Pitch invasions

[BlueMoonie]

you learnt nothing last year from when the goal posts got completely ruined?

go on the pitch fine, what's the need in dicking about climbing all over the nets

I learnt my pull up max was 4 last year managed to increase it to 6 so progress.

Agreed. I liken this thread to the worlds largest double ended dildo.

Seen a GIF with one but can't find it. Could you have a look and post please;-)

It's a reflection of society.

People told to respect the rules, others believing they don't apply to them (because others are also doin

protests by many collectives, from religion to animal cruelty, crave publicity, no such thing as bad publicity in the eyes of a zealot. An attack on a high-profile footballer would be headlines around the world. They are vulnerable on the pitch; for that reason, I think the days of pitch invasions are numbered. Has to be prevention, identifying culprits is not the answer, except for racist chanting and similar. More than likely that nothing will be done until it happens; arresting people for "walking towards the ground" might work or "congregating to disrupt an event", like the coronation fiasco, (dont laugh they already have that power) which managed to drag the met's reputation even lower, not like they give a shit. After the Arena bombing, and the after-math of cover-up and denial.....jus' sayin

You can’t stop few thousand fans running on the pitch so of course city were going to have a plan to manage it! They did warn fans not to go on the pitch! Personally don’t give a toss how many run on the pitch but eventually the club will start warning fans that they will be banning them for life!

There were notices in the toilets specifying punishments for various misdemeanours,going on to the pitch was one of them.

Fully understandable in May 2012. It was spontaneous. Fuelled by emotion. It was quite emotional watching back the invasion on TV after I got home from the game. I didn't other going on to the pitch as I was in CBL3.

Yesterday especially, it was contrived and, quite frankly, looked a bit lame. Seemingly many of them doing it for some Instagram and Snapchat likes (or whatever they are called).

Am I miserable? Yes but then I turn 50 this year.

I’ve just invaded the pitch and finished cutting the lawn in the garden.

I was hoping this thread would have got to 100 pages by now.

When have the people running football FIFA, UEFA, the FA, and the PL ever followed their own rules, respected them, and respected us the fans?

That's for sure. I dont remember pitch invasions under Stuart Pearce, but tbh I've done my best to remove that time from my memory so I could even be wrong.

If you had gone on the pitch under Pearce you'd have probably got to play

Should have just sent the police dogs on the pitch then these adults and kids doing embarrassing knee slides for social media would have soon fucked off. There were plenty of tourists on there getting group photos from different angles etc. And what is the point of the stewards if they just stand aside and let people on. What's the point of them? It wouldn't surprise me if the club banned some people just to make a point for future and to show the PL that they tried to stop it.

We gone from electrifying, shooting, fighting, and now sending police dogs on to stop 1000’s of pitch invaders. Lol!

Why wasn’t Beanie ever escorted off the pitch by the stewards?
