Liverpool fans throwing missiles from South Stand Level 3

I know football forums can attract some of the weirdest elements of a fan base (present company excluded, of course), but a quick scan of theirs seems to show that a few spent their whole Christmas day painfully putting up a case for why injuring a teenage girl, and possibly scaring her off football for good, was actually Pep Guardiola's fault for complaining that coins were thrown at him. Fuck me.

It’s worrying. Fact they had nothing better to do all Xmas day probably tells a story. Pitiable but dangerous.

We played them in the semi a couple of years ago didn’t we, without any major issues that I can remember at least.

Can’t remember where they put them or how many they got though.

We both got the usual league allocation that time. We played them in a semi about 12 years ago and both legs were miles worse than last week!

Yeah, I actually find the pyschology of it all (on here as well on their forum) fascinating! And they have some people doing their best to talk them out of their dangerous views, but like you say it's a pretty depressing and telling snapshot of the lives of people who are that far down the rabbit hole.

So 2,999 people per game should have to miss out because of the odd halfwit?

How about the police show some bollocks and sort out the hooligans instead of this softly softly bollocks.

A quick truncheon to the skull and these twats would soon learn to behave.

Coppers would regularly trunction fans back in the day. I remember going to Leeds in the mid 70s on an official supporters club coach. As we got to the car park a cop boarded the coach and trunctioned an old woman and her granddaughter then said- " behave yourself today lads n' you'll be alright". Nasty horrible Yorkshire bastard!

Put yourself in that stewards position - probably on what? £12 an hour?
Would you (on your own) go up and try and deal with him and his hate filled pals?
Even 5 or 6 stewards would be hesitant doing that.
They aren't night club bouncers.
I'd like to think they were able to get a message to the police box so that cameras can be aimed on the culprits so they can be nabbed at a later time.
I suspect even the police would be reluctant to go in up there and take one lad out - and that would be the same for fans from any club not just the Scousers. It's too risky to do that up there (which yes begs the question why put them up there).

Whatever happened to Police filming away fans? I’ve been filmed by Police at a few away grounds. St James’ Park once, they were pointing the camera in my direction for ages, even my mates were laughing at me… I wasn’t even doing owt.

City did that to a feeble extent. They put netting on the first few rows.(so the Scousers could put their silly banners on them, rather than hanging them from the front of the stand) And a couple of stewards were stood at the bottom of the tier. I would assume most of the objects were thrown further back from the stand.

Looks like a case of not enough security to me

I have seen fans evicted after being filmed doing nothing, a lot of the time it is so they can recognise fans with banning orders.

Come on. This isn’t Northern Ireland at the height of the troubles!

If six police went to arrest one fan who threw a flair down into a crowd of city fans they be some arguments but it’s not going to turn into a riot. For fuck sake if six police officers can’t handle a few idiot modern day football fans then god help us.

I think if it's on the lower level I'd agree with you as there would be back up. But up on the 3rd tier? If it all goes wrong there is no way out and if it went further badly wrong someone could go over the edge. Extreme I know but that would be all in the risk assessment.
Identify them on camera and deal with them in a safer environment

Good on Jack Gaughan there. People are injured by things being thrown at footy matches quite regularly and I doubt many clubs ring people up to apologise about it.

A good step forward from Liverpool there. Often it’s anything from silence to denial from them.

Yeah well done, I'm surprised LFC have put their head above the barricades.
 
The Dippers are not committed to finding the perpetrator and never will, they have had several incidents involving our club and have done nothing , its all bullshit for the media , just like the bullshit about their disabled fan of colour being racially abused , to deflect their fans horrendous behavior.
They never provide any proof for the alleged offences towards their club and fans , because it doesnt happen and certainly not to the extent they claim , were as we have proof , a smashed up coach and a fan with a gash in her head , what a low life football club.
Imagine being them , yeah just think about it , imagine being them , a football club with no shame.
