Pitch Invader

[beddie]

Not really

That’s how it should be in my view, you then have the opportunity to think about the consequences before you run on.

So, should all the kids (and plenty of adults too) who run on the pitch at the end of the season not receive the same?

Only difference here is that they’ve not interrupted the game, by waiting for the final whistle.

If the crime is entering the field of play, it seems harsh that he’s received a life ban whilst others receive no punishment at all.

I’m not against a ban, but a lifetime ban does seem a bit extreme to me.

[NewClaret]

life ban, wow. bit harsh

Exactly how it should be.

So sad that a fan that supports the club enough to turn up on a horrific Friday night has been banned for life, but he must’ve known that’d be the outcome.

Is it still the field of play, once the play has finished?

[morninbob]

Wasn't he already banned?

[The Shire Claret]

Wasn't he already banned?

Absolutley agree it should be a long ban

Wasn’t expecting a lifetime ban

I don’t think it will end up being a lifetime ban either …

New owners - new managers and an apology down the line might suffice

We know that it is a different scenario for the last game of the season. If the club made it extremely clear for the last game that it will not be tolerated as has been the case in the past and very clearly communicated the consequences then that could be different.

I do agree that a lifetime ban is on the harsh side. I’d say that if it is his first offence or first banning order then 5 year ban would be more appropriate. If he has previous as is being rumoured then lifetime ban is fine.

[Rileybobs]

Why should the club risk picking up any fines so that this numpty can come and watch us again?

Agreed - if it’s not a first offence - then lifetime is perhaps more understandable.

I was being slightly tongue in cheek about banning end of season pitch invaders, but I do wonder if the club would have a leg to stand on, if such a decision was challenged, when no action is taken when hundreds do the same thing.

[DCWat]

In that case, every man and his dog can nip on at the final whistle

[dougcollins]

Those were the days, when you got dogs on the pitch.

Tackling players and scoring goals.

[claretdj]

Totally behind the club on this, you can't have fans running on the pitch every time they feel like it. Send out the message now, that lifetime bans will be incurred.

[beddie]

It doesn’t matter whether it is or it isn’t. If the Club make it absolutely crystal clear what the consequences can/ could be if you enter the playing area and perimeter then there’s little argument. Perhaps if they brought in the Police and dragged several off at the end of season game and banned them it might make others think. Unfortunately they spoil it for others.

The club will be fine, it's no defence if you got done for speeding to say others were speeding but weren't prosecuted, same thing with the invader, he got caught,suffer the consequences

I'd be more than happy for some to be apprehended, I was just asking the question.

[Bowclaret]

I would have shot the cretin

[fidelcastro]

Some cracking excuses being made for him, I see.

I'll be surprised if he's even bothered he's got a life ban.

[Conroy92]

Why ? because I find the song is so offensive? and it hurts me to hear it?
Why not just don't sing it!!!!

No because you think the correct outcome is for the offenders to find there own family dead on the carpet. Your blinded anger makes you see justice in an eye for an eye.
I've seen some stuff posted on here but wishing that. Well.

And I don't sing it you clown

[Conroy92]

life ban, wow. bit harsh

Not really. Pureclaret would have had him kissing his family goodbye at the funeral parlour so he got off pretty lightly

[expoultryboy]

I bet you old buggers never complained about Erika Roe's invasion !!
On a serious note , I think the song about Jack Walker is shocking and disgusting . The only thing he did wrong , was not being born in Burnley .

[NottsClaret]

If he was already banned when he went on last week, I don't think a lifetime ban is quite the deterrent it sounds.

Not sure kids running on the pitch at full time on the final home game of the season compares to this idiot running over to the Boro fans to goad them, giving stewards the run around and then resisting when they were trying to escort him away when he’d finally been caught.

If only it was only kids and no goading was taking place. That’s not always the case though.

[jos]

A sniper on the roof might solve this issue.

[Quicknick]

He pays to go, so he's certain to be bothered.

[Den_Perry]

Lucky sod missed last night though so maybe he is a bit smarter than we give him credit for?

[fidelcastro]

He pays to go, so he's certain to be bothered.

He'll save himself a few quid then.

What did he think was going to happen?

[Quickenthetempo]

I'm going down the police station today to hand myself in and accept the punishment of being a pitch invader.

As long as they don't ask me to run to prove it was me, I should get away with it and them believe me.

[IanMcL]

He pays to go, so he's certain to be bothered.

Probably borrowed his mates ticket.

[dougcollins]

I find it hard to believe people are coming on here to defend him.

Three year ban? I thought it was a life ban for going on to the pitch?

We won't miss him.

[fidelcastro]

Isn't that the court punishment only?

The Club can give him a life ban if they choose to, I think.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

I imagine the club could ban him permanently from Burnley games as well?

[basil6345789]

life ban, wow. bit harsh

Wot, banned from invading the pitch?

[Rosehill Claret]

Ah, I get it now. He's been banned from attending football matches for three years by a court, but the club will probably ban him from Turf Moor for life.

[fidelcastro]

Ah, I get it now. He's been banned from attending football matches for three years by a court, but the club will probably ban him from Turf Moor for life.

And they should.

[fidelcastro]

And they should.

Haha. Just read further up the thread that they already had!

[Taffy on the wing]

Bring back streaking ......at least that's funny!
Especially watching the cops trying to tackle them.

[Les Lawrence]

Looks like Byron as earned himself another pie,great work officer

[NottsClaret]

Pitch invasions are definitely on the wane. I don't mean the odd idiot like this lad, but the more general kind. Noticeable that there wasn't one at Plymouth when they beat Liverpool, unthinkable just 10 years ago, the whole crowd would have been on.

The last really good one was probably when Sheff Wednesday turned round that 0-4 play off game against Peterboro. Surely even the biggest curmudgeon couldn't object to that one.

[ClaretinJapan]

These are highly paid professional footballers and a valuable asset to the club. We have enough injuries without a player risking an altercation with an unknown idiot who is most likely under the influence of drugs and / or alcohol. The last thing we want is a player getting involved,and I got the impression that Parker made that point to Hannibal.

Tresor could have made himself useful.

[IanMcL]

Not being allowed on the pitch is for player protection.

Life ban natural penalty.

[beddie]

Is it a ban though? If he wanted to get into the next home game what is there to really stop him, I’m thinking if a mate isn’t going to the game and he uses his ticket/ card etc. I just can’t see these things being fully policed.

[Cheshireclaret]

When the 3 years are up, he'll be like a new signing!

It came up at the fans forum and I think at a FAB meeting. the board want to use facial recognition technology to stop this from happening.

Erika Roe. You are right! No knockers when it comes to streaker Erika. That's entertainment.

No knockers... doesn't sound quite right when I read it back!


Agree re JW song too. Cretins.

[GetIntoEm]

He was at Swansea today.
