I agree silhill that it was definitely pre meditated. The idiot went straight at Jack. I think it's probable that Jack pretty much brushing it off then going on to score the winner has almost overshadowed how serious the incident is, though obviously I'm glad he did.
The fact remains that a player was attacked on the pitch and it was only down to the relative wimpiness of the attacker that Grealish wasn't seriously hurt. Imagine some proper bruiser getting in one good shot to the back of the head on him and it's a different story. I think there'll be a minimal fine and that's about it. Then the football world can feel great about itself for not punishing those "passionate" blues fans who cheered the twat off and sang songs about Jack being knocked out.
