So tragic. Lose your life over bloody football FFS!
Its a rough hole is The Manchester at the best of times. Once got caught up in a right bar room brawl in there with two stag dos going at it hammer and tong.

RIP to the gentleman who lost his life in this tragic incident and condolences to his family and his friends as well...
Has happened all to often in Glasgow this kind of incident over many years -
Nothing for or against either Blackpool FC or Burnley FC but I’ve enjoyed a good few party trips to Blackpool so it’s very sad to hear this news... ☹️

Living on the Fylde it brings it home to you how utterly senseless something like this is. RIP

Indeed a tragic loss of life. However reports suggesting he was amongst a group of Blackpool fans who headed to The Manchester seeking a confrontation with Burnley fans in their designated away pub. The deceased was allegedly involved in the fight, seen punching and kicking rival fans, reports and a video of the incident suggest. Apparently he gets hit by a Burnley fan, eventually paramedics take him to hospital where he later died. As I say, awful conclusion to the incident, too many of these incidents are returning to the game.

Thinking about this incident right at the minute as EFL highlights have just started on STV and the first game up is Blackpool v Burnley...
That guy would probably have been in that crowd at Bloomfield Road and now he’s no longer living -
Hope it’s just a one off and we don’t hear about an incident like this again in football for a long long time - ideally never again...

Having seen the footage, he only has himself to blame. Went back for more and it ended badly.

Well the last two posts are chalk and cheese on the subject. I suspect the truth is somewhere inbetween. RIP.

It could easily have been him in a cell right now and a Burnley fan dead. I have zero sympathy if this happens to someone who has gone looking for it.

Both should get 50 points deducted. Town stay up.
In all seriousness. Absolutely moronic behaviour. Yes rivals exists, but to go to such extremes is pathetic and vile.
No person or family deserve that.
Editied- those who saw... silly me

No person or family deserve that. I'm afraid, like million above, zero sympathy if he was looking for it and just as culpable as the rest. Not read all the article, did this guy have kids? 55 years old and he sees fit to be involved in fisticuffs at a football match? Also, bit harsh to take points off Blackburn, but if it helps Town, we'll take it! 😉

I have a fair few blackpool fc supporters on Facebook having spent a lot of time there, some of them know him, his nickname was toe, he was associated with the muckers group apparently, there was a lot of trouble at the game, up bloomfield Road Burnley fans were attacking Pool fans, also down by the tram depot down Rigby Road. The hooligan element is back in the game, this time it has ended in a death, it's so meaningless.

I did think twice about posting this article, but my main point was the absolutely pointless nature of it, hence the title. I have the same view about incidents at chucking out time, it’s all bloody senseless & pointless, there are no winners in these incidents.
