smilinjack 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Quite right Dave, I read an eye witness report which said there was just a scrum of around 12 people for this boot and it just so happened this kid copped a smack out of it. All right Shakey saying this or that, but if you lob stuff into a crowd it's no surprise if it ends in tears for someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smilinjack 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Quote from someone who was there....."No one hit anyone there was just a 12 person scrum for the boot and two little brothers were knocked over. The smaller one is not in shot. What annoyed me more was that the father of the two small boys left his two kids to climb over the fence into pitlane to get closer for a pic and didn't even see what had happened to his sons....p.s. I was 10 feet away" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davehutch-hutchs 0 Posted October 25, 2012 The truth behind ‘Bootgate’ following Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne BSB triumph 25 October 2012 The boy’s father has revealed the full story The father of a ten-year-old boy who became embroiled in a heated online campaign over a boot thrown into the crowd at the finale of the British Superbikes championship at Brands Hatch has looked to ease tensions by revealing just what happened. Two weeks ago, Sheppey race ace Shane ‘Shakey’ Byrne topped a triumphant season by sensationally securing his third British Superbike crown at the West Kingsdown track. As he stood on the podium and soaked up the adoration of the crowd, he hurled a pair of his boot to his fans. TV footage appeared to show a scuffle which ended up with a man walking away with the boot, while a small boy was left apparently in tears. Dubbed ‘Bootgate’ by fans, a campaign emerged on the internet via the likes of Facebook and Twitter. It claimed the man had barged the boy and snatched the boot off him, and sought to name and shame him, However, it has subsequently transpired the truth of the story is very different. And after revealing the story last week, both the boy’s father and the man with the boot have got in touch with us to explain just what happened. The man who got the boot, who wants to remain anonymous, said he had even received death threats. The boy was in fact Taylor Rose, a 10-year-old British Superbike fan who lives in Surrey. His father Jason, told us how Taylor did end up with a bruised face from the scuffle but that he doesn’t believe anyone set out to harm his son. Mr Rose, 41, explained how he got tickets to the event as a birthday treat for Taylor who brought along one of his friends. Mr Rose said: “I do not blame the guy because I do not think he hit my son intentionally. Taylor did have a bruise to the right side of his face, how that came about I do not know. “The man did what everyone else was trying to do, but my son ended up getting hurt by someone or something. The video footage is not clear. “I think it was all a big adrenaline rush – everybody went for the boot and the small guy got injured. “There’s been comments saying the man did strike Taylor but I do not think so. I do feel sorry for the guy getting a lot of grief.” When the story first broke race legend Shane Byrne told this paper he wanted to offer Taylor a day out at Brands Hatch. Now, Mr Rose has been in contact with British Superbikes and said Taylor and the family plan to head to the racetrack and are set to meet ‘Shakey’ himself next Wednesday. Shakey will take Taylor for a lap of the circuit in one of the official championship Nissan GT-R safety cars. Mr Rose said: “Taylor is just over the moon that he’s going to go there and see Shane.” Last week a man, who claimed to be the one who ended up with the boot, contacted Kent on Sunday defending his name and saying how his world had been turned upside down by the issue. He anonymously told us: “I’ve received death threats, and I can tell you that’s not nice. If I had something to hide, I would. “I did not run off with the boot, I walked slowly and only left when everyone else around me had walked off. The boy hasn’t told anyone he was punched. “I am 99 per sent sure I didn’t touch the boy, and if I did it was totally accidental. “My picture is going all around the internet, and I’m scared to go out of my house.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
