Yes, would you just let him hit you then?

I would have stopped him from hitting me. I wouldn't have kicked him on the ground.

At least we agree at this.

lol we finally agree on something

This is the point I was making though. The keeper acted like a thug once the fan was on the ground.

If that thug didn't run onto the field, none of this would have happened. It is entirely his fault and he deserved all the kicking that he got. The thug attacked him so he gave him a taste of his own medicine and kicked him onto the ground so that the security could take him away.

No it's not. If that was Joey Barton instead of a Dutch keeper we would have been outraged.

Two wrongs don't make a right.

The opposition manager didn't see a problem in him kicking the 'fan'. He also understood why Alkmaar would walk off the pitch.

i think it was ridiclous he got a red card for it

That still doesn't make it the right thing to do though.

It probably wasn't the right thing to do but i refuse to blame the goalkeeper. It was that thugs fault for starting everything.

ok he shouldnt have done it, but i dont blame him for doing it!

Also, if the laws in Holland are similar to ours there will no doubt be a queue of lawyers ready to ask the fan to make a claim for compensation.
