Players should be able to celebrate without fear of being hit with objects from the crowd (incidentally, is trying to take a corner an act of incitement now as well?).
And what about us as supporters? Is it alright for someone to lob a coin or seat at us just because we incited them by celebrating (or sometimes by our mere presence)?
In my opinion the incitement argument is just an excuse for a lack of self control - we should all be big enough to accept responsibility for our actions.
I'm not trying to excuse it or say it's acceptable, but after the Chelsea fans lobbing a chair on the pitch 6 weeks ago when half the team ran up to the MH stand, you would have thought the United players would have known that something could happen.
The sight of Ferdinand with his face covered in blood was not funny. I'd have thought that would be the overwhelming feeling from any football fan on or off any moral high horseDubai Blue said:What's happened has happened, so for people to sit wringing their hands from upon a moral high horse really achieves nothing at all.ChrisNUFC said:I just can't help laughing when i see the clip.
I'm with you Chris; it would have been preferable for it not to have happened, but now that it has I can certainly see the funny side of it.

You're right, it wasn't. But the sight of him being suddenly stopped in his tracks while gobbing off and goading City fans was.Marvin said:The sight of Ferdinand with his face covered in blood was not funny.

Glib little **** was not so cock sure back in May and shouldn't be today. They were second best all over yesterday but took their very few chances. It's the sort of win we used to manage when we were shit and they were great.

When we scored 3 last minute winners at your place last year our lads looked only at our own fans. Even when Bellamy scored a last minute (or not) equaliser, he was only looking at our fans. I stand in 117 at our ground and Ashley Young (amongst others) went out his way to celebrate in front of City first.

Agreed although from what's been said it was Rooney who went over to the City end.Dubai Blue said:You're right, it wasn't.

People shouldn't be throwing anything at footballers but it's an unfortunate occupational hazard. Ferdinand learnt a valuable life lesson yesterday that you're probably better off just celebrating with your own teammates/supporters and leaving the opposition well alone.
