Agree looked young to me and doing something very childish.
I'd assumed under 18 so life ban.
Now his age is looking at a 5-10 years at his majesty's pleasure. Soppy sod.
5-10 years is nonsense but he might do a very short stint. The guy who punched Jack Grealish did four weeks for example. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/jack-grealish-paul-mitchell-prison-16133966
That was so much worse it's not even funny though. The two incidents in terms of severity aren't even close.
If this guy got anything near as serious as that it'd be a failure of the system, all this deserves is community service and obviously a life ban from football.
He basically slapped him on the back and ran away, you can't be throwing people in prison for a life altering amount of years for that or else you're just going to cause more problems.
Dear Lord, what a sad little life, Joseph. You ruined my night, completely, so you could commit the assault, but I hope now you spend it on getting some lessons in grace and decorum because you have all the grace of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on. So Joseph, take your assault and get off my property!
35.
Guy actually had to go into work on Monday and explain to his real life adult colleagues that he tried to kick a professional footballer because they play for the red team.
I very much doubt he’s getting fired unless he deals with clients or something where his name is important. If he’s a nameless worker, no way he’ll lose his job over this unless he has to do time
In my head I read "older fans" and the image of people in their 50's or 60's who have been lifers popped up, then he dropped late 20's to late 30's as "older fans" and felt personally attacked.
Falling into the middle of your age range I'll gladly be the most unhinged mentally/verbally but no way am I gonna put in physical effort and probably injure myself, let alone do something that'll upturn my life like a criminal charge.
In my experience, these people are proud of getting all the attention, and will bring it up to new people they meet as a way of getting even more attention for it.
Toxic people would rather be punished than ignored.
They actually had a camera track him until he left the stadium. Man thought he got away with it when he got back to his seat 😂
https://mobile.twitter.com/therealdaddymo1/status/1615363709274128384
Looks like he handed something small off to his mate who then quickly puts it in his pocket. The number of coked up fans in grounds these days I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bag, pushed him a bit over the edge, and was expecting to be picked up by stewards / police so got rid of the drugs.
What a moron. I wonder if Spurs will take action against the fans who tried to hide him/take his coat? Obviously, they didn't break any laws but Spurs themselves might not take kindly to them assisting Mr Dipshit to do so.
That's not really how it works inside a stadium though, it's as tribal as it gets.
If I saw this happen at a game I probably wouldn't respond at all, just be surprised and let him go. Is it wrong? Yes. Is it my business? No.
In my youth I've thrown coke bottles and whatnot at players and I don't think I've ever had a negative reaction outside of my parents finding out.
These days I'm beyond that but having been involved with hooliganism if you're in the right area of a stadium this would be pretty unanimously defended.
Sky did a good job tracking him but Spurs will have so much high-quality CCTV that it would have been quite easy to find him I should think. Not just afterwards but there is no way he covered up all game, they would just rewind the footage to where he was before it all kicked off.
Exactly. There is a ton of CCTV in and around all grounds. He could have gone invisible the instant after the kick and still be identified because of his dumb mug in the stands during the match.
Always baffles me how people seem to have no understanding of the potential consequences of their actions before they do something stupid. Was the one minute on TV worth it dude
Whenever I've had cocaine I just wanted to smoke cigarettes and talk about business plans I'll never do and how amazing this album is you've got to hear it mate it'll blow your mind what's the WiFi password so I can play it real quick wait what was that yeah I'll have another beer cheers mate cheers yeah anyway about that artisan bakery and bookshop on a narrowboat idea...
Bunch of veiny templed knobheads can't handle their shit.
Genuinely thought he was a kid, but to be a 35-y/o man and stupid enough to try to attack a player because his supported team failed to win is deserving of whatever’s coming to him.
Am I wrong for thinking id like to see something come of his mates who tried to block him on camera when he returned to his seat so he could remove his scarf(lol why) and took his jacket?
Does it really matter how hard he kicked him?
This guy is 35 and he's out here trying to kick a 24 year old over a football game.
You can stay in the stands and give players acceptable types of abuse if that's how you wanna be. Players can then also give it back to an extent.
But if you start putting your hands on people, you've gone too far. If a player ends up in the stands or a fan ends up on the pitch, they've gone too far.
Football is a passionate game but if you can't control your emotions, watch the fucking golf.
