Pitch invasions and smoke bombs

[davek]

And on that BBC link it opens with Klipety who told his Sewer Rat Fans to travel to France with or without a ticket !!! Yet the article is supposed to be about Safety??

That's the rat manager who scolded Everton fans for invading the pitch...then organised the conditions for the latest Kopite riot in Paris two weeks later.

Sit in your place and do as your told.
They fear us because we are many and they are few.
Screw ‘em it’s our game not theirs.

I don't think it's a big deal really, but there is always that one idiot who spoils it for everyone else, so they were always going to tighten up the rules on pitch invasions. Just don't go on the pitch, it's not that hard.

….was only just thinking looking at the Old Pictures Thread, we seem to be serial pitch invaders going way back. i suspect it’s something to do with us not having much to celebrate.

That thread title is seriously misleading.



Meh

Just read this in the guardian. Goodison was the picture, and Everton the only club mentioned.

Yet again we've single handedly ruined everything ?

So just to be clear:

everyone else doing this = ok.

Doing this and destroying an opposition team bus = ok

Everton doing it = very bad

All the media have been using our footage when talking about this and none of the other dozens of pitch invasions.

All part of the agenda

 

[PKwalnuts]

It is as if they think those with a ban cannot get a ticket or get in.

Good look catching the Northface Ninjas with face coverings on celebrating last minute winners.

Sounds like the name of an Arctic Monkeys album

Anybody caught with a "Can I have your shirt" placard should be given a lifetime ban and deported to Rwanda.

Going to have to stay in my seat on Friday night now

 

[RomanReigns]

What happens then if someone is celebrating a last minute winner and amongst the bedlam they get flung over the hoardings by the crowd surge. Do they get a ban for inadvertently encroaching onto the pitch?

 

[the golden visionary]

How many were on the pitch against Palace and how much bother was there....besides the Palace manager attacking one of our fans?

It was people who were joyous.

Of course, we cant have that...working class football fans expressing natural football emotions...that's the sort of thing the anti-septic corporate bloodsuckers want canned and consigned to history.

They fear hooliganism and sponsors deserting the game. I sometimes think it might be a price worth paying to get this game back where it belongs: affordable and real.

That's not the narrative tho, the media peddled the nonsense that viera was set upon by evertonians so that's what yhe sheep believe

It takes only one jerk to ruin it for everyone, that's the problem. There is something spine-tingling about pitch invasions in a good way, the feelings of euphoria and release of pent-up emotion. Its hard to see how it can be accomodated without the risk of someone just getting carried away with themselves, or worse, even if it's not going to happen in the majority of instances.

I’d rather watch a bloke running about with his todger out, flares akimbo than Doucoure fail to complete his fifteenth five yard pass in a row and Pickford pick the ball out of his net after we’ve decided not to mark anybody above six foot on a corner again if I’m honest. That’s just me though.
