Jamie_Beatson Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 PA reports that a Saints fan has been banned from McDiarmid for life for jumping on to the track to celebrate when Saints scored against Rangers. I seem to remember the bloke leaped the wall - then was immediately dragged from the stadium. It says he ran towards the pitch in celebration - although I seem to remember he was huckled pretty much as soon as his feet hit the ground. Anyway, the point of this is that virtually every game earlier this season away fans ran on to the track at McDiarmid to celebrate - particularly Dundee United fans. Did any of them get arrested? Not that I condone running on the pitch - but if you're going to have a rule it needs to be applied properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noose76 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 He's a good lad and went straight across the the polis once he was on the pitch. Seemed pretty daft but no way worth a lifetime ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike180279 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I agree, not a lifetime ban but consistency has to be applied in all cases. As difficult as that would be to extend to away fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch what happens if United score an important goal on Saturday. Guarantee they are on the park and nothing happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noose76 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I don't want to to see United fans arrested if they run on the pitch to celebrate a goal. Stick them back in the stand and let them get on with it. We done in last season at Dunfermline and it's harmless over exuberance, not worth a weekender.

Mike180279 Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Last time I did it was Motherwell away when Roddy scored the night we went top of the SPL (albeit after 2 games but they all count!!) I was only about 19 at the time so youth was my excuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Rourke Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hopefully if this is the lad's first indiscretion he will be given another chance? Perhaps a letter of apology to Mr Brown and the club may get him back in the fold for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bertrand Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 How exactly do you police a life ban? how are you going to tell that guy from joe bloggs in 2 months time? or is it simply that if he gets caught he gets in further trouble and that is meant to deter him from going?

St Mikey Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Saints "board" obviously think we have a surplus of fans to ban another person. It just shows that the "security and policing" at McDiarmid is honking. How many times do they say to away fans that they cannot stand or stop shouting. Not as bad as Partick Thistle a couple of years ago. I got told to sit down when we had a shot hit the bar but I thought it was going in. The fanny decided to stand next to me. I stood up at half time in extra time and he tried to sit me back down. I asked him to think clearly what he was doing before I pissed all down the front of him. Needless to say, the police got involve but told him to back off for invasion. I commented he assualted me by pushing down on my shoulder to prevent me from standing up.

Sainteesean Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 thats a ****ign disgrace. finger out brown. are you going to ban us all for being on the pitch when we won the league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Totally unfair. I'm all for Scottish football knocking out all the exuberance in the game because really compared to Spanish and Braziian football our football is far too exciting. I therefore think the Scots should continue on the 30 year track of taking all the spontaneity out of football. Also book players for celebrating in front of their fans - appalling! The fun we used to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CynicalSaintee Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 Would this be the speccy arse who runs down the track every time we play Dundee or the Old Firm? If that's the case - good riddance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
