BBC Multiple arrests at Wear Tyne derby

[Harry Gates]

Is 8 regarded as multiple like?

If you were claiming that number of personalities, aye.

 

[UpTheDuff]

What’s the punishment for this kind of thing outside of a stadium? Arrested and released later without charge or will he be charged and progress down a legal and banning order route

He’ll be banned because that’s the rules.

 

[King Kareoke]

Was a bloke in the east stand watched full
Match with a panto horses head on

Saw that. Just in front of where I sit

 

[Mantobar]

True and for further stupidity I know someone who was arrested for refusing to come out of a tree.

Special branch involved?

 

[BackhouseParkRangers]

Was he in a stable condition ?

Had the bit between his teeth

 

[Billy2Sheds]

I’m betting on that old woman going nuts at the mags

I was wondering if she might get her collar felt for one of the insults she used in her rant which is considered homophobic. Would be OTT imho but…

Across sunderland, gateshead and that maggotville, probably more every other Saturday night

 

[Mackemansj1]

I bet 8 arrests out of 60,000 drunk people on a Saturday is a world record low

This be more on a normal weekend FFS, given how absolutely packed the town was with thousands out just to enjoy the day weren't even going to the game it's absolutely no amount of arrests that.

Back in the 70’s it was regularly over a 100 arrests at a derby match , maybe as many as 200 at one time iirc.

Barely made a small column in the papers.

@Luna17 will have a copy of the Echo

I would like to know where the other 3 were at......?

So quick to say around the Sunderland Stadium. Just another imbalanced view from the BBC.....

What an embarrassment she was.

And to think that the BBC actually has the brass neck to run a unit that advises kids how to avoid being misled by fake news and another one that evaluates claims that are made on the internet.

What we have here is just a lazy click bait headline that gives the impression that there was a significant amount of disorder at the match when the article below & the real facts present an entirely different story. I suppose that a headline reading "Only Eight arrests and almost no disorder" would receive little attention.

The BBC smugly claims to have high journalistic standards but there are endless examples that demonstrate that it clearly does not. One wonders why they have even bothered to give such an uninteresting story any prominence at all.

One was just outside of the new train station in town.

Lad was going on like a right nugget.

Stealing deodorant I'm guessing

The BBC have been on a downfall for a long time in terms of the standards of journalism. All you have to do is tune into Look North to see that in effect.

Five of those arrested were apprehended around Sunderland's stadium.

The other three were arrested elsewhere as police carried out an "extremely successful operation", the spokesman said.

So no one arrested inside the ground and 3 of the 8 were arrested it seems no where near the ground - possibly at home addresses and possibly for unrelated matters

Indecent chanting, drunk and disorderly conduct and drugs possession were among the alleged offences that resulted in eight men being arrested, according to a Northumbria Police spokesman.

So no one arrested for violence or public order offences?

Were any of the 8 even going to the game?

The supposed "friendly" in Aug 81 was one of the worst. Under 11000 attended, but 80+ arrests, woman pc attacked and problems from midday to 5pm.

Oh yes he did. And for some reason or other he was fairly heavily told off by some older bloke at the end - tbh the horses head was taken by others in good spirit etc, plenty of photos taken - perhaps the old fella was a closet mag!!!

Hope the horses heed told him to f**k right off

Did they tell the mag who had a pigeons head on all game ?
Bet they didn’t .
Seems like the club/stewards and police were instructed to clamp down on any anti Saudi stuff
Pretty remarkable when you think about it …free speech etc

It's called selective free speech
