It takes a bigger person to walk away from trouble but that is exactly what anyone should do at the first sign of it. Its just not worth it. Everyone has a mobile phone and is filming every famous person out there looking for a story. We dont know what happened previous to the video but closing the door and calling security if possible would have been the safest option. Taking these people on verbally and then starting a shoving match which can and does escalate is not the right choice. The thing that no-one knows and is most frightening is; 1. Who are the antagonisers? 2. What do they want? 3. Are they carrying weapons? 4. How many are there? Two bigger guys suddenly appear in the doorway before it gets out of hand and it doesnt look like they get involved but that wasn't known at the time. Its really sad how a young footballer cannot go out for a night with his family but sometimes, some people are all about the drama. So its important where you go and who your going with. If you haven’t got a plan then you are part of someone elses unfortunately. Personally I'd stick to having a few drinks in a quiet pub/restaurant with a group of people that you trust. Going to a huge place, where there are hundreds of people you don't know, is a nightmare waiting to happen. Concentrate on the football. Leave the drama to others.
