Dangers of standing behind the goal

[Yngwie]

This is an absolute belter, a Bradford player misses a penalty and takes out a fan instead.

Reminds me a bit of when a ball boy (or was it a girl?) got sent flying over the advertising hoardings at one of our Pittodrie home games. Ouch.

Lot of information with that clip.

Was it a Bradford fan? Male female? Was he/she badly hurt?

The penalty taker didn't seem unduly concerned for the fan. He must have seen that his kick was heading for a row of supporters. He could at least have gone across to them and apologised for his pathetic kick.

I saw Jackie Copland in a St Mirren v Dundee Utd match in the 80s fire a practice shot over the bar. It hit one of the steps behind th goal and smashed into a little girls face. Jackie was so apologetic...

...actually he wasn't! Poor girl was crying her eyes out and he never even said sorry.
