I've read no knife was found and that's why they were not arrested on the spot
Read all my post?'Knife was later recovered from a bin' thats why
Investigation launched after Coventry city centre disorder | News | West Midlands Police
Police recovered a knife.
Hopefully the person who posted the video about the BLM banners will be charged and banned from CCFC.
Not enough evidence yet for me to say what really happened, though I see many people on here made up their minds even before this statement came out.
Agree 100% on the guy who filmed himself being a racist moron.
You probably won't be happy until there's a headline in the Telegraph saying "racist Coventry city fans chase black men for no reason" though to be fair.
There's literally people in the video screaming "he's got a blade" and "he's got a knife". Let's not make this a race thing, leave that to the prick who filmed himself who will be dealt with.
I haven't mentioned race once, but clearly it's on your mind. Now you mention it, maybe that's why you see a video of two black guys getting chased by a crowd of white kids throwing bottles and immediately assume they're "dickheads". Personally I prefer to wait for the evidence before I confirm or deny my prejudices, but if you're happy to base your opinions from what you overheard a couple of guys saying on Twitter, then I doubt much will change your mind. Sounds like you jump to conclusions pretty easily.
Dickheads with a knife
Both men were searched and escorted away from the scene. A knife was later recovered from a bin and CCTV enquiries will be progressed today.
I think this kind of gives it away
That would apply if they were white, black or anything else. Anybody carrying a knife is a dickhead.
I'm repeating myself, but we don't yet know if they had a knife. The police have clearly been careful not to say that yet. Again, it may not stop people from assuming it anyway - some folk just like to assume stuff about certain kinds of people.
Maybe they'll be right in the end, but it's uncomfortable to think about those kinds of assumptions isn't it?
People saw the bloke with a knife going to a celebration where some young families were also present. THAT makes me uncomfortable.
Not uncomfortable in the slightest, the same as it isn't uncomfortable to say the bloke who made the video is an utter scumbag.

You're saying the quiet part loud - the fact that you're just as comfortable coming to your two conclusions about the people involved shows that it's not hard evidence you're interested in. Can't say I'm surprised, but I didn't think you'd just come out and admit it!
Anyway, I'm sure you'll be celebrating if it turns out those two guys did fit the stereotype! Keep complaining to the CET in the meantime (sorry, I still don't work for them)
Without wanting to get dragged into this, it makes me equally uncomfortable to assume or believe a group of 30 Coventry fans would unprovokedly attack two unarmed defenceless Black men for no reason.
From my observations of the video the only one who gets any real credit is the guy who was trying to calm it down and de-escalte the situation as he has put himself between an angry mob and two men potentially/allegedly carrying weapons.
Is a video of him after a beating but appare fly its oldThe bloke who made the video is called Simon James apparently and runs the standard bear pub I believe he got a hiding also last night after his antics
Agree with you entirely! Truth be told there isn't much difference on this thread between me and the people calling me a prick and floating conspiracy theories about me being a CET plant (maybe I should complain to the mods). I just think it's wise to be skeptical and wait for the evidence before I jump to conclusions that buy into seriously dodgy stereotypes. So I'm assuming nothing.
I am just pointing out that you only appear when somebody mentions the Telegraph and didn't bother with any of the posts about being crowned champions yesterday.
That's just fact.
The fact you want to try and make out that it is concluded just based on skin colour is where you seem to be struggling.
I have never said you work for the Telegraph either, just that we got promoted yesterday and you didn't seem to comment on that but straight in on this thread. Bit strange really, nice way to try and discredit though when somebody points out things about the Telegraph.
You suggested I work for the CET as recently as last month fwiw (I went back and checked, because clearly you have!) I've no idea why you're so fascinated with me, considering I don't post much, and I've never wanted my own reply guy. Instead you're choosing to insult me and bang on about race and the CET before I even bought up either one in this thread. You do you, pal.
I haven't seen the poster video. Where is that one?

Did anyone see anything like what this person is suggesting ?
You seem to be avoiding commenting on the fact the article omits a significant element of the police statement
I just point out facts that you only appear to defend the Telegraph when you post on here.
It's a CCFC forum, you probably fail to notice that.
