No sympathy.
He was a drunken jambo who fell down the stairs.

[Duncer]

It was very funny, but is falling over really a reason to ban someone from every stadium in the UK?

I fell down a few stairs at a gig in the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow a few years back, and I was holding my first pint of the day as it happened. I know the assumptions everyone would most probably have made as I stood up with my half pint, but banning me would have been harsh. I'm all forbanning ligan, but the blow to this guy's dignity should suffice. After all, the world now knows he's a Jambo?

Have you watched the video?
Jambos have previous for attacking opposing players and managers.
Drunken may be an polite description.

Hearts fan.

[Duncer]

"Have you watched the video?"

Yup - he falls over.

"Jambos have previous for attacking opposing players and managers."

A man in my old street in Belfast shot people because of their religion/politics. I lived there for years without ever doing this or feeling the need to do it. He fell over.

True Duncer

It was a highly charged game.
A man fell down, possibly under the influence of the drink.
He was huckled out of the stadium.
End of story.

They've probably done him for entering the field of play. That's very harsh, if you ask me. FREE THE TYNECASTLE ONE!!!!!

Why have icurun's posts been removed? I can't recall anything dodgy about them.

[factor-fiction]

Maybe he has been banned- as part of that process all his posts from all threads would have been removed

[Duncer]

Possibly, but his/her posts on this thread were quite reasonable.

[factor-fiction]

I don't think it matters, Duncer- I think that as soon as a user's status is changed to 'banned' all their posts are removed from AB. It means that any helpful/reasonable posts are removed also but I assume that's the Ed's policy
