      No idea, the translation just says bottle but when I go look at the replies on the tweet it shows him carrying a black bottle (looks plastic) and another water bottle with ice in it.

      Luckily his poor finishing with that chair may have saved him from a significant vacation from playing.


      On a serious note....

      Family members should never be put in danger, absolutely no excuse for that and even once his family is "safe" from those fans, I guarantee if I knew that one of them had been abused or worse (assaulted) by a fan that was still in the stands, I'm gonna go sort that fool out. If that's "wrong" so be it. Buying a ticket to a game doesn't give you the right to verbally or physically assault my family member without consequence. If you did that on the street you sure as hell wouldn't be expecting me to just walk away.

      I hear you, but in the end, what does this prove? What good comes from it, and what bad comes from it? Is the juice worth the squeeze. I've just been involved in to many situations where I've seen the outcome.go horribly wrong. I once had to charge a a male kid with manslaughter who had been brutally bullied by another kid for years, because he punched his bully. He had enough and hit the kid and the kid fell and hit his head on the pavement and died. It sucked, butbby law it had to be done. Now that's an extreme case, but crazy stuff happens all the time. Violence is a funny thing, and if you've never been in it, you just won't grasp it's ability until after it's over.

      And I say all of this and then say that both professionally and as a citizen I have been goaded into instances of violence that maybe could have been avoided. We are human and seeing a love one in fear of their safety does something to a real man. But if I look at it objectively we have to be better and onky resort to it when absolutely necessary.

      Perhaps yesterday it was, I dunno.

      Tried to bite my lip reading your last 2 posts but ffs come on are you mad!!!!
      Let me just clarify my position as a 30plus year bobbie most time.served in Moss side ( a little quaint place in Manchester)

      1. You may of charged that kid but pound to a piece of crap nothing happened to him.If it did your country and courts more messed up than recently reported.

      2. You can't just turn adrenalin on and off his family was in danger he flipped, the danger was still in the stands goading the team and family.

      3. Never patronise people with the " if you have never been in that position" stance.... Anger and how you cope with anger is deeply personal to the individual. Darwin did nothing wrong he swung hands with other human beings who wanted to swing hands, that has and always will be a fight should someone fall and die because of 2 consenting adults participating in a fight well so be it.
      Thousands of people in stand still wantung a fight Darwin runs at the stand with a chair whilst his family is on the pitch, to me he's still.protecting his family warning them not to come on the pitch.

      Nothing to see here.well done Darwin.

      Lot to break down here.

      Firstly, our system IS jacked up and unfortunately gets it wrong far too often. Seems to punish harshly in circumstances like I mentioned above and are very lenient when it comes to others. Atm we have a very liberal judicial system that is looking to rehabilitate and defer rather than punish, especially if the person has a substance abuse problem. Our country is eat up with methamphetamine and fentanyl atm and I would dare say it's a epidemic. In short, the system is fu**ed. If anyone from America has been a victim in court they would agree.

      You are absolutely right, adrenaline isn't something you can turn on and off and is a very real humanistic emotion that non are immune to. However, some do have the ability to slow down when things speed up. And when a threat is no longer a threat YOU MUST deescalate. Atleast that's how our statues in the states read.

      And as far the violence thing, why is it wrong to say that there is a level of understanding to it? Why is it wrong to question if what he did was right or wrong? I guess I don't understand that line of thinking. I can't not think that there must have been innocent people involved in all of this. Like so many violent actions, it creates a ripple effect that impacts a lot of innocent bystanders who didn't sign up for that.

      I am not justifying violence but he did what he felt is best to protect his family. I would have done the same.

      You can't judge him for defending his family. Hope everyone is alright.

