Anyone know this guy?

Maybe Geords would like to help the police with their enquiries 🤷‍♂️

Indeed. Goes back to a key point I made yesterday. Irrespective of how the actual injury occurred, it's an undeniable fact that unless the guy brought the 'banger' himself, his injuries wouldn't have happened if someone else hadn't 'enabled' it to get to within close enough proximity of him for this to be an issue.
 
Yes, i know Geords, hes a good lad and he aint a shit stirrer. I wasnt there on sunday though, so i cant pass comment on the accident.

Totally agree. There will have been quite a few there who’d had a bit to drink but that does not excuse someone actively deciding to purchase fireworks for the sole purpose of setting them off in a crowd of people just wanting to celebrate their teams achievements. It could so easily have been a child who picked it up. This just sounds like someone trying to deflect blame.
 
Do you know if your mate is helping the police with their inquiries into this incident in response to their appeal for witnesses?
No idea, but im sure he would if needed.

May i just add, im merely defending a pal who may not be here to defend himself, before he is villified by the AVFTT baying mob, Most of whom (myself included) have no idea what exactly happened leading to the terrible incident.

Further proof, if any were ever needed that fireworks + alcohol + crowds are a recipe for disater.

The lad who lost his fingers has my deepest sympathy and well wishes regardless of how or why it happened, and if he picked it up to stop it exploding near children as stated on other threads, then he is a hero in my book.

I don’t think he is being vilified and my question was genuine. You’re right most people don’t know what happened but it has become a police matter now and they have appealed for witnesses.
 
If you asked ten diffent people that was there you would get 6 or 7 different stories for instance he said he chucked a flare I didn't see any flares, did he mean smoke bomb..... U can see what I mean.
 
Nah your right football fans on twitter or comments on the gazette article let's get em in the courts... Fuck off dodge and take bfc with you.
 
To be honest I would imagine this is nearer to the truth. Why even pick it up. Surly your instinct would be to kick it.
 
Not if you were in a crowd to be fair
Fair enough Tim, it’s just it comes across a bit, pissed up, showing off, misjudged, bang. My instinct would be either kick it or immediately pull back my son from potential danger.
Just for the record even if he was fully involved in the throwing of fireworks absolutely no way did he “deserve” what happened to him. Call him out, arrest him fine but what happened to him was awful whatever way you look at it.
 
Some of you lads have very little class at all and less tact

The lad has lost his thumb and two fingers regardless of exactly how it happened and some of you are pretending you are Colombo and trying to “solve the case” rather than feeling any sympathy or wishing the lad well
 
Did you see it thrown ? Was Phil in the vicinity ?

Yes i was i was about 6 ft away when is fingers and thumb were blown off

Did i see if it the air bomb was thrown then the answer is no, but does it really matter it was set off near a crowd of people including children

My 10 year old boy was right in front of the explosion and he hasn't slept for 2 days

So if you have any more snide comments to make contact me directly

Spot on and he won’t

I didn't suggest anyone should sue the bloke, I just said where his comments were. I mean it's hardly cricket digging out a fellow supporter in that way under the article either really, especially when you've only viewed what went on from a distance. Saying nothing might have been more apt don't you think?
 
Give up the stirring - just for once
It's unbecoming when someone has suffered life changing injuries
Im not stirring,just so much bull comes from a certain section of this board is unbelievable and when you query it they get angry, Frothing at the mouth some of them,all sticking up for eachother (some would put them first before their kids). We all know of the life changing injury Tam and hope the crowdfunder raise a significant sum to help him medically or financially if he cant resume his trade in the future, my posts have nothing to do with that just the truth about the bomb,which even the police will sruggle to sort with all these lies flying about. There,get angry folk.
 
I do think we need to leave it to police to sort the wheat from the chaff now.
And I think it does need sorting one way or another. And Avftt can’t be the judge and jury on this right now, whoever’s corner you are in, as most of us don’t know the full facts it appears.
And anyone who actually saw exactly what went on needs to put their money where their mouth is and report what they know officially, either way.

People got angry because you made comment slating the lad without any understanding of how he had been hurt. Also in my case you went on to make the most unbelievable and totally unfounded accusation, based on nothing.

If you are going to open your gob without thinking, then you can expect to be slated mate... You were out of order and still haven't had the basic decency to apologise.
 
So I called someone a silly idiot before any details were out wow. Yet the same people dont pull up the liars and you dont expect an apology from them.

You called the injured lad an idiot and then you followed that up by a completely unfounded accusation that I break the law. I'm not sure whether you spent the day off your tits on some kind of drugs, but quite where you managed to pull that from is beyond me.

As for pulling up liars, in any incident that happens quickly and in a crowded situation, there are bound to be different perspectives. Eye witness accounts are renowned for being unreliable, which is why people shouldn't be publicly digging out anyone.

People like yourself are the reason this forum is not half as busy as it once was. Nothing but snide, nit picking, pedantic shitty comments. You are clearly a sad lonely person with nothing better to do.
