He was getting pelted with objects for most of the game. He snapped on the 73rd minute. Don’t blame him. It’s alright sitting watching it and saying he shouldn’t retaliate, but it’s different when you’re in the heat of the moment. They could have chucked anything at him for all he knew. He wasn’t the only Marseille player who had enough. They all kicked off when he got hit again. Only ones to blame here are the brain dead morons in the stands Absolutely it is the fault of the fans throwing the objects in the first players. However, when players randomly start aiming objects back into the crowd what do they expect to happen, what does it achieve? Imagine you are in a packed stand and some moron near you launches something onto the pitch? Do you think it is fair game that the player launches it back into the stand but it hits you instead, or a young kid who had mothing to do with it? Bizarre logic.

Yet he is at fault? Good on him I say. Footballers take some right stick and fans don’t like it when they get a bit back. Tough. His reaction is understandable, and I'd probably do the same, but that doesn't make it right. Look at it from this point of view: If scumbag Pierre is the one who threw the bottle, is the return throw justifiable if it hits innocent Jacques in the face? At the end of the day, anyone who throws something onto the field must be ejected and banned. It should never get to the point where it repeatedly happens.

What a load of rubbish Whilst I don't agree with him throwing it back in to the fans (unless it was back at the fan who did it), I can understand why he did if he'd suffered it all game Was he knocked to the floor? The bottle hit him, he went down in stages. I’m not saying it didn’t hurt but, he throws himself to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not getting all of the blame is he, it's just being pointed out that his reaction was wrong. I am sure you would happily take it on the chin if someone from the Wednesday end threw something at a Rotherham player for example and the Rotherham player reacted by throwing it back but it happened to hit you or a young kid rather than the person who threw it in the first place. You have tried to justify that in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloke is also probably scared - they could have been throwing anything at him. He wasn’t the only Marseille player to react. Awful behaviour from the fans and I completely understand why he retaliated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s exposed on a football field with fans chucking stuff at him all game. In that moment your body goes into shock - for all he knew it could have been something much worse than a bottle. Completely understand his reaction. If their are innocent people and kids in the ground, I’d have got up and left 20 minutes in. They were chucking stuff and throwing things all game. Not a safe environment for kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, like Kirkland when that idiot Leeds fan attacked him. Warnock quick to mention how easily he went down, not considering the shock at all. I’d hope if something similar happens now, Leeds fans would get a lengthy away game ban - and believe me when I say Leeds fans are a ticking timebomb right now back at games, wait until they have a late kick off away game, we’ve already had them fighting in Manchester and throwing stuff at DCL in their first two games, neither of which has got much attention, but something bad is gonna happen with them lot soon I can feel it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful behaviour from the fans and I completely understand why he retaliated. Of course I don't know it hit a kid. Do you know that the objects thrown back by players didn't hit fans who hadn't done anything? A far more likely occurrence given there were thousands of fans in that area and dozens of objects being thrown at most - before the retaliation. As previously said, the fans throwing them in the first place are most at fault for sure. Players throwing things back at fans made things worse.