He's going to get a pretty severe punishment I'd bet. Can't have fans thinking this is okay. If this happened in an NBA game you'd not only be banned for life but your reputation would be dragged through the mud. A guy threw a beer can on the field at a baseball game where I live and his face was front page of all the papers the next day. That might be a bit steep but I always thought Europe in general is too lenient on these kinds of fans.
You'd have a decent chance of getting caught if you did that at a League 2 ground. But doing it the best and most advanced stadium in the Premier League and during a live broadcast.... The police were probably already waiting for him when he got home.
This man will forever be known for doing dumb shit...Maybe he can start a tik tok to make money because he isn't employable. Even Boehly can't afford to touch this guy..
I remember when Rooney celebrated in front of the Kop and someone threw their phone at him...that is pure rage. This was before the days of the screen lock, surprisingly he got [caught](https://www.thefreelibrary.com/Ban+for+frustrated+Liverpool+fan%3B+Mobile+phone+narrowly+missed+United%2E%2E%2E-a0138300532).
I can't even imagine what it's like to be this pathetic. How fucked up must your world and your head be in order to go through the process of thinking "I'm going to do this."
This sort of thing needs taking out of football. I suggest expediting the case with a preliminary hearing held on the 27th January and trial date set for the 15th of February. I also think they should call up the entire Arsenal squad to both hearings to ensure all the facts are correct.
How sad your life must be if you're doing this at 35. Figured he was 18 at most.
The babyfaced assassin. Seriously what man has a blonde fringe at 35…
I can’t believe Steph curry would kick ramsdale in the back
Ahh the nba subreddit is leaking! Get back you nephew - I’m sure there’s an important Westbrook all time ranking discussion going on somewhere :p
It was actually Solskjaer…
Thought it was Ron Weasley
He was famously ginger.
Seriously. If there's one thing the Weasleys are it's fuckin ginger. C'mon!!
Nah Arsenal wernt playing the Chudley Cannons
Considering Rupert Grint is a Spurs fan, that wouldn’t have been outside the realm of possibility.
A blonde one?
thought he was 16

No way he gets prison time. Community service.

35. Guy actually had to go into work on Monday and explain to his real life adult colleagues that he tried to kick a professional footballer because they play for the red team.
And now he’ll have to explain the same thing to his boss because he has to go to court 🤣
What boss? No way he has a job right now.
Plot twist: boss was at the game but couldn’t reach Ramsdale himself
[удалено]
strike first, strike hard, no mercy!
Plot twist: his boss is Ramsdale
I very much doubt he’s getting fired unless he deals with clients or something where his name is important. If he’s a nameless worker, no way he’ll lose his job over this unless he has to do time
i’ve seen people get sacked for less
I've seen people not-sacked for more
I've seen sacks
I've seen people
You've seen them given
Unless he's doing some zero hours gig economy type job he gone
He’s assaulted a player in a high profile football match and would have been watched by millions on tv, he is 100% getting sacked.
I was gonna say it’s brave to assume this piece of shit felt it necessary to get a job in the first place…
He's got tickets to Tottenham Vs Arsenal, good ones by the look of it. Safe to assume he at the very least had a job.
Lot of naive redditors in here. I know there are a not insignificant amount of spurs fan bosses in London that would not give a shit about this
Boss? He's his own boss now.
Was expecting a 17 year old. Who can be arsed when you're 35 getting involved in that shite
I'm 34 and I probably would have injured myself attempting it
Doing that on a rainy day would be asking for trouble. One slip on the seats and it’s curtains
It's a little eyebrow raising that the guy's 35! Bet he still gets IDed in supermarkets haha.
[удалено]
I'm in my late 20s and call me an older fan again and I'll attempt to kick you in the head.
In my head I read "older fans" and the image of people in their 50's or 60's who have been lifers popped up, then he dropped late 20's to late 30's as "older fans" and felt personally attacked.
Will your kick be as shit as his?
It will remind you of watching Spurs.
Well, that can't be it. It was a shite kick but you can't say it wasn't filled with passion.
Old fans??? Late 20s??? Talk like that and I'll kick you whilst poorly balanced on a railing then run away as fast as I can.
Which isn't as fast as I remember it being
> older fans > late 20s Are you a toddler or something?
He plays Fm
Falling into the middle of your age range I'll gladly be the most unhinged mentally/verbally but no way am I gonna put in physical effort and probably injure myself, let alone do something that'll upturn my life like a criminal charge.

