Thoughts and best wishes for lad and his family. So sad, should never happen at a football match

Does anyone know If there is a crowdfunding page set up to support his family ? I remember about 11 years ago when another City fan was seriously injured in Germany after falling down the stairs at a train station ,the support from City fans and the club was absolutely fantastic

 

[Hes the left back remember]

Back on track( no more tails of fight experiences please), best wishes to the lad and his family lets all hope for the best.
Come on Blue!

Fucking tragic on every level.

Hope our fellow Blue pulls through and goes on to watch us win the Quad.

No doubt we have a dickhead element just like any other club but is anyone seriously comparing throwing plastic glasses of beer to what appears to be a totally unprovoked attack on a City fan who is in a critical condition? Last time I checked, a plastic pint pot of beer has never come close to causing that kind of damage to anyone. Try going to a gig where that kind of shit goes on far more than it did last night and sometimes it isn’t beer that’s getting launched.

Personally, I thought the mood in the away end last night turned for the worse when that Schalke fan threw a pint of beer at De Bruyne in the second half.

As much as I love my trips to Germany and never personally had an issue with Schalke fans - Christ, I had a right laugh with them a couple of years ago when myself and the other half were travelling from Munich to Salzburg and we ended up on a train full of Schalke fans who were off to their Europa League game in Salzburg that night - let’s also not forget that the last time we played them in 2008, a tram with some stragglers was attacked by their hooligans at a random station.

I actually think we’re one of the better behaved sets of fans when it comes to European away trips when you consider how much alcohol gets consumed. I didn’t see an ounce of trouble on Tuesday night in Düsseldorf - just hundreds and hundreds of blues partying well into the early hours.

Anyway, I really hope this guy pulls through. No-one should ever go to a football match and not come home.

Spot on mate, these young city fans might be annoying but their behaviour doesn't even come close to the moronic Schalke fan/s who committed this terrible act.

Spot on mate.

Yes sorry for going off subject

This has rather soured the anticipated joy at going to Wembley on Sunday for me. I wonder if the lads family are OK with releasing his name, we could all let him know we are all with him with an appropriate chant / round of applause during the match ( or even better at the end if we have won ) You never know, if it's replayed to him, it might help in a tiny way to get him to pull through ?

Nobody should go to a football match and leave fighting for their life. In my thoughts blue.
