No idea who threw it sadly, only saw it landing. A few people near me were looking at the general area it came from to see but whoever did it was hiding among a throng of people. Someone must know though.UPTHEPORT wrote:If that's true its disgusting and I hope you reported it straight awayredstarparker_port wrote:On the whole a great occasion last night & probably a fair (&positive) result in the end.
Sad to say that our resurgence in the 2nd half was spoiled a bit for me by the behaviour of a tiny minority of our fans in the Hazell Terrace. After the linesman ruled out the goal a coin was thrown (luckily didnt make contact), plus a lad ran up to the barrier and spat two clear gobfuls of spit towards the linesman. Really embarassing , not what we're about and a shame to see as it was a brilliant atmosphere otherwise.
Onwards & upwards to Sunday.
The lineo got every call correct but even if he didn't there's no need of that
Sadly wouldnt be able to identify the spitter either- just saw the back of his head from where I was and looked as if he'd come from another area of the terrace to do it. Happened almost immediately after ref put his flag up to disallow the goal.
Completely agree with your comments Uptheport - totally unneccessary and respect to the linesman for carrying on undeterred.
Again though, I'd emphasise the culprits were two berks among a crowd of thousands who supported the team brilliantly.
