This was right where I sit and was an unfortunate affair.

There is a chap with a season ticket that shows signs of learning difficulties and often has Tourette type symptoms.

The chappy made some noise during the minute silence. It escalated from there. He wasn't really able to explain himself, people yelled at him which made him worse and then he ended with chips in his face.

People were very angry at him but I don't think they released he has some difficulties. It was a difficult day and clearly emotions were running high.

So you watched this happen and did nothing? poor form.

Best thing to do is nothing. you can not tell someone with problems to be quiet and have to shout to tell the fans who do not know about the fellows problem so it was a no win.

What was the matter with the people around him? If this is true, why'd didn't someone step in and help out? Or at that very least defuse the situation.

Shameful

More to the point why didn't they ignore him to start with. I appreciate feelings were running high yesterday and people were caught up in their own emotions and thoughts but there's something ironic about causing a commotion during a minutes silence in order to stop someone else making a commotion during a minutes silence

Well said.

 


It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

I think it's bad too and it's sad that nobody stood up for the fella especially as he had learning difficulties but having said that it an be difficult to stand up and do something. Sometimes it can take some bottle to stand up to people especially when they are being angry and aggressive. I'd like to think that I would have stood up and done something but by the time you decide to do or say something unless you act immediately the situation might already be over.