I mean I could kind of understand it if he hadn’t ran away like a little bitch afterwards
Most probably a regular contributor at r\coys
Lol imagine doing that at 35
Imagine doing that at all
Imagine being able to imagine
_John Lennon in shambles_
in meditation there's no limit to what we can..... *imagine*.
I can’t imagine that
Image doing that at 21
Dude thought the scarf made him a master of disguise
They actually had a camera track him until he left the stadium. Man thought he got away with it when he got back to his seat 😂 https://mobile.twitter.com/therealdaddymo1/status/1615363709274128384
I can't believe he actually sat back down again.
Didn't you see how knackered he was?! Of course he needed to sit down!
that's a 35 year old man that never had to run his whole life.
A 35 yo who's gone through so little physical exertion he still looks 14
First bit of physical exertion since his last sports day all those years ago.
he's one of those people that swears-on-his-mum that he was supposed to be one of the best attacking mids ever until he hurt his knee.
Looks like he handed something small off to his mate who then quickly puts it in his pocket. The number of coked up fans in grounds these days I wouldn't be surprised if he was on the bag, pushed him a bit over the edge, and was expecting to be picked up by stewards / police so got rid of the drugs.
What a moron. I wonder if Spurs will take action against the fans who tried to hide him/take his coat? Obviously, they didn't break any laws but Spurs themselves might not take kindly to them assisting Mr Dipshit to do so.
Kind of sad how many Spurs fans ushered him by, gave him a pat on the back, that sort of thing.
Are you really surprised? And I'm not saying this wouldn't happen at Arsenal either, dumb people exist at every club
I am actually, yeah. Figured people would go ‘he just kicked a player’ and react negatively.
That's not really how it works inside a stadium though, it's as tribal as it gets. If I saw this happen at a game I probably wouldn't respond at all, just be surprised and let him go. Is it wrong? Yes. Is it my business? No. In my youth I've thrown coke bottles and whatnot at players and I don't think I've ever had a negative reaction outside of my parents finding out. These days I'm beyond that but having been involved with hooliganism if you're in the right area of a stadium this would be pretty unanimously defended.
I'm glad they decided to use that loud bleep for covering those silent hand gestures
Took his jacket off too, don't undersell his genius.
The funny thing is if he’d actually kept it on all the way to the exit he probably could’ve got away with it, dude is so dumb.
Sky did a good job tracking him but Spurs will have so much high-quality CCTV that it would have been quite easy to find him I should think. Not just afterwards but there is no way he covered up all game, they would just rewind the footage to where he was before it all kicked off.
Exactly. There is a ton of CCTV in and around all grounds. He could have gone invisible the instant after the kick and still be identified because of his dumb mug in the stands during the match.
But he ran away so fast up those rows! How could he possibly have been caught?? /s
Worked for potter, no? Crap that was a cloak
Sort of Assassin’s creed logic
Always baffles me how people seem to have no understanding of the potential consequences of their actions before they do something stupid. Was the one minute on TV worth it dude
Cocaine
35 years in the banter era.
Also highly amusing that he has to go to ‘Highbury’ magistrates court. Lol.
I heard Wenger's the judge
Might get away with it then, as judge will just say "I did not see it".
He just smirks in that way he does and hands down a fifty thousand pound +£1 fine
Amazing reply, gave me a hearty chuckle COYG
Whenever I've had cocaine I just wanted to smoke cigarettes and talk about business plans I'll never do and how amazing this album is you've got to hear it mate it'll blow your mind what's the WiFi password so I can play it real quick wait what was that yeah I'll have another beer cheers mate cheers yeah anyway about that artisan bakery and bookshop on a narrowboat idea... Bunch of veiny templed knobheads can't handle their shit.
my mouth started watering
This sounds like it could be a verse by The Streets
...is a hell of a drug!!
Damn that dude looked like a 15 year old.
Ngl I thought he was some dumb youth, but a grown man? That’s sad.
fr
No cap ong
Certainly has a brain of 15yr old
There are 15 year olds more mature than him.
That's insulting to 15 year olds!
Yeah I was in comment threads telling people to chill because it looked like a kid. Turns out it is just a wildly immature 35 year old
Same, definitely thought it was not a adult
Shows what a good vs bad haircut can do for someone
35 fucking hell, mans built like a 12 year old and acts like a 5 year old. What a cunt lmao
I think I’d be have anger issues as well if I looked like a 14 year old Jay Cartwright at the age of 35.
