Man assaulted after son wearing black n white in Sland

[Donnybrook]

And the moral is dont do it

Whilst it cannot be defended, why are people wearing Newcastle tops in Sunderland, it's obvious it's just to get a reaction, I guess they got what they wanted but it didn't end as suspected.

If true it happened at 7pm on Saturday which means he could possibly be going to the Cinema as Sunderland match was finishing.
Wonder how the press got hold of the story? Look forward to the north east news tonight

Durham Mag no less, should be done for cruelty making his son wear it

 

[scott934]

Obviously done to get a reaction but violence is way OTT, should have just called him an ugly little kernt.

That’s what I was going to say like. Went looking for attention, got more attention than he anticipated. Obviously whoever clipped him is also a complete tit, but the situation could have been avoided.

Also, on a match day. Everyone involved is a bit silly

I used to wear me sunderland shirt in Newcastle when I was a kid, never had any bother. Once had someone point and laugh after we got relegated but thats it

Shouldn't happen. Attacking a man when his son is there ffs.

On another note. Dress f***ing decent if not going to the match ffs. Never have them tops off the stinkers.

 

[vinegar hill]

Shocking behaviour and we all know in a perfect world it shouldn’t happen but we all know or should know it’s not a perfect world.
The way I see it he put his son and himself in jeopardy, at the end of the day he was being a provocative bellend.

 

[Roker Scoreboard]

Of all the tops he could have worn to the cinema in Sunderland, on a matchday he goes and chooses a mag top?

Would anyone on here knowingly do that walking up Northumberland Street when they are home ?

It's absolutely pathetic tbh and I feel guilty for laughing at "You’re too young for a slap but your dad’s not"

 

[MarcoG]

I'm not entirely sure a 13 year old kid wearing a football top is looking for attention, suspect if roles were reversed and this was a Sunderland fan in Newcastle then the comments on this thread would be completely different.

Clattering someone because they support a different football team to you is sad as fuck like doing it in front of their bairn is even worse. It's football, it's really not that deep.

 

[Mackem Al]

Totally unacceptable. However, he made sure he got in "my neck is still stiff and sore" for the compo claim.

I wear my Sunderland tops now and again in the summer when out walking the dog around Cramlington but nobody ever bats an eyelid.

When i used to live in Wallsend got absolute dogs abuse and would only ever wear my SAFC shirts when going to the match and tried to cover up as best i could under a coat.

 

[garyeaststand]

Happens both ways kids in rival strips in Newcastle snd Sunderland, the dads should know better and daft thing is they prob wouldnt wear one themselves without their kid with them, only takes one scum bag why put your family in that position

 

[HABA87]

Sounds like it happened going off the police appeal.

There must be half a dozen cinemas closer to Shildon than the one in Sunderland. Strange.

And on a match day too. Even stranger.

Still, assault is assault and one punch can kill, so hopefully the assailant is identified and caught.

I used to live in Newcastle and I saw it a few times. Young kids walking down Northumberland street or in Eldon Square in Sunderland tops.

Undoubtedly happens everywhere but as a parent it’s common sense to keep your kids safe. I distinctly remember as a kid wearing a Sunderland jumper to go to Newcastle and my dad made me go and change before we left the house. At the time I didn’t understand but he was just keeping me safe from any potential nutter, and I’m the same now with my boys. I know it shouldn’t be like that but there is always one idiot who will go to far.

Durham Mags are the literal worst kind.

No cinema closer to Shildon he could have gone to knowing SAFC were at home?

 

[Bears Beets]

I’m leaning towards this not actually happening.

However, If it did happen then the bloke who threw the punch deserves what’s coming.

 

[chriswallace85]

It's terrible really like, but I bet the silly sod thought they we're being git clever showing their colours so close to the ground on a matchday.


Violence is pathetic though. The clown who threw the punch should know we're better than that - thankfully his mates did.

 

[MoreSouthAmericans]

tbf- people wear football shirts all the time, especially kids- likely just forgot or is just daft and didn't remember that there is some weird unwritten social rule where my child shouldn't wear this particular t-shirt because people support a different team in this town- or more likely thought- 'he's only a bairn why would anyone be enraged at a child wearing a tshirt?'...
football rivalries outside of actual football are tedious anyway- but this is utterly pathetic.

 

[Bamber]

Poor lad is the victim here, feel awful for him. The dad is a stupid daft twat for allowing this situation to occur and whoever did it is scum.

Lots of lessons to be learned here.
