Celtic v Milan incident

[rorymac]

I told you I understood the patronisation bit ! And now I understand that you are saying that to stop anyone running on a pitch again, this bloke has to be made an example of, by making him an outcast at the thing he clearly loves probably lots more than the suits do for the rest of his life. I hope he doesn't really give a fuck but he's probably devastated.
He lost control and went on the pitch and gave the keeper a fucking funny playful pat on the cheek .. it was totally lacking in malice.
The point is not that he went on the pitch .. it's that he lost control. You have to be amazingly lucky if you think you might never lose control ever in your life to come.
Banning him for his life will not stop anyone else doing this again fucking obviously .. well it fucking quite plainly and categorically will have no bearing in the mind of the next 'prick who can't control himself'.

First Rivaldo and now Dida, is this what they teach in Brazillian school of football?

What a little shit, no excuses for the fan either but to go down like that just shows why football is such a shit sport these days. None of the players have any balls or common sense.

I disagree it's more severe because it falls down to the club not controlling it's supporters, which is precisely why UEFA banned Inter. I can't see how they'll come to any other conclusion with this especailly after Celtic were warned after trouble last time. Whether or not AC complain is also irrelevant as this is UEFA's preimer competiton and once they handed Inter that ban they set the precedent for all other fan incidents.

So any time a fan gets on the pitch the club should be handed the same punishment as Inter?

of course not, cause Inter fanshad been throwing shit en masse, it was a hail of flares and coins that rained down in that game.

But they do know how to go down, clearly. Where's my mobile...

I thought the keepers reaction was hilarious. Clearly indicative of his respect for the powers that be... 'If I make a meal of it, they'll come down HARD...'

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. Ok the fan shouldn't have gone on the pitch but the goalie's reaction was totally OTT, what a wanker imo

 

[Harold Hill]

a life time ban my fucking arse, what knee jerk bollox, we allow murderers and rapists a second chance but not eejit running onto the pitch with no intention of hurting anyone?

ban him for a year or something but a life ban is bollox.

anyway,

Amen to that.

 

[editor]

What a stupid post. Think it through before you get so simplistic and label someone who actually did fuckall wrong with no malice a prick. It's attitudes like yours that are prick like in this context IMO.

Yeah! Let's invite all the crowd to go on the pitch while the game is still going on, if that's what they fancy doing!

And if they want to go up and give players a 'playful slap' or two while they're running around the field - what's wrong with that?!!

You seem to be very "inside the (six yard) box" on this one ed. You must have stood next to fellows at matches over the seasons, that reacted to developments over 90 mins, in an interesting fashion (big cunts pissing down my leg on the Pop Side was always a favourite of mine at the Baseball Ground).

I remember the last match at the BBG when we lost 3-1 to Arsenal, some daft bugger ran up to Seaman (we'd been singing England's Number 1 all day, Charlie George was there, it was all lovely) Seaman feigned to fight him fists up 'aving a laugh, and the chap shook his hand it was all marvellous.

He was escorted from the ground of course but not banned for life.

And we all ran on the pitch and dug turf up at the end too despite the "respect the BBG" shite the club said; and the Rams fans and the Gunners who were forced to stay that day had a good old banter.

Bollocks to Celtic and bugger it, the bloke was a bladdered lad and fucked about on the neet, he didn't stab anyone, he didn't attack the 'keeper he took the piss a bit, and if that is a crime then none of us can go to a match again 'cos half the fun is taking the piss, unless you're a "main stander" and bollocks to them.

I take the piss at footie like the rest of them, and my team have a crowd that is angrier, lairier and stroppier than most, but running on the pitch and slapping the opposition's players just ain't on.

You know that.

he didn't slap him and anyway that isn't the issue, the issue is the knee jerk and incredibly patronising response of 'ban him for life otherwise all the other children who know no better will do it'.

