Yeah, but the bloke shouldn't have pushed the kid. You get physical, even pushes, you pay the price.There was a lion's supporter near me and there was some friendly banter going on between him and the young lads in the row in front of me.
Then in the third quarter as the game got ugly this Lions supporter told the guy in front he should go for an umpires license (because he thought he was an expert on everything). The young lad turned around and called him a "fücking campaigner" at which point the lion's supporter pushed him in the shoulder.
It was much ado about nothing. Complete escalation for nothing. The young lads mate called security who came over, listened to the people in the section as to what happened and deemed there was no more action to take place.
Things were calm. Then at 3/4 this young lad goes to his dad who was one section over who then got another security guard to investigate. This security guard pulled the lion's supporter out to talk to him at which point the dad said the lion's supporter punched his son (he did nothing of the sort) and security agreed with this version of events and asked the lion's supporter to leave.
The initial security guard came up to me because I was confused AF with what was going on, and she apologised profusely saying "it wasn't me" (who kicked the Lion's supporter out).
Total shitshow. Completely unnecessary and quite frankly a dog act.
