Comrade 86 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Guessing most will have seen this but watching this big old boy slapping so-called ultras senseless is quite joyous. The guy has hands like fookin shovels and brought dozens of the Stone Island crew to an abrupt holt. Fair play. Presumably AZ will be in a bit of bother over this? God knows what would have happened had the AZ morons made it up those stairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derbados Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Guys an absolute grizzly bear, fair play to him, it took some king king sized balls to stand in front of a horde like that. Hopefully West Ham / the players do something nice for him on the backhand as to not upset fifa for promoting violence as they would see it Comrade 86 and WharfedaleRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taribo Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Not to be a pedant but the guy in the video is not 'Knollsy'. Knollsy is here: https://www.ladbible.com/sport/west-ham-knollsy-chris-knoll-az-alkmaar-ultras-709336-20230520 Just worth pointing out the man in green not getting any recognition whilst the West Ham fans are chanting Knollsy's name.

ilkleyram Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Not criticising the guy(s) at all for fighting back given that they didn't appear to have started anything, but am I the only one to be surprised by the hypocritical nature of the authorities - football and police - in all this? Here's a guy who has been widely named and identified in the press, and lauded, for fighting in a football ground, never mind the circumstances - an element usually ignored by those in charge. But he has not (yet) had his collar fingered, nor threatened with a lifetime ban from all football grounds or whatever the going rate is nowadays. All this shortly before Vinicius Jr was sent off for retaliating to a choke hold from a (white) Valencia player having been subject to continuous racial abuse by the crowd, the Valencia player receiving no punishment even though the choke hold was clear on replays and sustained rather than momentary HorsforthRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the authorities to do and what charge would you expect them to be charged with, I'd say it was a failing of the security(stewards)and the Dutch police. 2. A Brazilian player is assaulted/racially abused then sent off, Referee didn't do anything to the "white" player, I'd guess this "might" be looked at by the Spanish FA with all the press coverage 🤷♀️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologise The authorities - police and football - both regularly bang on about hooliganism and racism. Fans are regularly banned for both. And two examples in the last few days when Knollsy (whether for good reason or not is immaterial) is seen fighting at a football ground and is, so far, not arrested but largely lauded for doing so; and Vinicius jr reacts to what appears to be the final straw of many incidents of racial abuse this season and ends up being sent off, the reaction of the Spanish authorities is to blame him for not turning up to two meetings. I feel there are elements of hypocrisy at work in both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I don’t think the West Ham lad should be arrested. He never went after anyone, he just stood his ground and fended off attackers. The police and stewards were pathetic. SKRam and Premier ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
