I don’t care if he was asking for it or not. He was being a tool not threatening to attack them.

The guy could have killed him. Too many lives have been destroyed by these single punches. The guy that punched him should be charged and subjected to the legal system.

Walk away.

Shouting etc then I would say just take it in your stride and laugh it off but when he pointed in the guys face he was asking for it so no sympathy for him

I have seen people hit by unexpected punches. Even expected ones. The damage ranges from broken jaws to severe brain damage and death. It destroys not just the individual but their families. Kids growing up without parents. Parents losing children.

It’s a cowardly unjustified act.

Did you actually note how the guy on the receiving end went down? :?

Assuming you did and still think it was 'okay' or 'deserved' suggests a lot about your character and thinking...! :oops:

What that I wouldn't let a guy point in my face giving it large, ah yes just walk on like nothing happened as that guy does it again to the next person and the person after that, utter clown

Walk away best resolution, its not as if he is going to do it to you every week is he, probably had too much Colombian marching powder up his nose.

No doubt he had too much powder mate but if I went and pointed in someone's face giving the big one I'd expect that someone to hit me

I’d personally class that as threatening and intimidating behaviour, people in that situation have the right to defend themselves

With respect - it’s not what you or I class it as. It’s what tbr legal system would class it as. And I very much doubt they would exonerate a punch like that seeing as they lock up people jailed for defending their homes being burgled. Right or wrong the system has different interpretations. The risks to the puncher and punchee are not worth it.

Yeah i agree with you on that mate for sure, violence like that is dangerous and like you said before one punch can kill. From the West Ham fans point of view I’d be saying a group of males were encroaching my personal space acting aggressively and he made a quick decision.

This one on the other hand is completely out of order as the spurs fans are just messing about in jest with no malice intended
