Supporter Dies as a result of thuggery

[lancaster100]

It is totally unacceptable for a football fan to lose his life after attending a football match. I have no knowledge of the circumstances of what happened or why this happened but there is no occasion when this can be considered acceptable. I do not know who provoked whom but bottom line this is thuggery at its very worst and whoever was involved should be ashamed of themselves. I suppose I will get slated on this forum for my opinion but I stand by anything contained therein. If the person or persons are identified they should have the book thrown at them and jailed accordingly.

Hard to disagree with your reaction lancaster100, however it seems that Burnley fans had been congregating in the Manchester pub from as early as 10.00am.

If you know the location it's a ten minute walk from Bloomfield Road and a lot of Burnley fans went back post-match.

Questions to be answered:
1). Why did door security allow them in?
2). Where were the local constabulary?
3). When Blackpool fans came looking for a bit of bother why did the police or door security not intervene before the fight took place?

By all accounts the chap who died was amongst the Blackpool fans who came intent on a bit of bother.

Sadly, he got it.

I don't know the circumstances neither Lancaster BUT as sad as it is, which it is very sad, we surely cannot blame thuggery yet? Imagine you being threatened right up to the point where you feel you're going to have physical aggression against you. You have to protect your self and are allowed by law. I won't be accusing any one of thuggery until the full picture is clear.

I know one or two of the lads who were there at the time of the aggro. Best left for the police and "authorities" to factualise what went on methinks.

It's quite possible the person deceased was also a thug, how does it work then ?

When the truth outs it will not suit the narrative mon ami. A close friend of mine was in that pub on Saturday night and let's just say the Lashers knew who and how many Burnley lads were in there at that time.

My nan used to have a great little saying, "It takes two to Tango". Just saying.

I am sorry untinted but your glasses are being tinted. As seems to be the case a fight broke out who started it - who knows but how that is not thuggery beggars belief

My glasses tainted by wanting to see the evidence first

Basically its the law, you are allowed a preemptive strike. If I am about to be struck I'll be striking the other guy first, should he fall and bang his head, so be it

Mine was a very diplomatic answer, yours was guilty before any evidence. Thank god your not a judge, Jesus, Never mind judge Judy be afraid of Judge Lancy
