Would you feel the same if a town fan did this at BP and we were in the relegation zone? Docking points isn't the way to stop some knuckledragger doing this sort of thing.
Yeah it's a excrement idea really  |

When Grealish scores he went into the Villa fans a Birmingham steward was arrested afterwards for trying to push him back on to the pitch.
As for the tw@t who ran on I just hope someone went to his cell and told him Greilsh scored the winner. He’ll be in court tomorrow and all being well will get what he deserves.
The Grealish goal and celebration were the highlight of the weekend football wise for me. He gets so much crap off other fans, yeah he wasn't a saint in his early years but he's been a top player for Villa the last few seasons and they'd be a lot closer to the autos if they'd had him fit all season this season. His goal against Derby in the match before was a beauty too. Brum fans have always had a larger element of classlessness to their support and booing Grealish off after he's been attacked like that was pretty scummy too. Obviously, I'm talking about a minority here. |

Also similar incident in the Man Utd game wasnt there ? Chris Smalling was pushed/ confronted. They showed a glimpse of it on Match of the Day but Sky and the Premier League will want to snuff the coverage of that out as best they can i am sure.

Disgusting. Hope he gets a massive fine and banned from all football grounds for life.
He should be made to watch Scunny home and away for ten years. |

Shocking behaviour, he’ll spend some time at her majesty’s pleasure and probably never step foot in a football ground ever again and rightly so. Personally I’m never sure punishing the club itself is the best way of dealing with it, whether it’s a fine or a points deduction it just seems like an easy way out for the FA (or football league, whoever will deal with this) and just scapegoats the club. It’s a mindless idiot,what could Birmingham City, the stewards or police have genuinely done to prevent a completely random action that they had no idea was about to happen?
The individual in case, let's not bother calling him a football fan because he isn't, is the one to blame here. No-one else.
This didn't happen because of alcohol or because of poor stewarding, it happened because the individual believes it's acceptable behaviour. That's the problem of society. Not football, not Birmingham City, not the stewards or the police who were in attendance.
The stewards and the police are massively outnumbered at games and it doesn't take a genius to work out that each steward/police officer can't contain up to 100 people each.
The sad thing is that whilst this individual will probably receive a suspended prison term and some community service, the real punishment will be handed to Birmingham City and football fans in general. The next however many second city derbies will be practically locked down.
What happened was deplorable, but will the fall-out mirror the fall-out to what happens every weekend at Horse Racing events throughout the summer? You can compare this to any acts at any public event that take place. Scumbags, unfortunately, attend and it's down to society to make sure the individuals are punished and the message is loud and clear that it won't be tolerated. What doesn't work is punishing the mass innocent parties who attended to watch the spectacle.
Maybe there was little the clubs could have done to avoid what happened Unless you're a Town fan going to an away game of course where you routinely come in for some heavy handed stewarding and policing... Stevenage for example? I didn't go to that notorious away fixture but when we played away at MK last August. it was a warm night, going in to the ground I was dressed in my Town shirt and a pair of jeans... In my pockets I had my wallet, my phone and my glasses case I was told to empty my pockets and to open up the glasses case to make sure I wasn't going to be taking in anything I shouldn't have been  Maybe this was over the top especially as I like to think I'm someone who doesn't give off any vibes of causing trouble. I thought that stewarding was somewhat excessive....on reflection though, maybe the Villa stewards don't have such strict orders to control visiting supporters, even if there's been tension in the past. Not saying that it would have prevented that idiot yesterday from running on the pitch ( or me at MK ) but maybe just being frisked and checked a bit more on the way in might have identified him as a potential risk? |

It was a Birmingham home game and assuming the individual concerned was in the home stand it would be very unlikely that he would have been searched by stewards. In my experience only away supporters are viewed as potential troublemakers

Doh! I should’ve checked the details a bit better as to the venue! |

I think the issue is more about how this bloke is clearly a male private rather than if he came through the home or away end, or indeed what level of security and scrutiny he had to get through before entering the ground.

Birmingham City have form on this kind of thing in games versus Villa, bit historic but rember the Enkleman incident?

Yup, plenty of time all on his own to reflect on his actions 😉 |
| The wife was going away for a girly weekend. I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football'  |
