Full Coke Bottle Thrown By Leeds Fan

One of my favourites was Adebayor going the length of the pitch - pure comedy.

Incidentally, I always take a spare Coke lid to games with me. Hate it when they take the lid off me, have kicked it over in the past etc. Thought it was a life hack but obviously not.

 

And then we go all pantomime and give him the chance to ram our hilarity down our own gizzards.

Winnall celebrated his karma in style.

Good lad.

His headed goal against Cardiff was world class. And he did that for us. One of the best headers I've ever seen.

 

Bit diffrent that... if i play a game of pool down local against someone for money and if i win i run around table like a idiot and do the shush thing in his face and he gives me a crack is that my fault or his?

 

To be honest, any kind of cola is better than what I was thinking it might be full of!!

 

His, throwing the first punch is assault, there’s no justifying it.

Doesn’t mean you’re not being a Nobhead. But your freedom of expression extends to the right to behave like a dick.

 

Correct. But in the case of footballers inciting fans celebrating infront of the home end should have some punishment because its happening all the time. And there will always be that one idiot who take it too far. You get a yellow for taking your shirt on but your fine to run over 5 yards from the home fans shushing and cupping your ears?? Come on.

 

Ban all the fans who chuck stuff for life. That's the answer - not punishing the players.

 

It's 100% his fault, and I don't see how that can be controversial

 

Why?
I’m an adult, if I went around smacking everyone who tried to wind me up I’d have spent half my life in the nick.

The common line of double standards, Joey Barton is an absolute cn ut because he can’t hold his temper, but when a footballer plays the pantomime villain, he deserves to be punished because he could be winding up Neanderthals like Barton.

When one of our kids used to ‘tease’ another, and the ‘victim’ came for sympathy, the response was always ‘they only do it cos they get a reaction, ignore them and they’ll stop bothering’.

 

But out of 40k people you are going to get idiots who give these players a reaction to winding them up. I think the players should be punished. Happened leeds v arsenal leeds v brentford arsenal v city and today and each occasion its happened when a player has gone over to the home fans to goad them when celebrating.

 

Punishing the players is just avoiding the issue of dealing with the knobheads and excusing their behaviour.

 

Not excusing their behaviour i just think if you score and run over to the home fans winding up, cuping your ears or shushing is also behaving like a knobhead too. And should be punished you dont thats fine we will have to agree to disagree. I think the video game fifa banned the shush celebation a few years ago and ive seen kids at grassroots level get told by refs about doing it. No way am i excusing morons throwing objects on the field i just dont like players inciting trouble either.

 

Irrespective, it was still funny.
He should have just laughed it off. As mild a banter prank as I've ever seen. He must have lost his giggle box. Instead of acting like a lunatic. After he scored. I actually think he realised what a nob he'd been. Given his later reaction .

 

When he scored it wasn't funny though. We should have just laughed it off. But we didn't. We threw stuffed animals out before he scored.

We gave it out, but we looked like we couldn't take it when he gave it back. In spades.

Not good.

 

Remember having a disagreement on here with someone on here about why they took the tops off bottles at matches - this is why

 

Most people took it as a good humoured incident. The abuse from SOME of the fans you say. Was in response to when and who he signed for. Ronnie moore took more abuse in his little finger. And soaked it up. (In fact he revelled in it and got admiration from opposition fans) He never resorted to the **** show Winnall did. And threw the teddy out of the cot.
What Winnall did was disrespect ALL Barnsley fans and the club.
I do not for one minute agree with abuse of players. And never resort to it. But do not go along with that reaction from Winnall either. Never have I ever seen a reaction like that in my life. It went way beyond celebrating a goal in front of opposition fans.

 

I agree with you.

There are two issues here. The responsibility of the thrown bottle lies 100% with the person who threw it. They should be banned from attending football games and be up on an assault charge (or whatever the appropriate criminal charge is).

Footballers who goad opposition fans should be booked. I believe it is written into the laws of the game that a player automatically receives a yellow card for removing their shirt (I don't agree with this rule as it's an act of celebration). But I do believe an automatic booking should be issued for goading spectators. It's nobhead behaviour that influences children which they imitate. It doesn't deserve a bottle in the face but it deserves a booking.

 

He did. Ronnie Moore lost it completely in one game against us, rodding the fans, shouting and swearing and his game fell apart.

 

Aside from Winnall, the three player celebrations, from recent years, that have wound me up are; Tom Cairney (Blackburn) scored a goal and ran the length of the East Stand cupping his ears, like he’d silenced a crowd that were giving him stick. Except they weren’t. / Joe Garner (Ipswich) pulled his shorts up to his chest and started flapping his tongue at The Ponty. / Luke Ayling (Leeds) he didn’t score but joined in the celebrations, in front of The Ponty, but was giving his smug grin aimed at our fans. Classless, all three.
But just this season, Woodrow scored and celebrated in front of the away fans. A rare Oakwell goal and he chose not to celebrate it in front of his own supporters.
I didn’t feel inclined to launch a fizzy bottled drink at any of these, mind.

 

Didn't the blow up pig land in front of him as he was doing his victory sprint in front of the east stand?
