I mean, yes, he absolutely needs to be banned.

People really don’t understand that at no time, at any match, are there a sufficient number of police, staff, and stewards to keep people from running on the pitch.

And pitch invasions and disruptive behaviour at matches in general is on the rise again. Each time a pitch invasion is not punished or is shown substantial leniency—especially just because the person is relatively famous—it emboldens more people to do it.

Social media (especially the likes of Instagram and TikTok) have entire subcultures centred on this type of wildly irresponsible and disruptive behaviour, for the sole purpose of gaining views, followers, and online clout.

If you don’t punish it harshly, every time, you eventually have several pitch invasions every match, and things begin to spiral from there.

It’s already becoming a problem, with more and more money being spent to staff up major events to prevent these disruptions. Literal riots have been started off the back of this sort of behaviour. There’s a new trend of throwing things at music performers at concerts. You have TikTok challenges where the goal is to got to a shop and cause so much disruption that you get the employees to start a fight with you.

So, yes, he should be banned. It’s the rules, anyway, which he will have known when he jumped on to the pitch.

Or are many now arguing people should be allowed to do whatever they want without (clearly stated beforehand) consequence?

Of course he should be banned if those are the rules.

If that’s the case the ground would be half empty this season,because all the City fans who ran on the pitch at the end of the season should be banned is that what your saying.

There is an argument for it.

But, really, we are talking about this incident, and it should be punished.

You really don’t understand how quickly this sort of thing can get out of hand. Or seemingly want people that knew the consequences of their actions before they decided to undertake them to face no consequences.
 
I've done loads of pitch invasions over 45 years supporting City. Lifting players up, celebrating with players, etc. I've loved every second of those pitch invasions. I will never regret doing those pitch invasions. Moments I still look back on fondly. They are part of my support for City that I will take to the grave with me.

It wouldn’t. It’d be half full of new fans, as the boycott of the Community Shield showed.

I wonder what the price increase will be for season tickets next season now that there’s huge demand.

The players safety and security is put in jeopardy every time someone runs onto the pitch.
I don't understand what people don't get about this simple fact.
There are dick heads out there that hold a real hatred for and would do real harm to opposition players. You only have to remember the coin, lighter and assorted missile throwing at players to know what some knobs consider acceptable behaviour towards opposition players.

Do you want it to be? Just keep letting it happen and it will be.

Besides, you seem to be arguing against people facing consequences they knew about before they decided to do something.

Which is a weird take.

That’s fine, but you do understand that they need to be regularly punished otherwise things can get out of hand, a la the twat that punched Jack when he was still at Villa?

Or what we regularly see in Brazil and Argentina?

What I find most strange, is the same people that remonstrate about things being thrown at our players or racist abuse of players at various clubs, immediately defend one of ours literally leaping on to the back of unaware City player as nothing to worry about. As if it is an isolated event that will have no influence on the future.

Yeah, and not 1 City fan was banned as far as we know. Yet the usual BM lynch mob on the thread wanted as many City fans who went on to the pitch banned because they thought they were out of order and the PL was going to punish and fine City, even though the PL brought their 115 charges against City. I'm glad all those City fans went on to the pitch and put 2 fingers up to the PL and to those BM forum members who wanted the City fans banned.

The frightening thing is that he might not have been one of ours and his reason for jumping on Haaland's back might not have been to celebrate.

It’s not got fuck all to do with me. I still have mates that go and this has knock on effects that can impact them.

The myopic view on here whenever it involves a fellow blue is truly depressing at times.

People can only see a few inches past their nose some times.

This thread needs to be bookmarked so it can be bumped when someone runs onto the pitch and injures a player.

Those that seemingly want to be able to do whatever they want without consequence will just say it’s an isolated incident that has nothing to do with what came before.
