Just tell his son quietly to keep walking and don't say anything.

Naming his son Emerson and stopping to have 'banter' with football hooligans. Dad of the year for me.One of the group approached me and said, 'you're lucky I'm in a good mood today.' I assumed it was because my son was wearing his Arsenal shirt.At first we thought it was banter and exchanged pleasantries with him and continued walking past.
Did not stop to have banter according to himself at least.

You reckon that would've prevented what happened? Very naive if you do.
When a bloke in his 40s says that to you as you're walking with your kid you'd assume he was taking the piss. Fair enough if it was a young bloke then you'd automatically have your guard up.

Not really. You're very naive if you think someone would say 'you're lucky I'm in a good mood' you a man with a kid and not mean it.

Absolutely no chance he continued walking without saying anything. The fact he's thought it was 'banter' after that opening line, and that his kids said something back to the guy about it being a draw suggests he's stopped. If you don't say anything and carry on walking I very much doubt they would have followed him.
I'm surprised it's you two that have chirped up, it's not like you and Forever at all.....

I wouldn't be what you would call a fighter, but the same thing crossed my mind when I read the article/letter. I'm not saying it isn't true but there is a lot in it that seems strange to say the least. If it was my young lad I think I'd lose it.

And I'd also make sure my son had a jacket to hide his colors if he felt possessed to wear his top to an away match.
Just don't stand out and you'll be hard pressed to find trouble from morons like those really. and logically you know that City have had a shit season so why tempt fate and let your kid walk around in his arsenal top? Seems like an uninformed decision that a regular football match attendee wouldn't make. And that doesn't place blame on the dad or justify it either, I'm just commenting.
And YES it's horrible and sad and stupid and I hope when they find the piece of garbage that punches a kid that they lock him up and shame the fuck out of him.
Cheers

You don't know how you'd react if you were in that situation, do you lose the plot and start swinging or do you try to get away as quick as you can because you're outnumbered and your instinct is to protect your kid? Impossible to say unless in that situation yourself.

That's very true and like I say, I'm not a fighter by instinct. I would be inclined to try to avoid trouble before occurs if at all possible. But assuming the father did that and he did tell his son to run, it would seem, maybe he took the right option. You can't tell from the detail given.
Like some have said previously, i would like to think I wouldn't put my son in that situation to start. I know it can happen regardless. But like Mase said, I think most fathers, no matter how level headed They may think they are, would probably lose it, seeing a forty year old man punch their kid. It mightn't be the wisest decision in every circumstance, but it does seem natural to me.
