Blackburn Fans on the pitch

[Healeywoodclaret]

I'd like to see all punishments based on what could have actually happened. Be more fun that way.

Caught speeding at 33mph. Could have been doing 100mph etc etc

Maximum sentence for going on the pitch and grabbing a player by the neck. Clearly a harsher sentence for stabbing someone. Is that too difficult to understand?

By that logic the Burnley fan who threw a flare could have thrown a grenade.

Maximum possible sentence for that too. Harsher if it was a grenade.

I wouldn't jail him.

I would make him work off his debt to society.

400 hours of community service and a 3 year ban.

Oh and I would make him do his community service in Burnley. Seems only right that he gives us something back.

Wasn't at the game so some of this maybe incorrect.

I've seen twitter photos and seen comments that some of the police were armed. Not sure why, were there any please sniffer dogs trying to find flares / pyros?

Before the Middlesbrough away game last season there was clear communication from the police up there that there would dogs sniffing out flares / pyros. You would think that would deter the idiots who deem it necessary to bring these to football matches. At PNE in the championship season there were dogs outside, I'm assuming there were looking for these too.

He was there to protect the police horses.
