' Players Can't Celebrate with their Fans '


On the weekend 97th minute winner and players can't celebrate with fans?


Police/Stewards over the last few years have started to stop players going over to celebrate with their own fans, now the police even run over to video it to look to charge/ban fans



Opinions please

It's pathetic to stop players/fans from the same club interacting safely at any time but after a 97th minute winner is very bad game management from the so-called authorities!

It's hardly a hostile environment and only one or two (rightly death with) have has crossed the line...or fence in this case!

Those involved (fans and players) are probably as 'loved up' at that moment as any will ever be and I know from experience (like many of us who were there at the Leeds game, for example) the pure unadulterated ecstasy that comes from your team doing something extraordinary!

Slowly but surely atmospheres in stadiums is being eroded and that is contributing to fans walking away!

We have our own 'Mr Sterile' at the CCS and this stuff just plays into his hands!

100% agree with you Chris and its totally the Authorities faults.

actually this is a different issue to celebrating with fans, the issue is that running towards the fans causes fans to charge forward which could cause injury, I get that a 97th minute winner is great, but if god-forbid a child was in the front rows, and the fans behind came rushing forward it could cause serious injury.

I'm sorry but it's a law of the game and has been for a while.

Don't see why there should be any complaints.

Well its a pretty shit law then. Without any passion and atmosphere football would be pretty shit.

Like Worcester said.

If people are referring to man c on wkend by sterling doing what he did he involved the crowd which resulted in several fans going on pitch! That is actually a criminal offence in any sport now, so player is at fault for probably getting several fans banned! By all means go towards fans but its stupid to go amongst them like sterling did. The reaction of fans was understandable but vould been avoided. A its extremely dangerous for fans in front row what would people say if someone was seriously hurt by his actions?

Totally agree and I've seen our fans do it in years gone by and while it didn't effect or bother me I have thought it would and could cause problems as alot of drunken away fans don't give others a second thought.

Some clubs have disabled in the front rows too- I get what they're saying you could cause injury going into the crowd and enticing fans on the pitch, but should still be allowed to celebrate within the area of play

But then you could argue that even without going into the crowd that the celebrations with the fans in the away end are not that all different?

I don't think so really. You will generally get a rush forward or towards the home fans to the side. I think a player running into the fans just encourages a rush forward as well as to the side.

Man city fans ended up on the pitch. I see the logic in it being a booking.

No one stops players going to their fans to celebrate a goal but must stay on pitch! going into crowd is dangerous and usually results in fans going on pitch which then probably gets them banned for going on pitch which is illegal. And Saturday a man c player almost got done for assault because fans got involved with players.

I ain't disagreeing with the rule of the booking... it's like taking your shirt off and dedicating a celebration to someone.. everyone hates that also but it is in the law of the game.

And must remember man c player was accused of assault because fans got involved with players! Have noticed managers are doing same getting involved with fans celebrating a goal its asking for trouble.
