Will Noble get a retrospective ban for flooring a fan?

Doubt it

Na knowing the FA it’ll be a pitiful fine and a slap on the wrist. Guarantee it.

Exactly, it was so easy to slap a points deduction on a team down the bottom of the Fourth division. They will almost certainly wimp out of one for Premier League WHU.

Different rules when you've won the World Cup, don't you know?

From a pitch invasion perspective, this isn't really that terrible.

A couple of idiots on the pitch, from what I've seen so far.
The FA will make a very public warning to the club that if it happens again there will be a pts deduction.

The fans are more passionate about staying a premier league club.
And I doubt they will do it again, unless they are already relegated.
Then I suspect it will properly kick off.

I get the impression there is two very different things that have happened here- 2 drunken idiots running on the pitch to confront players...happens occasionally, and then mass demo/violence centred around directors box. Might be wrong, but don't think the pitch invasion was the real incident here.

Enjoyed the footage of the hipster pitch invader getting a few hard hits upon his return to the stand, what a knobber.

Was going to suggest that a couple of matches played behind closed doors might be fair. However I think that might actually help the team. Can’t be easy playing at home in the current atmosphere so forget that idea!

Some people on here have very short memories. We had plenty of pitch invasions before the FA took away points.

I’m with the West Ham fans on this one. Have had the soul of their club destroyed for the sake of a cheap deal at a big stadium. Not surprised they expected to see some of this money invested better.

Palace had a scout at the game. They were looking at a potential replacement for Zaha if he moves on.

I haven't followed them that closely, did the fans protest against the stadium move etc?
