Bottle thrower
You certainly don't want to see things like this happen too often. It happened during a Betis-Atletico Bilbao match on Saturday, which was suspended 2-1 in the 72nd minute.
As Steve wrote this is the 2nd time that has happened with Betis fans. Last year a thrown bottle from the crowd knocked then Sevilla coach Juande Ramos out. Closing the stadium for a few games hasn't prevented a similar incident from happening again. Steve is right a points deduction would be in order.
But you do have to say those Betis fans have some good arms!
How long is it before a player or coach is killed on the field? Bottles, batteries, guns?
ReplyDeleteAll that's left now is the incredibly tense waiting game...
that's twice now after the Ramos incident , a points deduction I hope.
