He was scared for his and his son's safety. He was knocked to the ground by idiots trying to get into the pitch and also, unbelievably, the stairs were crushed by morons trying to get back in to go and fight. He had to be pulled out and led to "relative safety". What goes through people's heads? You lost, just go home. I was told I was "at it" for suggesting that it was an unsafe environment so I'm glad someone is backing me up. To clarify my point above, I meant that the pitch invasion shouldn't be blown out of proportion in isolation. They happen regularly in England without incident. If players were assaulted then that is, of course, a totally different matter entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Let's be very clear, there was no need for anyone to be on the field. Nobody at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewolf_1980 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) The front page of today's Sunday Mail has a picture which suggests Lee Wallace was indeed punched. Edit: it won't let me post the image because the file is too large. Edited May 22, 2016 by thewolf_1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phart Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Not sure why that file is too large it has zero resolution. the police should be identifying everyone who threw punches at players and the courts should be making huge examples of them. Put them in jail and ban them from football. Folk thinking in terms of "Ranger's" side of Hampden is what caused the infighting amongst fans. It implies ownership and that it had to be "defended" cause the "hibs" invaded "our" half. Mob rules then kick in.Then you have another set of fans "defending" their side of the pitch like it's battlefield. You have limited resources so they should be used to identify the fans hitting players and staff, that has to be nipped in the bid with immediate affect.

phart Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Those two pictures suggest to me that the guy flinging the punches shouldn't be, he has tiny hands. Edited May 22, 2016 by phart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boynze Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 a total scummy thing to do, no defense for that. reckon there will be a fair few arrest over the next few days, some very clear pictures circulating. whats surprises me though is the age of some of the folk, one of the sunday mail pics of fans on the cross bar (wanton vandalism btw) shows guys well into their fifties, seriously football fans must be the most childish people going.

ShedTA Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I am surprised that if several players were assaulted there is no YouTube footage yet. Not saying it didn't happen just thought with 50000 cameras there someone would have caught it. Maybe it will yet follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 I'm not too sure what more the police can do at the ground, if 5,000+ fans rush on the pitch at one end how can they stop them? That side of Hampden would be quite hard to get on the pitch given there are like 3ft wire barriers in front, it was clear when fans were on the pitch the policing was fairly inadequate, no riot gear to speak of, which you see plenty of down in England, even at low level matches.
