So, let me get this right.

A fan got hit in the face by a stray football.

Unlucky.

Now he's trying to sue?!

:picard:

Was at Upton Park in Septemberish for the West Ham v Fulham game. Right behind the goal, so made sure I never turned away and I was always looking at where the ball was.

I turned around for one second and John Paintsil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Paintsil) of Fulham smashed one from about 15 yards straight at my face while he was mucking about at half time. Hit me flush, just under my glasses. Took me a while to feel any sensations in my lips :lol:

Trying taking an ice hockey puck felt pelt into your arm.

Is it just you, what? Who hits people in the face with footballs? Clearly not.

I cant see it coming to anything in all honesty, it would make a mockery of things if the individual won. I gesture by the club, free tickets for a couple of games might of been good, but seeking monetary recompense for watching football, hell - I support Darlo, I must be owed a fortune!!

some supporter his is trying to sue his own club but then again he is a mackem!!

Suing your own club:eek: I think that ball has knocked the sense out of him...
