CURIOSITIES
It doesn’t only happen in Colombia, but also in international soccer, just that the fines are different.
The embarrassing event presented last weekend at the Manuel Murillo Toro stadium went around the world. After the attack by Alejandro Montenegro, a Deportes Tolima fan who decided to enter the field of play to hit Daniel Cataño, a Millonarios player, the DImayor and the Ibagué authorities imposed sanctions on both sides.
The nonconformity by the sanctions to the aggressor of the ’10’ are a constant, because he barely received an economic fine of %23 million pesos and three years without entering a stadium. A very light decision for the act committed.
A similar situation happened in Europe during a Premier League match on January 15. during the match between Arsenal and Tottenham. A ‘Spurs’ fan kicked Gunners goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale in the back who had approached the stands. The attacker was immediately identified and until a few hours ago he received the sanction.
Joseph Wattsas the Tottenham fan attacker is known, admitted to being drunk and unlike the Colombian fan, the English he will have to pay 12 months of community work, £100 and four years without entering any football stadium.

“I’ve never had someone come onto the field and kick me. I don’t think it’s acceptable to get hit at work.”, were the words of the Arsenal goalkeeper.
