He ran into the crowd and confronted him but there’s absolutely no footage of any form of assault, to perpetuate this without any evidence to suggest it is dangerous.



I think you know the answer to this.

Dangerous? To who?

In the very first video at the start you can see him swinging?

Yeah, that's a long ban.

So we're going to be without Dier for quite a while. Without Dele for 3 games. Lucas and Bergwijn have joined injury fc. Son, Kane and Sissoko are firmly on injury fc. Lloris has rejoined them. Good stuff, Spurs.

Have those saying he's going to get a massive ban actually seen some footage we haven't? Or are you just jumping to conclusions?

I don't think players are supposed to jump into the stands confront & threaten fans ...I may be wrong on that but I think it's frowned upon

if there is no footage, then it didnt happen. How would that be therefore be dangerous?

The stadium cameras will pick out every action and probably every comment. Fingers crossed it was just handbags, if he threw any punches he will be in big trouble.

Dangerous to everyone involved who could be affected by a wild malicious rumour spreading like crazy.

As for that video, watched it over and over, can’t even make out his target, all I see is Dier stumbling through people and being engulfed by the crowd and security.

Relax lads - it was all stage & promotion for the AJ Vs Pulev fight at the lane - apparently, it was Eddie Hearn who arranged it.

So you’re saying that spreading a damaging rumour without evidence isn’t dangerous? If that’s your starting point my friend, then we have nowhere to go from here.

And? What has age got to do with it? Have you seen him play the defensive midfield role lately? He may well crack it again at CB, but he is shadow of his former self.

Dont agree. I think he bulked out alot over the last couple of years and the loss of mobility meant he wasnt effective at CM anymore. I think he has looked immediately much more comfortable at CB and that is where he should continue.

Even so - his after-show antics will put a stop to that more than likely.

Yeah people are seeing what they want to see I think.
He'll probably get a bit of a slapped wrist and maybe a short ban, but all this 'banned for the rest of the season' stuff is just hysterics.

Well it's lucky we aren't on 34 points or something as we'd be getting dragged into the relegation battle

A damaging rumour about an imaginary racist? Are we worried about a racist that doesnt exist?

Nowhere to go indeed.

Look a bit harder. Agree you can't really see the target but you can see his arm/elbow repeatedly drawing back to strike. (Presuming you're watching the same video as me). He's gonna be in big trouble. Great for the Amazon doc though.

Maybe. Who knows. Will depend on the specifics.

I imagine the FA will haul him in on some charge or another. It doesnt look like it was Cantona level physical assault.
