You shouldn’t really comment on this if you’re not 100% sure you’ve got a good handle on the facts. The person who threw the punch at Slough is late twenties and a fully grown adult. Kangaroo kid is a 16 year old. To answer your question, yes he was at the scene, I’ll say no more than that as it’s not my place to apportion any blame when I have no idea if he did anything beyond mouthing off. As Phil mentioned though it’s all on CCTV so those who are guilty will have no place to hide this time. Fair enough if I've mixed people up I stand corrected. Whoever that was shown on the video, regardless of age, I believe should be banned, at least for a season, if not longer. But as Phil said he’s in a possession of footage that shows the incident in a totally different context. Why should he be banned if he hit out in self defence and furthermore has shown remorse and cooperated fully with the club and the police and has not been involved in any further trouble? Its coming across like you just want him punished and aren’t looking at the facts objectively. At the end of the day there’s three sides to the story, the Boro supporters, the Slough supporters, and the truth. Things are seldom as straightforward as they initially appear and I think we should trust the good people at our club to act rationally, fairly and appropriately.

Self defense or not, that's still assault.

Self defense or not, that's still assault. Clearly you don’t understand the law around self defence, I’ll help….. A person who is attacked or believes that they are about to be attacked may use such force as is both necessary and reasonable in order to defend themself. If that is what they do then they act lawfully.

Look at the video I posted. The FARNBOROUGH guy in the white shirt clearly barges two elderly gentlemen to the ground. Its hardly self defence is it, when a clearly younger man assaults two pensioners who are no threat to him. Maybe you need to get some new glasses Boromike, or do you not like to admit the truth?

Maybe you need to engage your brain, learn the skill of critical thought and the ability to decipher written English! What part of ‘I will just say that the video I have, taken looking down on the whole area, shows that in a completely different context’ are you struggling so badly with? As you’re refusing in anyway to look at the situation objectively, I’ll pose a three part question for you in simple terms, that even Forest Gump would understand: If there was not more to the incident in the video than meets the eye (as you are so keenly and repeatedly stating), why has the Boro fan involved - A. not been arrested? B. not been charged with assault? C. not been banned by the club (except while investigating the incident)? I await your intelligent, objective and well thought through reply…..

You can say what you want Boro Mike, you smug git. Fact is Farnborough FC have a problem with pest infestation and the problem will only get worse while cowards like you are either in denial or havent got the balls to deal with it. Now jog on.

This is a forum where we should be discussing Farnborough Football Club in a respectful manner rather than hurling abuse. If you don't understand the facts of what is going on, don't comment. It could get you into trouble.

Fact is Farnborough FC have a problem with pest infestation and the problem will only get worse while cowards like you are either in denial or havent got the balls to deal with it. Now jog on. Hi Eddie So just wanted to highlight some things for you. Going to start with your very first post in the forum: ‘Hi Farnborough fans, Slough fan here in peace,. I enjoyed the game on Saturday, thought it was a fair result as we were the best team first half, and you were easily better than us second half. And yes, Kuhl was the best player on the pitch (wish we still had him)! Also pleased the day went off without any crowd issues. Personally dont agree with segregation at our level. Never seen so many coppers in Slough High Street, they even came in our Spoons before the game. Spoke to a couple of genuine Farnborough fans in the pub and they were all in agreement that fat drummer boy and his mates were not wanted. Anyway, Merry Xmas and see you next season.’ Let’s make a start shall we….. You’ve said Slough Fan in peace. Yet all you’ve pretty much done since is name call, hurl abuse etc. You spoke to genuine Farnborough fans who said that they didn’t want trouble makers here (I’m not going to use your discriminatory language as quite honestly if you said that in a football ground your likely to be removed for that exact reason - discrimination). This forum are full of genuine Farnborough fans who have near unanimous said that if they had served there sentence and are behaving then we will happily count them back - as one of them has done. The other two we are all in agreement that they had a second chance, they didn’t do what was required so will hopefully get a lifetime ban. Every club has a minority group who like to cause trouble. I know personally when I was at Slough I got called a fat c*** by several of your young fans during the first half. But is that ok? Considering I’m 52 I highly doubt it. Is the fact I saw your young fans squaring up to ours towards the end of the game ok? The police have seen footage, by the sounds of it both directors have seen footage. We put out more statements than Slough and if the rumour mill is to be believed your managers dad was one of the first to throw a punch. So why don’t you focus on your team and we will focus on ours. Or in others words, to quote yourself, jog on

See you next season then, hopefully without Fat Drummer Boy and Kangaroo Kid, although I very much doubt it.

Quite possibly the worst retort ever. Given you had the opportunity to try a balanced and thought through reply that’s really disappointing. I’m embarrassed for you. Now, please kindly leave our forum.

truth hurts does it Mike, you loser? What truth? I posed a very reasonable question, you chose to ignore it and not provide an answer, I wonder why! Actually, I don’t wonder, it’s because the question proved your ‘truth’ to be far from factual. If you insist on staying please refrain from being abusive.

So having seen the video I posted do you think it is acceptable for a young man to knock over two pensioners (in self defence or not), causing multiple bruising, irrespective of whether the video does not show the whole picture (as Phil M,s video claims to show?)
