Middlesbrough fan discovers his car window smashed after returning to vehicle from defeat to Hull

A Middlesbrough fan discovers that his car window had been smashed after returning to the vehicle from his side’s defeat to Hull City.

Graeme Bandeira, who is a cartoonist, went to the Championship fixture on Wednesday night and watched Boro bottle their lead to lost late on to the Tigers.

His night however was made worse when he walked over back to his car to see that the window had been smashed, with glass shattered all over the seat and floor.

Graeme Bandeira tweeted to his 19,000 followers: Going to be a cold drive home…

He added: “Back home. Boro forgot how to play football in one of the most inept performances I’ve ever seen. Points well and truly gift wrapped for Hull. I then get back to the car to find some scummy bastards have thrown a rock through my window. My makeshift window fared no better 😣”

In response to those who commented on his post, he said that he parked ‘500 yards before the bridge on the long road’, with the rock left on the passenger seat, and didn’t contact the police as it would be ‘a waste of time’.

He didn’t see any other cars suffer the same fate and that nothing was nicked from his vehicle with only a de icer inside.

He also called Auto Glass and in his words, ‘they quoted £650 so I told them where to go’.

As mentioned, it came after Middlesbrough fell to a defeat at home to Hull City with goals from Liam Delap and Ozan Tufan earning a big win for Liam Rosenior’s side.

Emmanuel Latte Lath had pounced on a loose ball in the sixth minute to put Boro ahead early on.

There was also the heroics of a triple save from Ryan Allsop that kept the Tigers ahead on the 96th minute. See more on that HERE.

There was plenty of reaction after the Middlesbrough fan discovers his car window smashed after returning to vehicle from the defeat to Hull…

@scottjack79: See this a lot at games. It’s a shame that none of the hordes of Police you see before and after games can do a bit of a shift going around the roads during games as a deterrent. Sadly it’s always going to happen with the amount of cars and potential it gives thieves 😫

@adamm179: Exactly the reason I park in the college now. See this far to often

@gheaton81: Experienced the same years ago, very annoying and frustrating

@LPP2014: Bastards

@AndrewBryantuk: That’s terrible. Hope they got nothing

@izzyslovenian: Shaking my head here. Not good at all 👎

@sehtaceo: Just needless vandalism, so sorry to see that Graham, a rotten end to a game.

@kieranstead95: He left 2 tickets on his dashboard for the next home match. Someone smashed his window and left 2 more

@radburn75: That is awful, mate.

@pdb1980: Aw mate that sucks

@Lee6378: Do you have a boro sticker in the back window?

@MightyLeeds64: Gut wrenching feeling for you Graeme. Hope they didn’t get away with anything valuable or personal to you

@quarantiern: It’s sad how often it seems to happen, hope you managed to get sorted and didn’t lose too many valuables

@ronaallleeds: Sorry to see this mate – what a horrible World we live in right now

@LeedsUnited_MAD: Barstewards! Happened to me at a midweek home game v Ipswich. And we lost too!

@Lanners1: Sorry to hear that. I had the same experience a few years ago at Bramall Lane. Watched us lose 1-0 to Wigan and get relegated on the last day of the season. Got back to the car which had been broken into. Not a good day. Hope you get it sorted.

@annabf123: 🤮 how can people do this

@SmoggyPower: Happened to me in the early 90s. And they robbed my stereo. I’m lucky as we have a parking space at the ground and have for a long time. Feel sorry for you mate, it’s a horrible feeling.

@Craig__Moody: Happened to me last season after the Norwich game. Camera on the street facing the correct direction was ‘offline’ according to the Police. I was also the 4th report of the night in that proximity! Phone call was even worse, asking me what the score was rather than the car 🤷🏼‍♂️

@BaldamNekder: The “sad fact” about this Graeme is your incident is not uncommon at matches. Its annoying that its become so matter of fact. Its not so matter of fact when you have to pay for the damage. There must be a Boro fan window dude that can sort it for you cheap.

@wallsendredicko: Why would someone do that 😡😡😡

@gavinjohndavies: Think I might have been parked a few cars behind you, never seen any damage, however noticed glass on the path which raised my suspicions however that would have been on the opposite side of the car. Might start parking in the college from now on!

@smoggie1976: There’s one word to describe the person responsible for this, it’s a word I don’t use to be honest. CUNT

@BoroLadRedArmy: Scumbags.

@rfdavo: Sadly reminds me of going to Ayresome Park in the early 90s. My mates Dad returned to a car like this 2 games in a row

@matty_carson: Scum mate! Hopefully nothing was stolen

@PHILIPW72471079: Awful Graeme. Just when you thought the night couldn’t get any worse.
