saint-johns-toun Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 With the eejits encroaching the pitch when we won could the club be in trouble for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havana Saint Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 UEFA hates any kind of invasion and you tend to see fines. Rather sad that the invasion took place and Tommy did a great job telling them to get back tae the stands. The club warned fans last year. Put it this way, if it was carried out at Celtic Park, guaranteed press coverage and fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBored Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 We got off with it last season, although that time there was only a couple. This time, I'd be very surprised if the UEFA delegate didn't bring it up and we get a £5k fine or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calypso Kid Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 UEFA take kids jumping on a pitch more seriously than institutionalised racism. A disgrace of an operation, only equalled in it's hopelessness by FIFA and BBC Scotland.

Aitchy Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) My thoughts are a bit mixed on this one. I was sitting in the area down the front where Tam Scobbie and the team ran over to and there was such a surge down the front that people were getting forced on to the track/pitch. After this the Police/Stewards lost control of the situation a bit and it was a free for all, with more running on. There is an argument that just because people were getting forced on to the trackside, that they then dont need to run on to the pitch, but I genuinely think people just got caught up in the eurphoria of the moment. Just as well the Police on the Main Stand side were on the ball though, otherwise things could have turned really nasty, as the Luzern fans didnt seem to take too kindly to Saints fans running on the pitch. Dundee United got fined 5,000 Euros a few years ago and that was for only one person invading the pitch.

SlickDT Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Good on the Luzern fans I say, there was potential there for a mass brawl. We will get a fine and I hope anyone who entered the pitch is good enough to forward a donation to cover it. Although the majority would have to go asking their mum and dads for an advance on their pocket money! nickyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-montrosesaintee Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 When we get to the group stages and the £1m windfall rolls in, the fine for last night will be worth it. That penalty by Scobbie could be the catalyst for something huge. FAIR CITY FIRM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AthensSaint Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I suppose EUFA have to be consistant on this. In a sycophantic way, It makes our wee market town team seem "bigger". Maybe Rown Vine will want to come back now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Col Kojak Slaphead II Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 A few of our eejits made a straight dash across the pitch to try and goad the Luzern fans to come onto the pitch aswell, thankfully as you say the police were on the ball or it could have been a real nasty situation. special mention must also go to the Luzern goalkeeper, who got himself between the Luzern fans and the line of Police and was urging their support to calm down and stay in the stand. Fair play to him for that. fazman1977, SundayGirl and angus-saint253 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play to him for that. Fair play to him for applauding the Saints fans in the main stand as he left the pitch 10 minutes later too, along with most of his team-mates. They played the referee during the game, and there were a few niggly moments, but at full time they were as gracious in defeat as any team I've seen, Comparisons to Minks are therefore well wide of the mark in my opinion.

Broon Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Total Wankers. I hope UEFA take note that 99% of the fans booed the wee fannies and they were quickly rounded back up and put I their pen. If the club are fined then the club should open up a donation line from each of the idiots who went on the pitch to pay the club back. And when the club charge £30 next time we all know why.

Absolutely, I really cannot see the comparison people are making with Minsk. FCL were professional, dignified, good hosts, played the game, were not cynical and not bitter at FT. Granted some of the aspects of their play were rather "European", but we handled all of that very well. Their fans did not react and were an added positive feature of the night. Minsk on the other hand............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were about half a dozen ran towards the Luzern fans, but didn't get too close. Probably only 2 or 3 were actively goading them though. It was over in about 30 seconds.

No problem with them spilling out onto the trackside to celebrate with the players, that is understandable at times. But running 100 yards across the pitch to goad the opposition fans was completely out of order and utterly f*cking stupid.
