BobBobSuperBob Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 For those saying they (understandably) wanted the chance to pay their tribute to the players from the stands Any form of ' lap of honour' would have looked even more' tinpot' IMHO A short mutual clapping from both sides wouldn't have looked tinpot But who the hell would have wanted such muted celebration after such a fantastic night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I get the excitement and euphoria of winning such a game especially with a added time winner but invading the pitch like that just portrayed City a poor light on Sky TV. As others have said - embarrassing. The club will get fined as well.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wanted to celebrate with the players and show our appreciation to them and management team. I celebrated by hugging and kissing Matty Taylor. Let's be honest, Sky Sports loved it.

shelts Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Not great to watch the idiots on the pitch . To goad the United fans is pathetic. I get the emotional side of things , the majority managed to stay off the playing area. Tinpot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the match there was not the rush to get back to cars and buses, strangers stood in groups and shared their joy, pubs filled, car horns blew, people went on the pitch, I was hugged by an old girl from the Executive Box behind my seat and several other total strangers. Some looked dazed others just had dopey grins as we filed out into the red tinged mist......Bloody brilliant. It was all about us, the long suffering supporters who go week in week out with little to celebrate most years....drink it in it doesn't happen that often.

bcfctim Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 As a Preston fan said on another forum, if you can't have a pitch invasion after a 90th minute winner against Man Utd then when the **** can you?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all about standards. For example a gentleman should always turn off his phone at dinner, never wear a baseball cap back-to-front and be able to undo a bra with one hand. As with standards for gentlemen, there should be standards for fans - don’t do a pitch invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good TV any proper fan from the EFL will be dead jealous and thinking "good on you" you celebrate...not "oh dear, how disgusting running on the pitch". It's only in recent years that running on the pitch has been frowned on, It used to be the done thing, football, cricket, rugby...... maybe not rowing. I'm sick of the corporate shininess of football these days. Most of our core support love the emotion and spontaneity of the supporters lot, and for us that's mostly depression and frustration. I really could not give a two penny toss what the rest of the world outside of the Gate think, it was a positive thing, just because a few Mancs who cannot stand to lose trying to have a go, that says everything about plastic fans who cannot take it when their corporate masters millions don't give them their weekly glory fix! The goading followed a couple of assaults from the away end..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HitchinRed Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I watched it on Sky Sports, and it didn’t look tin pot to me - just people caught up in the euphoria of a last minute winner against Man U. Had we scored 10 mins + before FT, then I agree it would have look staged and sad, but we didn’t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I'm usually very much against pitch invasions other than promotions and major trophy wins, but I think given who we beat and how we beat them, it was entirely justified. If Bryan's had been the only goal and the last 30 mins had been dull and defensive, then it would have looked bad. As it was, it was fair enough I reckon. Shame the players didn't get to celebrate with each on the pitch, salute the stands, etc. I was that shell shocked watching at home that I didn't really form an opinion other than "WTF JUST HAPPENED" at the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor am I And I did consider moving my knees down the Dolman to pile in After a quick assessment I calculated that I would make the centre circle by 11.27pm ...... and abandoned the idea A very good consolation was seeing so many enjoying every moment in their way on or off the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the semi-effing-final beating a surprisingly strong utd team. That was for the fans. That was the celebration it warranted, it got what it deserved. You may have been able to celebrate with the players close up for a few minutes but the majority were unable to celebrate with them at all If we get promoted, are you going to run on the pitch every time we beat a top 6 side. And I do think you should be banned for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie BCFC Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 It would’ve made us look tinpot if it was last day of the season and we had nothing really to play for. But for moments like this I understand it. We’ve just had probably our best victory in recent years enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is an offence to enter the field of play but feel it is unlikely the club will try and find the culprits due to the massive numbers .

exAtyeoMax Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I know it's naughty and all that but in my mind, you can't beat a good pitch invasion at the end of a thrilling match or season…I really don't like the orchestrated walk round by the players at the end. So dull…and sanitised. Let's take the fun out of everything and make it all boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
