not any of the celtic fans i saw the game with in an irish pub up archway last night. they were all cheering the guy and saying along the lines of "he'll never have to buy a pint again as long as he lives".
come one, the guy was probably just bevvied and his high spirits got the better of him in the heat of the moment.
i'm no big football fan but that was a top game and that boy running onto the pitch, followed by Dildo's fanny fall was the icing on the cake as far as me and everyone else in the pub was concerned.
PS: LOL at the refernces to the fan 'being let onto the pitch' like he was a lion in some Roman amphitheatre or something.

but noone attacked a player.
one high-spirited celtic fan ran on and did that 'tapping someone on the shoulder then they look round and you're on the other side' thing folk used to do at school, especially to someone who'd played in goal and let a load of balls in in.
for a laugh.

Och, everyone does a few daft things when they've had a few drinks that they later regret. Sure you have mate.
No need for the boy to be hung, drawn and quartered for what was just a wee heat-of-the-moment joke.

You're missing the point. If it becomes OK for this pisshead to come on the pitch and give a player a 'friendly' slap as a 'joke', then you can hardly complain if lots more people decide to join in the fun and we end up with the fucking fencing back in place.chico enrico said:
And, no, no matter how pissed and excited I've been at football, it's never crossed my mind to run on the pitch and attack/slap/pat any players from the other team.
We're all supposed to be beyond that kind of thing now.

I don't think he meant to hurt the guy either, but if you're stupid enough to run on the pitch like that, you can't complain if you get banned.Deareg said:
If that goalie hadn't been such a shit actor and instead gone down when he was touched and made it look convincing, Celtic could have been kicked out of the competition.
Of course some of us have done silly things at football, but you accept the consequences. Going on the pitch in a high profile game like that, regardless of your intention, is likely to result in a ban at the very least.
The fact that this lad's actions have overshadowed Celtc's result is hilarious.

There is a poll...
Yeah he went on the pitch because he got carried away actually being at the game and seeing Celtic score a very important goal.
Ban him for a few games or the season even if you have to be seen to do the right thing. Is it an automatic life ban to go on the pitch ? If it is I'll shut up.
If it isn't banning the bloke for life is pathetic and will no doubt be a decision made by middle class suits who wouldn't fraternise with the likes of working class pricks who can't control themselves thus overshadowing a fab victory at the footy .. leave it aht!!

We buy tickets for footie knowing full well it's not on to go on the pitch (unless it's the last game of the season, at home). We also know that an incident like last night can lead to points deducted or being chucked out of a competition.
It's nothing to do with suits/middle class/prawn cocktails.

Think the point is, if he gets off with it lightly whats to stop someone else doing it - possibly with the same (seemingly) innocent intentions but who happens to make more contact with the player. The consequences in those circumstances are quite serious.
Nice patronisation of both 'middle class suits' and 'working class pricks who cant control themselves' btw.
The guy had to be used as an example. simple. a deterrent to other would be 'working class pricks who can't control themselves'