Wanking on about passion and giving nostalgic winks back to past terrace culture whilst shitting a brick when one eejit gets pisssed and makes a fanny of Dida (actually Dida made a tit of himself) is just wankerish. At the end of the day these kind of events are always going to happen every now and then, to treat them as the end of the world and ape the most hysterical 'but what if he had a knife' lines of argument is pathetic, we might as well ban fans full stop cause one of them might have a fucking AK 47. It's the same castrated attitude that see's players booked for jumping into their own fans because 'one of them could kill him in the face'.

Most of that is gibberish I'm afraid, but I'm assuming you're trying to say that pissed fans should be free to get up on the pitch, have a little trot about and deliver playful slaps to players whenever the mood takes them, and not be banned, yes?

Or are you saying we should make an exception for this one drunken twat because, err, um... why exactly?

Oh, and he most certainly made some contact, even if that cheating wanker Dida made a half baked meal of it.

It's the same castrated attitude that see's players booked for jumping into their own fans because 'one of them could kill him in the face'.

*at editor*

I've been scared for my life at matches over the years, I know that.

You know what I'm on about, it was only 20 years ago, you were there.

What happened at Park Heed last night was a cake-walk compared to the 80s.

Anyway I've just got back from the late bar, I'm drunk and I'm going all Worzel Gummidge so I'll finish with this; that was a precedent I'm uncomfortable with, we're not penned in now here in Britain for a reason, we can be trusted.

We've come a million miles in a few years man, it's, as himself had it, quite remarkable.

 

[revol68]

no my argument was that he shouldn't be banned for life and alot of the discussion of the incident has been hysterical bollox. I mean the whole argument of 'well what if he had a knife' is just bonkers, if someone wants to stab a player he'll get on the pitch, or do you think they are planning a stabbing but then think 'actually , fuck that, if i go on the pitch i'll be banned for life'?

Sure, but I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here.

What happened at Celtic was nothing compared to what used to go on, but isn't that a good thing that we don't have drunken twats running all over the pitch any more?

If you want to hark back to those days, don't forget the fences that followed pretty damn quickly as a result of pitch invasions. Do you want to see them again?

 

[Flashman]

As I said, we're not penned in now here in Britain for a reason, we can be trusted.

It's not harking back, the fellow is an anomaly. That's the point.

It's a fine line between passion and ferocity, but there is a line and I don't think it was crossed with that incident personally.

 

[Flashman]

Revol it's about time you gave the Theatre of Dreams the chance to ban you, buy a ticket ffs.

[N_igma]

LEAVE DIDA ALONE!

 

[pagan]

Certainly puts paid to the self-appointed Greatest Fans in the World myth!

 

[Flashman]

Nah they have their fair share of cunts like any other club.

 

[43mhz]

Well they were taking the piss out of Dida on Italian TV last night.. Striscia La Notizia.. very popular current affairs/comedy prog.. they caught him in a car in Milan and were trying to hand him a joke award for his theatrics.. he was most sheepish.. very funny..

 

[chico enrico]

Exactly! Good to hear some common sense at last. Put the democratisation back into football!

It's all just a bit of fun.

Come on, it's not as if anyone got a 'life-ban' from Glastonbury for jumping on the stage during Iggy Pop's set, is it?

Err.. they were invited onstage!

And it's hardly a valid comparison, is it?

What? Nonsense. Were you in Seville? Have you travelled with the Hoops? Come to that, have you ever been to Paradise?

One twat runs on the pitch and you write that? Bizarre!

 

[STFC]

Or are you saying we should make an exception for this one drunken twat because, err, um... why exactly?

Simple - because he's a 'Celtc' fan.

 

[Relahni]

He's been banned for life and he's up before a judge soon.

Dida is on a life support machine, it's touch and go, let's all hope he pulls through his ordeal. Oh and UEFA are investigating his antics.

Celtic will get a fine, I'd like them to sue that fan tbh. Don't see why other Celtic fans money will go to UEFA because of some muppet running on the pitch.

Halfwit City !

lightsoutlondon ..

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.

There are no better or worse than any other fans. Some seem slightly more self obsessed in the Leeds/Newcastle bracket if they believe their own hype though.
