http://www.fansonline.net/middlesbrough/mb/view.php?id=1323358Here's what i've put on there board.About todays trouble
My two penn'orth from somebody who was there...The old bloke who was lying on the floor bleeding from his head - he stumbled and fell, yes, there was some argy-bargy at the time which may have contributed to this but at no point was he attacked and definitely not kicked as some are trying to make out. Hope he's OK.There seems to be a lot of folk on here blaming Rovers fans for all the trouble, but seems to me that Boro were the instigators after the game, together with the lack of any police presence.End of the day, it was just a bit of bouncing around and a few handbags thrown. fcuk knows what you lot would have nade of what happened in the 70's and 80's.

There are some proper soft bas**rds on here I tell thee.
The actions of the stewards yesterday are what changed the atmosphere. Up to them kicking out the guy in the suit the banter was all pretty good natured usual stuff. A lot of our fans took that quite badly and from then on there was always a real good chance of it kicking off.As for out side the ground afterwards I was in the middle of it all and I can confirm that the guy on the floor did NOT get kicked while he was down. In fact both sets of fans backed off for a while while he was tended to and a few peace makers tried to calm the situation.

Most times it's the stewards who incite crowd trouble. If they let the fans have banter, 99% of the time nothing would come of it but in this day and age we cannot fart without up setting someone. Same old same old, this country has gone too fcukin soft.
I'd guess most of them were high on something as they were all wide eyed and pumped up.
Some people on here talk absolute b*llocks. I was there today was in the thick of everything that happened after the match and can tell you what you need to know. With the greatest of respect jucy you were not there and no matter how many fans you have on here and how much sh*t i will get for saying this a boro guy who was older than most did go down but nobody laid into him after that happened so i suggest if youdid not see the incident then keep ypur opinions to yourself.Boro fans were being absolute willys, they instigated everything today Doncaster were only looking after themselves outside the ground. If you look inside the stewards were only interested in throwing Donny out. How many boro were ejected today? I will not condone what happened putside after the game but in the same breath I will not say rovers fans started it.
Doctor Browns pub before the game was where it all kicked off. Loads of rovers singing then muppets from Boro decided to come in.

Same old same old, this country has gone too fcukin soft.Your last sentence sums up for me why some people have overreacted to the incidents yesterday when they blame Rovers fans for what happened. This country is getting so caught up with the PC brigade. We won't even be able to sing in grounds in years to come!
Well, for my part, I got wrapped up in the activities outside the ground, through no fault of my own - I was simply trying to get on my bus. There were some right 'heavies' from Boro, just smacking anyone who got within arm swinging range, including a guy carrying his 8 year old son away from the danger area. Anyone got it - no prisoners. If this is what's called 'policing' at football matches, then I'm glad I don't work for the police. It was difficult to know whether you were safer on the bus, or off it - I took the 'off it' route, as did most of our bus.We're not talking about bits of kids here either - most of them ran a mile when they could see what they were up against. The Boro heavies were guys in their late 20's up to (I would have to guess) late 40's. And they were big lads/men and all spoiling for a right set-to. I'd guess most of them were high on something as they were all wide eyed and pumped up. It must have taken a good 15-20 minutes for any police to arrive and when they did (on horseback) they scattered the Boro fans all over the place. It was then all over. The stewards stood back and watched, in the main - big hard men that they were! It seemed to kick off outside because the Boro 'fans' were smacking anyone who tried to get on the first bus in the line of busses outside (ours was 2nd in line fortunately). It was utter chaos (as these things usually are) and I have to say, although the stewards tried to keep the different factions apart, they were as much use as a chocolate fireguard.Not good and there ought to be serious repurcussions on Middlesborough for this. Little or no protection for innocent fans - other then to take the option of keeping well away - is not really on. From what I saw, the Doncaster fans retaliated, rather than started anything - some lads taking to holding a metal barrier in place so that people could get on their bus without being assaulted.
