Assault, Mayflower gate

Throw back to the 70s hardly. One punch argument over nothing I bet your live an interesting life🤫

 

[area51]

One idiot out of 13,000 throw back to the 70s.
One thing though I don’t agree with hitting people with glasses🤓

People have died from a single punch, I hope this guy is identified and banned.

Hang on a minute are you saying fans should stay seated when Argyle score?

I'm with Area 51, the day that's accepted it's the day I stay away as well.

It's football not a vicar's tea party!

I was evicted from our vicar's tea party.

Some of the replies here seem a bit OTT. Maybe I look at the world a bit differently but talking about football going back to 70s because of a couple of slaps illustrates my point about OTT replies.

 

[Crinnis boy]

The day I cannot stand up and cheer a goal or a penalty will be the day I retire to my rocking chair.

 

[leeroy221]

I probably could have worded it better. It was more in relation to standing all the time and it was certainly not advocating sitting down when we score 😂

It only takes one idiot to start a war, Ukraine is a classic example of that.

Bizarre answer 😕

I'm saying fans should have respect and expect to be respected. Area 51 has history of defending every daft and dangerous bits of fan behaviour we have seen since lock-down. His follow up "punch" posts back it up. Stand up when we score but why deny the view of the act of scoring to those who are also trying to enjoy their day and may, for whatever reason, visible or not, not be able to stand themselves or see over someone who is.

I suspect many who have commented do not know the full story of the incident anyway. Rarely are events like this black and white.

And you Mr Pedlar have a long history of being judge and jury call yourself an administrator get real. It’s a football match people stand get over it.

 

[justanotherfan]

It’s called being a fan do you want us just to sit and clap when we score🤪if that day ever comes then that will be it for me

Bring it on.

Can’t see what the problem is. People stand at football it’s called passion.

There’s a young lad in Falmouth who is completely paralysed after his brother had thrown one punch at him, the only part of his body that he can control now is his eyes. One second of madness two lives completely destroyed.

 

[The Doctor]

Surely the real issue here isn’t whether people sometimes stand at football matches, whether that’s occasionally for a goal or a penalty or for longer periods. It’s that someone felt the need to use physical violence and throw a punch. That‘s simply not acceptable or appropriate in any way.

(As far as the standing is concerned, if this was persistent during the game rather than being a natural response to get up in moments of excitement, why wasn’t this addressed by the stewards at the time?)
