I'm sure that's right. However I still imagine someone in their 60s looking back at something they did aged 19 and hugely regretting it. When looked at in that light a "life ban" really ought to be an indefinite ban and the onus should be on the person to prove they've reformed before the club reconsiders.

That's a fair point.  Let's go with a 10 year ban.

 

perhaps any banned fan could meet with whoever (probably Neil Hart) periodically to discuss being let back in having learnt their lessons

Fans who throw stuff have more pashun than those that don't.

Seemingly so.

Maybe those that can't control themselves should go and watch athletics, in particular field sports like the javelin or hammer.

Or maybe even take the sport up- we might discover a future olympian.

I know horwich told me 🏏 

Shrewsbury and Morecambe late goals get us points in both.

Does anyone think people should be looking at bans for the celebration at Shrewsbury ? It is unbridled joy and passion. Morecambe was about players and fans together.

I had no issue with bans for chucking stuff and fighting , but over celebrating ? Someone else mentioned punishment fitting the crime and that sums it up,

I think most of us know lads around that age who can’t even look back at what they did a lot more recently than when they were 19 and still not realise they need to grow the fuck up.

The punishment does fit the crime. If you go on the pitch or chuck stuff, you get banned. It's fucking simple.

So when we got promoted against Peterbro on the last day of the season, and thousands went onto the pitch, do you consider that a banning offence? If the answer is yes, we would have no fans left now!

And following the Forest game.

What about the little kid at Accy? Do they get banned? Their folks?

 

How do you measure someone's intent when encroaching on the field of play? What is acceptable? 

 

There are too many grey areas and too many folk looking down their nose on others. If folk make an isolated mistake they should be spoken to, but not banned. People who keep making the same mistake however...

No. As per everything in life, nothing is black and white.

As someone approaching that age I can assure everyone that wanting not to grow up is much more of a priority.

White doesn't even exist, ergo nothing CAN be white, hence nothing is white. Cheese is right, possibly for the first time ever. Although I'm sure he'll dispute that.

I'm right at least 50% of the time.

Sssssh don’t say that 

Under the Morecambe circumstances; I.E. Unjust penalty & unjust sending-off (both subsequently proven to be unjust by virtue of the red card being rescinded) followed by a goal conceded - that almost certainly wouldn't have been conceded if we had 11 players on the pitch - followed by the Bolton bench being taunted/abused; the pitch invasion was 'understandable'.

Therefore, in my opinion, if someone ran onto the pitch & DIDN'T do anything else whilst there (e.g. throw a punch) then they can consider themselves unlucky if they receive a ban - even though it is an offence to go onto the pitch.

HOWEVER, the throwing of stuff onto the pitch, prior to our equaliser & on-pitch celebrations, tarnishes all of the Bolton fans there & raises the heckles of the authorities - making their tolerance of the pitch invasion less likely.

As per the thread I started on throwing stuff, it will have repercussions & needs to be cut-out immediately.

Not sure what else they can do other than have warnings on the scoreboard and over the tannoy warning everyone not to do stuff, then make examples of people when they do it anyway. Unfortunately, the majority have to suffer for the actions of the minority. Same as it ever was.

was telling someone at work in my younger days I'd been on the pitch a few times. Then remembered Peterborough 😆
