Eight people done for trouble at Manchester City and Manchester United matches - as cops take on fences, flares and pitch invasions
The beautiful game. The nation’s favourite sport. Bringing people together as they share in the hopes and dreams of their clubs, along with the disappointment of watching them crash out.
According to the most recent figures collected by the UK Football Policing Unit , there has been a 36% increase in reported incidents of disorder, namely 759 this season, which is up from 560 in the 2019/2020 season. Callum Wright and Cameron Bradley Hooligans Callum Wright and Cameron Bradley, were banned from watching Manchester City play for FOUR years after they were both involved in violent disorder at TWO games. Wright, 25, and Bradley, 21, were both identified on CCTV footage getting violent by throwing items or punching opposing fans.
Months later, on August 4 2019, further violent disorder was caught on CCTV in London, when the men had travelled down to watch City face Liverpool in the Community Shield. In April, Wright, of Broadfield Road, Fallowfield, and Bradley, of Anfield Road, Moston, were both sentenced to three months imprisonment which was suspended for 12 months and 30 days of rehabilitation activity requirements after pleading guilty to violent disorder, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm of a police officer in respect of Bradley.
Prosecutor Shahid Khan told Manchester Magistrates' Court in June that Maxwell threw the flare after the 'local team' scored an equaliser during an 'important championship deciding match'. The pyrotechnic, which was emitting blue smoke, 'crossed over the heads of supporters and stewards', he said, adding that hurling the missile 'risked injury to the supporters and staff'.
Jalil Palani and Hamed Hamidi United fans Hamed Hamidi and Jalil Palani charged onto the pitch at Old Trafford when Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal after becoming ‘overcome with emotion’. “Moments before the final whistle blew, Cristiano Ronald scored the winning goal at 95 minutes. Hamidi and Palani both ran towards him to celebrate,” Prosecutor Laura Atherton said.
Amar Raithatha Master's student Amar Raithatha threw a flare during a Manchester United match , leaving a disabled woman in the crowd needing urgent first aid. He was banned from all football grounds for three years. Raithatha, of Whetstone, Leicester, pleaded guilty to offences of common assault, possessing a flare at a sporting event and throwing a missile. At Tameside magistrates court in June, he was sentenced to a 12 month community order consisting of 80 hours of unpaid work.
Manchester Magistrates' Court heard mobile phone footage taken by a police officer showed Colbridge turn to face Villa supporters before goading them. He then ran towards one of the penalty boxes, slipped and fell. Shahin Ahmed Shahin Ahmed had travelled up from London to watch United take on Villarreal in September last year. When Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a late winner his emotions got the better of him.
“There is a big problem” Speaking to the Manchester Evening News , Chief Constable Mark Roberts, head of the National Police Chief's Council for football policing, spoke about the ‘big increases’ In incidents at Premier League and Championship games and at a non-league level. “We have football intelligence officers who try and target those who go to cause trouble, and target police activity towards them. The others we can try and disengage them from getting involved.”
