What the fuck?

What utter cunts.

Well fucking great. The soap-opera just got a whole lot better. It's really becoming quite embarrassing to be a Swindon Town fan at the moment. Proper cunts indeed.

Seriously? unfuckingbelievable.

What a marvellous season this is turning out to be. Shit on the pitch, cunts in the stands and useless staff trying to run it all.

We're a fucking omnishambles.

That's fucking appalling. Hope the shitheads responsible are found and prosecuted. Don't piss about with banning orders.

Agree because banning them is hardly a penance currently.

absolutely disgraceful. worst kind of 'fan' not needed at the cg. prosecute.

No prizes for guessing where that little nugget came from.

Disgusting, no matter how bad it gets on the pitch, absolutely no excuse to use violence on family. Vile.

couldn't believe that one.

I'm surprised they weren't collared by the stewards when it happened, then handed to the police inside the ground. Sure sounds like it wouldn't have gone unnoticed

I'm genuinely at a loss?

fb group special.

to be honest they aren't all like that

To be fair, I did single out an individual comment that was not in line with the rest. Yet, still, I'm not surprised that I happened to find it at that particular source.

Of course this if true is bang out of order, however it's a symptom of how pissed off fans are atm, and will only get worse, as the season deteriorates.

Something similar made Steve McMahon go in 1998. I am sure his son got abuse at a kid's game. Not condoning the behaviour in any means but these situations can bring out extreme reactions especially with a derby game which can bring all sorts out of the woodwork.

With all these phones about I'm surprised there's no footage of what happened.

Isn't there CCTV?

Hopefully we can see what really happened and those guilty get identified.

These situations? What! Your chosen football club are a bit shit so you choose to deck someone who's son works for them.

Hardly a result of the situation is it. More just another result of some of our fans being cunts.

By situations you have emotions running high after a derby game and someone or more than one person can't handle that like an ordinary rational person and resorts to violence. That would make them a cunt though.

Sorry reg, out of order from you. Why or how should it get worse? It's fucking football and no one should expect any sort of physical attack due to a poxy game.

If Ross's mother was assaulted, there can be NO excuse and I hope all this is investigated by the police and prosecutions follow if warranted. 

No excuse for shit like this, Derby games bring all the neanderthals out of the woodwork, ones I used to see in the TE in the late 70s/80s, trouble is they still think and act the same as then.

Do find it odd in this day and age where everybody films everything it's taken nearly a week to surface tho, and on the same day as town are pilloried on Talksport  :hmmm:

Pretty sure there is cctv in the arkells concourse too so should only be a matter of time before they named and shamed.

I smell bullshit

But if only his Dad got twatted, that's excusable?

In all fairness, Sam Parkin saw something happen from the top of the stand and the first chance he got to establish exactly what went on was at yesterday's press conference.

The Adver (for once) correctly reports this as "alleged" and no independent corroboration is set out.

The report implies that Ross's Dad admitted "remonstrating" with his assailant.  It is not beyond imagination that an exchange escalated and that Ross's Dad reacted to further abuse and in fact initiated a physical assault but came off worse.  In that type of situation calling for a steward would be the correct solution but an assault might (to a degree) be excusable, yes.

If the allegation is claimed to be as clearcut as reported by LW then IMO the Police should be called in to independently  investigate.  Personally I'm not ready on the basis of the allegation to pick up my pitchfork but I am concerned for Mum, whatever the circumstances.

I actually have no idea who that is.. still, not great publicity eh?

You don't know that Ross Embleton is the assistant manager of Swindon Town?

Swindon fans in behaving like cunts shocker

Fixed it for you. Cunts, cunts everywhere.
Thankfully 99% of people aren't cunts, 99% of Swindon fans are as appalled by this.

I dunno, a lot of our fans are idiots

I do now.

99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd

Idiots and cunts are different things though
