I must have missed that...



Pathetic

 

[Trypsin-1]

What's pathetic? The fans or the charge?

Disgusting hypocrisy from the FA who express all these concerns over Poland and Ukraine's fans when the only misbehaving fans have come from other countries, including our own, yet they still contest this

A handful of excited fans jumped over the advertising hoardings, hardly an "attempted pitch invasion"

The UEFA match delegate described the England fans' behaviour as "satisfactory"

I'm with you on this welly!

 

[Simon21-LUFC]

Absolute disgrace. "Attempted pitch invasion" my arse, they're trying to completely sterilise football, and yet Croatia only get fined £20,000 for throwing bananas and monkey chants.

 

[Pint of Skotch]

UEFA yet again showing their true colours. The proceedings are laughable: an "attempted" pitch invasion - so nothing actually happened then?

Blatter and Platini, pair of ****s...

And the British wonder why everyone hates us UEFA don't have an agenda, I too disagree with all the fans punishments but the hypocrisy of most of us is depressing, most of the public would probably be frothing at the mouth if this was Polish fans

I'm with Trypsin on this.

Anyone who thinks that there is a Fifa/ Uefa conspiracy against us is a ****.

That's a very uncalled for insult! If you don't retract it immediately, I will call for you to be banned from this whole site!

An overreaction and a little pathetic, non?

How would you feel about the use of that word if you had a relative with "Downs Syndrome?"

 

[Big Ern]

They aren't the only ones being reprimanded for this type of thing, it may be a bit heavy handed but it's not a case of Uefa v England. a few fans jumping over the advertising boards to attempt to gain access to the pitch IS an attempted pitch invasion, it's just not a mass pitch invasion.

 

[Pete Doherty]

I'd pretty quickly get over it.

Do you have a relative with Down's Syndrome?

 

[canary-dave]

Just the loutish response I expected from you!

I don't have a relative with Downs, but an awful lot of people do! Are you saying that because they're not my relatives that I shouldn't care?

 

[Vincemac]

zero tollerance that means zero tollerance

No, but you really shouldn't get offended on their behalf.

Pete - beat me up if you like but I've removed the offending word.
