No he did not, it was his mom Cynthia that stopped the IRA bombing.. His father was just a carpenter by trade.
Eric Dier runs into stand angrily confronting fan, has to be restrained
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
It's already started, with the usual bizarre, context-free proviso that you can't call someone a cnut in the street but you can at a football ground.
I don’t know anything other than dier went into the stands and started climbing over seats and then ended up being restrained.
And for that I think he deserves a healthy ban.
it’s the others justifying it assome sort of hero rescue of his brother I find funny
Because the reaction is so over the top that a fan having said something "mildly annoying" is simply not the most sensible logical conclusion.
The fan being an assh*le is simply exponentially more likely.
I don't think anyone thinks he was a hero. It's just understandable that he ran over, given his brother was involved in an altercation.
He should still get a ban anyway.
It's obscene. I see more decorum in clubs full of drunk guys. The amount of abuse there guys get is unacceptable.
Not many of us can work under those conditions.
It's a joke. The gag being that it's so bad playing under him that Dier decided getting a ban until the end of the season was a better option.
Or Dier is an asshole? Unless its really over the top then blaming abuse from fans is pathetic to be honest. Especially when we havent got a clue what was going on.
If the fan was being an asshole we would have heard it by now instead posters are making up super brother scenarios to justify it.
The silence is defeaning. Why cant his brother be the asshole?
No it was the baby moisse Keane who started it when he was substituted despite been a substitute.
V for victory. Maybe he in fact attacked his brother for supporting Norwich? Or something.Why is he showing the peace sign?
If the iconic Fast and Furious franchise has taught us anything, it's that family comes first. It's been a long day without you, my friend and I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again. Salute, Eric Dier.

Nope because Cantona actually assaulted his victim who was merely an embryo
Because people were holding him back and the fan in question ran off.
Hopefully Dier gets a 1 game ban and the fan gets booted for a year.
Ah ok gotcha. That now makes sense.
We just needed a flying headbutt.
There's only way to sort this out. Dier and the other guy, locked in the Cheese Room.
There's a chance that one of them is a relatively innocent victim, but the most likely scenario is that both were being assholes.
As for Dier himself, it kind of depends on what he saw. If his brother was actually being smacked around I wouldn't blame Dier at all, and I would expect most people to react the same way. As somebody else said he didn't seem to be in 'that' much of a hurry though, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was just handbags and he over-reacted. Hopefully security has footage of the entire incident.
This could become a thing like: "90K season ticket and you can pick a player to battle in the octagon after the match"
I'd fancy my chances against Billy Gilmour or CHO. No central defenders though.
Tottenham are in dier straits.
Better avoid strikers too. You never know when you can get a new version of Akinfenwa or Jan Koller
siege mentality, worlds against us etc
Money for nothing?
Lingard for me, hands down. In terms of dislike-ability and slight potential to actually win the fight.
Quickest Dier has run all year.
attention seeking of the highest order IMHO

I'm a little late to the party on this, so why was everyone saying it was racism, is Diers brother black?
You've clearly never worn football boots on concrete. It can be akin to ice skating, depending on the studs.

Honestly, this is really inappropriate and the mods won't allow it, but I'd love a thread about which players (United or all?) you'd like to have a scrap with. Ha ha.
Lingard must be up there for me too!
Pogba too, although he would probably kick the shit out of me. Ha
A Spurs fan twitter account spread nonsense about the fan being racist towards Gedson, and Dier storming up saying "he's my brother" was in solidarity with Gedson.
Then be out for half the season.
There is precedent for a Manchester United player. No chance he gets the same treatment, Spurs dont generate the same headlines.
I'm sure some of you matchgoers on here have at one point or another shouted something you wouldn't have if not for context of being at a match. The guy Cantona kung-fued, anyone know how he's doing today? I'm not saying he's not doing fantastic, and being kicked by Cantona even contributed positively to the rest of his life. But celebrities going after random people can have negative consequences for the random person. Of course, for all I know, the random person should be in a mental hospital, or prison. Who knows
I couldn’t watch, I just Camembert it.
They wanted 80 million for him 2 yrs ago
Because only black people get racially abused?
