Amongst the foam pigs and woeful defending this afternoon, did anybody else notice that bespectacled dickhead grab that bloke and tear his sweatshirt? It happened about 5 mins after the restart, first row of upper section separated by the concourse.

I was in the top tear never saw any commotion.
Saw some handbags at Cov train station though while waiting for a taxi home, that was quite funny.

I did. Right next to me.

The aggressor in it was stood in a disabled bay. A lady in a wheelchair returned for the second half and he refused to move standing in her way. Both she and her carer made him aware they'd returned for the second half. He still refused to budge until a steward came along had a friendly word, received a hug (strange), then the lady was able to continue watching the game.

He took exception at comments made by our fans telling him how wrong and out of order he was for refusing to move from in front of a disabled lady who just clearly wanted to watch the game!

He immediately junped up on to the raised area grabbing the fan by the cuff of his jacket, he acted in self defence to avoid being punched. Surprised his friends either side didnt seem to help.

Stewards very slow at responding, and we're almost not going to throw the idiot fan out! Think he was eventually escorted out after still acting the idiot coming for the fan in the top tier a second time and Beibg verbally abusive when the stewards were around him.

Was really unnecessary, from standing in front of a wheelchair bound lady in the first instance to thinking being challenged was harsh. Was clearly put for only one thing and after he didn't get the reaction he wanted from a carer (that's low enough!), he went looking elsewhere for it.

Blimey sw, match reports, ringside reports. Sky sports could do with someone like you.

Saw a similar thing at Swindon . a few older fans sitting in their seats watching the game a few rows from the front , only for two Bozos to turn up late and , stand right at the front blocking the older fans view . asked nicely if they could sit down - gesticulated , in true thuggish behaviour , mouthing off etc at the older fans . wouldn't listen to reasoning to behave themselves . eventually Steve Brown got through to them , and moved . what the hell is wrong with these type of ''Fans'' ?

I, on the other hand........
I noticed that lads belligerent attitude when he stood and then refused to move from the reserved wheelchair user area after being asked to do so. He clearly had some sort of 'agenda' for the day. I happened to look over, not far from where we were and noticed he had climbed up the railing to grab that other bloke. Absolute tool.
As you stated - it looked as though the stewards weren't even going to eject him at first.

Didn't see anything in our end but hearing 3 of the Charlton security team have been arrested for assault due to an altercation with a bloke with a Roland out banner.
