[QUOTE="Prestwick, post: 106975"] He said he punched a man who called his mother a whore. I'd do the same to be honest as would most of the people reading these forums. Thats what your judging. You cant really think he just walked up and smacked an unsuspecting 'fan' for no apparent reason at all. There had to be a fair amount of baiting coming from the Ulster fans. Sure didnt Thomas get involved with them as well over a seperate incident at the same game? [/b][/quote] [url="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_union/my_club/ulster/6286055.stm"]The BBC correspondent who was sitting in the same area of the stand reported no such chanting or insults other than "your bar is rubbish."[/url] Also, no evidence was presented at the hearing which supported Brennan's claims. Finally, the French police thought the whole thing was (and I [b]quote[/b] Tolouse Police here) "a fuss over nothing", both with the instigation which enraged Brennan and (rather controversial and disgraceful in my opinion) the assault itself. Thomas got involved with the crowd after hearing what had happened with Brennan. Regardless of what happened or who said what, you don't go and punch spectators. [u]Period[/u]. If a woman called your mother a whore, you don't go and punch her repeatedly in the face Veronica Gurin style, no matter what the excuse. Why? Because its immoral, cowardly and just plain wrong. There is no excuse for such behaviour. Causes yes, but not an excuse. [/QUOTE]
