Akira Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Can't help but think they're cutting their nose off to spite their face with this. I get trying to stamp out people going on the pitch, however, it happens at the end of the season, rightly or wrongly. There's not usually any malice and it's usually been a tradition to do at your last home game of the season. Getting your child involved, we've seen this creep in this season, with kids trying to run on the pitch, encouraged by their parent to get a players shirt, which I find really cringe, along with holding up signs etc, but it's still harmless. Doesn't deserve a lifetime ban IMO. Far worse offences go on at games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spudski Posted May 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 Probably not helped by the abusive and threatening behaviour to staff. Encouraging child to run onto pitch during game whilst filming it...then threatening staff. Glad a club has made a precident. Giving a slap on the wrist won't discourage others. This epidemic of people filming themselves and posting all over social media...mindless crap. Needs to be stamped out as it's just self indulgent 'look at me syndrome'. Sad. 36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, stupid thing to do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 More likely the abusive and threatening behaviour got him his ban, but that wouldn't be as controversial a story. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted May 3, 2022 Report Share Posted May 3, 2022 He encouraged his son to go on while the game was still being played, may have been a stoppage I don't know, but even so. He filmed it , so was planned. He verbally abused staff and stewards and threatened them. Now begging banners for shirts is bad enough, running on the Pitch, which is a ban anywhere, is worse. They could have banned his son , but his Dad is obviously at fault. The bloke doubled down with threats and abuse, ban seems fair. No doubt after a while he will appeal, apologise and be let back in. But TBF, anything that stops this shirt begging seems a good idea 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstart Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 So a fan thrown OUT of ever going to watch Boro again - sounds like a blessing to me, didn't they used to throw fans IN to watch Boro 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted May 4, 2022 Report Share Posted May 4, 2022 Whenever I read something like this I assume that they then start following another club instead; local non-league probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
