WorrallOwl17 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Can't blame him at all. Some cocky little scruff videoing him for 10 seconds, rodding him and calling him god knows what, he did well to keep his cool for that long to be honest. And good on the Everton fans ushering him away and putting their arms around him to get him out of there. Goes to show it's only the minority who act up and play the idiot, but that'll be enough to bring heavy punishments back. Teams will be behind closed doors soon for any pitch invasion, only way to stop it happening really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddogbob Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) How many assaults have we now seen this week? It's almost like normalised behaviour. Absolutely stupid behaviour.

For to long, people have got away with things. It's odd as I was leaving the UK, I just noticed how angry folks seemed all the time, it's like something switched. It's like they had just lost respect for themselves and those around them. If I compare it to here (and I'm having my own troubles with employment etc, but outside that) people are so different. Respect one another, help each other, so chilled out. You honestly don't realise till your out of it. It's actually a complete mind fizz, how different it is. I've not once seen someone lose it. Something definitely isn't right in the UK right now and I'm potentially flying back into it. Edited May 20, 2022 by Maddogbob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 We have seen this sort of the behaviour on the horizon for some time now. Decent folk have been mentioning it on Owlstalk for most of the season, yet some people felt the need to have a go at them, told them they were talking rubbish and come out with stupid comments like, 'This is nowt like the 70's', or, 'It is just the same as it has always been.' The fans are going to be the ones that suffer - more stewards and more police = higher costs for the clubs which will mean higher ticket prices or reduced capacities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's across society I'm afraid, it's just that football is covered in the media. They don't cover City centres on a weekend or show what schools deal with on a daily basis. Same with the NHS emergency departments and shops and basically anywhere the public in general go. We are seeing a lowering of values and behaviour across the board. Some say it comes from the top, others say it comes from the bottom. Not wanting to get political though, but summat has to be done cos its only going in one direction. Yep totally agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mixture of having a camera phone and being absolute pondlife is like a new culture… it’s like ‘entertainment’ and a new way of actually living for bellends like this. The phone/filming element of being a bellend is like the cherry on the cake to the bellends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Too many people now think there are zero consequences to their action and they can do as they please. Think it's part down to social media and how it conditions people to think they do/say anything and they'll be no repercussions. Eventually, that transmits itself into real life and you have idiots storming the pitch and verbally/physically attacking footballers, managers etc. Not wanting to turn this thread political, but I suppose when you've got a PM who seems to have zero respect for the law, then is it such a surprise that it ends up trickling down? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at a non league game earlier this season.Stood watching it with my cousin and some of his mates, this season this club has suddenly got a "firm"(mostly those banned from local league clubs, apparently) Well it kicked off at this game. I've never heard anything like it, guys in the mid/late 40s and 50s talking about how great it is and its that the "youngsters are coming through". Its a weird subculture that I don't understand. My cousin isn't entirely innocent, when i was walking out him with he said about it, to which I replied, its not my thing at all. The reply came of its important though that people know they can't come here and take the ********, else they'll get a slap... I've definitely noticed this season at this level, wat more abused aimed at players, numerous times smoke bombs end up on the pitch, and reports of trouble at games(i'm talking about this non league not Wednesday, just so no one is confused). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Good on him. Fans have no right whatsoever to enter on the pitch let alone run up to players/managers swearing and threatening them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
