Yeah, he seemed very big, until the bigger beardy bloke stood up and knocked his hat offCase of mistaken identity apparently. There was a bloke just behind beardy bloke who spent the first 10 mins getting really angry about literally everything. Think the lad down the front was having ago at him, and beardy bloke thought it he was having a go at him.... Needless to say angry man was very quiet for the rest of the match
I saw the poor kid crying and him walking to the other end and at the time felt sorry for them, bloke sounds a tool tbh so glad we have a first hand account.I was right next to it and know exactly what happened.
The guy on the end of block 32 was shouting and balling from the off, totally over the top and yes there was some bad language but I wouldn't say he was intimidating or aggressive but he was a bit of a nuisance, (this isn't the baldy guy you're on about, he enters the fray later).
Bearded guy has had enough and asks him in a reasonable manner to pipe down, watch the language he has a kid with him etc.
Maniac starts to defend himself saying he's shouting at the players he's not doing any harm etc. That causes bearded bloke to launch in to a tirade where every other word was fuck or c**t, (which is strange considering he was bothered about bad language around the young girl), mixed in with some threats to knock maniac out , at this point the girl starts crying, prompting beardy bloke to say to maniac, "now look what've you've done"!.
In the meantime a few fans around the vicinity of the incident have also started having a pop at the maniac, however, baldy bloke isn't having any of it and starts having a go at bearded bloke for his over the top reaction and pointing out he caused the young girl to burst in to tears. Him and bearded bloke burst out of their seats and square up to each other and stewards start to head towards the incident, bearded bloke grabs his bag and the kid and fucks off and baldy bloke, who in my opinion was right about the bearded blokes over reaction goes back to his seat.
Maniac was quiet for the rest of the half and I took my customary wander to the other end of the stand at H/T so I could watch the goal mouth action so I don't know if there was any more nonsense after that.

That comes across as a police statement. Well written by the way !I was right next to it and know exactly what happened.

They should have given the little girl custard pies, and let her splat both of them. I'd have gone to Brum to watch that.Sounds like what was needed was a touch of humour to defuse the situation, when beardy guy and baldy squared up beardy guy should have draped his beard over baldy's shiny pate, they both would have laughed, shook hands and agreed what twats they'd been, the little girls tears of anguish would have turned to tears of laughter, Bob's your uncle.
The angry guy who first started it all - the one that the bearded chap objected to in the first place - he pisses me right off. Used to see him every few games near the front of block 17 at the Ricoh. On his feet waving his arms & bitching & moaning about something every two minutes. No idea why he even comes to games, it never looks like much fun for him.
How do you deal with someone like that ?Really? I thought it would be one of them where he wakes up in the morning, realised he'd had a bit too much to drink and behaved like an idiot and vow never to repeat his performance!
Can't believe he does that regularly. Can't be good for your health. Both from a blood pressure perspective and the increased chance of getting a leathering.
Some people post veiled threats on here to sound hard and I simply think internet warriors. If BBR says he gives someone a dig or threatens violence I 100% believe him. Seems a nice guy most of the time, old enough to be my dad, I'm 6ft2, 23 stone and yet I reckon I'm a bit scared of him!How do you deal with someone like that ?
A smack in the gob, grabbed by the throat, or took to one side for a "quiet "word ?
This type unfortunately believe they are acting normal, they are right and everyone else is wrong. We've all known this type of character, drank with or worked with. In my past I'd just give him a dig and that would suffice, or threaten violence to see his reaction. Now these days I prefer the verbal approach, and hope the person sees sense. Sadly and I'm not condoning it at all, some blokes only stop when they've had a few teeth loosened !
I’m normally far enough away that I just roll my eyes & think “ok he’s off again”. But if you were sat right behind him it would try your patience very severely. I’ve seen a few people having a word or taking the piss, but then he’s back the next time with exactly the same shit. So it’s evidently just the way he’s made & he can’t help himself.How do you deal with someone like that ?
Me and Houch must come to St Andrews to " have a word " with this chap. Only joking. I'm a reformed character these days, and mellowed years ago. Although I went to a boxing event on Saturday with my son and a mate, and wanted to put the gloves on and get in the ring. My son does charity boxing and so I'll leave it to him.Some people post veiled threats on here to sound hard and I simply think internet warriors.

No it's me attempting to be an amateur phsycologist!
Lol I did have to google it but I think it’s prob about right .
His rational brain is certainly not mulling anything over from what I’ve seen of him.

Fight or flight ? Mix it up. Say " look I don't want any trouble mate. " His guard goes down giving you room to deliver a boot to the nuts, and time for you to take flight. Sorted !Amygdala hijack.
