Leeds' Keeper (Please refer to him as Mr X for legal reasons) appearing to throw a small object at the Swindon fans aggressively. This sort of behaviour should never be allowed, especially when there is already lots of heat between the fans. If you saw anything, post your comment her and I'll forward them on to the FA, Leeds and the player involved for comment. This sort of behaviour ruins the game. Lets help to route it out!

The throw definately appeared as if it was agressive, however it didn't look like it was thrown at any idividual fan, but instead towards a group of young fans. In my view this is totally disgusting and the FA, with enough evidence should step in! If someone threw this at the keeper then they should also get into trouble if the County Ground have footage of the incident.

My understanding is that a member of the crowd threw the object at the Leeds 'keeper. This fan, I was told (and this could be misinfomation that I was told), was then arrested by the police. If this is true, why was the Leeds 'keeper not also detained for his indiscriminant retaliation? After all there's no telling who he coluld have hit. Is there anyone who could confirm that the fan was arrested or not?

They have slapped Casper Ankergren with a ban for improper conduct. The Dane, 28, has until April Fools day to appeal against the decision. It's unclear as to how long the ban will be for if he doesn't contest it. As soon as I have this information, I'll post it here.

Players always get verbal abue from the fans. How could a club possibly stop their fans from doing this? Also, from the reports I've heard, the fan who threw the item was arrested at the match and charged by the police. Is this not action? Mr Bates, I think you've finally lost it! Surely you can see that your comments are ridiculous and biased. I'm not just getting at Kasper here, but instead at all players who act out against fans in this way or similar. I must, however, commend Casper for admitting the charges despite Mr Bates' comments. Finally this matter can be laid to rest.
