Thierno Barry

Well he was crap again. Its the same review of another performance. If he plays well I definitely won't need to repeat myself

You could put a coma patient to sleep.

If I got my mates tickets and sat then with Everton fans, then they celebrated when we conceded and they got a slap - I'd tell them they deserved it and never get them tickets again.

Absolute biff behaviour

But yeah, in an ideal world there'd be no violence and the stewards would just remove them at the first sign of them not supporting the same team as those around them.
But these lads celebrated both goals and we're still there filming people leave.
The stewards have some blame here as well

Can we stop saying they got a slap?

There’s a world of difference between getting a slap and what actually happened.

[superpull]

Ok, they were brutally murdered.

I think a lot of it has been blown out of proportion all round.

I don't feel any different about Barry at all. It was a silly mistake to get his mates tickets there if they are Arsenal fans, and what has happened in the away end is regrettable, but entirely predictable and the response would be similar (or worse) in away ends all over the world. We're no different and we're certainly no better, but also no worse than other fanbases.

I don't see why it has to be some huge deal where he wants to leave the club either. Things happen in life, people carry on and move on.

Two of our fans got legged from the Fulham end for goodness sake

[weimaranerblues]

Waiting for Sky to have it on a reel all day and wonder what narrative will they take......

What a moron getting Arsenal fans tickets in our section
Mind you he doesn't seem to be the brightest bulb in the lamp.

I wonder if their behaviour was partly down to being Barry's mates so thought they were probably immune / protected and could do what they wanted with retribution?

Still doesn't excuse anything though, if I saw someone doing that would I think 'class, I get to punch someone in the face now'? No, because I'm not a violent knob head.

[Evertonian418]

No excuse for violence but common sense by Barry should have prevailed.
