Young lad with the burst nose?

The lad didn't get a sore one because of anything his mates did he got a sore one because some idiot thinks the way to resolve any sort of conflict is with violence. He should be charged by the police and never allowed to enter er again

Did his mates not shout abuse at him then and he just randomly hit him? No place for violence at games. But If you scream abuse at other fans you think that's ok? Mental abuse is just as bad as physical.

TBH if I saw any young laddie getting a slap from a grown man I would intervene.

Whos pockets would you rifle through first Scouse?

[Swedish hibee]

On reading some of the replies to this assult, I am so happy that my own 1 year old son is growing up in a country where violence isn't acceptable in any form.

Hope the lad is ok and will be back at ER next home game

I'm sorry but if someone shouts abuse at you you either do likewise in return or walk away. Violence is not acceptable. If the young lads were shouting abuse at people then they should have a word with themselves

True, I take many of the techniques learnt in North Gyle back to Old Swan (look that up).

but he wasnt

But he WAS. Everyone is taking Zemmamas version of events as gospel when he wasn't even there himself. His brother has told him HIS version of events which are way off the mark. I was very close to the incident and the young guys were being mouthy all game, not least of all at the incident in question. He is NOT some innocent young boy but a mouthy ned who has run home and told mommy and big bro he was picked on for nothing. Doesn't condone violence but nor does it condone some witch hunt on a fellow Hibby.

Didn't look like a ned and certainly didn't run away from where we were.

Your mate worried about being found out?

There are plenty of mouthy children kicking about everyday. Doesn't make it ok for a fully grown adult, in his late 30s, skelping him.

Wonder if he would have fancied his chances against someone in their 20s?

Have a word.

Has this been reported to the Police. Are they investigating the assault.

Yes.

[wearethehibs]

Was just gona say I was near the incident and I didnt actually hear the lads being mouthy to anyone. Certainly not neds ether. I saw from just after the punch and the older guy looked really aggressive. Have a feeling he's not had any in a while.

Always two sides to a story right enough, however enough people have already stated a complete opposite to your view. Were you involved, or do you know the cowardly bully involved?

I was there when a statement was provided to the police and this is the only version of events I've offered.

I can't say he hasn't been mouthing off with his pals but that's certainly not the person I normally go to the games with. It's sods law I was in the West for this particular game.

Not my mate chum, and again he is being referred to as a child, he's old enuff to be married. BTW If you also had a view why didn't you intervene? And ask yourself why no one else did.

Just maybe he behaves himself when big bro is around. Just putting another slant on it, he definitely gave the older guy a mouthful, as did his pal, don't know where the so called pals dad was, I only saw the pair of them.

I wanted to. But Ive learnt the hard way before not to get involved in other peoples battles.

I think the guy was wanting someone to get involved the way he kept looking back up the stand as he walked off

Irrespective of the rights and wrongs of what happened, who do folk keep referring to a 17 year old as a 'child'?

[RIP]

Since I was auld enough to go to football I've seen and been involved in bother. I'm still mentally recovering from the day back in 1970 when a Brylcreemed Hun pis hed doon my breeks and when I complained be punched me in the gub. I was 13 IIRC

Not been involved in any of that patter recently though - my laddies make sure I behave

I stand in the noisy bit of the East and it's quite easy to spot the odd 'ragdie gadgie'. Judging by the lingo of some posters some supporters still like to talk and act hard.

The only physical risk anyone should face at a game in this day and age is dancing about and a hug from a random stranger after a goal

Peace and love brothers and sisters

Sensationalism and pity, he's no more a child than the Swansea ' ball boy '.

[GoldenEagle]

So 30 yo guy skelps a 19 or 17 yo (?) man at fitba and we have several pages about a 'laddie', 'kid' etc getting a burst nose.. Jeezo, how times have changed at ER.. It's a 19 man ffs and I'm reading about big brothers and dads getting involved in finding someone who will in all honesty prob be back in his seat at the next home game.

A wee bit perspective required I think.

Which just goes to show that this guy is a muppet. We've always had them in our support though. I got into it with a couple of guys at the back of the old east about 8 years ago. They didn't like my weegie accent so thought they'd have a go as I was on my own. Didn't last long but there are some proper twats out there .
I'll say this though, 17/18 years old isn't a laddie or a kid .

I took to the forums in the first instance as, being a member of both .net and the bounce, I thought I could find someone who had seen the incident and / or knew the guy who punched my brother and I'm not sure that's something the police would do. I've since spoken to the club and learned that the police have the CCTV footage and are reviewing it so the reality is, there's nothing now that I can do.

All bull****, hearsay and conjecture aside my brother's been assaulted at the football. I'd quite like the police to catch the guy that did it.

Be careful you don't spoil the Police investigation and any subsequent trial with your own attempts to identify the culprit and bring him to justice.

This being my point... Let the Police get on with their job. They probably will not spend too much time investigating, lack or resources and priorities and all that, but you have go to let go.

Shouldn't have happened.

The polis might not spent too much time on it, but why should he let it go, some ****ing neanderthal decided to let his frustration out on some guy.
