Were Bristol City giving out free scarfs for tonight game?  Because they are all wearing the same style scarf!  I noticed that. I watched the last half an hour or so. Thought BCFC played really well and the atmosphere sounded electric. In the end the class and quality of Man City shone through. Have to say Ashton Gate did look impressive full last night. |

Khan got 5 games because it was a repeat offence (the retrospective counts as a red, on top of previous). |

But he got a retrospective red card for a shove, whereas the Charlton player got a yellow for throwing a punch, and because he got a card from the ref it won’t be changed. |

Not saying the Charlton one is right, saying the Khan one is not wrong - he got 5 games for more than one thing. |

The 5 game ban is mandatory for a third red card, just questioning whether it should have been a red, considering the two incidents since, yellow cards in the Spurs/Chelsea and now for Charlton |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-64861231Don't know the context of the fight and the persons involved but obviously no one should ever go to a football match and not come home. Be careful out there lads, lasses and everyone else. As many will know, sometimes you don't even have to be ''involved'' to get caught up in something totally unprovoked. The less said about those who go purely just for a punch up the better; never understood that kind of Darwin award mentality...maybe their lives are just that shit but there's definitely other ways of getting the adrenaline going; some of them should take up base jumping - without the parachute.

Was having a conversation about this yesterday with someone about not getting invloved. Certainly if it kicks off in a pub I retreat to a safe distance/go elsewhere, though I could see you could easily get caught up accidentally. But what about inside the ground? Would you say something if someone was being out of order (e.g. racist). The answer we all think we'd give is "yes, of course". e.g. I was at Notts County a few years ago and it must have been around remembrance day. There was a group of our "specials" there and while I think the minutes silence was observed the rest of the proceedings were met with "Tommy Robinson" chants. I told them to shut the fuck up, a few minutes later a couple of hardy looking souls sat behind me - I don't know if they were part of the group of moving away from the group. You'd hope pure racism (e.g.) would be less tolerated by the crowd I still bottled it though and switched to 'football only' comments. |

When ‘flight or fight’ kicks in for me it’s always ‘flight’ that wins. Not much use really as I’m a big heavy guy! The only time I have experienced both at football was watching Coventry vs Spurs at Highfield Road in the 80s. Charged by Spurs fans, I, and hundreds others move swiftly from the halfway line away from the rampaging hordes. Then, we were stuck and couldn’t escape. I remember having a moment of clarity of purpose and pure rage. I turned and was ready to fight the world. It lasted a few seconds until I realised that those coming towards me were kids. I started walking back towards my seat and came across ‘pwopper’ naughty boys fighting. I just sat down and let them get on with it - so pleased that I wasn’t part of it……Totally bizarre feelings that I didn’t like at the time, but have stuck in my mind for over 40 years!

I hate all the needless violence shit and it's sad when someone innocent ends up hurt or worse.
I got caught up in this.....
Not involved obviously, just happened to get to the ground at the wrong moment. Best thing I could do in that situation, was to stand with my back against a wall. At least you can see what is coming at you. Especially those horses. It passed and I had to get through a police cordon, got grabbed by a copper but he realised I wasn't part of the problem. This was pre match.

That would have been a familiar scene outside the County Ground hotel / Burden Electronics in the mid 70's through to late 80's

Don't forget Cudmore's shop. I took refuge in there on one occasion when Bristol City were in town ! |
