As I have posted on another thread the fan who threw the coin was arrested, the fan who threw the bottle legged it out immidiately but should expect a knock on his door shortly as his seat number was taken.
Egyptian said:You are right. But it seems Bellamy got hurt as it hit him in the head and he couldn´t take the corner. Allso a bottle was thrown there.IrishMacca said:And the lighter that hit Evra? As bad as the coin. We can't have one fined and punished without the other.

I wish to bring to your attention the disgraceful incident occurred to night at Old Trafford when I clearly saw on TV at least three coins (or similar) and two bottles (seemingly glass) thrown by fans of Manchester United at the Manchester City player Craig Bellamy.
This incident is all the worse because of the lamentable lack of action that you took against the Management and Executives and the Club based at Old Trafford after the last fixture against Manchester City when coins stuck the City player Garrido and a fan invaded the pitch.
This incident is also that much worse because it had a direct outcome on the game that must be not be allowed to stand. Two of the coins struck Bellamy on the head rendering him unable to take the corner as he moved away dazed and shocked.
The resultant corner taken by another City player was cleared by United and a matter of seconds later the ball was in the City net.
None of this would have happened but for the coin and bottle throwing incident that had a direct bearing on the result of the game. Unless you take draconian action you will be handing the outcome of matches at Old Trafford and maybe elsewhere to the yobs and hooligans that attend Old Trafford:
I call upon you, The FA, to take immediate and serious action that includes, but is not limited to the following:
1 ... declare the result of tonight's match as invalid due to out side interference and record a score for the record of nil nil (0-0) thus putting Man City through to the League Cup Final.
2 ... close Old Trafford to spectators for 28 days with effect from the date of their next home match thus providing a safe venue for the opposing teams.
3 ... impose a further fine on Manchester United of £1,000,000 for their repeated failure to control their fans and warn them as to their future conduct.
4 ... call in the GMP to review all the available evidence to find and prosecute the offenders for Common Assault (or worse) on Bellamy.
5 ... determine how bottles, be they glass or plastic, were allowed on to the spectator area at Old Trafford and punish United for this further offence.
I shall pass this email to reputable media outlets overnight and look forward to hearing from you very soon.