      All males throughout the animal kingdom instinctively defend the female and offspring...it's quite literally natural behaviour. However what separates Humans from the rest of the animals is we have the capacity to reason, basically the ability to apply context to our understanding of events and react differently to them depending on our judgement, which we all refine through experience. In this incident, like most others, there is a scale to the perceived threat...with potential physical violence being a 10, and unpleasant verbal abuse being a 1. Most balanced and rational people will make an accurate, instinctive judgement and respond accordingly. Others, who are highly strung and overly emotional will overreact and lash out.
      I have no idea what level of threat Darwin's wife and child were in and so can't make a judgement about his reaction. I expect there will be some kind of investigation and if he's found to have been unjustifiably aggressive, then he will pay a price....A large fine, or perhaps a ban, alternatively he may be judged innocent of any wrongdoing.

      Am I the only one who is getting Suarez deja vu from this?  He wanted to move to Barca, so he caused problems (bit Chiellini at the WC) and we decided he was no longer worth the hassle.  I wonder if Darwin wants a move away ???

       :lmao: he could have been a street fighter character, chair special

      Thought he put up a good fight myself. There are some absolute lunatics who attend matches in that part of the world and in the absence of adequate stadium security you're going to defend your family and you may not necessarily be calm or measured in doing so.

      Yeaaaaaah.....not even remotely comparable.

      Suarez had history, he bit a player whilst at Ajax. The whole incident with Evra. The middle finger up after the game at Fulham. I really don't think at the moment Suarez was thinking "what stupid sh*t can I do now to force a move away, Oh I know...let's dig my teeth into Cheillini's shoulder"

      It's not inconceivable to think these Uruguyans are just mad nut cases (in a good way).

      Would I of done the same if I was in Nunez shoes? probably yes and who wouldn’t? does it make it right what he did? obviously not, I’d be just as guilty as Nunez for protecting my family. However, you’re all calling Dan but he has a more than valid point.

      Think we all know the Colombians are arguably the biggest villains as a nation and not to be messed with. Nunez a very very brave man taking that crowd on but we know the reasons why so don’t need to keep going over that. What gets me is when Cantona did his infamous kung fu kick you all slated him! what’ did he do differently that Nunez did? He protected his family honour and his mother. Once again would I of done the same in Cantona’s shoes? probably yes, was I right to do so? Obviously not.

      The governing body will have no option but to hit Nunez with a fine and probably ban despite us all probably doing the same thing.

      Dan has a point even though could have put it differently.

      Ps.. hope you have your flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 flying high Sunday la. 🤪🤪🤪





      Huge difference in what Cantona did mate, that was more individualist when that tw*t insulted his Ma, and like we discussed it was different back then, only those in the vicinity along with Cantona would have heard what was said, Cantona reacted instinctively whereas Nunez went in knowing his kin were in danger from all around them, and reacted like any of us would have, Eric Dyer did the same for his bro a few years back,

      Your correct in your opinion of Colombian fans especially in that part of the world and in that competition, it’s always a bit fiery most of the time, like a tinder box, doesn’t take much for it to kick off,

      as for your take on brainless Dan, his only point was to assume Nunez’s reaction was simply to go in swinging and cause as much chaos and shame on our club, hence his aside at what Suarez did, and didn’t give a moments thought of why, he could have put it differently, as I could when I said he was being a Cnut, and since he has yet to retract what he said leaves to the same conclusion, he’s still a Kunt, a slightly different Cnut, but a Kunt all the same !!!

      My post was a bit tongue in cheek.  I honestly find it all rather humorous -- as long as we don't lose him to a lengthy ban. 

      And to your point -- yes, these Urugayan boys do seem a little crazy, but I quite like it 🤣

      I don't see how we can. Ultimately he didn't assault no one, he didn't punch, kick, slap, bite, throw anything at anyone. He was up there to fend off hooligans, he even had to move away from some nut job who throw a punch at him.

      The whole melee has been blown well out of proportion, worst case scenario is Fifa get involved and expel both nations from the next tournament or something for failing to control the crowd/players. I suspect it'll be nothing more than a fine for both and behind closed doors games.

      Doesn't have the same fiery voracity of the South Americans. It's just dopey Dier!!
