Lifetime ban considered for fan who threw beer at referee.

While throwing a plastic cup of beer isn't the worst thing you can throw, stamping out anything being thrown onto a pitch needs to be the priority. And sending a clear message with a lifetime ban is certainly a way to prevent it becoming a regular thing.

Absolute scum. Doesn't matter how unpopular a decision is, a ref does not deserve that.
They're fucking humans with families.
Wasn't a fella banned for life for pouring a pint over a player? I think it was in the Aviva premiership

I mean, the ref has to take flak from drunk idiots who literally don't know the rules. He could use a beer.

I didn't get to see the game. Was there any decisions made that were controversial?

The ref was shit on both sides, but the poor linesman who got the beer did nout wrong.

Clancy, who was running touch, didn't seem to notice some obvious things but nothing really outside the norms of annoying ARs, the pint was definitely not called for.

It's one thing trying to get involved by shouting and looking for penalties that mightn't be there but to physically abuse a ref is a low thing to do. If we didn't have refs we wouldn't have the match !

Bloody retarded thing to do, and that's someone hating Clancy with a passion saying it.

good, good

Good, I hope his two mates don't bother coming back either. They turn up every week and stand in the same spot and spout absolute shit about the refs and barely watch the match.
Pint-cunt won a signed shirt in a pre season friendly too, should be made to give it to a young fan who had to witness him being a twat.
Was that when they had to drop kick a pen and they were all embarrassingly shit, it just went to the least shit one?
Yepp.
I reckon you stand fairly close to where I do.
First bar up from the front, north terrace, just left of halfway!
Same place, but on the 10m line right side of half way. Funny enough, we used to stand right where these lads are (there used to be four of them). But moved backwards in to the terrace as we didn't want people to think we were with them. I give the lineo jip if they miss blatant stuff but these guys are way over the top.
If you have any info on the guy...

I wish I knew more, only that he and his mates turn up every match in the same spot. All I would be able to do is point out the people he turns up with but I doubt they'd be willing to grass on him. Then again, they can see who he's with from the video.
A lot of the people in that part of the ground are season ticket holders or regulars, I doubt they'll make him feel welcome if he decides to show his face again.
Perhaps throwing beer dregs over him every game would be some kind of sweet childish justice!
That sounds like a lot of fun, but I wouldn't want to piss that lot off.
I take it you've seen the aforementioned before as to the vitriol of your comments.
Are they the ones with proper staccato Cardiff accents?
You're absolutely right but I have to confess when I saw Clancy was the ref in question I couldn't help but think "well that kinda makes sense".
I don't even see what needs considered they should automatically get a ban though.
