Barry Rogerson had previously worked down a mine for 20 years before being diagnosed with his lung condition and currently receives less than £15 a day in benefits,he has no criminal record or history of football hooliganism and it looks like he just caught up in the violence and mayhem, where about 100 thugs mostly unemployed under 25's who had not even been to the match went out to cause mayhem, The truth probably lies somewhere between these 2 stories and you are wrong to label the 50,000+ who attended the match,Geordie scum, You have as many doughnuts down your neck of the woods as we have up here, so what you think about that you nil nil numpty wisher.

Did you actually watch the video? The guy was in the front line with a scarf across his face, personally don't know many innocent people that behave in this manner. The fact he was pissed makes no difference whatsoever. As for the lung condition, my father in law has pneumoconiosis but doesn't use that as an excuse. The guy was wrong no matter who he supports and should be condemned not given some lame excuse.
