Coin throwing goons are back.

mike65

The 4th offical at the Newport County game has just been hit by a coin with some force, ended up getting Ko'ed and sent to hospital. This is at least the third such incident in the last week with West Ham-Arsenal and Fulham-Everton matches under investigation.

Apparently Van Persie was hit by a 2p. Interesting to know that along with being assholes they are also cheapskates.

RasTa

Those 2ps are the largest coins.

A Dub in Glasgo

Although not the heaviest. The £1 coin will cause more damage than 2p.

wheres me jumpa

Did anyone see what happened with Rooney and the fan today? Looked nothing in the end but there was a scramble to separate them.

Have to say, while people who throw stuff are total scumbags, how much of a pansy is van persie? He went down like someone had levelled him from behind with a bat. The city player that was hit (cant remember who) just under the eye at least didnt overstate it.

I think van persie thought he was in with a shout for a peno.:)

It's the most laughable thing in the world for somebody on an internet forum to call somebody a pansy because he fell to the ground after somebody hit him with a coin.

How do you figure?

Ive been hit with a lot worse in my time. It was quite obvious he was milking it. Just like players over reacting to tackles, he went down for a couple of seconds then back to his feet, right as rain. In this case it just seemed pointless as, as much as I loath players over-reacting to get other players booked/sent off, they do it for the above reason, there just didnt seem any reason to over play the incident. Fair enough, rub your head, show your dicust, draw it to the attention of the ref/police and try get the guy kicked out/arrested, but to drop to the ground and roll around like he was looking for a penalty just seemed ridiculous.

I mean the ref in Scotland that was split open didnt react half as bad as Van Persie.

Those coins hurt especially when they hit the back of the head.

there just didnt seem any reason to over play the incident.

Yet you Mr Detective ascertain that he was faking it for no apparent reason then to act like a pansy...and to act like a pansy so that people like yourself would know that he is a pansy...

Riiiight:rolleyes:


Well trust a liverpool fan to try and act hard. They have a history of being the worst of the worst for being scumbags.

What do united fans call them again..

Oh yea murderers..

Very mature.:rolleyes:

Who Van Persie plays for and who I support had nothing to do with my opinion on this.

I'm also no doctor but from experience, a quick roll on the ground never healed me of anything.

Considering that 4th official was knocked out, it seems fairly possible that getting hit might have hurt Van Persie a bit...

Not at all. This thread was about scumbags who throw coins at players and officals yet you go on that Van Persie was rolling aroud the ground just to get attention thus taking the origianl topic off track.
Congrats for that

But What good would it have done van persie "milking it"?
For what now exactly could it achieved??
Please explain cause nobody here has yet to agree with you.

Please explain cause nobody here has yet to agree with you. It's an opinion, people dont have to agree with it. I'm sure everyone on here hasnt agreed with everything you've ever posted.


There wasnt even a point to me posting about it, I was just bemused as to why he reacted like that. I would assume the person who threw it was trying to hurt him, so to over react it probably gave th eperson some sense of achievement (who knows what scumbags think)

That was the £1 coin

Mod: Less of the ****e lads.

If i was playing and got hit by something other than a body part i imagine the reaction would be more shock than anything else, didnt VP but i imagine a coin hurled about 50 feet would hurt.

When i was a kid all the kids on my road were ninjas at throwing rocks we could hit poles from 150 feet etc: The skill required to hit a moving target with a coin is unreal, do these people practice

Exactly, a lot bigger than the what? (2p) Vp was hit with.

Anyway, in the interest of sanity, i'll leave it there.

jank

Your theory that if one person shrugs off getting hit in the head by a coin, better then others then EVERYBODY should be able to shrug it off.

Like saying if a man punches another man and doesn't knock him out, then nobody should ever get knocked out if punched....
Thats basicly your theory, that no matter what variables are attached to the incident the sole outcome should be the same..

I suppose the ref was "milking it" too
Maybe Hugh Dallas was milking it too.
How dare he bleed!!



Your theory/opinion has so many holes in it it resembles swiss cheese.

I wouldnt have thought so. The idea of some sort of organised coin throwing millitia is a bit daunting mind. Its one thing that would be very difficult to ban in grounds (coins I mean, not the act of throwing them.

As good as Stekellys accuisation that Van Perise went down easy. Its definitly doesnt top some poster who said that Dida went down very easy when he got hockyed with the flare during the Inter match in the champions league last year.


I dont know how big 1stg coins our, but any coin hit the bag top part of your head would hurt like hell.

Guy:Incognito

motd just showed footage from the swansea game, 4th official hit with a coin. It seems to be happening fairly frequently all of a sudden. thats about 4 this week is it not?

Mark lawrenson talking about having nets put up to stop it. Theres a good chance all the holes might make them a bit redundant tho.

I woonder is it one of those things that seems to have a few of the same incident in a row then dissapears again or the start of a bad period where it escalates.

1stg coins are a bit smaller than a euro coin but at least twice as thick and heavy, ideal for throwing tbh, cant see a 2p coin gaining any momentum.

Maybe the Pats Casuals (one of the great EL windups) were sent over to disrupt English football having picked up the basics growing up in Inchicore

LOL.

Obviously the mesh in the nets would be fine enough so as to make sure they'd stop coins and the like passing through.

On the subject of English 1 pound coins, AFAIK, during the height of the hooligan days it was quite common for certain "fans" to sharpen the £1 coins before they brought them to game so that they would cause the most damage once thrown.

When you get to nets tight enough to not let coins through, your bordering on having a sheet though. They'll have to project the match onto the sheet so people can see.:)

Happend in the barrow brighton game aswell. Although the brighton striker getting his jaw broken by a left hook from the barrow defender was alot worse.

The type of person that takes the time to sharpen a coin beforehand should be banned for life, the only thing worse than being a scumbag, is being a scumbag who plans in advance.

2p's? probably a bagfull, there really isnt much in them.

I've have a 3 foot piece of copper hit me (the end of it not side on) square on the forehead, on the hairline and gouge a nice neat circle which bled a lot for about half an hour. I think i'd manage a coin. I dont think I'm any more sturdy on my feet than the nexty guy, but there was never a question of my dropping on the ground after it hit, I certinly wouldnt have been rolling around.

Don't be silly. They have netting at Serie A games that are fine enough to not let coins through but you can see through them just fine.

Anyone who scores a last minute equaliser against Roy Keane is a definite hero. And no, my Parker fetish is still very much alive.
