Re: Blackpool thread

We may all feel a burning sense of injustice after the events of Tuesday night, but anyone who thinks the powers that be will sympathise with ASFC will be sadly mistaken IMHO.
Despite the obvious provocation, Evtimov lost his head in throwing the bottle back from whence it came. Had he the sense to draw the ref's or liner's attention to the offending missile, justice might have prevailed.
Any appeal - if we even bother, will fall on stony ground.
Likewise the safe supervision of fans by police & stewards remains the responsibility of the home club.
You can't have your cake & eat it!
If you're happy to profit from the sale of bottled alcohol to already inebriated fans, you can't absolve responsibility from the likely consequences.
There will only be one party found culpable after any inquiry. Alas, it won't be Blackpool
