| The most surprising thing about these "Events" on Sunday is that anyone is surprised at all.

If you think about it, rugby league has probably had more unsavoury incidents involving pitch invasions in the recent past in this country than football. Remember the KR - FC a few years back?
It needs to be nipped in the bud. It seems to be the crapper teams with the potential problems. You never get much trouble from leeds/saints/wigan. Not to this extent anyway.

I would say that Leeds have in my experience always had the most civilised supporters. In the past I have seen (and experienced first hand) a lot of yobbery from Saints fans.

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?: |

Probably the same as us of late - glad the match is over.

| Quote: nottinghamtiger "I'm not saying it was, but entering the field of play IS a criminal offence. As soon as you start offering "deals" for people to pay their way out of been charged it's a massive can of worms (and indeed unethical).
In addition, most have committed public order offences.
Some are looking at criminal damage charges.
This bloke with the red shirt and black jacket on might be looking at common assault charges. On all the videos his behaviour is actually the worst as he appears to assault a number of people without any provocation and from behind.'"
Sorry but it isn't, only in an association football match is it a criminal offence (As I posted upthread) The worst they could be done for just being on the field is trespass which is a civil matter and would be a royal PITA to chase up. Pubic disorder offences were committed (not by all on the field btw) and a possible assault or two but just entering the field isn't a criminal offence in any sport other than soccer.
I'm sure those that are identified & deserve to be banned from RL games will be.
One thing we do know is that this has had and will have huge negative repercussions both within and outside the sport.

You must have missed this delightfully ironic shot from one of the videos.

Drunk and disorderly? Inciting violence? Being criminally thick?

The 1991 Act only covered Association Football but its coverage was expanded to all forms in the Football (Offences and Disorder) Act in 1999 and in the 2006 Crime Reduction Act which replaced much of the 1999 law.

I suspect the "thinking" was "if we wreck the sign saying it's a criminal offence to go on the pitch we'll be able to go on without being nicked."

You've given the yobs credit for being able to think, tad over-generous don't you think?

Which section/s?
