Eric Dier Crowd Surfing

So what punishment will he get and is it justified?

Tottenham midfielder Eric Dier climbed over seats in a stand to confront a fan who "insulted" him after Spurs were knocked out of the FA Cup at home by Norwich, says manager Jose Mourinho.

Dier, whose brother was in the stand and "not happy" with the situation, was eventually held back by stewards.

Mourinho said: "I think Eric did what we professionals cannot do but probably every one of us would do."

The Football Association and Tottenham are investigating the incident.

Dier, who has 40 England caps, scored in the penalty shootout defeat by Norwich, but keeper Tim Krul saved two efforts to put the Canaries into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

Mourinho said: "I repeat we professionals cannot do it, but I repeat I am with the player and I understand the player. The fans were with the team until the last penalty kick that we missed.

"This person insulted Eric, the family was there, the younger brother was not happy with the situation."

On the prospect of the club taking action against Dier, Mourinho said: "If the club does that I will not agree, but he did wrong."

The incident happened in the area behind the dugouts, which is a corporate section, and Mourinho criticised it for not housing "real Tottenham fans".

He added: "The people that are in these privileged positions by the tunnel, of course some are Tottenham fans.

"But I think a lot of corporate, a lot of invitation, a lot of people with special status [are in there] and probably it is the place of the stadium where I sometimes have doubts over if they are the real Tottenham fans, because these [real fans] are the ones who support the boys until the last."

Well done luvgonzo.

The spuds were trying to pretend this never happened.

Imo he should be treated no different to a fan thats caught attacking other fans in stadiums. (3 year ban is it?)
Actually... considering hes supposed to be a professional the punishment should be more severe.

I reckon he'll get a 12 month ban

 

It's important to talk.

 

Does anyone else think that Jose aactually put Eric up to it to deflect from the fact that Spurs were spectacularly ****?

 

Awful quiet in here

 

No. More likely Dier just fancied a paid holiday

 

Cantona got 9 months so will Dier her the same or has it been proven that Dier didn’t actually hit anyone - as the video of him throwing punches doesn’t show he connected, he could have missed the intended target like Lamela did



oh and Gedson

and Parrot

 

6 month ban minimum I think you set of unfunny ****s

 

will he miss the Euros or was he not going as he’s been **** all season

 

been **** all season...reckon he wasn’t going anyway

 

... being reported that he gave his knee quite a bang on one of the empty seats ... ouch!

 

The rest of the spurs fans are busy down the tshirt printing shop

 

The locals are ignoring you all



shame

 

... bit harsh mate ... usually just get 24 hours and a go slow from Babs and Tobermory

 

Not all of them

 

STFU Fosse

 

Bunch of pussies

Bottling a thread ffs so #spursy

 

Dier's a lad. He knew the match was **** so gave fans their money's worth. Should be given praise, not a ban. Should name the stand after him actually.
