Sorry to hear Ian, how is she now ?

hope she is OK Chief. Get in contact with Blackpool themselves

Can't see why he kicked the ball out so hard from 2 yards from the touchline either Ian!

Hope your girl is okay!

Hope your daughter is ok - don't blame you in taking it further

Cheers guys. She is a bit traumatised but will be ok. We spent last 30 minutes in the treatment room. Everything is recorded. The Blackpool secretary gave us a visit and apologized. He is,going to study the Dvd and go drink there. I,m expecting a call from Simon insole replacement. Not sure what route to go but will go down one

(From the other thread)

Good for you stupid act I hope you get at the very least a formal apology from club and player.

Hope your daughter is ok

Hope she`s ok Ian,

No need for that at all, yeah kick the ball in delight but pick it up and wack it in the air on the pitch....dick.

Hope he apologises!!!!!!!!!!! and they compensate you and your daughter

At the time I thought what a stupid thing to do.

Hope she is ok

hope she is ok,and not too shaken or upset

That's terrible.

I hope your daughter's ok.

sorry to hear that Hope she's ok mate

That would be assault in the street. Take it as far as you can mate, only hope she is not scared of going to a match after this!

Hope she's ok mate.

Should issue a complaint.

Hope your daughter is o.k What a prat slamming a ball from close range at a crowd.

Hope your little girl is ok mate

Disgraceful! I hope your daughter is ok!

Could of been worse on another day luckily i hope shes ok!

A few years ago up in preston whilst parkin was playing for them he scored a goal and kicke the ball into us, my my mates dad put his hand up to stop the ball smashing into his face and eneded up breaking his arm, Parkin sent him a signed shirt and i think PRESTON gave him 2k....

sorry to hear though about your little girl

He was a complete tw*t today, you must've missed it as well then when he started taunting our fans towards the end suggesting that we're sheep shaggers etc. Hope your daughter's alright Ian.

In fairness thought that was quite good. As fans if you dish it out you have to be able to take it.

In Ians case it was totally unacceptable and nothing to do with banter it sport but thugary

that's very true, you'd think though as professionals that they'd ignore it but he did get a lot of abuse to be fair. It did annoy me though when he kicked the ball into the stand and to find out that this has happened is even more annoying.

Hope your daughter is ok mate. Good luck

I was sat 2 rows behind you mate. That ball came in fast and hard. There was no excuse for what he did.
I hope you get some justice for this act of malice. Hope your daughter is ok.

Did he intentionally kick the ball AT a Cardiff fan though? Or was it a miss hit? I wasn't there so its a genuine question.

It was a geniune kick into the Cardiff fans area not a mis kick at all, at the time I thought it was out of order and pointless, but to hear of what has happened as a result of it makes me sick. Ian, if you need people to back you up in that Taylor Fletcher purposely kicked the ball into the Cardiff end you can use me as a witness.

He was about 2ft away from touch, he only had up tap it but hit with considerable force.

Unless he is retarded, or the worst footballer in history, he will have known
what damage his actions might have done when fans are that close.
Deliberate and calculated i would have said

It was deliberate, no doubt about it. I saw him do it then I saw you walk down with the little one in tears, knew right away what must have happened. Hope she's ok.

Ian, I hope your daughter is ok. When I realised what happened, I was raging with anger.
