Nicely put. :greengrin

:******:

[(((Fergus)))]

Bit off if the fan is already being restrained otherwise looks like a nice hit

[HH81]

If you see it on tv doesnt look much of a punch but he should of hit him harder for me :greengrin

[BryanV]

What a hero, punching someone who is being held
Assault, let's hope action is taken.

[Phil D. Rolls]

Dog bites man?

[hibsbollah]

Well done Craig:agree:
The perfect antidote to the modern, clean-cut media-trained footballer:top marks

[Sumner]

self defence, Man-Ure fan (a Cockney probably) shouldn't be there.

[southfieldshibby]

everything about this great. a stupid man gets punched by a twat and both of them will get punished. quality.

Not sure if Ferdinand might not get a wee slap on the wrist as well, as he grabbed the scrote by the frote immediately afterwards (presumably just showing solidarity with the Cockney).

[Onceinawhile]

Normally I would pile in to give Bellamy abuse, but to be honest, the tube shouldn't be there and deserves it.

[Pete]

I think Rio Ferdinand should be punished for assaulting bellamy after the incident...what the **** did the incident have to do with him? Talk about acting the hard man...at least Bellamy delivers.

Grabbing a player by the throat is a red card offence.

Oh aye, Bellamy delivered alright, ran across the pitch to slap a guy that was nearer to 5 or 6 other players than they were to him whilst he was restrained, if he was going to do it then why not have a go when the guy can smack him back?

Don't get me wrong the guy is a fud for running on the pitch but Bellamy is just arse who wanted to act the big man, why the ***** did he even get involved?

Bellamy is a volatile character at the best of times. He was asked to carry the whole City attack because players considered better than him were injured.
He scored two of the best goals he has ever scored in his life that that day...and he probably thought they were match defining goals.
He felt gutted, cheated, dejected and downright robbed at the final whistle and within seconds some twat invades the pitch trying to gloat.

I've followed his career since he was a teenager at Norwich and I know he probably would have hit that guy even if he was standing alone.

It doesn't matter if he was restrained or not he deserved a smack for invading the pitch. Well done Craig.

[Hibs90]

Bellamy is a bawbag but he hardly punched him. He ran across the pitch, then simply pushed the guy in the face. Punch is too extreme. Although I agree he is an arse though.

Push with a closed fist?!

[Hibs90]

Push with a closed fist?!

Did you see it on the TV?

[PaulSmith]

Should've been a straight red for Bellamy for violent conduct, absolutely no need for him to go 15 yards towards a fan who is already being restrained.

[RoYO!]

Push with a closed fist?!

wasnt a closed fist, just looks it in the pic.

still shouldnt have done it mind.

[Judas Iscariot]

Excellent work Craig..

That boy will have a long journey home to London or something wi a sair coopin..

:top marks

[blackpoolhibs]

I cant believe Bellamy punched him, our players have their own ghosts to do such work.

[Toaods]

I wouldn't call that a punch though it should have been - these clowns need a boot in the hee haws when held that might keep them off the park.

Doesn't our next tube cost us £25K ?


looked like Bellamy only reacted when the guy appeared to spit(?)at the steward holding his left arm. it looked like that's why Bellamy headed for the ref and was telling Ferdinand.

[Ritchie]

is there any video clips of this on the net??:confused:

[Jones28]

Push with a closed fist?!

If you saw it on the telly you can see Bellamy grabs the guys face. wasnt a punch for certain :agree:

[PISTOL1875]

Any clown who runs onto the park deserves anything he gets....

That prat Ferdinand should've been more worried about his performance on the pitch rather than worry what Bellamy was doing.. His '' fancy footwork '' gifted us out 3rd goal...

[gstarbry1875]

Wasn't really much of a punch tbh.

Mark Hughes comments on it are interesting though. He said when Brian Clough hit the fan that ran on the park he was hailed as a national hero so Bellamy should surely be treated in the same way.....

[Phil D. Rolls]

Saw it on MOTD last night, Bellamy really is a cowardly little tw*t. He's some footballer though.

[Phil MaGlass]

Is Bellend not a jambo fan, must be to be throwing punches at a restrained er5e

Yeah, but there was nobody restraining the guy Cloughie punched.

No need for that imo.
Just shake hands with the Man Utd players then go down the tunnel, he shouldn't get involved. He is a grade A fud!

Look at the fan... He moves his head forward towards Bellamy.. It looks like he is spitting at him or trying to headbutt him..

[lapsedhibee]

Look at the fan... He moves his head forward towards Bellamy.. It looks like he is spitting at him or trying to headbutt him..Yes, Bellamy's actions were in self-defence. :agree:

[iwasthere1972]

Bellamy shouldn't have been anywhere near the fan. It was being dealt with already and didn't need his intervention. Shame Bellamy didn't get decked.

As for Mark Hughes comment regarding Brian Clough. Clough was a legend whereas Bellamy is an :asshole:

FACT. :agree:

Obviously still suffering from Owen's last minute goal are you?


Having watched it on TV at the time I can say the fan did not move his head forward and neither did he spit at Bellamy either.

Well watch it on youtube.. It gets slowed down and you see that the fan puts his head forward..

I never said he spat at him.. I said it looked liked it....

4-2...............

Watching it again I can see where you are coming from as the fan does move his head forward but I don't think he is trying to headbutt him or whatever.

He clearly never spat on him and it doesn't look like it either.

Good game though. Was good to see Owen get on the scoresheet and get that last minute winner. :thumbsup:

Well what is he trying to do then ???

