That's outrageous. You'd think of all people, the old guy would be immune from personal attack. Thugs.
Where were the guards ?

And as we all know that's the only thing that's important.

Well, according to most of the Hart-bashers it would seem that way.

Heaton comes for occasional crosses it’s more a case of Hart rarely coming for them . So few prem keepers actively come for the “ 8/10 yard” high ball these days . The risk/reward ratio generally sees the parry/punch or diddly squat from the keeper . Peter Czec and Pope aside I can’t think of another top keeper who actively pursues the high ball .
