Lifelong Coventry fan facing ban.

Ban him and fine him the prize prick.

If it is a criminal offense to walk on the pitch why wasn't Bendtner escorted off and charged?

How can you ban someone? does he have to report to the police every time his team are playing?

[DB10GOONER]

If it is a criminal offense to walk on the pitch why wasn't Bendtner escorted off and charged?

I don't think the law mentions walking "ineptly" and "lazily" with a "shit first touch". Just "walking".

[azz91afc]

Oh well...
Serves him right, i notice he chose to do it when The Arsenal were attacking & not when Coventry were

[QuartzGooner]

He acted like a prat.
Bit of community service is about right.

This person has been criminalised for being a minor nuisance ,he should have been lobbed out given a caution and it should end there .

Where is the guarantee they won't do it again? A caution also goes on your file and shows up in CRBs etc so will still have issues getting some jobs.

You get told everywhere, from match tickets, to ad boards, to T&C's on club websites (buried somewhere) it is a criminal offence to go on the pitch, as a "lifelong" Coventry fan if he thought that was the day to be an idiot and do it then he's stupid and deserves the ban.

Now if it had been a female streaker, I would be more open to negotiation.

NB -For sexism purposes, I wouldn't

[DB10GOONER]

I find people defending this type of mong shit annoys me. The fucking gobshite delayed the game, he interrupted my enjoyment of the game. Who the fuck gave him that right? The guy is a melt and should get banned and fined. Fucking geebag.

[Perryashburtongroves]

Get off the pitch. Everybody knows the rules. Banning him from watching Coventry seems more like a prize than a punishment in all fairness.

[TheCook]

Don't go on the pitch, you knobhead ; everyone knows that ; If you want to take one for the team and promote your protest in this way, then you have to accept the consequences of your actions.

[Ryanswannell]

This guy also doesn't help those of us who want less strict rules at matches, such as safe standing and drinking inside the ground, as someone will come up with some bullshit like "standing would increase the chances of a pitch invasion"

[topcat]

He should be banned for a year or 2, that will teach him enough.

A lifetime ban is too much.

[Robin_L]

It got increasingly annoying how the whole night was turned into a giant plug for Coventry's situation. A bit of banner waving is fine, but it got way OTT with the commentator's constant reference to it + this guy holding the game up.

Don't have much sympathy at all. Lifetime ban is probably too much but they wanted a martyr for the cause and he was it.

[safcftm]

He deserves a ban but not a lifetime one. A 3 year ban is pretty much the norm and is probably what he'll end up with

Ban him and fine him the prize prick.

I know its a silly thread but thats a bit harsh on olgit, dont you agree?
