[Albion] THREE YEAR banning order for running onto the pitch at the Amex...

[Worthing exile]

Oh my. I'm guessing the miserable farts on here moaning about the idiots over exuberance aren't capable of running, never mind jumping onto the pitch.

There's a time & place to go onto the pitch- this isn't it but he hasn't done a lot wrong other than trespas

If he just ran around like an idiot, yes it is entertaining, but he incited the away fans so it could have got a lot worse.

3 years is fair.

 

[Clive Walker]

All the people that cheered at the time are now condemning the bloke.

 

[southstandandy]

You know the rules, so if you're stupid enough to do it then take the consequences on the chin. No issue with his ban.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

It's not what banning orders were introduced for.

Police are abusing their powers to get their stats up and sanitise the game even more which suits Barber's agenda so of course the club are keen to support. The club will soon change their tune when they realise they have season tickets to sell as they have done already.

The police apply to the court for banning orders but it is the court that issues them.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

What a plum. He cant really argue with that.

 

[Badger Boy]

All the people that cheered at the time are now condemning the bloke.

I would imagine as many people thought, "what a wanker", as cheered. I know which I did.

 

[Swansman]

Poor guy.

Yes he broke the law, but he did nothing wrong.

Then he’s done something wrong….

I was just thinking how many giving the lad dog's abuse have "entered the field of play" in the past. I have done - countless times. Exuberence. Celebration. Protest.

The lad didn't assault players or other fans. He just ran on the pitch. Three years is much too harsh and indicative of how precious the game has become.

He didn't 'just run on the pitch' though did he, he gesticulated to the Palace fans which was described as inciting them. Surely you've seen the recent footage of fans coming on the pitch and assaulting players and or managers!

As far as I see it, he got what he deserved in the current climate.

 

[jcdenton08]

Lovely stuff.

Don't. Invite. The. Pitch. He knew this.

It's the absolute minimum he deserves. He should get his head down, think about his priorities in life and then see where he is in three years time. There is no excuse for running on the pitch and it needs to be stamped out for everyone's benefit. Maybe he'll take up playing Saturday league football instead and gain some respect for the pitch.

Not sure but I think you'll find the ban is for all regulated football and that could include your Saturday/Sunday league stuff. It could also prevent him from watching his kids play in organised football.

Perhaps you'd care to enlighten us as to what banning orders are for then?

Trespass is a civil offence. There is a law (ie criminal law) about entering the field of play of a football pitch. He broke the law.

Come on TB, you must have broken the law some when?
Pitch at York match? End of season pitch invasions at the Goldstone and Withdean?
Smoked some illegal substance?

 

[Stat Brother]

Only 3 years - got off lightly.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The good egg has become a bad egg and will have to sulfer

Not sure if that made me snigger or titter. Equally unwise in Scunthorpe.

Context.

I've taken the occasional massive shit.

But never in the bedroom. Well.....hardly ever.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

We'll be into discussing when it's OK to give the missus a slap, next.

The answer, apparently, is before 1782.

No, no, yes and no. Everybody was on the pitch when Russell Slade kept us up.

No, no, yes and no. Everybody was on the pitch when Russell Slade kept us up.

The club are now checking Withdeans CCTV.

He’s lucky……some are being sent to jail……

We can sleep safer in our beds knowing pitch invaders are being locked up.

Wonder what the sentence would be now for the two herberts,during our protest phase, who ran on the pitch at half time ( orient if my memory serves) and handcuffed themselves to the goal?

Seems excessive to me.

Substitute excessive with ......."3 years.....what a load of bollocks"