[Hibs90]

Can't really tell you that as im not that fan. Sorry

[PISTOL1875]

Can't really tell you that as im not that fan. Sorry

Well it's obvious that you're not that fan in the video but you must some sort of idea of what his intentions are ???

I thought that you would've been looking for a draw yesterday so one of the teams didn't pull too far away from Arsenal ?? It surprises me that you are happy that United won the game ???

[iwasthere1972]

The fan shouldn't have been anywhere Bellamy...

He wasn't until Bellamy got involved. I'm not defending fans who run on the pitch but the matter was already being dealt with by the folk who are paid to do that. Different matter if the fan had directly gone to Bellamy and he had to defend himself. I would then be saying well done to Bellamy even if the fan had been decked and needed urgent dental treatment.

[hibiedude]

The fan was on the pitch so well done craig give him another slap.

[Hibs90]

How the hell am I supposed to know what his intentions are?


To be honest I wasn't bothered about the outcome I wanted to see a good game. Im glad United won though becuase it got right up you. :wink:

[Kaiser1962]

having played rugby in my youth I have to say when you see punches thrown (outside the movies that is) they never look, or feel, like you would expect them to. And when you throw them and they land it always feels like you got it wrong somehow. It's a bit surreal to be in the middle of on a sporting field. That said, however, it appears that Bellamy (absolute helmet) has hit a guy already being restrained and that, my friends, is a poor show in anyone's language. At least in Deek's case (and Stack's on you tube) the assailant was upright and about to assault them and therefore fair game.

You must've been looking for a result that was favourable to Arsenal yeh ??

I would worry about your own team instead of worrying about mine...

That fan deserved everything he got.. Stupid prat shouldn't have been on the pitch in the first place.....

[dalkeith stu]

Well what is he trying to do then ???

Looks like he is reacting to something the steward with his left arm is doing. Not trying to defend the fan, he shouldn't be on the pitch and should have the book thrown at him but you cant claim Bellamy is acting in self defence as he has walked 20 yards to get involved.

[iwasthere1972]

That fan deserved everything he got.. Stupid prat shouldn't have been on the pitch in the first place.....

You're just not getting are you. Nobody in their right mind would defend a fan for being on the pitch but leave it to the stewards and police to deal with unless of course there is no option but to defend yourself. In Bellamy's case he was wrong to make it his business as he was nowhere near the "action".

I am neither a Man U or Man City fan so am seeing it from a neutral perspective. No bias or red or blue tinted glasses. :agree:

We could argue about this all day but I ain't got the energy or the time so this will be my last comment on the matter.

I do get it... I think Bellamy was 100% wrong to get involved... I have no reason to defend him....

[Toaods]

Lawyer:

M'Lud, my client was merely lending assitance to the steward who was having difficulty restraining the intruder. Mr Bellamy showed a great deal of courage in what could have potentially been a serious danger to his well-being.


Judge:

ABsolutley, Mr Bellamy you are free to go. Now....you, Mr Intruder, what you have done could potentially have caused a great deal of trouble if not within the stadium then certainly by adding fuel to the fire on the streets outside the match, I therefore take into account thefact that Manchester United FC have imposed a life ban on you from attending all future matches, however I feel we cannot allow such stupid action to go without punishment, therefore I sentence you to 3 months imprisonment.":bye:

[ancient hibee]

There was a Scottish Movietone (sorry this is REALLY for oldies)news story of the 1950s.Scotland were away to Austria and Gordon Smith was getting kicked black and blue-he pushed the guy away and about 20 supporters burst onto the field-Lawrie Reilly chinned the first one and the rest turned tail to loud cheers in the cinema.Reilly denies it but is just being diplomatic.

[Kaiser1962]

That fan deserved everything he got.. Stupid prat shouldn't have been on the pitch in the first place.....

your right in that he shouldn't have been on the pitch but there were plenty stewards there and he maybe does deserve everything he will now get. But Bell-end got involved in something that had absolutely hee haw to do with him He should have kept out the road till the stewards did whatever they do with guys on the pitch. The guy will be charged as should Bellamy because if he isnt then it is saying it's ok for players to skelp guys who are being restrained. Now if the guy was running at Bellamy going to belt him, like the numpty did to Deeks, then fair do's, give him a right hander but the guy, arse or no, was going nowhere and Bellamy was in no danger whatsoever.

[Caversham Green]

Wasn't really much of a punch tbh.

Mark Hughes comments on it are interesting though. He said when Brian Clough hit the fan that ran on the park he was hailed as a national hero so Bellamy should surely be treated in the same way.....

The guy Cloughie skelped was a Forest fan though - a very important difference that Hughes is too thick to spot.

[joe_hfc]

I do get it... I think Bellamy was 100% wrong to get involved... I have no reason to defend him....

Now that I watched the clip, it certainly does look like he is trying to spit at Bellamy. He is a Man U fan after all...

Anyway, let's not debate over Man U, Arsenal, or Man City. They all live in the shadows of Leeds Leeds silky Leeds :agree::thumbsup:

[khib70]

No need to worry. Arsenal are 10x the team Man City will ever be. :agree::thumbsup:

I can confirm this - my father was a regular at ER at the time - the general view among the Hibs support was something like, "Buncha Nazis, well done Lawrie, didnae hit him hard enough". Dad was at the Austria match at Hampden a few years later which had to be abandoned when football threatened to get in the way of the riot.

Didnae like Austrians, my Dad.
