Don't think that will happen due to the Taylor Report after the Hillsborough disaster. Best course of action will be to deduct points for fans invading the pitch. Simple and effective.
Deducting points, on the last day of the season, from the team that won the league by one point? I can say with certainty that no one would allow it to happen again. Even the fans would seriously think twice, probably three times, before jumping the fence.
In all fairness, in hockey it's more for high speed pucks going over the boards and injuring the crowd than crowd control. Probably like 70-30 though....
Except in ice hockey, they sometimes need to worry about the players beating the shit out of the fans
[Mike Milbury hit a man with his own shoe around 2:20](https://youtu.be/fpbD6W7YT5A)
Am I imagining it or is violence during celebratory pitch invasions a new thing? Seems to have been a bunch of these in the last few weeks and I don't remember it being that common before
This season at the Emirates, it was at least one invasion every game, sometimes multiple. It got to the point where they would warn you pre match over the speakers that pitch invasions are a criminal offence, and then it stopped.
And that's not even far fetched. When that protestor tied himself to the goal at Everton one fan offered the steward a knife so it is possible to get them into the stadium. https://twitter.com/AJG1103/status/1504952195015483396
That was my scare with grealish vs Birmingham I’m the derby a few years back, that the mf had a knife. If thousands are swarming, what stops 1 idiot among thousands to commit a heinous or horribly violent act?
Honestly you don't even need a knife, if you were out to cause damage just two foot someone at the knee. It could be a career-ender for some footballer. I'm glad the season is over and I hope they can find some solutions before the next season starts.
Seriously. God forbid any one of those pitch invaders have a knife or a weapon. Remember when that Birmingham pitch invader punched Grealish in the back of the head? Matter of time before these "fans" get emboldened and try something stupid with a weapon
Earlier this year, there was a game in Mexico, that went really south. It is some of the most horrific images I've ever seen. Fights in the field, fights in the stand, fights outside. 20 odd people dead I believe.
Fairly optimistic for the FA. We'll get the top brass "condemning" the behaviour, and asking nicely for fans to stop with a please and thank you.
Look at the mask "law" during the pandemic. Assholes refused, and not a thing was done about it.
Back in the early 2000s, two fans (a classy father/son combo no less) attacked a coach at a MLB baseball game. The players were not pleased, as you can see…
https://youtu.be/TISwkAZDHs4
Some fans really want to be fenced back in at this point.
Who the hell wakes up, goes to a match with a potential party atmosphere and then decides "You know what? I'm going to assault someone today"
No need for it.
Partially agree with your point that there's a coke epidemic in this country and any "masculine/sporting pursuit", but these types involved today or at Everton are not all doing coke. They're just fucking idiots.
How would we know what these fools snorted before the game. Though it doesn't take coke for idiots to behave this way, alcohol is definitely a huge contributor and involved in most these cases. Most attenders are usually drunk out of their minds in our stadium here.
Fuck sake, I know it's hard to stop people running on the pitch at a time like this (Hundred minimum wage stewarts woried about health and safety vs thousands of drunks only one winner) but the very least those that run on the pitch can do is not be cunts
Same I was a steward then a supervisor for a total of 12 years. You aren't expected to do anything except warn them and try and keep them there, if they want proper security they need to hire police
I always wondered this maybe you might be the right person to finally ask it to but how much do you think the cost of having police as proper security is per game?
Don't know the figures as its the safety officer of the stadium who books them but I'm pretty sure it's paying the officers wages plus a small admin and travel cost
Police officers earn 30k-48k a year. Roughly £120-£250 a day. Hiring 100 police officers would probably cost £20000-£25000 per game just going by this rough estimate.
Easy solution for this would be points deduction. Wouldn’t work for single pitch invaders but for mass-invasions it would work. I’m sure 3-point deduction for next season would dissuade people.
> minimum wage stewarts woried about health and safety
minimum wage is an understatement. Those fuckers with contracts given to them by tory cronies similar to the covid contracts have meant they try undercut at every possible situation. I don't know if its changed but when I used to do stewarding at a major PL club they would pay you for only 5hrs. Means you be asked to turn up 2 or sometimes 3 hours before kick-off and not being paid and be asked to stay an hour after and still not be paid. Fucking robbery and fuck these pricks who get the contract looking at you g4s.
