Well yep, if you remember Cyrus Christie getting booked for tripping a fan who came on the pitch. Players can't take the law into their own hands.Everyone involved in this is a bellend. The people running on the pitch and the keeper.
Really? He tripped him over because he was in his face going at him. How wad the goalie to know what the fan was going to do?Nonsense. Your rationale would excuse any assault.

People are acting like the keeper has run up and whacked him in the back of the head for no reason.
Why's the keeper a bell end? He did what anyone would do. Doesn't make it right but he didn't batter the lad, throw 5 extra digs, he just threw him down. I thought that was fair. The only reason I would call him a bell end was because he was time wasting loads.

Exactly, if not saying he should have done more.And if RCC would have done it to an opposition pitch invader the same people would have been patting him on the back
Wasn't really a body slam.Body slam to an away fan. Bet he loved it.

Just a thought but...are fans allowed to perform a citizens arrest on a player if they over celebrate near them?
Back to topic
.. Good passion...bit silly these days but chill out folks... No harm done...
No it isn't. However, the goalkeeper floored the person because he felt at threat by him. If he did it purely because of the pitch invasion then he would have attempted to sort the others out too but he never. If the goalkeeper was questioned about this he would probably say he was threatened by the person and had to act. What's stopping a football fan saying he felt threatened by a football players over celebration and acted for his safety?Is that an arrestable offence like going on the pitch is?
No but inciting is.Is that an arrestable offence like going on the pitch is?

Not defending him but he was picked up and slammed to the floor from the film I saw youtube.He felt at threat because he was on the pitch. If he hadn't gone on the pitch he wouldn't have been tripped over.
He was tripped up, he wasn't punched.

Could have done him some real harm.
Then it would have been a different thread.

It wouldn't have done him any harm if he hadn't run onto the pitch and given the goalkeeper loads.
These are the types who give it loads to bouncers in clubs and give it the big one after a beer to the bouncers to show off to their mates, knowing the bouncers can't really give them a smack.
As soon as the bouncers grab them or carry them out they are shouting assault and crying like a little girl.
I'm not that old, but when I first started going out if you gave it loads to a bouncer you had to back it up.
Think he needs to man up a little bit, he ran on the pitch and got in somebodies face and he ended up on the floor. If he did that to a man in the street or a pub then he could probably expect worse. He probably wouldn't have gone up to a stranger in a pub and done that though.
Can't argue with that helped out on the doors now and again back in the day.

If you accidentally killed someone whilst driving after a drink...that would excusable too would it?That being said though, we've all had a few beers before and I've accidentally been on the pitch at Bramall Lane.
Noooo...the law turn a blind eye to that sort of thing & let the football authorities ignore it - I mean deal with it.Just a thought but...are fans allowed to perform a citizens arrest on a player if they over celebrate near them?
The beer is the same...if beer results in lawlessness...you get punished!Not sure running on the pitch and killing someone are quite the same thing.
What about having fit women officials and every time they make a mistake they have to take an item of clothing off?The only ones that should be on the pitch during a game are the 22 players and officials. And women streakers if they are fit
Behave.
There are some softies on here, the lad was on the pitch in his face, touching him. The keeper didn't know if he was going to get stabbed, punched.
The way people act is that the goalie was pummeling him.
The only thing this thread needed was the old what if someone had knife scenario. Now you covered it Nick you may as well close the thread. Some are outraged, some ain't arsed. Leave it there.
