Spurs fan in Colin bell and the minute's silence

[blue44]

During the minute's silence a lone voice( which sounded Irish to me) bellowed out ' come on spurs!' from somewhere in the Colin bell stand. Noone reacted to it, which is usually how these things get out of hand :One idiot and 200 people shouting 'shhhhhhhhh'. I was fleetingly glad this hadn't happened and then forgot all about it.

At half time as I had a drink I heard a kerfuffle down the concourse. A pack of
Blues appeared to be shouting at some huge lump of a guy who was trying to walk past and ignore them. There was a bit of pushing and it all was a bit confusing. 3 or 4 minutes later there was another kerfuffle, this time I was nearer. A huge, bearded guy was being escorted by stewards from the stand. He had a spurs hat on. Again, people had rounded on him and I realised what was going on; he was the one who destroyed the minute's silence and the good old citizens of the Colin bell upper tier were throwing the prick out. Everyone was shouting 'you disrespectful bastard' in his face as he has to walk the walk of shame down the concourse.

Anyone else see this incident?

i sit in 234 in the north stand close to the corner with colin bell,i deffo heard a irish voice saying come on spurs,i fealt that it came from 1 of the hospitality boxes,probably felt more safe shouting it in one of them as opposed to in general seats,totally utterly disgraceful,like u said no-one reacted during the minutes silence thank god

I'm in CBL3. Only thing I heard were people on the concourse who hadn't taken their place and prob weren't aware the minutes silence . Didn't hear that. Was it in hospitality?

Quality! I sit in the same stand as Dids and Mr Ewing!!

Anyway, whilst I saw the numpty being led away, I didn't think he was that big?

Also I heard someone shout "come on Blues" in the middle of the silence. However, in mitigation, City Ladies were playing at mini CoMS and you could hear them shouting (ie the noise from their game travelled), plus a loud ref's whistle just before the lad shouts "come on Blues", so in fairness it was probably a reaction to that whistle. Easy mistake to make I reckon.

The important thing is, I sit in the same stand as the two Daves! :)

Correct! The only thing more important is an Agueroooooooooooooo goal on 93!

You can't force your ideals on somebody, I thought we were living in a free world

And why do we live in a free world?

Because Mrs Thatcher re-took the Falklands. That's why.

Pity they didn't get hold of him

I'm not sure that they can do much about individuals like this.

I do think they should do more about trying to minimise the noise from the concourse. Stop people from entering the ground, make an announcements over the tellies etc. It wasnt that bad yesterday, but was a problem at West Ham last week. Made City fans look bad.

Noise in the Colin bell stand. Can't be true.

Some of us in the CBL1 still shout (not during the silence I hasten to add). In fact I got laughed at (in a nice way) today when I was doing the YaYa/Kolo song with the people over in the corner of the East Stand because I was doing the actions as well and not a soul around me was doing it!! A bit embarrassing I can tell you!! :-)

You weren't on your own. I was doing it as well and also got laughed at. it was my missus that was doing the giggling at the pair of us:-)

Oh, sorry, that's what comes of sitting on the front row, can't see behind me. :-) It was Jed's fault I thought he was pointing to the people laughing, he must have been pointing at the pair of us. Keep it up, we will get them all singing eventually.

Why was he allowed in the home stand anyway - I thought supporters for the away team were ejected if in home seats.

Fantastic!!! How ironic that the poster seems to miss this!
Not having a go just thought if ever there was a definition of irony this would be it!

I doff my hat young sir.

Though I feel the simplicity of your reply will be lost on them.