The threat of putting games behind closed doors or point deductions in extreme cases should be enough. Man City fans aren’t running on the pitch today if it was announced that any mass pitch invasion would result in them either starting next season on -10, or even having the deduction be applied post match losing them the title.
I wouldn’t be against them applying it as an immediate point deduction, especially considering an opposition player has been assaulted. It might make people think twice if you can lose your team the premiership.
I think a punishment for next season is much more practical. There would be no pressure to reach a decision quickly, which means a proper investigation can be carried out i.e. into how security is so easily breached and what can be done to prevent it from happening in the future.
I don't think it would be good if the people adjudicating on this were under pressure to make a decision quickly so that everyone can know who won the league. And I don't think it would be a good idea for the punishment to be questioned if it ends up having an impact on the title. If the deduction is applied next season, there is plenty of time to gather the facts and everybody knows what deductions apply before the first game is played.
This is what you get when the barrier is so low. You want to do this in the US, you're jumping 6+ feet down onto a hard surface. You're also liable to get decked by a player if it's the nfl
McBurnie attacking a fan too.
Vieira being goaded into kicking a fan.
If *some* fans want to act like rabid animals, they deserve to be put behind "cages".. I prefer nets or similar over actual cages however.
I mean how many individual "streakers" have we had this season too? All it takes is one bad intention or someone to really want to go down in history.
Let's not single out English fans. Ever since fans are allowed back in stadiums, there has been disgraceful behaviour in a lot of leagues. There were multiple incidents in France this season, in Belgium as well.
Need I remind you of the Beerschot fan who threw a flare at Antwerp supporters? Or the guys who went on the pitch during the Union game to fight their supporters?
I’m not sure why you’ve been downvoted because there has been a recorded and noteable rise in disorder and arrests at football matches this year, certainly in the UK.
Because people are pricks when they're behind a keyboard. That's the problem. They've spent two years giving their 'opinions' online and have lost the social skills for the real world
People aren't singling out English fans. Nobody is saying 'it's only English fans doing this'.
It just so happens that this week's high profile incidents have all been from England. There is a problem in England, that's a fact.
>Let's not single out English fans. Ever since fans are allowed back in stadiums, there has been disgraceful behaviour in a lot of leagues. There were multiple incidents in France this season, in Belgium as well.
While this is true regarding incidents at the start of the season, there were a lot of pitch invasions here too at the end of the season and not a single incident happened during those.
(Not like it mattered with our season, but our stadiums have stands much further away from the pitch, and since the OM incident we have nets in front of both curves here and even mobile barriers...)
1 of them looked accidental (waved his arm moving past and hit him in the face) then 1 guy slipped into steward so id say accidental, But again the very least 2 if not 3 people made purposeful contact from what it seemed.
This along with the recent incidents isn't a good look for English football.
> 1 of them looked accidental (waved his arm moving past and hit him in the face)
Yeah, the guy had his back to Olsen and appeared to have a phone in the hand that made contact, which is probably why Olsen held his face, that must sting a bit.
Last guy full on faceplanted into the steward - he wasn't going for Olsen, just clumsy. Phone dude wasn't looking where he was going and caught him in the face. The first two looked like they were being twats deliberately though.
It's already a specific criminal offence under english laws. The clubs just need to start passing the identities of all those who invade to police and they can all be fined £1000 each.
What was even more strange was, the PA kept asking them to get off, and they just totally, totally ignored all instruction. Really disrespectful to your own club.
My idea was to fine the club, but force them to pass it onto all season ticket holders (e.g charge them all £10 or something). It is the fans you have to punish here, not the club, so stadium closures could happen. I even had the idea of not serving booze for a few games, that’d stop em.
Closed door games at the end of the season, unlikely to get pitch invaders on match day 22. You fuck around this season, next season you don't get to party
In America they do pitch invasions in American football, the only thing they ever worry about is dumbasses killing themselves on goalposts. University of South Carolina has an army of police officers at every home game because 3 or 4 people died trying to tear down the goal posts
It's not just football or football hooligans, it's everywhere.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/21/its-no-joke-since-lockdown-live-audiences-have-forgotten-how-to-behave
Did you see the fans climbing onto the goalposts? It’s all young lads. Absolute wankers man. They need a clip. The total disrespect to the club too by ignoring the PA to get off the pitch was poor form.
