Billy Sharp Assaulted + Others in Fans Pitch Invasions

[Coops]

What is the sudden fashion on pitch invasions?? I know we’ve been locked in for a bit but it never used to be a common thing?

 

[CelebrityWolf]

Pitch invasions shouldn't have to be a problem. They happen in the US often at massive college am. football games with 100,000+ people in a stadium and rarely any issues. The UK seems to be having a bit of a yob problem in recent times and its a real shame.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

This day and age pitch invasions are dangerous you have fans who could be under the influence of alcohol and drugs it’s a toxic mix.

 

[Titch]

Port Vale, Forest, Everton etc should be made to play their first home game next season with no home fans, that's the only way to nip this in the bud.

They could still allow people on the pitch, but only when the players have left.

You listen to ex pros speaking and every single one of them that I've heard to now has said they hate pitch invasions, don't feel safe, just want to get off. There have always been 'happy' invasions that have gone without any incident but these recently have taken a turn for the worse and they need stopping now

Personally hate them, can't get my head around the logic of a grown man (or woman) thinking it's a good idea to run onto a pitch to be nothing more than a ****

Probably so morons can take selfies on the pitch and brag about how cool they are on social media.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Blanket rule for the start of next season. Any pitch invasion = next home match played behind closed doors, or, with just away fans.

Yes, in this instance, all fans need to be punished. Only way any of these complete morons will get the message.

Agreed. These pitch invasions are not about celebrating a win, people are running on the pitch to taunt opposing players and coaches. It is only a matter of time before a player or a match official gets seriously hurt.

I don't advocate the return of fences, but scenes at Everton and Port Vale, following on from those at Nottingham Forrst and Northampton Town show that the situation is out of control. Forcing clubs to play behind closed doors may be a solution, but that will punish those fans who stay in the stands. But what else can be done?

Its always been a common thing at the end of the season, albeit play off semi final pitch invasions are tinpot and don't get me started on the Albion's U23 rendition.

 

[clivewolves]

There seems to bit a lot more of those smoke flares being cucked onto the pitch as well. I don't understand the appeal of them, to be honest.

 

[WolfLing]

You can maybe understand Forest fans getting a bit over-excited having been stuck in the lower leagues for so long and winning dramatically on pens. Why being that happy leads to someone choosing to headbutt a player, I'll never understand.

But any pitch invasion for managing to stay up when you've spent hundreds of millions of pounds is a bit embarrassing.

And I've seen the video of Vieira kicking an Everton fan. What's that phrase Jamie Vardy famously coined? "Chat ****, get banged?"

A pitch invasion for not being relegated is small time as ****. We didn't even do that under Mick.

I think you will find we did have a pitch invasion under mick for not getting relegated.

 

[Shergar]

Vieira was in the right, he was apprehending a trespasser who had broken the stadium rules.

 

[JR WAS KING]

We did.

I seem to remember a pitch invasion after a 1-1 draw with Blackburn at the end of the 2009/10 season, and we weren't even mathematically safe.

Then again in 2001/11 against Blackburn

Wolves 2-3 Blackburn

Wolves maintain their Premier League status in dramatic fashion despite a final-day defeat by Blackburn.

Fair enough, didn't think we did. The last one I remember was 5-4 against Rotherham in League One.

Another video of Viera.

[Dan G WWFC]

I don't like pitch invasions.

They used to be for the heat of the moment, last day promotion or safety in the league.

Now they're happening for the sake of it. Rotherham was shambolic.

Fans seem entitled to run onto the pitch and think they can do what they want.

Shame he didn't knock him out like big Dunc would have done.

I'd love to see these muppets try the same things if it was just one on one. They would literally **** their pants

 

[Chris H]

Secondly, if you choose to make that decision, don't be surprised if you end up getting whacked.

Bloody hell, I agree that if you go on you’ve made your decision and should accept the consequences but getting @Pagey done by the mafia for entering the pitch is a bit much.

Then again…

Ban this Everton ***** for life: who wears shorts to the football?!

Maybe it’s just me and maybe I’m just not passionate enough about football but I can’t imagine winning a game making me act like a full on **** in someone’s face like that.

Clearly I just don’t care as much as that guy…

This happened during the first pitch invasion after Everton's third goal I believe. Having seen all the details now thanks to social media, how beautiful it would have been if Palace equalised in injury time to put them back in their boxes. Alas, it would have been sweet justice.

Clough justice....

Good on Vieira imo

What the ref should do in the case of Everton game or another one that happens like this with scoring near the end game and there's an assault on manager player or say a match official. They should abandon the game and the result as it was would be null and void. That would stop these pitch invasions.

As @Jonzy54 will tell you the players safety on the pitch is paramount at all times

Any consequences would stop it. At the moment, there are none, so it will keep happening.

That or get the plastic ties from that oil protestor and strap them to the post and let the game continue.

Obviously not much deterrent against our strikers.

Then the skip rats from Anfield chucking lit flares into our end (the burning type, not smoke bomb). Landed in the disabled section and injured a guide dog.

But, but, but Liverpool fans are all loveable seriously misunderstood "rogues"....

 

[Jawwfc]

The normality now of Pitch Invasions and Flares has become common occurrence in football over the last few years,

At City it was just copy cat behaviour today, they've saw the club win multiple league titles over the years it is not a special event to them anymore.

 

[Jay Jay de Wolf]

As I said previously about Billy Sharp and now again with Robin Olsen being assaulted.. It will be brushed over somewhat?

Yet if it had been Ronaldo Man U against Man City that a fan assaulted it would be main news all day today and tomorrow.

The authorities must act now. They can't keep brushing these incidents under the carpet. Steve Gerrard was rightly furious that his players could not leave the pitch safely.

Act now before someone gets seriously hurt, or even worse, a player or official gets killed.

However Frank, his comment that (and I paraphrase here) that questions should be asked of Pep and Man City wasn't called for. Why bring Pep into it?

 

[BlahBlah]

Nothing to do with politics at all,trying to make it so is stupid
We had much worse going on in the 60s when the country was booming
Its just a mindless bunch of idiots and sheep,and lets not pretend we are whiter than white either, we have done some dumb stuff in the past, just havent had the excuse lately lol
Heard hes been identified now so hope he gets jailed plus lifetime ban,time we had some real deterrents in this country

Politics affects the mood of the nation, that was the point, rather than than the direct cause. We've had 20+ years of good behaviour, and now we're getting increasing episodes of sub-standard and angrier behaviour....social unrest comes from frustration and bad times.
I notice that Southgate has said something very similar today....football gets the blame when it's only an outlet for people to lash out.

Disorder a 'reflection' of the country - Southgate

Fan disorder seen at recent football matches is a "reflection of where we are as a country at the moment", says England manager Gareth Southgate.
