Come on, lets be fair here, the scum only had a couple of fans invade the pitch after our game, unfortunately the rest of their inbred relatives were joined at the hip, shoulder, head, you name it, they had no choice but to be "dragged" along.

Their pitch "invsion" was an utter "juke". But is typical of the tin pot club that they are. Fine them? Yes, you bet. Its not about how many plastic fans ran on the pitch, but the fact that they broke the law.

Fine em - HEAVILY! If it was Millwall, we'd all expect them to be fined. Scum are no different. The only comparison, is they are both SCUM.....isnt that right Di! :wink:

I wonder of there would have been a pitch invasion if we had won the semi final at our place?

All I got was a report on Preston North End, nothing about Norwich if that's what the scum relates to.

Say this, as someone who's been caught up in a field invasion we know it's not the thing to do, but people will get over enthusiastic and leave their seat and venture into parts of the stadium they shouldn't be when emotions take over or a significant result has been obtained.

Furthermore a mere pitch invasion in light of a favorite home team victory in England would seem tame compared to some outside nations and other sports. It's just the nature of some people - we don't always condone their actions and it can spoil the enjoyment of 'normally' behaved spectators, but when emotions take over, these things will occur unfortunately.

'allegedly' i.e. it's only the players word

It goes on to say : It’s too easy for fans nowadays to invade football pitches. Something needs to be done about it

True, but what's the alternative, go back to the 80's and put them in cages ?

Thankfully incidents such as these are few and far between but as before there will always be a propensity for something like this. It's when some idiot brings a weapon onto the field that is the greatest danger.
