@YorkCityFC Your player should be arrested, imprisoned, and banned for life from football.
His violent thuggery disgraced himself, your club, the National League, and the English game.
York City Football Club would like to make the following comment regarding one of our players in the aftermath of our last-minute goal at Rochdale.
The ending to Saturday’s game at Rochdale has, understandably, been seen around the world and held up as an example of what is so special about our game. The fans played a huge part in that, and for all those in the stadium, it was a unique emotional rollercoaster that will never be forgotten.
Given that emotion and the stakes involved, we appreciate the enormous challenges that came with policing and securing a game of such obvious importance. In front of a passionate, sell-out crowd, those challenges became even more significant when the game concluded in the way that it did.
The safety of players, staff, officials, and fans must always be the priority, and it is important to recognise all those in the stadium who worked to ensure that was the case.
It will be important in the coming days for there to be a proper reflection and assessment of the circumstances around the end of the game, what happened and what can be learned. As a club, we are committed to assisting with any review, and we will support all our players and staff in contributing to this.
YCFC will be supporting Hiram through all proceedings.

@ClaretXtra Willing to die on the hill that the players start playing for themselves. We are utterly fucking woeful every game until we go behind and suddenly the entire system changes. I refuse to believe our starting system is home we dont concede early. it's almost every single game.
What a performance second half. There is nothing but praise for Parker and the players in that regard.
I am seriously speechless for the Video Assistant Referee today. Absolutely outrageous.
