As pitch invasions go, here's three that stand out. May 2012, the one at Maine Road on the Friday night after the win over Birmingham that (almost) clinched promotion, and the Everton fan who ran the length of the field at Wembley after the third goal in the Cup Final v Sheffield Wednesday. All were expressions of sheer spontaneous joy. But there's a difference between those moments and the deliberate "I'm getting on that pitch and on tv" mentality of the morons and self-absorbed attention seekers who declare their every intention of doing so. The pitch is for the players not the supporters. You don't go to the theatre and run on the stage at the end to mob the actors. Stay off the bloody pitch , let the players celebrate amongst themselves and let the rest of the crowd enjoy the presentation. Massive security and police presence, please: dogs, horses, water cannon, barbed wire, minefields. Or else a bit of self-controi.
