Viking Chat / Re: Grant McCann 2 game touchline ban
« Last post by Ian Nimmo on Today at 10:25:14 am »
There is definitely double standards.
McCann gets a yellow for leaving his technical area, yet Arteta spends most of every game outside of the technical area. All too often he is way outside and often on the actual line which clearly must be seen by the 4th official, yet rarely challenged let alone any card being given.

Not condoning anyone running on the pitch and they should never have gone to the opposition, our players to celebrate perhaps.

However, you have to look at the context. It was one of the biggest moments in our history, look how the game played out, consider what fans have been through for the past 3 years or so and the unreal winning streak that we somehow maintained you can see why some were over excited and did something they shouldn't.

Players getting a yellow card for celebrating with their shirt off with the crowd while not the same is similar.

Footy is emotional. And yes some fans stepped too far. But let's not forget the delirium on Saturday.

Keep it in context then. It wasn’t “one of the biggest moments in our history”, it was a fantastic comeback ensuring we remain on track for the play offs.

No excuse for invading the pitch. Some on there looked about 14 years old, what ‘history’ do they have of the club.

What you fail to see, is that if fans entering the pitch is condoned, then what happens when someone does assault a player, regardless of the reason for the incursion?

An assault can happen anywhere, if someone takes it upon themselves to assault someone on a pitch where there’s hundreds of cameras, they’ll get dealt with accordingly and rightly so. The truth is nobody got assaulted It’s a total over reaction by people who if they weren’t getting upset by this would be getting upset by something else.

I never said anyone did get assaulted.  The laws are there to prevent such a thing happening.  Of course they would get picked up by cameras, but prevention is better surely, especially for the individuals assaulted.??
No you didn’t say that to be fair, a lot of people are saying that though. I understand you’ve got to have a deterrent and if people went on the pitch and confronted their players or tried to get to the away fans ban them but personally I would be looking to ban kids for over exuberance.
If I was Barrow, I really wouldn’t push this, as if they do I think their keeper could be in very hot water.

Seemed a shame for Hartlepool to miss out on a mention, doesn't matter which game always the same up there!  I do remember driving to a night game with snow though.


Also a mention for Grimsby in Jpt that went to pens , wind rain almost hori

I wasn't able to find the highlights on Youtube but I seem to remember Ben Smith kicking the ball and it flying back into our goal (either directly or to their player).
We outnumbered the home fans that night, I remember the Stewards being under prepared.

If wrexham take our stance that all should be banned then they wont be selling many tickets next year.

https://youtu.be/sN8v3sSU98Y?si=XMnVF5PrtCe2Rww_

Why was our fans pitch incursion deemed more threating??? It was over after a minute.



Where has that been said, Thorney?

Just the feeling im getting by the reactions i have seen from social media.
Personally im not one for pitch invasions whatever the situation whether thats a win to survive relagation, a win to gain promotion or in our case, a goal to keep playoff hopes alive after a dismal 3 years.

But should we look to ban all the ppl that entered the field? Or pin point anyone who approched a player whether it was a drfc or Bafc player? There would of been some young kids in there that ran on out of excitment and straight back off again without needs for restraint. Do we ban those also. 





I don’t know, but I think they would go for the main antagonists, the ones who maybe were threatening, or trying to fight stewards (if that happened?) and especially the adults who should have more responsibility.??

Separate incidents don't mitigate each other. Just because their subs ran on the pitch etc...makes no difference.

Post match invasions are one thing, but during a game is another when considering player safety etc. The club has to be seen to be complying with the law and taking appropriate action against those who deliberately transgressed and they will. There is no defence or justification for running on the pitch during the game. End of.

Surely all pitch invasions should be treated the same? Whether it be during or after the final whistle.

What is the difference between 50 people on the pitch for 1 minute after a late goal to win an important game and 5000 people running onto the pitch soon as the final whistle is blown when their is still 22 players on the pitch?
EFL should treat every incident the same shouldnt they
