Argo player fight Ticat fans after the game ?

Saw it - via Twitter/ via Riderfans

Hot-head Chris Edwards was involved; hope they charge the clown Ticat fans

[Stevoman]

I agree that those fans are ridiculous and give all football fans a bad name because of it but Edwards cannot do what he did. Completely unacceptable. It's like having Robert Baker back!

[Will]

I hope the team and league are going to look into this incident further. The video that was posted doesn't give much context and was presented to put Edwards in the worst possible light, but that said it isn't the first time he's been involved in extra-curriculars this year and that is a headache I may not want on my team.

Rumour has it that beer (or spit) was thrown at the players, hence the retaliation.

[cfl-cis fan]

Does anyone know what John Murphy yelling, at some Ti-cats personnell at the center of the field, was about at the end of the game?

[paulwoods13]

I didn't see it, and don't know anything about it, but what we saw from Ticats players near and at the end of the game was one of the most classless displays I can remember. Not just celebrating their win but pointing a lot of fingers in their opponents' faces. Murphy might have taken exception to some of that garbage.

Hence I hope Winnipeg kick the living piss out of them next week.

Has Josh written an article yet criticizing his own fans like he did criticizing the Raptors fiasco?

[Will]

Seems there were two separate incidents? The spitting or beer throwing wasn't filmed. The Ticat dooface came in afterwards I think.

1/2 @TorontoPolice on altercation at BMO:

“At the end of the game, two men allegedly jumped a barricade and were attempting to fight with players. Officers and security quickly intervened and both men are alleged to have been assaultive with staff and police.” @CFLonTSN

I will defend Edwards actions here. It is so easy for anyone to say he should have had more control over the situation, because those saying that have never been in that position. First of, you are pissed off over the loss. Then someone spits beer at you, yeah, I can say I would have reacted the exact same way he did.

Yes sir, a good old fashion punch in the mouth would teach imbeciles like this a lesson in how to act in public.

Agreed, to some degree; would rather it had been a couple of Argo fans punching out some clown, big-mouth Ticats fans; with the players standing around laughing and taking pictures on their phones; rather than the players made out like hot-heads or sore losers or bad guys. Again - like to see that Ticat clown/fan shown in the one video I saw, get charged with assault or something and fined - a double punch in the mouth would work even better

I didn't know about this situation until my son told me a few hours after the game. My son's friend was a direct eyewitness to the incident with an accompanying video to show the provocation from the Ticats fan. Given the outcome of the game and behaviour of some of the fans and players during and after the game, it is not surprising that something like this would have happened.

We can condemn Edwards retaliation all we want but too often in today's society, people are not taking full responsibility for their actions. Perhaps Edwards actions may make the person think twice about doing such action the next time he tries this nonsense. In this case, Edwards would be fully justified for his actions.

Bingo!👍

John Murphy might be in trouble as well.

It looks like a huge part of the problem here was fans being where they had no business being.

[AngeloV]

Look at this video and again think twice before blaming Edwards for what happened. Beer cans being thrown at Argos players leaving the field minding their own business and Ti-Cats “fans” starting fights. Utter Neanderthals.

EDIT: Sorry guys, there was another video of just under 6 minutes long which I saw on facebook group CFL chatter. It was at the link above, but appears to have been taken down. It shows a bunch of Cats fans throwing cans at Argos players as they were walking back to the tunnel, and when confronted by Martez Ivey, a Cats fan jumped the barrier and started a fight. The video continues to show fights provoked just outside the gates by other Ti-Cats fans. F them.

Yeah, that's pretty disgusting.

Oh, did my link work? I tried to get back in and couldn't.
