The fan who jumped on Haaland

[Eccles Blue]

Now this kind of grabbing a player is acceptable.........although actually it wasn't grabbing just a polite request from me for a photo with my hero. :-)

You’d never catch me running on the pitch...

I wasn’t at that game but I remember it well. Think we went down to 9 men yet still won 2-1. City fans celebrating goals on the pitch at QPR was a common occurrence back then

I think we all know what the comments would be like if it was a United fan jumping from the stands onto a United player. Just because this guy is a City fan and your bezzie mate doesn't make him less of a moron.

No, just no. Certainly not from me anyhow. Why would any City fan be arsed if a United fan did that when a United player scored?

The rational viewpoint here is, what he did was wrong because at the end of the day he broke the rules. Now the fact that it was a joyous and excited fan who was embraced by Haaland himself, does make the situation better. However, clubs dont want to set a precedent where its ok to go on the pitch and jump on players under the justification of doing it out of pure love and passion. Personally, I think Haaland himself might ask the club not to punish him.

It is clearly stated in the T&C of entry that this strictly forbidden he has now option but to apologise and hope they give him the least severe punishment
I saw a video of a father and son Newcastle fans who let off smoke flares on the grounds of the Etihad campus, the reaction of the police was well over the top, they weren’t aware that it was forbidden on the campus , who man handled them to the ground, handcuffed and arrested then charged spending a night in the cells, missed their bus back had to get some money sent to them for train fare, and will have to return to be sentenced.

Just see the pics this morning. I dunno how I missed it during the game.

I always worry in celebrations players jumping on players backs without warning that their leg will buckle or some shit, but I have never seen that. The only time I see an injury was Lua Lua doing a billion somersaults, and an Arsenal player being dropped during a final win and broke his arm I believe

I think it's stupid and risky. I know Haaland is a big strong chap but it's careless and the fan shouldn't be anywhere near the pitch

Wonder what he's thinking this morning, as he's contemplating the inevitable ban that's winging his way. Was it REALLY worth it fella? Yes, football is an emotional game; I get it, I really do. But 20 seconds of madness has cost him dearly in terms of not being able to go to games for what; a season, at least.

3 seasons minimum isn’t it?

3 seasons minimum isn’t it?

I wasn't aware of that when I made that post earlier this morning.

Can never understand why fans have to jump on the pitch to celebrate with the players when they are surrounded by everyone else.

I think we should all be made to sit down in stadiums
