Might sound boring but, pitch invasions are one of the things I hate most currently in football. Who wants to see a bunch of drunk middle aged men or hyped up teenagers mobbing the players who we all actually want to see enjoying the moment they have had, together with the whole stadium? It all carried on up Gloucester Road all night anyway, do all the other stuff then? For what it's worth, I'd think if a points deduction is suggested the club might receive a suspended deduction initially to try deter from further incidents. I wouldn't mind seeing this dished out more often, hopefully that would get the message across more strongly. It was the Stone Island eighteen year olds who were the problem. The "drunk middle aged men" actually went to the front to force the idiots back on to the terrace and deter further issues. They actually did a better job of stewarding than the stewards who were utterly ineffective. |

Absolutely. But first word is the key one, if. Keeper may well have copped an unfortunate one, but was it a targeted punch or did a fan try jumping on him etc… The importance of establishing facts n all that. Targeted punch or accident is irrelevant as no one should have been on the pitch. At the very least no one should have been near their players. 'If' he was punched, clipped, blown over then we should be thankful he came back on the pitch. Could have refused Not suggesting Keith Hill or the Scunthorpe players would do it, but you wouldnt put it past another team,manager, player to milk the incident and who knows what the ref may have done |

Absolutely nothing to see here.... Classic bit of sensationalism. Of course Rovers will be reported to the FA every pitch invasion gets reported to the FA .. Any fans in same situation ( not sure anyone has ever been in that situation) would of done exactly the same.
If it is proved the keeper was assaulted the perpetrator needs to be banned for life.
Will be a fine from the FA at the very most .

Of course they pitch invasion will be reported by the referee as will the alleged assault of their keeper.
A small fine might indeed follow as that was clear for all to see.
However the keeper incident may well be more difficult to establish and prove.
Considering the circumstances of when the invasion took place and not condoning it, I feel the efl will take those circumstances into account.
Nothing to fear here, as with all the allegations of Scunthorpe fielding a youth team.

First of all we need to find the prick that punched him if that happened and I don't doubt it did, there must be video evidence out there, ban him for life and let him pay compensation to their goalie, also get video evidence of as many fans as possible who came onto the pitch and let them pay the fine.

The true fans did not encroach. Wonder how many that did invade go every week? Make no mistake this needs to be stopped. Just imagine if Northampton had scored a very late goal, could the team have raised themselves one more time? If there was no stoppage think we may have scored another anyway. Stop trying to brush it away. These people need to be found and punished. |

Last time a player was assaulted after a pitch invasion the perpetrator was jailed for 14 weeks, FA are getting stricter on pitch invasions, I think West Ham were fined 100,00 so could be looking at a heavy fine. Thing is it doesn't look good on our club, I think it will be very difficult to give out a points deduction, especially after creating footballing history and the play offs being only a week away, hopefully what ever happens it will be sorted soon, so we can concentrate on a promotion push next season In league one. |

I think some definitely get caught in the moment and go on, but it's obvious there are a number (at any club) that decide they are going to go on the pitch just because it's 'cool', like throwing beer in the air when England score or whatever bollocks that is en vougue next |

This thread is hilarious.
Whilst not condoning those than ran on when the seventh goal went in, can all those who are sat at home 'worried' about the consequences please list all the teams have had a points deduction for an end of season pitch invasion over the last 5 years??

Problems are: it wasn't at the end of the match; it was the second week running; and the goalie was assaulted. Onwards and upwards

Fine a final warning plus first home fixture behind close doors
Worse case points deducted and no promotion or points deducted for next season
Told to Replay match
Hope Joe Barton reputation as peace maker in addressing the crowd will help the situation

I believe that the majority of us recognise that there will be consequences as a result of the pitch invasion, even more so if the young Scunthorpe goalkeeper was assaulted. No one can rightfully condone or seek to minimise the actions of a minority of supporters. If Gas had been on the receiving end of such actions and our keeper been assaulted, we would rightly be screaming for action by the FA. Scunthorpe fielded a very young team. There were understandable concerns regarding the players safety. There are also reports of concerns that Gas had "an unfair advantage" by knowing the result at Barrow when the game was resumed. A truly memorable day in the history of BRFC. It's unfortunate that others may remember it for other reasons. I have seen in a few places (other forums)that our fans new exactly what they were doing and ran on the pitch so we would know the Northampton result and then know if we needed another goal or not.What a total load of horseshit,it was pure jubilation and I bet not 1 of the idiots had that thought in their heads. |

He was well out of order suggesting it and Colin jumped straight on that thankfully. |
