Fined £260,000 for Villa pitch invasion.

Ah well, so sad, never mind.

So there wasn't going to be a match that week? That day? Within a few hours? And there was absolutely no way of predicting such behavio(u)or might occur? It was a total surprise to all?

Come on mate.

Regardless, their fans committed a crime in breaking in.

Have the rags been stitched up by the FA yet for actually assaulting people after a break in at the swamp?

Their goalie could have been hurt: goal posts were vandalised. Its a big deal because it is now illegal

How exactly he was not stood under the posts

Sums up the problem really

I hope it bothers you also, you miserable twat.

We won the league in great circumstances and the kids loved it.

Bet you do everything by the book. One boring ****.

Fuck me another thread full of miserable old curmudgeons having a pop at the young and the young at heart for the crime of having fun.

Isn’t it time for your afternoon sleep ?

Fuck me that is a lot of money and what can the club do if morons run onto the pitch , on those twats this is , we are everyones cashpoint and blues should fucking know that

About a third of Erling’s weekly wage according to The Daily Fail.

Is that possible to police though? If half the lower tier run on, how do they identify who they are?

I will volunteer my services to the club for the last game, I will stop a few. Just need a couple of hundred volunteers of the right nature to self police the situation -;)

No you are right, unfortunately, hopefully enough people will listen to the players, the club, and represent themselves as the club wishes.

Indeed. But the ramifications of that and Utd's inability to control it had significant financial knock-on effects which should have been punished IMO and weren't. I said that when no fine was imposed.

Not saying what our fans did was right, and we probably should be fined, though the amount seems utterly preposterous relative to the financial impact, which was near zero.

I'm thinking about the money cost, not the "danger" or the criminality of either event. I'm in finance FFS :)

Oh dear - why are you so angry?
No - the goalie wasn't under the posts but he was roughed up by a passing 'fan'
Yes dear, we did win the league you're quite right
why do you hope it bothers me? and why does my opinion on pitch invasions mean I do everything by the book?

Is it a bad thing to do things by the book - or do you only like and look up to those that don't

either way, your the one that seems very miserable and upset because your views are questioned

- went onto the pitch a couple of times now
- did a knee slide
- touched the centre spot
- touched the cross bar
- took some grass
- did it with my father

Memories til I die. Sorry for nothing.
Cheers for picking up the bill city ;)
