I love niche friendly matches. My two favourite ones are Rottach Egern (In Bavarian Alps) for the Munich 1860 match when Mark Hughes was manager and a fantastic trip to Innsbruck for the match with Besiktas. I didn't do the famous Isle of Man trip but I did go Brockville when we played Falkirk.Very niche, this. Does attending two friendlies in Wales beat Swindon at home and York away?
Me n’all.I was more angry with those flares after the goals that stopped us restarting quickly.
Let's see what the police say. I understand Olsen is already playing it down. Again I am not condoning such moronic behaviour just looking for some context and balance in the coverage which I accept is a big ask for our media.He slapped or punched him on the back of the head (and from behind like a coward), the 2nd one was a deliberate attempt to knock him over (from behind again), there's no defending morons like that. The 3rd one was the only one that may have some doubt over motivation as the video doesn't show his approach.
I ran on after Agüeroooooo, but didn’t after West Ham but I did like seeing all the fans on the pitch enjoying themselves. I did walk on after Huddersfield in 2019 because it gave me a quicker way out of the ground to get to the pub.Tbh it may be great fun for everyone on level 1 but it's just a nuisance for everyone else in the ground, it's like fans suddenly think everyone is there to see them dicking around on the pitch, if you're going to run on, do it and get your arses off so everyone else in the ground can actually celebrate with the players... Not a hard concept really, I know it sounds miserable but it's just another top fan thing people seem to want to do to post all over social media imo.
Was having grief off a local police officer at the end in SS2 as I was sticking up for our club against a couple of bitter Villa fans, most were great by the way.Most in tiers 2 and 3 too…

I ran on at the infamous Spurs FA cup game and got my ugly mush on the back/front page of the Daily SportI ran on after Agüeroooooo, but didn’t after West Ham but I did like seeing all the fans on the pitch enjoying themselves.

I ran on yesterday and tore my calf so wish I hadn’t now!
They were glorious - for 5 minutes. But when people are breaking the crossbar, doing knee slides, having a penalty competition with a beach ball etc 20-30 minutes later it's a bit pathetic. No problem with a spontaneous joyous exuberant celebration, but it gets boring for the rest of us very quickly.God there’s a load of mood hoovers in this thread.
We have just completed the second greatest final-day-comeback in Premier League history.
Fans are obviously going to run on the pitch and celebrate. I thought the scenes were glorious.
Agree it’s a difficult one. How can you hand out banning orders to 5000 people who want to go into the pitch.True but the clubs already know where they stand, the burning question is how do they stop it, it's not the fault of the clubs, it's down to the fucking idiots who do it regardless of the warnings, in our case "because we're City, we've always done it".
I don't see a way of the clubs stopping it, it's down to the fans to realise the damage they will be doing to their club if they insist on doing it, even then there will still be some who refuse to conform. Times are so different now and it just can't continue.
I don't think they are drama queens at all,what gets in the minds of people that decide to confront players and break a crossbar? Don't mind the pitch invasion at all, just enjoy it without the anger.Drama queens 'outraged' by fellow City fans enjoying their moment after almost snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Nobody got hurt(apart from villas keepers fractured ear lobe).
Was that after about 74 minutes?Il admit i was half tempted to jump down from CB level 3
It isn’t though is it.That’s some almighty stretch to even put those two incidents in the same sentence.
Was that after about 74 minutes?
But they get flares into the ground, quite easily.I don’t even know why that’s being brought up in relation to the pitch invasion but they wouldn’t get weapons into the ground with the checks now. Any would-be-terrorists would be best placed to do it at full time just outside the ground.
