There has to be an end to this sort of thing. That's a tricky one for me. So if we'd beaten Sunderland last week on penalties, we would have probably had the same level of pitch invasion, but hopefully without a moronic assault on a Sunderland player. I wouldn’t want us to be sanctioned with a no fans order if some idiot did something though. That said, I don’t know what else can be done. The level of policing and stewarding required to stop such incursions would be extreme and no way will fences ever return. For me, the courts need to make a proper example of this poor excuse for a human being and not listen to his inevitable bleating mitigation - wife just left him, just lost his job, etc etc. I hope he gets a couple of years inside and that might be a proper deterrent to others.

Pitch invasions could lead to huge on the pitch brawls…. Didn’t Rotherham fans nearly get fighting when they were promoted this season? I think Birmingham (?) fans were also on the pitch recently. Then you get a thousand plus fans up close goading another stand of fans. There was that time someone from our fanbase tried to punch Clint Hill, so it happened on our pitch too.

I don’t care about Shef Utd, they mean nothing to me. I want to take my kids to football and enjoy a good game without worrying about their safety. Examples need to be made here. Totally agree…..but getting Forest kicked out and letting the pigs in? 100% NO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Arrest made and the video evidence will hopefully see him sent down. Forest also could be held liable for failing to control fans in the stadium. Probably unlikely but they will probably be fined. could have been nasty with the pen shoot out, celebrations and smoke bombs in front of the away end.

Devonstrix Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This is the most serious assault I’ve ever seen on a footballer on the pitch in this country. Hopefully, this incident plus the worrying trend for other thuggish behaviour increasing at football grounds, will be the subject of some pressure on the judiciary to set some examples of defendants brought before them.

However the authorities will bottle it and the problem will continue. Its only the semi and some of these fans will be watching their team in the same league next season!!

Deepcar_lights Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Pitch invading went out with the arc. It's way past being a cool thing to do. Running around with mobiles in selfie mode? Ramming blades head first. Total gimp behaviour. We're talking fully developed adult humans here.... It won't be long before someone takes it up a level and stabs a player. Needs sorting.

g-owls Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 The guy who ran on and attacked the Forest player when they played Leicester in the FA Cup was given a four month sentence. I’d say that’s not enough. The deterrent has to be tougher. Set the rules, make it clear that this type of behaviour will result in severe penalties. Some may say I’m being a dinosaur, but the way it’s going, we are on a path towards a player receiving life threatening injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have been looking at a much more serious outcome for Billy Sharp if he had smacked his head on the ground, given that the moronic 'supporter' ran at some speed and floored him with a pretty savage looking head butt. As it turns out, Sharp just needed stitches in his lip, which these days will probably just lead to a charge of abh, plus of course football related offences. That said, the maximum sentence for abh is 5 years and whilst he’s hardly likely to get that, I sincerely hope that he gets a significant custodial sentence. Anybody linking that violent assault to Heckingbottom's conduct needs to give their head a wobble by the way. As Sharp required stitches he could be charged with wounding.