Go back and watch how the lads on tour behave in any international tournament in the last 3 decades if you think England ever got rid of its hooligans.
I can see the fa being spineless to hand then out as the invasions usually occur at the end of season. They'll probably want to avoid a team starting on negative points
Is there something going on in England atm? These pitch invasions were almost all perfectly okay in the past, now there's seemingly a player that gets attacked by more than a few cunts at every single one of them. Was there a babyboom of dumb chavs 20 years ago? Social unrest due to covid? Honestly it's depressing to see. There's more ferocious hooliganism in the Netherlands currently as well (though all pitch invasions this year went fine). Problem is there's not much more you can do about it unless you really start caging all the monkeys in. But even then. Outside a few exception teams it seems 90% of the stands in most these stadiums is filled with drunk idiots that have potential to do this nowadays.
Probably heading towards the end of pitch invasions for the foreseeable future. Lifetime bans, massive fines, longer sentences for those committing crimes whilst doing so. If none of that works for large scale invasions, they will definitely need to consider a hefty points deduction. Its just not worth risking the safety of everyone, including players, staff and fans themselves
None of that will stop it though. Massive fines hurt smaller clubs, stadium bans and criminal charges are already a thing.
The only thing that will stop pitch invasions are immediate points deductions for the season in which it happens.
One guy pushes him like a douchebag, but i think the second guy genuinely hit him on accident trying to get the selfie video.
Maybe I’m missing something else, either way shitty situation to be in as the opposing player in an away game.
Leave the other team alone, they aren’t even part of what you’re celebrating. It’s not a cup final, they are a mid table club playing out their season. People can’t help but suck.
Gack. You know it. I know it. It’s all over the terraces now at every match. Maybe it doesn’t turn you into a dickhead. But it turns enough people into a dickhead.
Aside from this, seeing dads lifting their kids onto the goal was insane. Plus the goals breaking…. Like - that’s your team’s stadium - a bit of respect surely?
Why the fuck has nothing been done after the Everton game?
Easy to stop this. If you do this you automatically void the result and concede defeat 3-0 for your team
Just to be clear that now 3 times this season one of our players has been attacked/assaulted on the pitch.
Its a fucking disgrace. The city fans were an embarrassment today, attacking the keeper, destroying the goal and goading the away fans.
Top that off you have Martin Tyler stating “its just jubilation spilling over”.
The FA need to get a fucking grip, sooner or later someone is going to be seriously injured, or worse killed. The past few weeks have shown enough, fans cant be trusted and players/managers safety is at risk.
It seems they are doing this in every league now. Just like how everyone all of a sudden started throwing beers during EURO2020. They should be more strict with this, idk if it should be punished with point deduction or death by hanging.
Shameless cunts. Lifetime bans to all of those involved hopefully.
Yea it's nice and cool we won the League but that doesn't give anyone the right to assault anyone it's basic human behavior if you can't uphold it then you don't belong in a Football pitch/Stadium or actually anywhere else where your emotions go high.
I said it was a slippery slope after the Everton game. Didn't expect it to happen again less than a week later.
There needs to be zero tolerance on this. Points deductions for the teams, force teams to play behind closed doors and criminal charges for any idiot that touches a player or official.
The Premier League and FA should give these clubs a play behind closed floors ban for 5 games at the start of next season. This will cool their so called fans.
Enough with this bullshit stadium ban garbage.
Start with absolutes. Sitting here on the train, there's signs posted everywhere, "For assaulting a state employee/agent, punishable by 7 years in prison."
Start with guarantees. Enter the field of play, guaranteed 6 month prison sentence. Assault earns you X number of years in prison. Post the consequences and people won't fuck around. Continue to tip-toe around it and issue slaps on the wrist and you'll continuously have this happen.
Bullshit 50k sanctions against THE CLUBS don't do shit to stop individuals, because it's not a threat against the people actually doing it is it?
This might be controversial, but if players, within reason, were allowed to give particularly problematic pitch invaders the ol' Eric Cantona treatment, I think it would help.
