I think most of us know that and wouldn't do it I was being factious.......
Just pointing out banning orders are enforced by police and stewards. Remember West Midlands Police cover various venues and sometime out of force areas and officers are used from across the force not just local. So those transient officers take their local knowledge with them. Some Leicester fans thought they'd be okay going to Hinkley matches....saw in the paper they got done a few years back.
So before anybody decides to protest....don't fall foul of a banning order.
It is why I posted against throwing tennis balls on the pitch at Arsenal....they could interpreted as missiles....and you could pick up a banning order potentially.
Why on earth would you throw that out there? Just because you hope that you can have a go at him for being shit because he doesn't agree with your view? No, this one is just a Nazi. But even if he was that guy, does it make any difference to what he did or how he should be punished?
Yes, remember that poor soldier. Better ban all Muslims from the street. Do you seriously believe this stuff?
Also, what if a supporter brings a sniper rifle in and shoots the players from the stands? I think we'd better get onto the FA to make all games behind closed doors just in case.
Happened at Swindon earlier this season, didn't it?
Reading some of the crap on here makes me laugh, the guy did wrong, give him a year or two ban but thats it. At least he had the balls to do it as opposed to those who sit behind a keyboard and berate those that are standing up for what they believe. Also the next fan to run on the pitch, can you please where a stripe suit and a bowler hat so as not to have a sitgmata with being a hooligan or a nazi.
Clearly not, I was talking about a pitch invader stabbing a player? But you just make stuff up and then the other chuckle brother can come on and misread something else and you can ruin a few threads.
Or punching them....

So where does it say in this quote you are on about stabbing them....
Oh I apolagise didn't see it :thinking about:

Was this guy the one abusing city fans at sixfields calling them scabs?
Another thing, what would the opinion be if for instance a pitch invader stabs a player? Bit random,but these things can happen out of the blue, remember that poor soldier.
People are banned from going on the pitch, he went on the pitch...End of story? He should be punished fairly and get the average ban that other people from around the country get, nothing to do with his shirt.
The Club's punishment to this guy is completely separate to the fact he committed a criminal act, thats for the police and courts to deal with, weather or not they have acted spitefully we will never know though they have chosen the highest penalty they could give for what was one of the least aggressive pitch invasions I've ever seen.
The fact it's a criminal act is kinda ridiculous to be honest, it does seem like it's big money talking in making something illegal that never would be otherwise. Though it is possible I'm being harsh there and its down to wanting safer grounds due to bad things happening in the past.
It's very likely he will receive just a slap on the wrist from the courts, or a small fine, he was standing up for what he believes in when passions are running high and there was no malice or threatening behaviour, seems to be in these cases the courts are normally lenient.
He absolutely did deserve a ban and he absolutely should have expected a ban, the punishment is stupidly harsh though, we have a drugs cheat playing for us (admittedly not a particularly serious drugs cheat), we had marlon playing for us, the fact that Lee hughes etc can not only watch football games but play in them at a high level makes a mockery of a lifetime ban (and I realise this is indefinite which isn't quite the same thing) for running onto the pitch and putting no one in any danger and leaving peacefully.
A small fine from the courts, half a weeks wages or something and an 18 month ban would have been more than punishment enough to discourage others, punishing disrupting the game and for the club to show the fa they are acting so the club dont get punished.
It's very sad to see though this seems to once again be down party lines, so little objectivity around at the moment.
I'm sure his legal representative will point out he didn't run away didn't resist didn't attack anyone it was a visual protest. Thousands of fans were protesting. "It is a very complex and emotional situation at Coventry for the fans. He now realises something that he chose to do on the spur of the moment was an error of judgement." Hopefully he has no other football related offences and can evidence good character.
Don't run on the pitch. It's not that difficult to understand, is it?

That's not it mrbluesky87, if I smash the window's of someone's house those residents would want me to feel the full extent of the law for breaking it, how is what Alan did any different? The FA will want to make sure that Alan is punished to the extent of the law, pitch invaders are a lottery you have the type like Alan who make a scene or you have the type who punch Goalkeepers in the face, as you never know which one is coming, all must be banned with the same ban to prevent it happening again.
END
Is it illegal to go onto the pictch? And what do other clubs do when fans go onto the pitch? Are they all let off with a ruffle of the hair and a "Tut! Boys will be boys"? If so, you have a valid point.
How many of us received a ban for going on the pitch when we played derby at highfield road in 2005?
It certainly is to me.It's irrelevant.
Crap yet again. If im in a 40 mph limit and I get done for speeding at 46mph and at the same time someone drives by at 90mph are you suggesting we both get exactly the same punishment for speeding????
Please, 1 to 2 years is more than enough. The thing with the justice system is that every case is heard individually hence why not all get the same punishment.

Firstly Noggin I edited your post for you, secondly maybe ask Chris Kirkland how he feels about pitch invaders.
It wasn't me...........
But I did it most seasons when we survived relegation on the last game.
To be fair they were different times and different situations.
But you still see that going on every season some where in the country so yes if it illegal ban them all
If the law states that it is a criminal offence and as such the offender can be given a lifelong ban, then the courts can and probably will enforce it.
