Guest superrcooper7 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I don't know Dutch law so can't comment. Fair enough. Police I have unfortunately encountered haven't a clue of the law or whats right or wrong in this country tbh. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Being serious or sarcastic ? I think he was quite right to boot the fucker, he has no idea what the guy was carrying. Absolutely serious! Thirty years ago nobody would have thought much of it because players were getting away with violence, but football today is very different. The keeper didn't just act in self defense, he lost the plot and might even have chinned the ref if he hadn't been held back. Total loss of discipline as far as the modern game is concerned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 21, 2011 Author Share Posted December 21, 2011 Latest. The Police have asked Estaban to put in an official complaint and he has agreed to do that. The hooligan will be kept overnight for questioning. I am just wondering what will happen if the hooligan puts in an official complaint against Estaban? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has a footballing incident that happened in Holland got to do with you encountering cops in Scotland? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll spend the night in the cells too presumably if he's treated the same as the hooligan. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The keeper didn't just act in self defense, he lost the plot and might even have chinned the ref if he hadn't been held back. Total loss of discipline as far as the modern game is concerned. This really had nothing to do with football so I dont get the comparison between 30 yrs ago and today. A fan running onto the pitch and attempting to kick the GK is NOTHING to do with football. I honestly have a great deal of sympathy with the GK because the guy quite obviously tried to boot him and, to me, he defended himself - at least with the first kick. Just put yourself in the same position and you feel you are defending yourself from someone you have no idea if he is carrying a knife or other weapon, or wants to get nack up and have another go..... to then have the ref show you a red card for that. Very easy for us all to sit here and say "shouldnt have dont that" - far different cry from being put in that position yourself. Funny Gav, I actually thought that the AZ coach brought his players off more because they were down 1-0 and had their GK sent off than to protect the safety of his players. Opinions, eh ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing probably, just saying about the police I have encountered, not the fairest lot in the world. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is on his way home on the players bus and I don't think he will be arrested tonight but I do think the Police would have to charge him if a complaint is made. As the ref says he could have walked away. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
