They haven’t the energy to run look how many players of winning teams get cramp.
That'll be the asthma drug treatments all the poor lambs have to take...?they all suffer you know....just like team sky cyclists....
Crazy scenes in France, Saint Etienne relegated from Ligue 1, fans invaded the pitch throwing flares at their players and staff

you know You're In A Bad Way when the supporters are throwing flares at your own players.
The French are much better than us at disorder these days
St Etienne fans have an extremely bad reputation anyway but attacking their own players is unbelievable.
That was the one game the red mist descended…. I was in the west terrace and some ginger Leeds fan starting hitting kids at the front. Feck me… I ran across the tops of seats like a nutter to get to him…. Before I knew I was in a full on scuffle. Felt sure I’d be on the front of the Telegraph when the pictures of faces were printed … but I wasn’t. Maybe old bill saw what happened and thought the lad deserved it or maybe I was just lucky, either way it’s never happened since. It would all be over by the time I got to the front these days …..after folding my tartan blanket and passing my humbugs for someone to hold
When i've seen any pitch invasion I think they could be carrying a gun or knife. Before someone says they would not get them in.One game last season set out to go rain started grabbed old coat from the garage dispite frisked coming home hand in pocket Stanley knife.
Having worked in security, you see a lot of people smuggle knives that fold into the shape of a credit card and other smart concealments. It’s actually a surprise we don’t see more violence at football games.
I took a spanner once to Oxford United, when we played them Wayne Turner bagged the winner.
I actually forgot about it (had problems with the car and had been fiddling with it when we parked up for the game) and I didn't realise until we got in the queue for the turnstiles.

I must say it did always give me a spring in my step and I would often change queues to get in position.
Self defence surely, I dont condone those actions at all but they were in possibly danger if they didnt fight back
Mcburnie should be charged. He was stamping on someone who was on the floor. Just because he plays football (allegedly) doesnt exempt him from the law when it comes to violence at games
Obviously he was in the wrong and I never said he shouldnt be charged I just said self defence, who knows what would have happened if he never stood his ground
Was that a screaming volley he scored?. If it was I was at that game it was a great goal.
Well from the video I saw he stood on the fan, not his ground. Anywho, he's been charged with common assault, which explains the EFL charge -

One thing I've not seen either way is about charges against the individuals they allegedly "assaulted", have there been any?
Sheffield United player set for trial over fan assault charge
Oli McBurnie denies attacking a Nottingham Forest fan during a pitch invasion after the Championship semi-final.

Going to trial. Due to start 7th Dec.
One assumes the guy he allegedly beat will have already or will be fined/banned for the pitch invasion. Not like they need to put his pic in the local rag to appeal for more info...
