chrisp65 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 crazy crowd scenes at Old Trafford there, the camera pans across the crowd and one two people are having a chat, one guy is yawning and an old bloke is having something to eat I'll stick with Villa Park thanks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Lions_Roar Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 There's a video come out that shows James Morison tripping up a fan as he runs onto the pitch and past him. Actually quite funny but what if the fan reacted? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAVe80 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Just been talking to a guy at my work (who is mates with James Morrison, and is a Newcastle fan), and was in the Albion end. He said, he didn't really see the issue with running on the pitch, but agreed it was madness in their end. He said all he could hear was people kicking seats out, and they had to cover their heads, to make sure they didn't get hit themselves. He said you could feel the atmosphere, as soon as he pulled up and parked at One Stop. Agreed the kick off time had a lot to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 10, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted March 10, 2015 Football Weekly played it down as well. Some sense out there at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) So it's basically the BBC, The Torygraph and P3te. Each to their own, moving on then. Edit - also interesting to hear Luke admit to being on Fratton Park a few times. I wonder if the police were listening (lol).

Eames Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Thought the Ramble and Football weekly had it right. Not ideal but not too much to get worked up about. Particularly when it is so roundly condoned in early rounds at "lesser" clubs. In terms of what happened its a perfect storm of shit really. 2nd local derby in a week + late pm kick off on a saturday + horrendous 5 years of shite +inadequate stwearding + ridiculous crowd placement = pitch invasion. Personally, I blame the clearing in the woods with a dildo on his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villanun Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 After checking out a few response threads in newspaper forums, it's heartening to see that the vast majority of commenters - from a wide variety of fanbases, I might add - can't see what all the fuss is about. I quite agree with Pearce and Lawrenson - it was embarrassing and disgraceful, and hopefully the BBC will make sure it never happens again by firing them.

So with Mcmanaman barging into fans who are just running past him, and Morrison tripping another fan up who was just running past them, yet the fans are a disgrace ? Seems to me like the WBA players are trying to provoke them, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
