Serious assault on an elderly Blue

[Tim of the Oak]

You saw this?

Did you alert any nearby police or at least keep an eye on the culprit to potentially identify the prick.

I think seeing on older bloke get hit from behind (blue or not) would have boiled my piss to the extent that I'd not have been able to control myself. I'd have made enough fuss that have alerted the police to the situation.

Watching an ambulance go past after witnessing an assault wouldn't make me feel good.

The Blue has just said he was with 2 young kids.

Unfortunately this event is an example of what will be significantly more wide scale violence against women, kids and pensioners at Wembley

You’re right. We need to stick together and look out for other blues because the rags are like Leeds. No rules on who they go for!

It’s obviously been taken down now as it says tweet unobtainable..

Yes, M33 did it himself - post #119 - which was completely the right thing to do because the last thing any of us would want is for this twat to walk at his trial because his brief says he can’t have a fair trial because his picture is all over twitter

That wasn't apparent at the time of my response.

Thankfully another blue had an opportunity to bring the culprit to the attention of the police and the prick will hopefully get banned from football for a while.

Shortly after the match Vs Leeds, after a short exchange with opposition supporters, an older- I’m guessing 62-70 year old - shirt wearing City supporter was attacked by supporters of Leeds United after today’s match.
It happened virtually outside the stadium, close to the to the south stand, on Ashton New Rd.
Whilst not in possession of all the facts, what I saw with my own eyes was said older City supporter get hit by a Leeds supporter from behind. The Blue cracked his head against a bus on his way down and his head also smacked the tarmac on the road.
The ambulance that had obviously picked the guy up went past us further down ANR.
Thoughts are with the assaulted Blue. Any news appreciated.

Hope he's alright. Leeds have always had a certain type of fan that is capable of this sort of thing let's just say.

There’s so many younger ones doing it now too. I imagine social media is all over it and they’re trying to out do each other.

Protected Twitter accounts have gone for me a few times before. @dg_lfc posing with his three mates in their one designer outfit does a quote tweet reply and about seventeen of them wade in.

Everything they post is evidence. Their lives will amount to nothing.

Disappointed but not surprised considering Leeds fans in the away section were giving it large to us all game rather than watching their own team play.

Oh yes I’m sorry I hadn’t got down as far as the post where he said that. Sorry. :-)
I’ve deleted it :-)

Having seen their team 'play', I don't blame them.
