Agree with the latter part - but a bit fergiescum RVP with the start.
I thought that when I wrote it but I looked at it again and the father is out of control in the middle of a melee only holding him with one hand while throwing punches with the other. If he loses his balance and falls, especially forward the kid is in big trouble, especially if the dad falls on him.
The whole incident is being blown out of all proportion, get a fucking grip of yourselves, three quarters of you obviously never went to football in the late 60s and 70s and 80s
I did and I rarely saw kids that young at a match never mind being carried into a melee like that with a fucking dummy in its mouth. Also football has supposedly moved on a bit from those days when almost every game involved a punch up somewhere along the line. Just because it wasn't as bad as a big tear up on the terraces doesn't somehow absolve the behaviour.
Football fans are basically the biggest idiots and scumbags in this country. Glad I don't go to football matches anymore.
If you think that why are you on a football forum lol? That is bollocks because when you consider the millions that go to football every week the total number of incidents are probably fewer than an average Friday night in any town or city in the country.

This isn't the 60, 70s or 80s though is it? There were less children as young as that one at football matches then, there were less women at football matches then. We have moved on hopefully and people can normally go to watch a match knowing they are not going to see that sort of behaviour, either from fans or players.

You obviously never went to the front of the Kippax then, or sat with relatives and friends on the planks in the Platt Lane
No it's not the 70s but it's still being blown out of all proportions by our lilly livered media trying to sensationalise anything trivialThis isn't the 60, 70s or 80s though is it?

Haha THROWING PUNCHES, what a load of cobblers, he ruffled the keepers hair at most, stop trying to make it look like WW3 is about to commenceI thought that when I wrote it but I looked at it again and the father is out of control in the middle of a melee only holding him with one hand while throwing punches with the other.

Fuck me you are good at telling people what they have and haven't done at football matches. I said LESS children as YOUNG as that, he was what two at the most with a dummy in his mouth? Of course there were kids at matches I was one once lol! My first game as 1968 and I have stood and sat in all parts of Maine Road including the Gene Kelly stand.
How was Babes in the Woods at the Opera House, did you screw your monacle in or take your Opera glasses, what a wussFootball fans are basically the biggest idiots and scumbags in this country. Glad I don't go to football matches anymore.

Just after it happened there was a video where he was throwing one handed punches, the later videos are at the end of the melee where it does indeed look like he just lunged once. Yourself and others can try to make out it wasn't a bad incident in comparison to the 60/70/80's, which incidentally I was there then too, obviously it wasn't in comparison but it was putting his kid in danger that way and no amount of trotting out " What a load of cobblers, not as bad as the old days, stop blowing it out of proportion" will alter my view on that.
Will you be satisfied if social services take his kid off him?Just after it happened there was a video where he was throwing one handed punches, the later videos are at the end of the melee where it does indeed look like he just lunged once.

Can't see that anyone is defending him, there's nothing to defend. I think there is more of a reaction to the over-reaction.Are people defending the bell end with the kid?

@Machiavelli is correct from what I saw, it appeared to be Williams fault. If he hadn't pushed the goalkeeper the way he did then the other players wouldn't rushed over and the fans wouldn't have got involved. However, if you have a child, especially one that young, you have a duty of care.
I see Everton have banned him for life now and some commentators on the radio are saying that is an over reaction. What about all the other fans who were involved? The man with the child can easily be identified I guess but what is going to happen to the rest. Just wondering.

I think the over reaction is he is holding a child young enough to still have a dummy in his mouth. If he was in the crowd without the kid I don't think many would be as arsed
