Hi all viewing this, I am conducting a brief research study for the School of Psychology & Neuroscience examining how social-media content influences football supporters’ perceptions of rival fans. If you are aged 18 or over and strongly identify with any professional club, please consider spending 10–15 minutes viewing several mock posts and completing a short questionnaire. Your responses are anonymous, and you may withdraw at any time. Thanks a bunch.

Have you withdrawn the survey?

Yeah, had to move forward with working through the data.

Is it too late to add in perverse victim blaming in the Scottish game? For example a thug throws a ripped out seat 50 feet from an upper tier down into a crowd of fans, could have maimed a kid for life, yet many of the online  Aberdeen fans blame the United fans for being there.

Are we about done as a civilisation?

I think this incident raises several other issues which are worth studying:

1) The role of crowd psychology within a small cohort of a support.

2) The collusive behaviour amongst supporters. Is it like Trainspotting? i.e. Nobody likes the sociopath, Begbie, but he’s a mate.

3) Would a sober fan have done it?

4) The hierarchy amongst a group of supporters. Does one gain enhanced credibility by committing a more daring act?

In my opinion, most Aberdeen supporters would have identified the culprit if they could, hence my belief it was probably a small but cohesive group of supporters.

I wonder what would happen if  United supporters clubbed together and offered a financial reward for the identity of the culprit?
