[Football] Some people are on the pitch...

[Guinness Boy]

It's all copycat nonsense.

Just like taking coke, singing the "sex offender" song, spending all game doing the "come on then" gesture and then slinking into nowhere outside the ground. It's how one group of yoof see another behaving and copy them. It's also why no teams have any decent original songs any more.

I've no doubt that when you're led by a lawless buffoon and have been in house arrest for much of two years it doesn't really help though

 

[Postman Pat]

I'm praying that Priti Patel doesn't see this as am opportunity to distract people from other issues by doing something stupid.

This does seem to be worse for Cup games, suspect its because for league games there are far more season ticket holders with more to lose.

 

[el punal]

Definitely not a Spurs fan.

Ooh! You rascal, you!

 

[BN9 BHA]

Mental problems I think. Why would anyone attack opposition players for scoring a goal against your team. I would hate all German people if thats the case.

Drinking cheap strong lager and sniffing cocaine since 9am, also a bit thick…..not a good mix.
Leicester fans also were filmed before the match throwing chairs and tables at the windows of a restaurant full of shoppers and families.

 

[Dave the OAP]

Well that's a very quick and easy way to get yourself a jail sentence. I can't help but feel it was a shame that the stewards intervened; just how thick as fúck do you have to be, when you're an absolute lardy with a shit haircut, to single-handedly attack a group of about 8 professional athletes. Say what you like about modern footballers being soft; on average they're a damn sight harder than this pleb here.

Honestly, what do these specialtons think they're going to gain from doing something like this? You can hear the excuses now; "I'm really sorry, I'd had too much to drink and normally I'm an absolutely smashing bloke". Seriously, I've been incredibly pissed at the football on occasion, and the worst I've done is forgotten some of the finer nuances of the offside law. I've never felt the need to assault anyone, on or off the pitch. Maybe I'm just not enough of a LAD.

As many footballers who have found out…if they would have reacted , they would have been booked by the officials. Did you see the pitch invader who ran on at a womens premier league game and one of the defenders took the law in her own hands and barged him over…the ref rushed over and booked her! Pathetic.

It was a foul

Shoulder to shoulder.

 

[el punal]

Yes, but rather than make a cheap political shot better to identify the actual feral elite. In this case it is a game that is out of touch with its supporters. Players, managers, executives; all live in a different world to the rest of us. I am not excusing it in any way. Most of us wouldn’t behave in this way but I can empathize with the disenchantment because all the game cares about is money, a self perpetuating elite if ever there was one.

What? Bad behaviour has nothing to do with what you describe. It’s all to do with booze, substances, being a tw*t, egged on by your mates and finally thinking you’re the dog’s bollocks with your 15 minutes of fame.

It doesn’t just apply to football either. Remember the pissed up Welsh fan running onto the pitch at the Wales v South Africa rugby match - his actions stopped a possible Welsh try and the chance to win the game. He was named and shamed and in the end had to go into hiding for his own safety. That, equally, has nothing to do with players, managers and executives all living in a different world to us.

More likely coke or alcohol induced bravado, plus being goaded into it by a few mates in a similar state……started as a joke…..and then….

‘I’m going to go and deck that Forest ****’
‘Haha, that would be funny, bet you wouldn’t though’

…..etc.

 

[TheJasperCo]

State of the nation. We saw similar in the US when Trump was running things. When rulers break the rules, stupid people follow suit.

Honestly, and as others have said, I don't think this has anything to do with politics. Try as you like to spin this into a political blame-game, really it's a lot simpler. Drunken idiots, high on drugs, looking for fifteen seconds of fame on social media without thinking of the consequences.

Bear in mind, as most people have already suggested on here, these people are idiots. They genuinely would have zero underlying political knowledge or interest. They wouldn't be able to identify the PM (and that's when sober). It's just idiots, idioting. That said, perhaps political leadership is the answer in clamping down on this, by increasing the penalties for running onto the field. Otherwise, who knows where it will end? In tragedy?

 

[Hotchilidog]

An annoying increase in the levels of bellendery at games these days, so flipping depressing, of which the pitch invader is the most visible manifestation. Throw the book at them, idiots.

 

[Springal]

I can't help but feel that by publicising it so much - it encourages it. Sadly there are a lot of 'no hopers' in society and taking the street cred for doing something like this is all they have in their life.

I’m not sure about that. MOTD carefully skipped over it during the highlights last night, touching on it in the post-chat without showing the offender’s face. They can show it when he’s on his way into court instead, and when discussing the merits of his two year jail sentence.

Honestly, anyone who is capable of watching that footage and thinking “haha, that looks like a larf!” wants castrating at the earliest opportunity.

If that’s true then how can I explain away my behaviour BEFORE I had my covid jab?

I’d say it’s more likely him being loaded up with Colombians finest, which seems to be the root cause to a lot of these new incidents

I keep seeing people saying how cheap it is - not sure how they know - but it begs the question, has Truss been opening up Sniff Markets?

 

[Poojah]

Asshatitus?

I think I may have had that since birth.

And yet, you aren't a Palace fan. You should submit yourself for a study
