Typical. You wait ages for a coin-throwing story, then two* come along at once.
They showed the clip of Drogba throwing the coin back into the crowd on the telly, and I would have described it more as "lobbing" (despite what you'd guess from the photo' accompanying the Times article), plus he was a good way back from the stands. Nobody appears to have been hurt, the chap has muttered the usual stilted apology, end of, you might think.
But no, along comes The Met, always keen to investigate this sort of crap** at a safe distance long after the event, rather than getting out on the streets and preventing proper crimes.

** See also Shilpa Shetty BB race row, for an example of modern British policing at its finest.

Well, at least if you are investigating football players, you know they aren't likely to spit in your face, abuse or attack you.
Unless Joey Barton is involved....
BQ, did she specify USD, or was she fobbed off with a TWD?
