A minority of Fans running onto pitches not interested in celebrating just focussed on trouble.
Multiple examples this week which is really worrying!!
Absolute f**king idiots!!!
No place for any of these people in a football ground or society in my opinion.

May 20, 2022 at 1:36 am #237584Or a society, get a grip. Some of these people may be clowns, idiots, hooligans. To say they aren’t welcome in society is grossly dramatic. Most will be alcohol fuelled or worse, but maybe some are going through a few issues & act erratically, out of character. Choose your words carefully.
May 20, 2022 at 6:34 am #237585Anyone that thinks its acceptable to run up and headbutt somebody for absolutely no reason whatsoever has no place in a civilised society in my opinion, alcohol fuelled or not!

May 20, 2022 at 8:51 am #237588Reflection of what’s going on in society?
The previous nadir was during the 80s. Go figure!
May 20, 2022 at 9:05 am #237589Choosing my words carefully: no room for these louts in football or society. Grossly dramatic? Not as grossly dramatic as attacking players and other club officials.

Topics: 11I’m glad we employed a security company who wouldn’t allow pitch invasions. Credit to SUFC for limiting numbers on pitch to about half a dozen in last couple of games.
This week has shown what can happen if you mollycoddle pricks.
May 20, 2022 at 9:21 am #237595They’re there to stop pitch invasions not act like a guerrilla faction fighting fire with fire. There are ways of crowd controlling and some of those security overstepped their remit, in my opinion. No room for them at the club or in society either.

May 20, 2022 at 9:38 am #237597The example is set by people at the very top. Boris Johnson hang your fat head in shame but of course he doesn’t do shame or honesty. Down the shit pan we go.

Hey guys. This looks opportunistic to me. There’s no ‘non football’ now so I’d best be brief. I think these statements are superficial and simplistic … at the risk of offending , maybe even cheap shots. My analysis is that we are increasingly moving towards a society where words like shame and honesty are devoid of meaning. Good and bad, right and wrong imply an ideal … and we are starting to feel the impact of the erosion of Judaea- Christian foundations and man’s attempts to generate his own morality. Rising suicide, multiple gender possibilities .. ‘cake’ the latest I see … epidemics of anorexia/bulimia, the concept of marriage gutted, addictions proliferating. No wonder drink and drug fuelled individuals who have never been encouraged to grow character … who have never been told that there is a character to grow … will manifest the type of behaviour we are seeing. We have sown the wind … now we reap the whirlwind. Praying for a re-calibration of society for the health and good of all. It may well affect the ballot box .. but sure as hell won’t begin there.

Are you also glad SUFC employs a security company that assaults fans and wonder why they kick off?
The only pricks are the ones that think they can treat people how they want and take the law into their own hands just because they have a hi-vis on!

Topics: 11Do you have any proof of this assault occurring Pat? If so I’d hope the police are dealing with the matter.
There is a thing called reasonable force which needs to applied, especially when there’s a focus on people being under influence of drink/drugs.
I don’t understand why when people step into a football stadium they expect to be treated lightly if they act like a prick (employees too).
May 20, 2022 at 12:02 pm #237604I’m glad that thug that assaulted Sharp got a 2 year sentence. I don’t want violent t***’s like that at football or elsewhere. Couldn’t give a toss if he was under the influence of whatever, or has other issues. Absolutely no excuse for it and hopefully a tough sentence might just deter similar incidents in future.
Not getting in to religion and politics about this on here JI. Though I found it amusing that you say this isn’t the place for it either, then proceed to an essay introduction!

No I don’t have proof I just thought I would make it up for a laugh!!! I was there and I know what I saw & heard, the lad was stood at the wall with his hands on the wall/gate, fair enough he shouldn’t have been stood where he was, but that is no excuse for the guy to shove him what did he think his response was going to be??? and then in the ensuing mele he also called the fan a fat C U Next Tueusday!!! Totally out of order and unacceptable for a guy supposed to be there for crowd safety! You can’t act like that and then play the victim when somebody kicks off back at you.

May 20, 2022 at 2:49 pm #237611I’m glad that thug that assaulted Sharp got a 2 year sentence.
Unfortunately it was only six months, he was clever and pleaded guilty.
May 20, 2022 at 2:52 pm #237612What concerns me the most is the fact that the so called ‘fans’ are attacking players. Back in the 70”s and 80’s I remember running on the pitch, as a kid, and not worrying about any danger. Yes some fans would fight each other, but by and large they left the players and the kids alone.
In my opinion the current situation is worse than back in the day, and the police need to get a handle on it, and quick.

It’s why we need non football back JI, it’s hard to be too detailed when you will get shot at for taking a view not wholly dedicated to football and it was a simplistic view on a huge problem facing society. I will just say leaders should lead in a correct reasonable way then hopefully others will follow. Come on SST you said non football was coming back so give us a reason why not yet please.

May 20, 2022 at 5:17 pm #237621Surely we will have to wait until August to have some non football to talk about.

May 21, 2022 at 8:13 pm #237655When people at the top do what the hell they want to it’s no surprise Joe Public thinks he can do the same.
And that’s not restricted to politics or religion.
