Everton charged over pitch invasions

Notice invasion(s).

It was not only us, although this is of course the most reported occasion on which Everton stayed up by defeating us.

A whipped up, hostile atmosphere at Everton home games notably by Lampard himself, resulting in delays and ultimately pitch invasions.

What do others think?

10 point deduction and 3 home games behind closed doors would fit the bill.

The 10 point deduction should be applied to the points total for the season that the offence occurred in - they should be relegated instead of having the opportunity to play their way out of it in the coming season.

Charged with 2 breaches of rule E20 in our game. As this was not the first time, should be behind closed doors for at least 1 game. Lampard should also be charged for his comments about pitch invasions. Why has it taken so long?

Everton's legal team have come up with their defence. It wasn't an invasion, it's a special operation.

Ho ho. I chuckled AS.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Unfortunately, on occasions stadiums are awash with temulent reprobates and we have seen the intoxicated 'Herd' move with alacrity on to the field of play disgracing themselves with violent and anti-social behaviour.

How are the clubs to blame for the deplorable actions of those who deem it is acceptable to swarm on to the hallowed turf and engage in acts of wanton violence ?
Are clubs expected to erect 10 foot barriers, moats and riot police armed with water-cannon ?

Didn't we have that back in the late 8o's thanks to Looserpool?

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Thank you for enquiring.
Thankfully I have remained bright-eyed and bushy tailed and in fine
fettle with my reservoir of joy not running dry.

Fencing was erected at English football grounds to contain the kind of hooliganism that blighted the game in the 1970s and 80s, though this was got rid of due to the Hillsborough Disaster.

Ken Bates was determined to fight hooliganism via the 12-volt wires at the top of his fences. But in May, the GLC Public Services Committee took an official vote on the matter; the 7-2 verdict against Bates seemingly put an end to this matter.

Fences came well before Heysel in ‘85 due to dozens of clubs and firms.

Still, let's blame Liverpool anyway.

It doesn’t help when the manager refuses to criticise and, indeed, seemed to positively encourage it

For my part I have not seen or heard any evidence of Frank Lampard condoning or indeed refusing to criticise the actions of the reprobates nor actually encouraging the unruly mob from invading the playing area and engaging in disreputable behaviour.

A visit to specsavers is indicated.

Clear incitement from Lampard and his staff whipping up the crowd it was ugly and hostile.

A prior fixture to this, home to Newcastle took 11 minutes of added time to conclude after repeated delays from the crowd, including, guess what, an Everton equaliser the tactics worked.

It was not a safe environment with totally inadequate stewarding unable to deal with repeated interruptions.

Everton are getting off lightly.

Find his after match press conference, seemed to think it was funny and totally refused to criticise it

Somewhat hypocritical don’t you think?

Somebody has to take responsibility for the behaviour of fans and logically that is the home team.

On the night, Everton FC were ‘ enablers ‘ in terms of what happened. Their stewards were totally ineffective / passive call it what you will.

Worse still ( in my opinion ) was the absence of any security provided for the away team officials when the match had ended - that could have turned uglier than it did.

I expect a slap on the wrist fine of approx £20k and a warning as to future conduct

Just because you didn’t see it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Lampard is the first to whip up the crowd at every opportunity. He went way down in my estimation of him last year. Very pleased we didn’t get him as manager.