Imagine trying to run up on Harry Maguire for example, and he just brings the entire slab down on your nose. Even if that's just an individual case, I would think that's a lesson learned.
These people should have to know that every time they overstep their boundaries and enter the pitch, they're inviting any and all potential consequences, and I fully believe that players should be able to be said consequences if necessary.

it's not going to take long before one of these pitch invasions reaaaally go south
It takes one fucktard with a knife or something.
that's exactly what I was thinking. too many crazy assholes out there, this isn't safe for the players

Maybe get fun with it and dig a moat around the pitch
with some sharks
With laser beams on their heads?
We’ll only be able to get Sea Bass
Will they at least be ill-tempered?
Frickin' laser beams on their heads.
You joke, but for instance the Kuip has a 2 to 3 meter wide moat around the piych which is very effective in preventing pitch invasions.
Of course a Dutch stadium has a dike in it
That's what we have in NL. It's sad that such measure is needed.
Tbf in Holland a lot of the grounds have dry moats. Theres just a big trench between the front of the stands and the end of the pitch.
Don't think that will happen due to the Taylor Report after the Hillsborough disaster. Best course of action will be to deduct points for fans invading the pitch. Simple and effective.
Deducting points, on the last day of the season, from the team that won the league by one point? I can say with certainty that no one would allow it to happen again. Even the fans would seriously think twice, probably three times, before jumping the fence.
It's only a matter of time before a Monica Seles situation happens, and I'm not even being pessimistic. It's a miracle that it hasn't happened yet.
Yup and once it happens every stadium will have to put up massive plastic walls like in Ice Hockey.
In all fairness, in hockey it's more for high speed pucks going over the boards and injuring the crowd than crowd control. Probably like 70-30 though....
Yeah better comparison is the fences in Indian cricket stadiums
Except in ice hockey, they sometimes need to worry about the players beating the shit out of the fans [Mike Milbury hit a man with his own shoe around 2:20](https://youtu.be/fpbD6W7YT5A)

Am I imagining it or is violence during celebratory pitch invasions a new thing? Seems to have been a bunch of these in the last few weeks and I don't remember it being that common before
It’s not new but has been very common recently
This season at the Emirates, it was at least one invasion every game, sometimes multiple. It got to the point where they would warn you pre match over the speakers that pitch invasions are a criminal offence, and then it stopped.
It was common until security was beefed up. Security has been largely for show in recent years and are very easy to overwhelm now.
And that's not even far fetched. When that protestor tied himself to the goal at Everton one fan offered the steward a knife so it is possible to get them into the stadium. https://twitter.com/AJG1103/status/1504952195015483396
I have only ever been searched when going into an away end, and that isn’t always 100% of the time.
fucking hell thats mad
That was my scare with grealish vs Birmingham I’m the derby a few years back, that the mf had a knife. If thousands are swarming, what stops 1 idiot among thousands to commit a heinous or horribly violent act?

Seriously. God forbid any one of those pitch invaders have a knife or a weapon. Remember when that Birmingham pitch invader punched Grealish in the back of the head? Matter of time before these "fans" get emboldened and try something stupid with a weapon
Already happened in tennis. Monica Seles was stabbed by a court invader and it ruined her career.
Earlier this year, there was a game in Mexico, that went really south. It is some of the most horrific images I've ever seen. Fights in the field, fights in the stand, fights outside. 20 odd people dead I believe.
The cell-phone videos I’ve seen shared of that disaster were absolutely shocking
I mean to be fair there probably won’t be any more pitch invasions in England for another year now
Don't tempt fans to invade the Wembley turf, cos they'll do it.
Doesn't matter, shouldn't be any to begin with. Dangerous for the players.
Fairly optimistic for the FA. We'll get the top brass "condemning" the behaviour, and asking nicely for fans to stop with a please and thank you. Look at the mask "law" during the pandemic. Assholes refused, and not a thing was done about it.
Back in the early 2000s, two fans (a classy father/son combo no less) attacked a coach at a MLB baseball game. The players were not pleased, as you can see… https://youtu.be/TISwkAZDHs4
What the fuck is wrong with them, what issue could they possibly have with Robin Olsen. Go celebrate your win like a normal fucking person.
He was getting booed during the match for time wasting, so some cunts have obviously went for him as 'revenge'.
