You can all go on and on about the bottle incident - rules are rules. He threw it back into the crowd “lobbed” whatever you want to call it.
It’s a sending off offence.
All he had to do was pick it up and hand it to the official. The incident gets reported and we stay with 11 men.

I don't think anyone's saying it wasn't a red card offence, what Dimi did was wrong but we are saying it was understable, he's only human & as I said in my original post the incident could have been prevented if the ref had done what he should & stopped the game when he was being showered with missiles, it's a shame the FA won't be able to accept there were mitigating circumstances to explain his actions
 
Not sure it was just the price of the beer.
Lots of comments on one of the Blackpool fans’ forums that there were no or few checks on underage drinkers and not enough stewards to stop people taking their booze onto the terrace.
If true, then cheap beer + 14-17 year old boys = tears before bedtime.

if the fa investigate fully the incidents on tuesday night stanley will not come out of it without some form of censure or fine due to what exile has written above. there is always some who are going to spoil things for the majority and its surprised me that blackpool fans have actually not come in for more criticism for their actions. if it had been stevenage or luton i doubt their flares would have been thought of as fine.

That would be a shame, we've had similar & larger crowds on recently with no such incidents - yes Blackpool fans were on a high after recent events at their club but that was no excuse for their behaviour. I'd keep the way we welcome fans as it is but maybe when we play Blackpool next season don't give them the same privileges
 
[QUOTE=AccyMad;1225141- yes Blackpool fans were on a high after recent events at their club but that was no excuse for their behaviour.

no time for em honestly. they seem to think they are the only fans who have suffered from bad or incompatant owners in the past. even owned by the oystons they are still a division 1 club whilst others have lost theirs or playing in non league.
 
maybe if the FA took action against any club who's supporters act in such unruly behaviour by making them play their next two home games behind closed doors
 
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
 
you are correct lord S. the problem is for a great many people and not just the odd ones like some try to make out is that alcohol and football just do not mix.
