Can't see a thread about this. Have seen this written by a friend of the person, I believe on COYS, who threw it on the field. I am simply copy/ pasting
EDIT: Given the addition of the poll i thought i would just embed this pretty good video of the incident!
================
a bit of insight on the smoke bomb incident yesterday from a coyser at the game.
Just spoke to my mate who got nicked for throwing it.
He said it came from the back of the lower tier (he originally thought it was from the upper as it was behind him) and landed at his feet.
He didn't know what it was at first but there was loads of smoke and he couldn't breathe so his first instinct was to get rid of it, he picked it up and threw it underarm down the gangway so it wouldn't hit anyone. Unfortunately he mis-judged it and it hit the linesman.
The old bill and stewards spoke to him at the end of the first half and accepted his explanation, we saw him at half time and they'd let him go. With hindsight he probably shouldn't have gone back to his seat for the second half but bearing in mind he thought it had all been cleared up he went back up and sat down.
Plod then came back in and asked if they could have a word with him, he went downstairs with them voluntarily where they proceeded to search him, cuff him then rough him up and throw him in a van! At all times he was trying to explain that he was co-operating but he said there was one particular copper on a power trip who was just hell bent on giving him a hard time (typical West Midlands plod)
The young lad who lit the thing was already in the van when my mate got nicked and had put his hands up to it. My mate got taken to the nick, thrown in a cell for 6 hours and then charged with throwing a missile onto the pitch. As he said he was 'trying to do a good thing' and has ended up getting charged for naff all.
He's now on bail for 6 weeks and his bail conditions prevent him from attending any games, he's booked up for Tromso in November so is now looking at losing his money on that if it's not sorted by then. He asked why the bail was so long and was told it's so plod have time to get all the footage from Sky and then the CPS will decide whether to proceed with it. He's told them he's happy for them to get the footage as it will prove he did nothing wrong.
He said the Tottenham stewards were all really good and are on side as they know he did nothing wrong, West Mids old bill are obviously just looking for an easy nick though which is typical. Hopefully the CPS will throw it out but I've seen enough draconian sentencing around non-events at football to fear the worst.
End of the day he's a 47 year old bloke who's probably the most inoffensive person you're ever likely to meet. He's done naff all wrong and is being treated like a criminal because its 'football related'.
Absolute joke.
