Fans running on the pitch to celebrate a goal?

[Macman]

I just dont understand it. From our perspective yesterday the goals were amazing to celebrate, but why do so many fans (of all clubs) run on the pitch to celebrate a goal? Surely you know full well you will be ejected, possibly arrested, and even face a ban (on top of missing the rest of the current game). You even see it in League One and Two games, fans jumping over the hoardings to celebrate the goal with the players only for a steward to grab them.

maybe im old fashioned! I fail to see how fans that do this have no regard for the consequences they will suffer? Go ballistic in the seats, its just as much fun and you wont get yourself, or your club, in bother!

Booze and adrenaline. It’s more embarrassing when your own teams players call you out on it, liked they’d be buzzin some strangers running at them on the pitch.

No one got hurt, I think a few hours in a cell is punishment enough. Wolves ay we.

 

[Peszkywolf]

There's bigger things to get annoyed about in this world, just enjoy the win. No one got hurt, well maybe a few limbs from celebrating

You might as well stop the players celebrating as well then!

 

[MrwulfAndrew]

I think in a weird way it does enhance the atmosphere but im with the OP in that i don't get why you would do it given the obvious punishment. In a weird way we can class them as martyrs

I have enjoyed it! I wasnt specifically referring to our win, just in general!

? Im referring to fans running on the pitch to celebrate knowing your punishment could be being arrested. Like mentioned above, maybe booze is the reason.

I suspect 100% that any away fan running onto pitch has had an alcoholic drink

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

The kid who must have been about 12 yesterday made me laugh, the stewards obviously wanted to carry him off but then realised they'd be stuck with an unaccompanied minor and let him back into the crowd.

Stupid, but was a bit emotional yesterday!

The euphoria of scoring a winning goal with the last kick of a local derby after being 2-0 behind with 10 minutes left would justify just a bit of excitement though.

The players would have jumped in amongst the supporters if they could as well. No booze to blame for them, just sheer joy.

Thank you..

I've done some really stupid things in my life time. Fortunately I've managed to turn my life around for the most part. Never though have I felt the urge to go on to a football pitch during a goal celebration. This makes me conclude it truly takes a special kind of idiot to do it.

 

[MrwulfAndrew]

As it is such an important issue for you i have now corrected the spelling of weird. May i never again make a mistake when writing fast.

 

[topcat99]

It was probably the unadulterated joy of ramming the “2-0 on your big day out “ chant right down their throats.

 

[Burton Wolf]

It will always happen. Just one of those things. I have been guilty more than once over the years

 

[WeAreTheWolvesII]

It's not like it happens all the time. When you win like that, you go more mental than usual.

There's a video going round where Raul is tapping the lads who are arrested on the floor, Podence shared a picture with the two fans in it and Adama gave the chap a hug who ran to him, so I reckon they liked it in those circumstances, obviously can't do it on just any goal.

 

[Baboon]

It's self-indulgent misbehaviour by a few and there are no acceptable excuses.

 

[Sideshow Bob]

It might have helped a few fans that there were Wolves stewards mixed in with the Villa ones.

 

[Glow69]

Don't see any issues with it in circumstances like that!

 

[Shergar]

It’s just one of those things, sometimes it’s uncontrollable - just like grabbing and hugging someone you don’t know when one of those type of goals/circumstances happen. A few seconds of uncontrollable joy.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

I like it when the players embrace them and let them join the celebration

 

[Hazza]

Was a thing in the 50’s as well

I always wonder what sort of people choose to buy the seats right next to the away fans. Obviously absolutely loving dishing it out when they were winning but couldn't get out of the ground fast enough at the end.

It is now Ruben Neves scores and makes it Wolves 3 Aston Vanilla 2

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

A lad I work with is a Villa steward and a fan…..just text me to ask if he can book the day of tomorrow.

 

[1972 i began]

Say yeah,but yow'l still gerrit on Tuesday.

 

[KnowNuttin]

Yeah, technically you shouldn't do it... But in the over sanitised world of modern football, it's quite refreshing in a way. As long as they were only going on to celebrate with our players and not incite the home fans it's fairly harmless. A slap on the wrist should suffice.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

How do we know that some people may have had a knife on them. Unlikely maybe, but imagine the repercussions if a player got seriously injured.

 

[lets all have a disco]

Bit hard to be critical as I've done it myself on a few occasions..... Sheff utd away when Simon Osborn scored the free kick in the last minute, was in with the sheff fans, jumped up and had to run on the pitch to get away from em........ Derby away promotion when keogh scored, again ran on the pitch, funny think was I was in the disabled section of wolves fans as it was the only way I could get a ticket......and a few more occasions especially at home. And yes it usually involved a few beers.......
These days though fans are risking losing there loyalty ticket advantages for a moment of exuberance.... In the old days you just got kicked out..... Mind you when they kicked me out at Sheffield utd after a ticking off, the police were laughing as they kept the wolves fans in, did me no favours as I had to run the gauntlet with there fans again.......... Learnt me lesson good n proper......

 

[WV10Wolf]

Some of us can remember the south bank running on the pitch when we won a corner

Is that Barry from Auf Wiedersehen Pet narrating the video?

 

[YamYamWolf]

In these sort of circumstances surely it could be forgiven. Pure joy, local derby, plenty of booze. It just added to the whole scenes.

Go and watch footage of the spartak trvana v Bratislava game from today. Nothing like that happened. No one got hurt.

 

[WinchWolf]

There were about 3 pitch invasions in the mad 6-4 game against rotherham, we were a bit worried that the ref was going to abandon the game.

The guy who ran on first, after Dicko’s 3rd goal I think, received a long ban for his troubles.

 

[WasStefan]

Speak for yourself. Pitch invasion after relegation to League 1 is the highlight of my Wolves supporting life. You can’t buy that sort of apathy these days

I hope u said No
