This all day long

Professional player or not, Dier did what any decent person would do if they saw a family member getting agro.

This is true. I’d have more respect if he and his teammates had respect for every other fan in the ground. Bunch of fucking bottle jobs. Most need selling, Dier included

I‘m coming late to this so forgive me if I’m missing something here, but I thought Dier was after a fan hurling racist abuse at Gedson for missing the pen.

That’s what the guy posting the original (?) video was saying anyway, that Eric was referring to Gedson as his “brother”.

Who knows what it was really about?

No point showing such fight after the game. Did that in my section and he’d have got switched off the fat entitled ****. Championship player
Thought he showed a lot of fight during the game. He was fired up like the Dier of old.

Maybe we need to look at the stewards? If his brother was getting abused, verbally or physically, should they not be quicker to react?

At the moment though, we still don't really know what was actually happening and although no, he shouldn't have waded in, if he thought his little brother was about to get a kicking I don't blame him at all.
It's what we all would do, sometimes you don't think, you just react to a situation.
He's a footballer but he's also human.

Just think he's an idiot. Find it amusing that people were quick to run Ghaly out of the club but Dier does this and people think it's ok. He needs to grow up
Ghaly was treated pretty badly in my opinion but he did disrespect the shirt.
Dier was just protecting his little brother.
Totally different situations.

I think that should probably be his last game for the club, to be honest.

I don’t care too much about the reasoning, it’s a completely unacceptable reaction to go charging into the crowd after the game.

Given that his performances suggest he should be on his way out anyway, tonight will probably be the final push the club needed to cut their losses.

No, he was just looking out for his brother.
Maybe the stewards need to be more pro-active in that sort of situation.
Really don't think, with the current information available, that he should be hounded out of the club for it.
I hope not, in any case.

So far there’ve been at least three different explanations as to why he leapt into the crowd, so this may well be complete bull.

If it’s true, is Dier’s brother a child?

If not, he can look out for himself, quite frankly. I don’t believe for a second that Dier, from the pitch, managed to fully assess a situation which may or may not have involved his brother to the extent that leaping into the crowd was warranted beyond any reasonable doubt.

1. That's an optimistic estimate of proportions. I'd say it's more like 1 in 100.
2. Whatever the number is they are everywhere and they are invariably the loudest person in the block.

What with being told to sit down and be quiet by our own stewards and having the only fans noise as constant foul-mouthed complaints about players, it's getting to West Ham levels of toxic atmosphere in the new stadium.
There was no moaners near me tonight nor when I've been for last few years. Maybe find a new part of the stadium to sit in.

Can’t see anything from any of the videos. Shame had I stayed for a while I would have had a grandstand view

No and that's the thing, we don't yet know what was actually happening, nor do we know if Dier went in swinging, or just to get his brother out of a sticky situation.

I said above that he shouldn't have waded into the crowd but it was a heat of the moment decision and I don't think we should all jump on him just yet.

I thought dier and the defence in general actually played quite well. We didnt really concede any decent chances. The goal came from having a clown in goals that cant catch a ball thats straight at him. Got lucky with one in the first half.

Just watched the footage, hard to tell what went on.

Heard the Norwich fans chanting and singing loud in the background though. Looking forward to the next round. Lucky them

Did he punch anyone ? did he kick anyone ? looks like he just went into the crowd to take his brother out, if the answer to the 2 questions is no then i can't see what the problem is, ok perhaps a player shouldn't go in a stand, wow hardly worthy of a death sentence !

LOL you must be Tyson Fury hard mate, Dier is a massive unit, professional footballer, does boxing train regular, and you will iron him out. OK champ.
