[Football] Port Vale fan goes after referee when he awards a late penalty to Portsmouth
- Thread starter Dave the OAP
- Start date
I remember watching (on TV) Scotland playing at Hampden Park in the 70s or 80s when a (probably drunk) spectator decided to try this ungainly-in-a-raincoat running on to the pitch thing. One of the Scottish players (I think it was Gordon McQueen, but for fear of litigation won't swear to it!) tackled him. I put it in italics because as a tackle the ball was nowhere near (although one or two of the smaller, more personal, kind may have been eviscerated) but the tackle was high, hard, studs up (and well aimed) at full speed and with maximum force. You almost felt sorry for the crumpled heap of twitching misery and pain that was unceremoniously dragged off by the police - almost! Everybody cheered though.
They're not allowed to do that these days.

I'm of the view that there are far, far too many custodial sentences dispensed -- particularly for women. That said, this imbecile deserves a short spell to reflect, and also to décourager les autres

Port Vale v Portsmouth would suggest the ban was already in effect.

He looked younger from afar. In a midlife crisis … chasing a ref and Just For Men?

Reckon he does a reasonable Parkrun time for his age
Was expecting it to be a coked up 20-something. 62? Grow up, bellend.
Lifetime ban for doing something stupid like that IMO.

Was it a 'stonewaller'?
I think he may well face something a little harsher than that. What a fool. I’d imagine it’s not his first brush with argy bargy either.

Why oh why oh why?
How are we supposed to know whether he's LGBTQ+, and what's the relevance anyway...?

Full head of hair and runs well. Looks good for 62.

Players and officials are told not to engage with pitch invaders for their own safety and other bobbins in case the invader is carrying a weapon,like a bottle top or a sharpened plastic cup for instance,so I guess that's why you don't see the players intervene,also if they do, they face disciplinary action! With a minimum of a on field yellow card or retrospective red cards and hefty fines WTF! It's mad old world.
Booking, for an innocent shoulder charge? Game's gone.
