talking when he should have been listening.... no case to answer.

"Game descended into chaos"??? - don't you love the Daily Mail.

I thought the same but it's news after all but regardless of if you're Widnes or Wire, the whole episode tarnishes the game, especially when a rag like that gets hold of it!

In these days of instant video technology it is probably more advisable for stewards to abandon head shots & karate chops & revert to the good old tried & tested knee in the nuts or the Australian squirrel grip.

That, is illogical, Cat

The video footage (especially slowed down) once again show the punches landing on the arm. Lets wait and see what the police find as the cause of those injuries.

You never know............knowing the Daily Mail it might have been Princess Diana's fault !!

Has the fan been charged with anything? I bet his mate neglected to film what he was doing before the stewards got hold of him. The Mail also didn't bother to ask him what he was doing in the middle of all the trouble. Strange how the steward is hitting his arm in the video, but he's got bruising to the face. I wonder what he'd been doing beforehand.

I said on the VT thread of this. Why did it take so long for the mail to publish this story and when were the photos taken of the so called fan.

If he was one of those detained that night, his "injuries" would have been noted by the police before his release. If he wasnt..................wasnt there trouble on the way to the station after the game?

Yes, there was a full blown fight about 100 yards before they got to the station, however if he had been arrested he wouldn't have been released by then. we only have half a story and I'm sure the lad himself will have conveniently forgotten the other half of it. Bit of a smokescreen been thrown up here, some seem to have forgotten that if the Widnes fans had not kicked off, then the incident with the steward would not have occurred.

It's a Widnes thing
