Ballboy

ps. You wouldn't be able to name and shame him if he was a juvenile

Then you name and shame the parents.!

You wouldn't be able to do that either, because if you name the parents you name the offender as well.
And believe it or not, that would be contrary to ECHR legislation because the parents haven't done anything wrong. Well, apart from bringing a little scratter into the world.

[IDM]

Things must have changed then, I seem to remember if kids played truant the parents got into trouble..

Anyway, nane and shame or not, the scrote needs dealing with..

[idler]

If they were standing on the terrace there weren't too many at the front so should be easily picked out on the highlights or BRFC video of the game.

Let’s hope that it isn’t a twelve year old who did it then.
If they can be named and shamed at 16 or 18 I hope they fall into that category.

As we regularly win Awards for being a Family Friendly Club - this incident is both shameful and embarrassing.

I would like to see the individual "rooted" out and then "booted out" UNTIL he (I am assuming its a he) realises what he has done shames the vast majority of normal Football Fans - and realises that the Family Friendly Awards are something which the Club and the Fans are justifiable proud of and NOT to be trashed as easily as this

[phil old leake]

I hope that when they are found as well as getting prosecuted. The club name and shame.  It’s disgusting

[eastender]

They should hand himself in to the police  , before they gets a knock on the door.
If Alfie knows then it's only a matter of time .
Not making any excuses for who ever it was , but it was probably a spur of the moment thing that they thought was funny at the time, and now they'll will regret for a very long time.

Thats why I dont want to see a Life ban ... Just what I said in post 3 above. They may fall out with Rovers before ban is up ... But people dont get life bans from driving even when they kill other people

No,They become Plymouth's goalkeeper! (Possibly worse than a life sentence)

A truly appalling act.

An excellent response by GM and AM

Some excellent posts re our fans. See z1zou, pirate and gashead. (Last 3 posts)

Absolutely disgusting. I cannot work out what goes through some peoples heads at times.

Don't ban them. Lock them in a room and force them to watch every game Rovers played under Paul Dickov.

Seriously, I hope they are old enough to be named and shamed and I hope Doncaster as a club do something for the young ball boy. We have a fantastic reputation as a family friendly club but like some of you have already said, every clubs got the odd d**khead who try and drag the good name through the mud.

All this after a fantastic 4-0 win. Unbelievable!

What lead to the exchange. The ball boy must have done something for the lad to want to spit at him. I’m not condoning it by the way, it’s terriblr, I’d just like to know what the full exchange was.

[foxbat]

Blaming the victim eh ? Why MUST the ballboy  have done something ?

[mushRTID]

Who’s blaming the victim?

I’m not blaming anyone. Just wondering what the story is. I guarantee you not the spitter didn’t just walk up to the ball boy and spit at him. There will have been something that sparked the act. You can’t judge any situation fully until you have all the facts. The behaviour by our fan was atrocious under any circumstances, how atrocious depends on what happened prior. 

[IDM]

So what provocation would warrant being spat on in the face??  Especially by a “fan” behind the perimeter fence and who has safety in numbers.??

Sorry, but there’s still no justification in spitting..  not that I am saying that is what you meant..

[Pancho Regan]

I find it a little odd that you can ‘guarantee’ the ball boy did something to make the ‘lad’ want to spit in his face.

Have a think about what you’re typing.

Aye, he'll have 'looked at him a bit funny', no doubt. Obvious reason for someone deciding to spit at him, I presume.

[RedJ]

If he's from Balby then that's par for the course to be fair.

As a former Balbarian I resent that RedJ.😉
I'll pass it on to Andy Butler though.

Although a bar of soap and a bath, possibly.

[roversdude]

RedJ really !!!!!! I’m with idler a former resident
Spitting is a disgusting habit and to spit on a young ball boy is despicable, hope the offender is outed and treated with the same respect.
Great that Alfie and GM dealt with the initial aftermath.
I hope that the ballboy is not too affected by the incident

Why waste good water on a wesh when there's plenty of the stuff falls from the sky?

My dad's from Edlo so it doesn't get any better the further up the tree you look.

Christ, some of the women I've come across in Moorends you wouldn't look at the wrong way...
