This may not be true but one of the boys on our coach said they'd had complaints from the people in the boxes at the back because of all the fans standing up interrupting their view and the Police went in to remedy this then Fax scored which resulted in some excitement and caused the constabulary to go nuts.

Saw one of those braindead pillocks in an orange jacket been dragged out by the police as well, someone said they pepper sprayed him

That pretty much sums up what happened, someone tried making the point to them that they had tickets to stand up and refused to sit down. In the build up to Bannisters try there's a wide shot which has the crowd in you can see the police at the top of the stand. Then when we scored there was alot of cheering and jumping around. which resulted in people been dragged out by police, I've got two big bruises on my legs from been pushed over by the police.



They totally over reacted to a situation which was basically fans celebrating a try.

me too, steward getting arrested doesnt exactly look good does it

He wasnt arrested. Pepper spray was used in the incident and he caught a blast of it. As is customary when pepper spray is used the police MUST stop the "victim" from rubbing their eyes (as would be the natural response) hence why they would (on the face of it) be seen to be carrying them off!

did anyone see east stand celebrations on sky news

You mean Sky showed them? They were apparently very quick to cut away from them during the live broadcast so they could prattle on about Terry Newton.

yeah, some lads from year below me at grammer skool were jumping around like chimps on heat!

Idiot comment. Show a little respect

I apologise if you found my comment insensitive but TBH there are plenty of people who have been so desparate that they have taken this course of action and left behind loved ones and young familiy BUT I have little time for the fact that this was an "ex" rugby player and dont think it should have been concentrated on as much as it had been to the detriment of the occassion of the teams taking part.

I understand the sentiment... but I just tend to keep those thoughts and opinions to myself at such an emotionally charged time mate. No harm done I am sure tho

Me too and I mean the middle bit.
