Just borrowing the title from the smoke thread to pose the question, is it time to treat beer throwers in a similar way to the flare throwers?
Lots of good things happened with the flare throwing incident.
a) fans pointed out the offenders
b) they were caught quickly by police
c) they were charged
d) they had their partial pack removed
e) they are banned from the stadium
A few years ago, the odd beer was thrown and it could be dismissed as a one off.
It now seems to be something you seen at least once a match. Still only a few individuals doing it mind you but it isn't going away.
Reading through the posts on this subject over the years it seems as thorough there is a growing majority that are tired of this. Fans are confronting other fans if they receive a beer shower or get hit with a full cup and lid.
The players, ie Brennan, seemingly have no interest in seeing it continue by their actions.
One can't help wonder if the perceived ability to "get away with it" and desire to be "rowdy" contributed to that moronic decision to bring flares to a game.
Does Toronto FC's security team plan to take a similar stance against those they can identify as beer throwers (ie. removing ticket privileges, assault charges if action results in injury, etc)?
Should they?
