City fan, 63, attacked by Brugge fans | Invited to Etihad by club (p 27)

Adding my best wishes to him and his family, nobody should have to face this kind of situation in modern football.

Whilst we don't know the details on the motivation, other than his city scarf was involved (it may not be actual Brugge supporters, for example), I think whoever did do this is probably now looking at being charged with attempted murder, hopefully.

No. Does he need to.

I don’t know about you but I would rather have the support whilst I was alive and kicking.

no but I'd rather it be supporting him by chanting his name.

To the tune of heres to you VK, if they play that back to him you never know, subconcious and all that.

Something like that yeah.

 

[Ghost of 76]

Has he passed away?

Exactly! Why the 63rd minute, when we're willing him to live on much longer? Surely we can come up with something more creative.

We don't know what happened, it sounded like one punch from what was written this morning which is no longer on the thread, I'm not sure how you stop that.

Also we don't know that if it was a sustained attack that any of them didn't try and stop the perp or perps.

I wouldn't judge yet, and as for claiming they are all guilty joint enterprise as someone else did, what a load of bollocks. If they all planned to attack someone then fair enough, not just for being in the vicinity when something happens and knowing people.

Not saying they are at all equally culpable, my point is merely that to stand around whilst “mates” act like cunts, be it violence, racism etc, is shithouse behaviour, in my view

The thing is, is they’re mates together for a reason. Same with any ‘firm’ over here. They’re not sat sniffing coke together only for one to punch someone, and the other to walk away shaking his head in disapproval.

Hopefully these animals all get some serious jail time.

When that poor Liverpool fan was attacked by Roma fans the press was rightly disgusted, wall to wall coverage. Barely a mention of our poor chap.Get well soon lad we're all rooting for you.

It’s in almost every outlet if you search it. The family probably want some privacy hence nothing to report. I keep looking hoping for some good news.

FWIW, we had great support from the Belgium Blues at the game. Praying for a speedy recovery for Guido.
