If the answer to either is no it will be a real shame as they currently average around 40 games a season each. How appaling for you all. I suspect the answer to 1) and 2) is that you'll all be very apprehensive and their mum might have the last word. sincerely hope you get satisfaction and the culprit is outed.

In hindsight, I'm sure the bloke will feel embarrassed enough. Let's not post pics of the guy.. f*ck that, name and shame the tw*t, its honestly pathetic. I hope they are alright, and if they are worried reassure them its a one off, and has never happened in all the other games they've been to mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mkowl Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Wouldn't take my lad to an away game given some of the characters that attend. Not a criticism of the OP for doing so btw - as he should be able to do so - just a personal approach until he gets older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Had a similar incident with my daughter when I took her away to Huddersfield a couple of seasons ago. Bloke kept drifting across the front of my daughter, standing in front of her so she couldn't see the game. I asked him several times to not stand in front of her but he ignored me over and over again. When I suggested he must be deaf aswell as ignorant, his response was to say I shouldn't have brought her then, and to offer me out, in front of my daughter, which his thick 20 odd year old son thought was hilarious (it might be what you call bringing your kids up well where they came from, I have no idea). My 9 year old daughter got a bit upset at this point. I moved her to my right and then stood shoulder to shoulder with this idiot instead, waiting for it to kick off. After a tense 90 mins, he eventually apologised at the end of the game (fair enough but my daughter hasn't wanted to go to a game since, she was frightened). Needless to say, had my daughter not been with me, events would probably taken a different turn of events. I wouldn't have had to bite my lip for my daughter's sake.

s110wl Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 fair enough, maybe ive misread this situation. Just dont want to see a fellow owl banned for life for kicking a seat (potentially) in frustration. In no way saying I condone it or that he shouldnt have done it, just trying not to ruin football for someone who might care about it as much as we do. Can't excuse poor behaviour and hope the kids are fine Leaping. Please don't let this put you off taking them, as I said, 95% of us are good guys.

EveryWednesday Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I don't believe that in any other situation in life this bell OP has described would act like that, otherwise I'm sure he'd be in prison by now! It's not acceptable at a football match, it's not acceptable anywhere. I can't stand anyone who puts children in danger. I can't stand anyone who frightens a child or makes them feel unsafe. Truly scum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, say he is reported and the club take a dim view, would you want him banned for (say) three years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, he clearly can't control himself, even in the presence of children. You just can't do that as an adult People don't have a god given right to attend football matches, if they ruin it for others they shouldn't be allowed to go imo Edited October 29, 2016 by EveryWednesday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socialist_Owl Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 He had a chance to man up and apologise. Twice acted the right c*nt instead. Sorry, he's a flipping bellend and his behaviour should not be tolerated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s110wl Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 fair enough. i was just trying to put forward a slightly different perspective. agree that if he'd shown contrition immediately it might have helped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not over the top, the kids must have been scared and if he cannot control his aggressive nature he shouldn't be in these situations. Fellow owl or not he sounds a tw*t and shoukd be banned.

Not my place to make that decision. But such banning orders are in place, in theory, to protect other people. If you believe that judgements (be them legal, civil or just carried out by clubs) are there to protect the general public, rather than just inconvenience the perpetrator, then perhaps someone with that little self control should be banned.