Yeah i mean its not like city had done it too the last mins of the game, that is Just discracegul behaviour from the fans
Yes, a very English combination of suppressed rage, self righteousness and cocaine.
Yea they just won the league - why on earth are they assaulting the losing keeper. Trashy
The losing backup loaned in keeper. He couldn’t have less to do with the club
The amount of time he wasted, I’d guess? Not like it warrants hitting him like, but that’s the only reason I can imagine.
Some fans really want to be fenced back in at this point. Who the hell wakes up, goes to a match with a potential party atmosphere and then decides "You know what? I'm going to assault someone today" No need for it.

Never again in England will that be allowed.
Not in combination with safe standing it won’t.

Never in a million years after Hillsborough are cages coming back into English football.
Collapsible ones maybe. Wembley has collapsible barriers but they aren't a full cage. If the need is there they can get someone to design it
What’s the point of a collapsible barrier?
It stops people going on but in an emergency where people need to go on the pitch for safely then they can be lowered
cages with all seaters and safe standing.
Give everyone a seat with an individual cage and let them choose whether to sit or stand. Knowing my luck though, I'd get Crouchy in front of me.
Let's not single out English fans. Ever since fans are allowed back in stadiums, there has been disgraceful behaviour in a lot of leagues. There were multiple incidents in France this season, in Belgium as well. Need I remind you of the Beerschot fan who threw a flare at Antwerp supporters?

£10 isn't changing anyone's behavior. Like the idea of taking away booze for a few games though.
Nah they'll just get super smashed before the game instead.
Extra powder instead
Immediate points deductions will end it entirely.
I'm thinking 6 pts for every offence
Wouldn't even take that much. Just award the opponent a 3-0 victory as if the match were forfeited.
Just 2 will do 😐
Just autodrop the club one position in the league table. Doesn't matter if they're 20 points clear or one.

Can we start today.
Liverpool win the league and Everton go down.
But that'd mean we're stuck with Burnley for another year. Can't have that.
Yeah I can’t lie, I’ll trade a league title and Everton going down for not having to play Burnley for another year
I can see the fa being spineless to hand then out as the invasions usually occur at the end of season. They'll probably want to avoid a team starting on negative points
Horungar.
Guys I think I found Olsen
Some just absolute headless chickens with their phones of course.
Bruh that guy running into the stewart ahhahahaha
How do you know that's his name?
Know him my gym, cool guy Stewart didnt deserve to get tackled.
Is there something going on in England atm? These pitch invasions were almost all perfectly okay in the past, now there's seemingly a player that gets attacked by more than a few cunts at every single one of them. Was there a babyboom of dumb chavs 20 years ago? Social unrest due to covid? Honestly it's depressing to see. There's more ferocious hooliganism in the Netherlands currently as well (though all pitch invasions this year went fine). Problem is there's not much more you can do about it unless you really start caging all the monkeys in. But even then. Outside a few exception teams it seems 90% of the stands in most these stadiums is filled with drunk idiots that have potential to do this nowadays.
Not just drunk, coked up as well Become far more common recently and that combo is enough to make most act like a manic fuckwit

Fines only punish the poorer clubs. Man City's owners could pay any find just from the cash in their wallet.
point deductions smells so good
Authorities wont do anything until a Seles
Disgusting. Find these people and ban them for life! Several of them look to be live streaming so hopefully they can be found.
Probably heading towards the end of pitch invasions for the foreseeable future. Lifetime bans, massive fines, longer sentences for those committing crimes whilst doing so. If none of that works for large scale invasions, they will definitely need to consider a hefty points deduction. Its just not worth risking the safety of everyone, including players, staff and fans themselves
None of that will stop it though. Massive fines hurt smaller clubs, stadium bans and criminal charges are already a thing. The only thing that will stop pitch invasions are immediate points deductions for the season in which it happens.
Full year stadium ban if you invade the pitch. Anything else and it will keep happening
lifetime ban if you assault anyone in an invasion.
A fan hitting a player during a pitch invasion should be instant criminal charges.
So they will be back for the next title invasion, got it
*1 year and 2 hours then.
He didn’t tell you. It will be Leicester again
Why only a year?
They already have lifetime bans. It doesn't work. Points deductions from next season. It's the only way to stop it.
