerned with where they sit but that's the theory, the reality is sadly somewhat different. I'm not making any excuses whatsoever, that behaviour should simply not happen and the stewards and police should clamp down on it much harder than they do. But people can witter on all day about it, it won't change the reality that it happens. And parents with young children, elderly relatives etc should know that and be aware of their surroundings and what's happening in order to avoid the situations of fans clashing inside the ground.. This situation is not new at all and has been going on for years so as a parent and in my case a grandparent I take responsibility for my grandson to ensure that where we sit is in a safe environment. As I said on the other thread, I wouldn't choose to sit in the North Stand at BR because it simply isn't suitable for a seven year old. It really doesn't take much thinking about that to sit just a couple of yards from where opposition fans are sitting that it is likely to be a flashpoint area. As for last sunday, how many people chose to sit in their designated seats. Not one steward told me I had to sit in my designated seatd and when I entered the stadium about 14:45 there were still plenty of seats together to choose from.
 
Did you sit in your designated seat then?, when you bought the ticket did you know where it was situated?, did you do a risk assessment before you travelled as to what flash points may happen in the particular area where you were sat?, what about the car park?, did you assess if this was safe?, or the train?, did you travel on this?, could you pre assess if there was going to be drunken thugs in your carage?I can hazard a guess you went to the game on your own, and only had to look out for yourself.

20’s it isn’t a particular rant against you it is just I am fed up with the fact society and especially the powers that be as a whole seem afraid to tackle this sought of problem and much worse allowing the situation to continue to get worse and the mindless idiots etc to carry on without any kind of punitive action.

I don't see how you can argue that the bad behaviour shouldn't happen, and yet somehow claim that innocent bystanders share some of the blame for allowing themselves to get caught up with it. Youre sense of morality is all over the place.

When you go to concert or the theatre, do you consider all these things before booking a seat? of course you don't because the people going to these things know how to behave and misconduct wouldn't be tolerated. Why should football be different?

I fully realise that bleach. I've simply been trying to separate theory from reality.

Not saying you should share some of the blame at all. I'm simply saying that you are stupidly naive if you choose to sit in an area where there is likely to be conflict. And thats what oneofthe bigboys chose to do. He needed to be more aware of what was likely to happen and then move. And if you don't recognise the reality that there is a difference between a football match and the theatre then yep you are incredibly naive. It shouldn't be that way of course but you struggle to grasp the reality of the fact that it is. It's nothing to do with a sense of morality at all. It's about the reality of not putting your children in harms way. And that is far more important that a sense of morality. I'd seriously suggest your lack of judgement here. But like i previously said, think you are nothing more than a WUM. Perhaps your mate OOTBB is too.

As long as people like you condone it by ignoring it, it will always be the same. Your part of the problem. And OOTBB isn't my "mate" it is pretty arrogant for you to think anyone who disagrees with you must just be on a wind up. Ever considered you might be wrong?

i don't ignore it, I simply make sure I NEVER put myself or my family in harms way. Which to be blunt is pretty easy to do. That's not being wrong. It's called good parenting.
 
Sorry lads 20’s is not condoning bad behaviour, he is just being realistic.
My point & I think his to a point is as a parent you have a primary responsibility to your young families safety first, before spouting out making your “macho stands” from behind a keyboard.🚌🚢🧡
