Shamelesly Stolen From Ab Mad

[Guest SS RED]

No doubt the most recent poor sod to get 'banned for life' will be the guy who got carried away and ran on the pitch to celebrate with the Spurs players after the 4th goal last night.

 

It has to be the most knee jerk, over reaction policy of all time. He hasn't done anyone any harm has he? He just let go of himself. There's been so many over the past few years, but 'banned for life' is such a draconian punishment it's not real.

 

Remember the Hearts guy who shouted 'viva le Republic!' during a minutes silence for Princess Margaret? Banned for life. For expressing himself, during a minutes silence that should never have been taking place. Some wifey that spent her whole life quaffing G&Ts and shagging as much as she could on her own private holiday island, at our expense, and when she finally crokes it, we're supposed to honour her memory at the fitba with a minutes silence? Bollocks to that.

 

There's been so many examples over the years and it's the type of stuff the EE reviles in. I hope nothing happens to that Spurs fan from last night, but you can just see it. 'On account of over reacting when your beloved Spurs equalised in the last seconds against their arch rivals, you are never allowed to watch the team you clearly love again - for the rest of your time on this planet'.

 

 

 

 

Thought it was a great post. Football fans are treated like pieces of sh*t far too often, I think some forget that without the fans football is nothing.

So what happens when the Arsenal fans run on the pitch, more Spurs fans pile on and theres a full scale riot?

[fatshaft]

Totally disagree SS, same as when there was a pitch invasion when we scored against Rangers to qualify for Europe. It's not spur of the moment, we all jump about like idiots. The time it takes to clamber over people and over the wall at the front of the stands, is more than enough time for any sane person to realise that they shouldn't be doing that.

 

Lifetime ban is draconian, but to say the guys actions are fine is bollocks.

 

What if he'd injured one of the players when he piled into the scrum? Would you still be defending him?

 

What about the mackems who invaded the pitch out of 'exuberance' at their first win in over 25 years against the barcodes? Were they allowed to do that too?

 

Where do you draw the line between acceptable 'caught in the moment' excitement and over the top?

[Dandyjam]

With FS here.

 

Whilst a life ban would be well OTT, he obviously took time to leap over the hoardings across the track on the pitch - he deserves some sort of punishment as he was on the field of play and could of started a riot.

Are you lot honestly for real?

 

A riot in the emirates, which is a football stadium full of japanese people taking pictures and fannys waving scarves with there arsenal mega store bag by there side.

So it should be made stadium specific? You can't have one rule for one place and one for another.

 

I recall at the time of that Huns game, many tried to justify the pitch invasion as heat of the moment and acceptable. No it wasn't, we were able to stand that whole game in the South Stand which was fantastic, but of course you still had frigging idiots who couldn

Have you ever been to the Emirates?

 

Or is that view just from a slightly jealous Spurs fan?

TBH I loved that, we obviously just have different views on football.

 

The boy that ran on the pitch was brilliant, the players enjoyed it aswell.

I suppose it must be good for a Spurs fan to go to the Emirates occasionally to watch some quality football for a change.

So the fighting on the pitch was acceptable?

Spurs get heads kicked in?

It has nothing to do with football, and I can only assume you're too young to remember why policing and stewarding of football grounds is the way it is today.

[Guest SS RED]

There was no fighting on the pitch, and yes I liked it.

Must have missed that!

 

 

 

He won't forget that, that's for sure!

[Guest SS RED]

Yes there was.

 

 

Nah it was in the stand where the fighting was, and it was just a good bit of rivalry, nobody that didn't want to be down the front kicking off didn;t have to be there.

There were Newcastle fans on the pitch fighting with Sunderland fans 100%. The cameras panned away so as not to show it fully.

[Dynamo]

I blame the police for allowing it to happen

Good for them, Both sets obviously wanted to fight with each other so crack on. The coppers obviously weren;t doing there job properly.

So whats wrong with outside the ground? Is it perfectly acceptable with more and more women and children going to football to condone violence that they cannot get away from?