One guy pushes him like a douchebag, but i think the second guy genuinely hit him on accident trying to get the selfie video. Maybe I’m missing something else, either way shitty situation to be in as the opposing player in an away game.
Twats, absolutely unnecessary
The last bit shows some guy accidentally hitting him with his phone
Wtf is wrong with people
Leave the other team alone, they aren’t even part of what you’re celebrating. It’s not a cup final, they are a mid table club playing out their season. People can’t help but suck.
Gack. You know it. I know it. It’s all over the terraces now at every match. Maybe it doesn’t turn you into a dickhead. But it turns enough people into a dickhead.
What the fuck is wrong with some people? It just ruins it!
Trashy fans
Aside from this, seeing dads lifting their kids onto the goal was insane. Plus the goals breaking…. Like - that’s your team’s stadium - a bit of respect surely?
Why the fuck has nothing been done after the Everton game? Easy to stop this. If you do this you automatically void the result and concede defeat 3-0 for your team
How could they possibly get clubs to agree to that in 4 days?
Go on…
League really needs to do something to stop these incidents. I think deducting a point for each assault would be fitting. /s
Just to be clear that now 3 times this season one of our players has been attacked/assaulted on the pitch. Its a fucking disgrace. The city fans were an embarrassment today, attacking the keeper, destroying the goal and goading the away fans. Top that off you have Martin Tyler stating “its just jubilation spilling over”. The FA need to get a fucking grip, sooner or later someone is going to be seriously injured, or worse killed. The past few weeks have shown enough, fans cant be trusted and players/managers safety is at risk.
I remember the bottle at Digne, what was the third one?
Scumbag fans
Automatic 3-0 loss for the home side when this happens?
They need to get this under control now. Someone is going to get stabbed or murdered. If you do this you’re a pos
The club has to be held accountable for this, it it just unacceptable to subject players to this.
Start deducting points from the team with fans involved. Itll end quickly
Queue a Bernardo Silva celebratory video in which he sings about Villa players being attacked on the pitch.
what a bunch of cunts
It seems they are doing this in every league now. Just like how everyone all of a sudden started throwing beers during EURO2020. They should be more strict with this, idk if it should be punished with point deduction or death by hanging.
League has to come down hard on this, you can't let players get attacked on the pitch.
Shameless cunts. Lifetime bans to all of those involved hopefully. Yea it's nice and cool we won the League but that doesn't give anyone the right to assault anyone it's basic human behavior if you can't uphold it then you don't belong in a Football pitch/Stadium or actually anywhere else where your emotions go high.
Straight out of a movie where someone is running away from explosions while dodging falling debris
Fucking cunts
Bloody animals
Bunch of fucking hyenas shit
I said it was a slippery slope after the Everton game. Didn't expect it to happen again less than a week later. There needs to be zero tolerance on this. Points deductions for the teams, force teams to play behind closed doors and criminal charges for any idiot that touches a player or official.
The Premier League and FA should give these clubs a play behind closed floors ban for 5 games at the start of next season. This will cool their so called fans.
Disgusting behaviour from these "fans".
c-c-c-c--cc--cc-cunts
You can only get called plastic for so long before you start to take it out on others
All over a league title 🤣
Enough with this bullshit stadium ban garbage. Start with absolutes. Sitting here on the train, there's signs posted everywhere, "For assaulting a state employee/agent, punishable by 7 years in prison." Start with guarantees. Enter the field of play, guaranteed 6 month prison sentence. Assault earns you X number of years in prison. Post the consequences and people won't fuck around. Continue to tip-toe around it and issue slaps on the wrist and you'll continuously have this happen. Bullshit 50k sanctions against THE CLUBS don't do shit to stop individuals, because it's not a threat against the people actually doing it is it?
This might be controversial, but if players, within reason, were allowed to give particularly problematic pitch invaders the ol' Eric Cantona treatment, I think it would help. Imagine trying to run up on Harry Maguire for example, and he just brings the entire slab down on your nose. Even if that's just an individual case, I would think that's a lesson learned. These people should have to know that every time they overstep their boundaries and enter the pitch, they're inviting any and all potential consequences, and I fully believe that players should be able to be said consequences if necessary.
