I don't know about you, but I was right behind that goal. There is no excuse for the behaviour of our supporters, which was unacceptable (but NOT racist as was later suggested). Equally, there is no excuse for Ashmore's behaviour; I've played and watched football for over 60 years in places including 1950's Glasgow, and London in the 60's and 70's, and I've never seen a more blatant and persistent attempt by a player to deliberately antagonise opposition fans. All those involved were complete idiots, and none of them, including Ashmore, should be able to use their childhood experiences as an excuse.
You should have been in London in the nineties. I was told that a Man Utd player jumped over the fence and antagonised an opposing fan by Kung Fu kicking him in the head. Hard to believe but apparently it happened. Mind you he was French. Apparently.
