Awful, condolences to those close to him and loved ones, and yet there are still some who say such behaviour is 'part and parcel 'of the game! no it isn't !!

Hearing there’s suspicion of a knife being used & the victim died of a head injury? It beggars belief. People like this are actually allowed to live amongst the rest of us, insane.

All over 90 minutes of Football. What an awful thing to happen, hope those involved go away for a very, very long time.

It maybe a day of shame for Burnley -- But a chap on FB who has seen the video ( as well as others ) have claimed it was the Blackpool fans that were the aggressors. I know it does'nt make it right but it is not all down to Burnley either.

Who in their right mind takes a knife to a football match?
RIP to the chap involved. Another casualty of the mind numbingly retarded fuckwits who want to fight about football.

Given there's a suggestions of a brawl involving up to 15 fans it sounds how have you come to the conclusion the deceased was totally innocent?

I'm not getting involved in your cyclical debates, Topper. Someone was murdered because of football.

Notice they haven’t released their own statement yet. Do we know it was definitely a Burnley fan? Could have been self defence? Wouldn't like to comment without the full details. Sad regardless though.

Didn’t take long for a touch of the old victim blaming to kick in.
Shame.

Didn’t take long for a touch of the old victim blaming to kick in. Shame. It's not victim blaming. It's holding back from commenting without knowing the full details. Was it definitely a Burnley fan then as I've not seen that commented anywhere yet you're quick to say they should release a statement?

You’re right, it was probably 15 Blackpool lads fighting over next weeks starting XI predictions.

Notice they haven’t released their own statement yet. Burnley, meanwhile, tweeted: "Burnley Football Club are shocked and saddened to hear of the passing away of Blackpool fan, Tony Johnson, in the early hours of this morning. We share our thoughts and condolences with his family, friends and everyone at Blackpool Football Club."

A loss of any life is sad but there is more to come out about this incident judging by what is already in the public domain including a video which appears to show the Burnley fans being attacked by a mob of Blackpool fans.
I had never heard of the Blackpool Muckers before but perhaps they should have an age limit on their membership.
A friend of mine was waiting on the bus stop back in the 80's with his girlfriend when a visitor to the area decided to attack him. My friend punched him once resulting in death for his attacker as his head hit the pavement. No charges were ever brought once all the evidence was gathered. It ruined my friends life though through no fault of his own.
RIP Tony Johnson.

As Holmes says none of us no the exact circumstances which led to this tragic event. Most of us our prepared to engage in banter with other fans a lot of it good natured , some fans are prepared to take it to another level and engage in punch ups and the like ,i am sure it never crosses their mind that someone could get very seriously hurt or worse still end up in life threatening situations BUT it only takes one outright thug and you end up with this. Every club has an element of followers who they could do without, i hope those who think it acceptable to behave in this manner will stop and think of the possible consequence's and refrain from such activity, if these events help get the message home then MR Johnson's passing need not be in vain.

I feel like people are missing the point, whether or not he was there looking for trouble, it’s completely barbaric to kill another man over football.
RIP.

Names, addresses of those responsible should be put out into the public domain.

The Blackpool forum is quite a read. Very sad that SOME Burnley fans & even those who support PNE have decided to mud sling and turn this into a he said she said circus.
As mentioned above, this has been widely publicised with more surely yet to come. Hopefully it reaches at least one person young or older & helps them decide to turn their back on this kinda crap, if it’s something they currently engage in.
