I want to add some balance to the views of others,and reporting of " the incident " at the end of the game.
I was stood next to the lad who was extremely upset by the match referees performance.
I do not condone or excuse what he did.
He shouted some abuse at Mr Child's and threw some water at him,no more no less. He was told by another fan to go and leave,which he tried to do,but was blocked by a female steward. The CEO saw the incident,and mouthed to the steward to get him out. She insisted on preventing him from leaving and as a result they both fell to the ground as a result of him trying to push past her. The lad tried to leave again,but was then accused by her of assault.
I was amazed to read that the club had people who were distressed as a result of witnessing the incident.
As I said I do not condone what the lad did,but it really was a a problem that should have been resolved by a large dose of common sense by the steward.
Before anyone comments,I do not know any of the people involved and have no axe to grind.
