Banned for throwing some pastry? What a puff

'Football match? It were City and United!'

The quote comes from that old film, The Love Match, in which Arthur Askey finds himself before the Magistrate for throwing a pie at the referee during a Derby match.

LOL

Come on, which one of you was it?

Obviously not condoning this but a three year ban?! Knowing the pies at City it won't have even been hot.

The thing is, the policing at City is woefully inept, there used to be 2 lines of police enclosing the away fans, now it's about 6 of them for the last 10 minutes which leaves the stewards left to it and that's not their job. I'm on the barrier, I always have to wear a big winter coat with a giant hood for champs league home games to stop the sheer amount of shite launched from the away end from doing any damage, the away fans don't even try to hide themselves when they start throwing whatever they can and nothing is ever done about it.

If the guys thrown it unprovoked he deserves the ban, but throwing something back after it's smashed into your face as he's claiming, come on, you have to be lenient on that, the small fine and a few games ban would suffice.

many years ago I was in the Stratford end for a derby game - got a ticket outside from a tout. City scored to make it 1-1 and I jumped up. It Felt like I was in the air for ages as I thought "that was a bad idea..." - I landed and a pie hit me on the back of the head. Despite there being 26000 in there I turned round to see who did it. On turning round and seeing a sea of thousands I thought it best to sidle off to the left where I saw a copper. I don't think the guy got 3 years for hitting me.
If memory serves me right it was meat and potato, which is my favourite. Just not always when it is covered in hair from the back of my head

When you were in the Stratford end, was the guy next to you a certain Mr. William Shakespeare by any chance ??

You can all laugh, but this is how Ernie died, and I quote..........

The concrete hardened crust
of a stale pork pie
caught him in the eye
and Ernie bit the dust.
