So did Dier hit this person? Did he even intend to hit this person? Or was he bounding you the stairs to remonstrate and argue? We obviously don’t know, but unless it can be proven that Dier was either violent or intended to be violent, I don’t see anything other than a storm in a teacup.You notify the stewards who intervene and/or notify the police and they arrest the culprit. You cannot whether it’s family or not jump into the crowd and attack and/or go for said person. In every day life if someone was abusive to a family member and you hit them when surrounded by multiple witnesses/cctv you would get charged with battery/ABH/GBH. It’s admirable what Dier did but it was also a massive no no and he will be heavily punished for it. I think we can safely say he won’t feature again once the FA has dealt with him.
