You shouldn't run on the pitch unless....You read it all the time on forums 'they celebrated like they had won the cup'...its bizarre, Maybe someone should write a rule book. If you win a regular game you can jump up and down 4 times and then politely applaud. If you beat your rivals you can jump up and down 6 times and applaud loudly. etc etc... What actually IS your point? Your point is that if your definition of celebrating is running on and goading people that should be fine because "people shouldnt judge how others celebrate" The vast majority of people would judge pitch invaders as complete morons but you seem to think theres some sort of nuanced acceptability to it?

I never said that fans assaulting players was ok. My point was exactly what I wrote. That I find it odd that fans mock other fans for celebrating. I have no idea why you think that you have to be a complete moron because you celebrate peacefully on the pitch with thousands of your fellow fans after a momentous win, which happens perhaps once a generation . I remember back in 1991 when we stayed up everyone went onto the pitch. I ambled on minutes later as everyone was on the pitch anyway. Parents lifting their children onto the pitch, families walking around on the pitch. Players came out in the main stand to celebrate with those fans on the pitch. But Maybe we're all complete morons.

They aren't celebrations to me. As I said in my post, they're so regular now they're boring. People do them just because they can and half the people aren't even celebrating.

We seem to celebrate more on the concourse and after the game on the pitch than during the game in the stands. We're a weird lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FA and EPL need to make a statement - instant 6 point deduction for any pitch invasion or forfeit a trophy won. Mark my words - if it carries on, you can kiss safe standing goodbye Yep, they are going to employ the hammer approach if this continues and matchday experiences are going to suuuccckkkkkk if that happens.

Number 6 Posted 20 May 2022 Share Posted 20 May 2022 Ok I hadn't seen the Rudiger challenge people were talking about - now that I have, not even close to a red. Jump is not towards the player, though he is daft making that challenge so far away from his own goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 20 May 2022 Share Posted 20 May 2022 Just one of those things isn't it, people see these pitch invasions happen and then decide I wanna be involved in one. Sure there's a term for that sort of sheep behavior I'm not one of these people that agrees with suggestions to dish out points deductions for clubs when something out of their control happens (ie an individual being found guilty of a racist chant/confrontation etc.) but thousands of people running onto the pitch? Sure why not. I know most are usually peaceful but the sort of shit seen over the last week will just set a trend for yet more people who still believe their ticket allows them to do whatever they want, and will then excuse their shitty behavior as "passion" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinkenzo Posted 20 May 2022 Share Posted 20 May 2022 Pity the title fight on the last day will probably be over after 20mins as the Premier League don't allow the big six to play each other on the final day of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number 6 Posted 20 May 2022 Share Posted 20 May 2022 I used to really like the pitch invasions if I'm being honest and it felt like we never got a chance for that moment even with all we've achieved: Championship was on the Saturday when QPR slipped up, confirming survival was away at Sunderland, league title was Spurs slipping up at Chelsea, FA Cup was Wembley. But you look at some of the scenes this week and there really does need to be tighter controls brought in now. Yes it is the small minority ruining it for the larger group who are not there to cause any issues, but there are some people entering the pitch with intent just to goad players/managers who are probably still raw from defeat.

Super_horns Posted 20 May 2022 Share Posted 20 May 2022 They almost need to get a way to stop fans getting onto the pitch until the players have left it but not sure how that can be done. Only so many police and security some clubs in the lower leagues can afford. BTW I see there is another food poisoning scare in the Spurs camp - just as well they are playing Norwich and only need a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
