TBW Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 Something I've noticed on social media over the last year or so is people celebrating pitch invaders more and more so you can expect to see them more too. It's usually people at the end of games running on the pitch to try get a players shirt but the amount of people condoning it as them being "real fans" is unreal.

They were even called back to A8 by their superior. Unbelievable. The stewards never caught him, he gave up , surrendered himself, but how did he get through a line of stewards in the away end, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for him evading the stewards I was told previously that they aren’t allowed to chase pitch invaders like they did. For one it encourages the idiots and more importantly if the steward did pull the person to the ground and cause injury they are open to be sued and fired. This was confirmed to me after the game too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recently there has been a lot of young children being encouraged to run on during the game to either ask a player for a shirt or grab the ball and try to run away with it. Various examples are all over social media. I think the feeling is that as they are so young there won’t be any repercussions, personally I would ban the ‘responsible’ adult they are with. And yes, I like just about everyone else, including the stewards didn’t see the Derby one enter the pitch. But he must have got past stewards and at least Bentley to get to the centre circle before he began doing kicking gestures for no apparent reason.

shahanshahan Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 For those that may not have seen, there was a pitch invader at last night's Chelsea Women game. Sam Kerr shoulder tackled the person, to cheers in the ground. And got a yellow card for it. I haven't seen or heard about pitch invaders in ages and then two incidents happen a few days apart! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Batman Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 It's started to get a bit more common now for some reason. Some knobhead started dressing up in rugby kits and ran on the pitch during national anthems in the recent internationals. Plus it's gathering momentum in football too. Don't get it.

Exactly and makes you wonder how long it will be before someone gets injured. I was amazed by some comments about our pitch invader egainst Derby that apparently the stewards have little power to physically bring someone down on the pitch for fear of being sued if they injure them in the process. Looks like the nutters have the upper hand now and it only takes one psycho and a player or official could be seriously injured, or worse.

Only at that point will anyone bother to do anything about it. This is football we are talking about. Pitch invasions when teams get promoted etc. are more of a grey area but a simple rule that ANYONE who comes onto the pitch whilst the game is in play (which includes players walking off at half time or coming back onto the pitch for the second half) receives a LIFETIME BAN with no right of appeal for 99 years and 11 months might at least make one or two have second thoughts about doing it.

pongo88 Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 Brian Clough had his own method of dealing with pitch invaders. He went onto the pitch and punched them. I’m not, of course, suggesting that this was the correct thing to do, but it was different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I think those extra 11 months might just convince people not to take a chance. Seriously, though, there does seem to be something wrong when a 'Head Steward' can threaten somebody with a twelve month ban for swearing but choose not to intervene when somebody invades the pitch. I am, of course, aware that stewards on minimum wage are understandably loath to intervene when there is a risk of physical injury or even legal action, but something does need to be done before a serious incident occurs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. By booking the player it seems harsh, but it also discourages them from getting involved. If a pitch invader thinks he can approach a player who gets wound up and retaliates it will be all over social media and the player would most likely come off worse.

Steve Watts Posted December 9, 2021 Report Share Posted December 9, 2021 I wholeheartedly disagree with people saying he should be banned from the stadium for life. That doesn't go far enough as a punishment. He should slapped with a season ticket and be forced to watch City like the rest of us! That'll learn him, innit?!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
