Sevilla Goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic Attacked in Europa League Game.

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Yet another goalkeeper gets attacked in a football game.
Thursday night's Europa league game, PSV Eindhoven v Sevilla in which PSV won 2-0
but lost 2-3 on aggregate.
In the closing stages of the game a PSV fan ran onto the pitch & attacked Sevilla G/K
Marko Dmitrovic, hitting him in the face with a punch, but Dmitrovic managed to
wrestle the invader to the ground, held him there until stewards took him away.
Marko Dmitrovic said, " He was probably angry about the result, & a bit crazy already,
he tried to hit me & I managed to grab him, & wait for security ".

I think Dmitrovic is trying to soften the incident, in saying he tried to hit me, while
actually a punch landed in his face.

What next, some idiot with a knife, I would think more security needs to be behind the
goalkeepers area, to deter idiots getting to a player.

The 20 year old PSV fan who attacked Sevilla g/k Marko Dmitrovic in a Europa league game,
has been given a 3 month prison sentence, with 1 month suspended.

More information -
Turns out the fan who attacked the Sevilla g/k was already serving a National Stadium ban until 2026, imposed by the
Dutch Football Association, but entered the ground at the PSV v Sevilla Europa league game, with a ticket bought for
him by a friend.
He was already banned from being anywhere near the Philips Stadium, when PSV play home matches for next 2 years.

Verdict - Complete idiot, common sense should have told him to keep a low profile, seeing he was already banned.

UEFA are investigating the attack.

40 year stadium ban. He'll be back at the age 60 which is still fairly young for a modern day hooligan

He was already banned from European stadium's. Obv makes no difference.
I would give his mate who bought the ticket the same fine and ban him

[flourbasher]

He'll move house in time and his appearance will change when he gets older.
He could change his name too
He could be asked to report to a police station for every matchday in Europe for the next 40 years though at the taxpayers expense

As mentioned above it's impossible to impose the ban. He'll be back

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Thanks for that CAMiller -

Thinking though he was banned for 2 years from being anywhere near the Phillips Stadium, yet
still managed to get a ticket, it will be hard to enforce.
He could grow a beard, grow his hair, shave his head, anything possible, even plastic surgery

One way of stopping him going to a game, could be the authorities putting a tag on him, on match days.

Verdict - The fan needs a brain transplant.

Or - Has Grist might say, " The fan needs a brain first, to be able to have a transplant ".

I'm sick of saying these so-called stadium bans are a joke because there's nothing to stop a friend buying tickets for anyone in that situation and there you have the evidence.
