Quote: SaleSlim "Has made one of the main articles on ITV Regional news tonight. Poorly reported IMO and as disgusting as the scenes were it certainly wasn't a balanced report and basically blamed all the trouble on Salford fans when there were clearly both sets of fans involved and to blame.
Going back to the pitch invasion, I'm sorry but it has been going on for years and it will continue to do so in venues where there isn't sufficient stewarding/policing. Watch any lower league football play off game/relegation decider and it inevitably ends in a pitch invasion. If anyone can mention a rugby league match with such a ridiculous ending as Saturday I'll buy you a pint. And it's easy for fans of successful clubs to mock but imagine supporting a team that's been a shower of poop for pretty much 30 years. Salford get relegated on Saturday and their future is seriously in doubt. 78 minutes gone and the final nail is being lined up for the coffin... you're distraught, this could be the end of the club you love as you know it. Then a miracle happens, think Nou Camp 99, THAT Aguero goal or Jimmy Glass for Carlisle. The players go mental, the fans want to celebrate that moment with them and 99% of fans celebrate peacefully. A lot of Salford fans can be seen commiserating the HKR players as well which has barely been mentioned. But hey, any other teams fans would just stand there motionless and give an extra tap on their drum as a sign of what a jolly splendid afternoon they've had eh?
Throw the book at anyone involved in the fighting from both sides, it's deplorable and they're n0bheads the lot of them. Don't demonise a club and a whole set of fans though.'"
