I get it, mate, I really do.

I just see where things can lead (and where things are already going), and we could easily get back to the dark days of football in the next decade or so with many different factors moving us in that direction (social media, cultural angst, economic degradation, young male anger, etc.) and enforcing punishments for this behaviour is an important mitigation measure.

Did u see that fucking running track mate I’d have passed out if I tried running over that in that heat with no water to get on the pitch haha

Yet Gundo ran across the running track and dived into the City fans. And every City fan f*cking loved it and never complained about it.

I can only speak for myself but my heart goes out to him for missing 3 years of football, if that is what the punishment is but the bottom line is that fans can't be allowed to run onto the field of play.
It's sad that he is going to suffer but the rules are in place for a very good reason that had it not been a City fan we were discussing here I am sure you would agree with.

That’s a very different situation—I know you are a very intelligent person and know that, so I am not sure why you are trying to use that as justification for fan pitch invasions.

If it was a rag or dipper most would say justice has been done and he was an idiot for doing it.

He may not have known in the moment but he would have know beforehand.

Are you arguing that people that kill someone in a crime of passion should not face any punishment?

Or someone that beats someone else to the edge of their life during a pub brawl should face no consequences because they didn’t think about what they did in the moment?

It was spontaneous response and action. It wasn't premeditated, orchestrated, etc. He got caught up in the moment, the emotion and the goal celebration. I doubt he was even thinking about the repercussions of his actions beforehand. But you'll have to ask him yourself if he did.

As for your killing and crime argument, I really don't know where you are going with that, and what that has got to do with a goal celebration? You're looking too deep into it Sebastian. it's a goal celebration, not a murder.

It's 2:07am. Good night,

Let me tell you, if the configuration of the Ataturk Stadium meant that fans were as close to the pitch as at Bramall Lane there would have been dozens and dozens of people jumping on Rodri

He was on Haalands back before he could raise his arm, it was magic to see someone taken by the moment.

I’m not sure why you are casting aspersions on my manhood, or my uncle (of which I have none!), but am I to assume you approve of fans leaving the stands to jump on players? Or just certain fans? Certain players? What of opposing fans?

Imagine, indeed.

Seems BM is split between those that think the barrier between fans and players is sacrosanct and those that think it’s OK for fans to enter the safe space and celebrate in any fashion they choose, including jumping all over players, because, well, it’s all just spontaneous good fun, innit!

SMH.

Some belting comments… covid one being the funniest but im sure it was a wind up (got to be)

Based on some people’s logic players shouldn’t jump on eachothers back while celebrating in case of injury and those sad enough to call for him to be banned will probably want the thousands who have been on the pitch at the etihad last few seasons banned aswell. It was harmless and obviously took light heartedly by Haaland aswell as the other players.

Our fan base is getting taken over by the prawn sandwich brigade ffs.

Good point. Almost every meaningful dramatic goal ever scored is followed by a player jumping from behind onto the back of another

And didn't jump over the barriers.

At the end of the day, I don't really care if a fan goes on the pitch. I get the arguments about risk, of course, but living is a risk. Everyone is exposed to risks every day. But I also get the arguments about emotion.

However, everyone who is a follower of football should know the FA/ PL/ police and clubs are cracking down on this stuff and if you do it now you are either someone who doesn't mind missing at least three years of football, or someone who is so stupid to realise that this will be the inevitable outcome.

Doesn't matter if he is famous, a great lad, has enormous biceps or Haaland didn't mind. He is getting a lengthy ban.
