We aren’t other sets of fans. We are City fans, and we’ve always invaded the pitch for promotions and title wins. It’s a City fan culture tradition.How many pitch invasions have there been after clinching the PL title, other than by City fans?
Plus how many other title wins have been as dramatic as 2012 and 2022? I could understand why we might not have done them for 2014 and 2018, but there have never been scenes like Agüeroooooo or Gudogaaaaaaaan ever before in football history.

If you look at their faces I think you get an idea! They start off with huge smiles because they’ve won, quickly turning to fear and letting the stewards grab them and hustle them off the pitch as quickly as possible.Wonder what the players think of it do they worry about their safety or do they enjoy the moment

The vandalism of the goal posts was an absolute riddyIt was obvious with whats happened in the last week that our inevitable pitch invasion would create bad press. We didn't exactly cover ourselves in glory though once we started vandalising our own fucking nets. Whoever that was snapping the bar should never step foot in the Etihad again.

I can’t recall any other than City?How many pitch invasions have there been after clinching the PL title, other than by City fans?
Vague recollections of Blackburn doing one, but then again, think that was City as well!
At 75 no problem for me but 85 bit of a struggleSet an age limit on pitch invaders. Must be over 75.
First to assault an opposition player gets a new hip.

infesting what is already a cesspit is quite difficult though !Infesting would have been a better choice of words :)
Yeah felt bad for Laporte as he looked like he was wincing. Obviously scenes like that come from a place of love but still. Tough one, as you can see how you'd be moved to hug a player if you got close enough, some will appreciate the affection and while they're in their place of work, it's very unique work and being seen as public property goes with the territory...but being pulled and pawed when you're physically drained in an environment where some will attack players, well, very understandable if it's uncomfortable for some.I'm sure they love having to be completely surrounded by security and physically bundled off a pitch while hundreds of strangers tap them on the head and claw at them. The ones that sprint off the pitch and down the tunnel show just how much they love it

We did one in 2014 (more on the pitch than in 2012), and I think we did a couple of half hearted ones in 2018 if I remember correctly.We aren’t other sets of fans. We are City fans, and we’ve always invaded the pitch for promotions and title wins. It’s a City fan culture tradition.

Might be out of order here but that was never an attack on that keeper . They fucking ran into him . As for the pitch invasion suddenly now Gary Neville says it’s out of order but last season he was instigating it .
At least our fans aren’t breaking into the ground, assaulting security staff and trashing the place in the name of “protest”.
Rat boy can wind his neck in and look closer to home.
Agreed , but those 8 need bansThat was probably a grand total of about eight people out of around 10,000 on the pitch. 9,992 people were just joyously celebrating in a fun and harmless way.

Unfortunately I was the fan that ran on when we scored the third.
I'm embarrassed for myself and the embarrassment it's caused my family. It was a spur of the moment thing and I'd change it if I could go back.
Is there anyone at the club I can get in touch with to issue an apology.
I wouldn’t be embarrassed by it mate. As you it’s what happens - spur of the moment.
I agree that "assault" is a bit harsh compared to what we've seen recently, with Billy Sharp. But it was still unacceptable and there should be no excuses for it.
Olsen was just doing his job. Nobody should have put their hands on him, or any player/staff/etc. in any circumstances. Any contact is out of line in my opinion.
It happens everywhere and it's always a few idiots that ruin it for everyone.

If it’s as cold as you suggest, they should wait 30 seconds to get the players off as, sooner or later someone (fan or player) will end up seriously hurt.We aren’t other sets of fans.

One did it during the game, so presumably it’s him.How can GMP arrest City 1 fan for running on to the pitch when there were 1000's of City fans on the pitch?
