So what is your definition of "defending"? The attacker is drunk, misses the keeper, falls down. In Holland some say... the keeper could have walked away. The keeper has some responsibility as a role model, young kids and not-so-bright-adults may copy his behaviour. Then you might say that's ok but then you know why you have so much trouble with hooligans and rioting in the UK. I think in Holland people usually are much more tolerant towards each other than in the UK and it would be nice if it would stay like this for a long time.
The verdict today is that the referee did the right thing and at the same time the red card was cancelled, and the hooligan offered his apologies to the keeper. In the end Ajax is to blame for everything because these hooligan was already banned but somehow he still managed to get into the stadion.
