Title: Spitting incident at Dorking
Post by: Red Balloon on April 07, 2024, 11:02:27 PM
Lets hope the club take this incident seriously by the alleged Altrincham 'supporter'. Absolutely disgusting behaviour which is now circulating on social media, that was vile.

Those nearby hardly covered themselves in glory either.

100% agreed - this is the sort of thing that gives the lot of us a poor reputation whether we like it or not.

Regardless of what each of us thinks about Dorking and their socials (I think they're completely harmless and obviously a good watch for the majority), this isn't the first incident given they seemed to get a fair bit at our place too.

I hope the club does what is right and hands out quite a lengthy ban - or a permanent one as far as I care.

The vast majority of us would never dream of doing something like that - get rid.

What on earth was he thinking, hope he gets a long ban. Think you can also call into question the behaviour of another fan in this incident who seems to be giving the camera man an earful. Personally think there's a case for a ban for him as well, irrespective of how long he's been supporting the club. What on earth had the cameraman done to deserve that. As the earlier post said, there was abuse dished out in the home game. Its the sort of thing that has to be nipped in the bud very quickly by the club, to show that they are on top of issues with fan behaviour, which unfortunately have been increasing as this season has gone on.

Did you attend the game or are you just  looking at a video? I didn’t give the camera man abuse. I was having a back and forth with a supporter in the terrace behind the goal. It’s a football match, people get heated, the whole of the YouTube show is about a man getting cross at a football match and giving officials grief

Spit - long ban.

Shouting - was obviously at the home fans and would not constitute 'verbal abuse'.

Slight tangent, but do we know why there were at least three cameras pointed at the away fans as we were leaving?

 It shouting at Dorking is not encouraged. There was a sign at the front of the seating area asking us to be considerate of their neighbours and “keep noise to a minimum”😂

I absolutely can't stand Dorking and would love them to get relegated but spitting is disgusting and I would ban the bloke for life if it was down to me. Not only is it vile behaviour in its own right, it puts the good reputation of the club at risk.

It is totally irrelevant if you can't stand a certain football club or not. Spitting is a disgusting act and I hope the 'gentleman' in question is fully ashamed of himself.

Mentioned before that it is a football match and people get heated. Well if you can't control your emotions then stay at home and don't give us decent folk a poor reputation.

This was an incredibly dumb move, and I don't want to let my distaste for the guy who runs BoA affect how I feel about this. It was terrible, no question the lad should at the very least miss this chance to see Alty promoted.

I just don't get how this had to be public? Have a word with the club, know they will be able to deal with it in house and be done with it or at least keep it somewhat private. Instead an Alty fan who goes home and away is publicly shamed.

It makes me delighted that he will be back filming NLS games at sports centres again rather than getting to feel big time on the coat tails of a loudmouth with a few bob to waste.

In most cases, spitting at a person deliberately will constitute an offence of assault in UK law.

Are you trying to excuse this 'gentleman' because he goes to home and away matches?

Jesus....

Curious Red Balloon you have posted a grand total of once on here before this thread & that over a year ago. Our best league season, with numerous amazing highlights, since 94-95 & none of that has moved you to post once. Then suddenly you start the thread last night & now replying obsessively. You’re a troll & not an Alty fan. Back to Wrexham with you.

Yes. I've got to admit that I had suspicions about that too.

Not sure how many Wrexham fans remember the 'Red Balloon' toy shop in Grafton Mall on George Street. Hence my name, you are totally way off beam here sunshine.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion if said in the correct manner, in which I have done so. Posting once in a blue moon or twenty times a day is again irrelevant.

He absolutely deserves to be publicly shamed - it was a disgraceful thing to do - the fact that he didn't think he was being filmed doesn't matter one iota.

I think what he was saying was that he found it strange that you could find nothing else to comment on across the whole season to date given what great times there have been.

Unbelievable clap trap stop embarrassing yourself. Maybe we should ban you for a match because you made a patronising post on this forum to Sarf London Alty?

Let me guess the line of what is allowed is exactly where you want it? Without the passion of some fans this club could be extinct.

Totally agree, if you're going to be at a football match at this level in 2024 then there will be cameras everywhere. Mobile phones, social media, YouTube TNT, you name it. Poor behaviour is always more likely to be shown far and wide these days. It was a dreadful thing to do, our club's reputation has been damaged in public and so the response needs to be public from our club too.

No I wasn't at the match. The video doesn't seem to support your version, but I'll take your word for it that this was the case. The next question is then, should you not have grown out of shouting abuse at total strangers by now? I've witnessed you do that countless times in the Pop Side.You could never doubt your loyalty but maybe it's time to reflect on some aspect of your behaviour inside a football ground?

It use to have a train going round above your head when you went in… You should offer your subbuteo mat to Halifax so they can get a game played. 😂

Looking at both of the "incidents"

Spitting... completely unacceptable he is no doubt beating himself up more than anyone else could so is the public hanging of people in the times of social media.

He hasn't killed anybody but he has done wrong and no doubt the club will issue a punishment accordingly

Getting emotional and shouting at a game .. are you serious? Look if that is the case there would be no players on the field and very few supporters.

If you have played the game at any level you will know  it takes desire and passion and emotion

Same for supporters and if shouting at a game is unacceptable just call it a day now

It is just passion nothing more nothing less. I shout and curse when I go to Alty, but I do return to normality after the game is over,. If you want to avoid the shouting and cussing then I suggest going to the Opera.

I sat down with a pencil and paper to list the number of times I'd spat at someone either intentionally, accidentally or in any other circumstances. I do believe in giving people second chances. I've still got a blank piece of paper
Who threw shouting and verbal abuse into the discussion is clouding the issue.
There is no justification in launching phlegm airborne under any circumstances at an intended target. It's cowardly, unhygienic and neanderthal misbehaviour which does not have any place in civilised society. You don't do it accidentally like tripping up.I vote 👎.

Where have I said Spitting is passion.?. You should read things properly before you come on here making accusations. Give your head a wobble.
