Emirates Cup 2013/Galatasary and Trouble at Overseas Games

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

There was a short video clip of a guy throwing a plastic chair
they showed it tons on TV - I saw it on the Scottish news but as a much longer clip,
Gooner bloke drinking, chatting to his mates, chair flies over and hits him in the back
when he turns round the couple of youngish Gala fans who just threw it are heading towards him
he throws it back.
Very different evidence with the context.

I believe some postmen involved, in the video, were fired
and they had that overturned eventually

Not sure about the bans

The post office guys only got their jobs back because they took Royal Mail to a tribunal and won their case......but you can imagine what it was like working for a company who 'were told' they had to employ you again. It had all been based on TV pictures and the papers.
It's the only time in my life I've seen guys walking the streets openly carrying large knives, and cars and scooters were going round (turks), 'spotting' small groups of Gooners they could attack and then using a mobile to inform a mob nearby.

There WILL be trouble if Gala come to the Emirates. Guaranteed. A lot of people still bear grudges (and many rightly so).

What a disgrace. Yet another low for a club that has swept away its history, tradition and class in favor of money.

I cannot blame the club for trying to "reach out" to Galatasary as a club, to move forward etc.
But I fear it is a case of "Nice idea, but ill thought out".
I think there will more than likely be trouble, and the game will act as a target for fans of all UK clubs who want to fight.

Welcome to OG pal.
i-phone, i-pad and Nikon cams to be left at the gate.
You get extra credit if you put tin tacks in front of Vettel's F1 tomorrow.

Thanks for the warm welcome fellas. Too bad about Vettel; utterly classless move from him on Mark.

Admittedly didn't watch it but sounds like he got told off for winning?

He should be arrested under suspicion of trying to make F1 interesting.

Northbank - yeah, he got orders to turn down the engine and look after the tires; apparently Seb didn't get the message (or so he says)

LDB - surprisingly the races have been interesting thus far this season. Something to pass the time during international week at least!
