Tommy_Fent Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Admittedly you do get people who probably went yesterday to cause trouble. I know it's the sort of thing you hear a lot when someone gets into a bit of bother. But Tony is genuinely one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and I know a fair few on here will say the same thing. I didn't see what went on but it's quite upsetting to hear about it. I only hope he's back enjoying watching the team I know he loves very soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longtimeblue Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 No but I've seen him behave like an idiot before trying to intimidate people. If he's tried to do that to the cops he's got everything he deserved. End of. Bollocks. Absolute bollocks. He's a placid bloke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 going on the side of the pitch isn't an offence.Going on the pitch is which I don't think he did.If they don't charge him with anything else somebody needs to make him aware of this.

All those so called Latics fans had over a month to buy tickets in the away supporters section, it was bound to cause friction and they knew it, every club has its idiots and unfortunately we had some yesterday. If found guilty ban them from any ground for life, then maybe the message will get through to others of a similar mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually no Latics fan had over a month to buy tickets in the away stand, they sold out in less time than that. Lots of people wouldn't have been able to afford the £20 there and then, especially in conjunction with the cost of getting to BP to get one. If you ban everyone who goes in the home ends as an away fan then Oldham wouldn't have many fans left. It's up to the fans responsible to not get noticed, hundreds did yesterday, a handful didn't.

smigger5 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Happened right in front of me, look like he stumbled or was pushed over the wall total accident in my opinion, the cops and stewards reaction was totally over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 If found guilty ban them from any ground for life, then maybe the message will get through to others of a similar mind. Guilty of what? And I'd like to point out that it appears that he's gone over a wall in the Wilbutts, not run on the pitch from another stand and put the ref in a half nelson. I'm sure you'll eventually agree there is behaviour that deserves electronic monitors and bans, this doesn't look like to be one of them.

Lags Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I thought once they'd got him over the wall back into the stand it was being left, until the little man steward in the red coat (presume he is in charge given the different coloured coat) with a typical little man big gob syndrome, told his yellow coated minions to go grab him. Of course he stayed well behind the wall. Unfortunately for Tony, it's football. Best scenario is he's given a caution, if he gets to court he's kippered.

oafc-latics Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 It looked like the police were heavy handed with the big guy who kicked off in the seated stand behind the goal after Forte's penalty. He was throwing punches at them but he was down for a while, and it looked like paramedics were with him. Sounds like Hulk Hogan didn't do much wrong, but this guy did deserve to be chucked out.

slystallone Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hopefully all's well that ends well with this. I just have one question: i wonder whether Tony was allowed to change; or whether he was still in his Hulk Hogan costume in the clink at 10.30pm. If you're a drunk & disorderly being brought in at that time, as Tony was leaving, if he's still in Costume, that's got to have been one hell of head :censored:. Would have been quite a sight that...

Lukers1 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I remember him having his picture taken with coppers at the away match at Carlisle last season. He's not the type to go and look for trouble. Seems like it all got lost in the hype of the game and nervous tension seeping out of the :censored: stewarding and wank policing.

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I saw 'Hulk Hogan' walking along the front of the stand during the second half yesterday, getting the crowd to sing, but I didn't see him get into trouble. He did the same at Bury, where there was a different reaction from the stewards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgFPRj7IVMM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