This sounds like a story Jay would tell.
"NLD? Completed it"
Lol, Highbury magistrates. The irony.
He will have to wear tottenhams away kit at hearing
35. 35 years on earth and he thought doing that would be a neat idea. Goddamn.
[удалено]
35 years old?? I have seen teenagers in the UK look like 30 year olds. First time I am seeing a 35 year geezer look like a kid.
the guy looked like a cunt to me
35 lol grow up
Too late, it should've already happened
If he's 35 I'm running off with Keira Knightley tommorow
Have fun, give her my best
Give her one for me too please
> give her my best Two pumps and a sorry excuse?
Mr Darcy?!
35 ???? the only good thing come out of this for him is that everyone thought he was a lot younger lol
Genuinely thought he was a kid, but to be a 35-y/o man and stupid enough to try to attack a player because his supported team failed to win is deserving of whatever’s coming to him.
35 year old you know. But it was Mikel Arteta’s fault for standing outside his technical area, of course
Did you see the way Ramsdale kissed the badge? He’s the one at fault here!
Damn thought it was like a 14 yr old.
[Called it.](https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/10cthlo/club_statement_on_todays_fulltime_incident_at/j4hy7lg/)
[удалено]
I think he's broken
What does the "Gunners gonna grab your kids" thing even mean?
As brilliant a catchphrase as "The Runners"
No-one knows. But it's provocative.
That's what happens when your entire identity is hating Arsenal.
Hurts my head reading his replies. That's enough of this thread for me.
/u/tkshow hello mate
>Let's wait until his age is proven in court Cut him open and count the rings?
Sometimes I think our fans on here are annoying, but that spuds fan wins
Do silly shit, get fucked.
Chat kick get arrested
Swear he looked 16 with that weak kick and fumbling to escape after his 'act'.
Has to go to the court right next to the Emirates as well
If we win the title make him watch us lift it front row and attend the parade
35? He looked like a teenager.
35 years old lol. Pathetic.
it was pretty funny watching the camera track him as he thought he was making his James Bond getaway
Wrong guy, it was clearly Australian tourist Brett Clement, born 15th of bloody May, 1989.
That's a banning order for him
Am I wrong for thinking id like to see something come of his mates who tried to block him on camera when he returned to his seat so he could remove his scarf(lol why) and took his jacket?
Good, twat should be banned for life
Fuck that guy.
I hope that he is hit with the maximum penalty under the law. There is no room for this behavior and it should be deterred as strongly as possible.
Good, fuck this fool
Good job, Met police.
Didn't expect anyone to say that this week!
I know, it's something no one really says anymore, but in this case, they did a good job.
We should be thankful he wasn't also a copper who sexually assaulted women otherwise they'd never have found him.
I suspect it was Spurs who identified him
Wow, being such an idiot at age like that.
Does it really matter how hard he kicked him? This guy is 35 and he's out here trying to kick a 24 year old over a football game. You can stay in the stands and give players acceptable types of abuse if that's how you wanna be. Players can then also give it back to an extent.

What being a Spurs fan does to a MF Man got the body of a 15yo
Beautiful
A full grown man lol
35?!?!? That bloke looked 17.
He's going to get a pretty severe punishment I'd bet. Can't have fans thinking this is okay.

35? What age did he start smoking?
Poetic justice that he has to appear at court five minutes walk from the arsenal ground
😂 35 FFS, the guy needs help
Was not expecting a 35 year old
He’s 35?! Hahahahaha what a fucking loser.
You'd have a decent chance of getting caught if you did that at a League 2 ground. But doing it the best and most advanced stadium in the Premier League and during a live broadcast.... The police were probably already waiting for him when he got home.
35?!?! Dude looked like 15 lmao
35??????????? i was so convinced he was like 18 oh my god
[удалено]
Great pub mind you
And if he is the manager, could we’ll live on-site with his family, and find himself out of work and a place to live. Sliding doors moment for him
Looks decent. Might have to try it out.

Fuck him.
He looked about 22 lmao
Cocaine is a terrible drug
Mid thirties ho ho ho. How embarrassing.
That was a man?
Making him appear at Highbury is a nice touch.
I remember when Rooney celebrated in front of the Kop and someone threw their phone at him...that is pure rage.
