Sky Sports News reporter Gary Cotterill had an ingenious way of keeping the rowdy QPR fans in check on Transfer Deadline Day. The broadcaster made use of the latest toy in world football, vanishing spray to keep the onlookers at a relatively safe distance.
Producing the magical canister and forcing the fans to move back might have momentarily disrupted the coverage and made for some pretty cringey viewing, but considering what happened to some of his colleagues yesterday, it was definitely a step worth taking.
If only Alan Irwin had taken similar measures, he could avoided having his ear canal cherry popped by a wayward Evertonian brandishing one of Ann Summers bestsellers.
