if the stories are correct that the guy who died attacked the pub and tried to kick someone in the head , got twatted and died , i feel more sorry for the guy that twatted him if he was just having an after match pint.It's the modern world. Equally, although the evidence doesn't look great as to why he was at the scene, we shouldn't assume he was there for trouble.
I heard the Burnley fan arrested and released on bail is a straight goer with Burnley and England and not a hooligan. Early days yet, still a stupid needless loss of life.

Maybe they were defending themselves ? The story seems to be the deceased and others went looking for trouble and started it.Have they found the brainless morons yet?
I reserve that phrase for our brave soldiers.He paid the ultimate price.
got a link on PM pls?I've since seen a video of the incident. It looks like it's shot from across the road and on my phone hard to make out individuals. About 15-20 blokes fighting outside the pub. The usual back and forth, wild kicks and punches, shoving and it looks like at least one glass thrown. One guy gets hit and goes down out cold and lies motionless. A few start attending to him then the video stops. I would imagine this was the victim. It looked like just one punch and I didn't see any kicks or stamps, the bloke was obviously unconscious. He was definitely in the thick of the trouble. Senseless and tragic.
He paid the ultimate price for his stupidity, I should have said.I reserve that phrase for our brave soldiers.
He goes to the matches and is a well known face. Well known in The Armfield Club on Bloomfied Rd. Blackpool has a group of fans called The Muckers who I believe he is involved with as well. Think Muckers are similar to our 1894 group as oppose to hooligans.The narrative seems to have changed from a completely innocent grandfather murdered in cold blood to a fully paid up member of Blackpool’s firm paying the price for his lifestyle.
I’ve no idea what the lead up to the incident was. It’s perfectly possible that they could be a group of lads on the piss, stumbling across some away fans. Followed by some verbals and what that led to.
From the Twitter footage, it looks like the sort of incident that would be followed by a hundred comments of “handbags” without the tragic ending.
I doubt anybody on here knows if he was in the game or not. It’s irrelevant anyway. A bloke is dead.

Like has been said earlier he certainly doesn't look like an innocent party in the video.
