Bill 1,788 Posted September 3, 2009 [quote user="First Wizard"][quote user="West_London_Canary"]Harsh if you ask me, I don''t think they had any intentions of harming Gunn or anyone else for that matter, they were simply expressing their disgust to what was a shocking performance at Carrow Road. And yes they were wrong to do so and should therefore be punished, but lifelong bans? That''s ridiculas![/quote]Draconian and spiteful if you ask me, yes they were wrong and a two season ban would have sufficed imo.........plus they did help rid us of Gunn![/quote]If you bothered to actually read what the statement said Wizard they WERE NOT given lifelong bans - they were given indefinite bans. And if you had read ......and Smith must score''s well reasoned post before your post you may have understood a bit better.The club have played this very well. They could not have let them back in without any response. There''s an ongoing investigation and no doubt the FA are also still taking a look at it.Indefinite means the club can do whatever it deems suitable and make a final decision when the air has cleared a bit. Had it have been the other way round and they had been given an automatic 2 year ban you would have been the first one to have been on this board berating the board for it''s ''knee jerk'' response.Now go away and have a think and be grateful that there are some in this world a little wiser and bit more thoughtful than you are Wizard.

Canary Man of Kent 0 Posted September 4, 2009 I think that was the only option, and in my opinion the correct decision. I understand their frustrations on that day, but that was a very very silly thing to do (if they didn''t anticipate a ban).However, I don''t think a life ban will be applied and nor should it.

Matt Morriss 69 Posted September 4, 2009 I think its disgraceful for anyone to have a go at the run on 2. Obviously there actions were a bit foolish and hindsight i bet there regretting it but i have nothing but admiration for 2 people to take a massive risk, risk being able to watch there beloved club, for having the balls to say enough is enough, we are sick of the tripe were served up.Colchester was an absolute disaster and I for one was insane with rage, if id have been sat close to Gunn i would have been ejected due to the tirade of abuse i would have no doubt sent his way. Ive never been so angry at a Norwich match.Were conned by Gunn and the board to fork out another £350 on the hope were gonna have a promotion winning season and thats what we get first game in. Fans tempers were still boiling from the Charlton debacle, and the 7-1 was just too much.For me I applaud the run on 2, whilst i agree it wasnt a good idea to run on the pitch im glad somebody finally said ''weve have enough and were not gonna take it anymore''. Those 2 guys only did what everyone in the ground was thinking.Well, maybe not everyone evidently as some people dont seem to bothered by the 7-1 and the state of the club at the time and are prepared to accept it.

Romantic 0 Posted September 4, 2009 They didn''t take any admirable or calculated risks for the good of their club, come on! They got their buns in a twist like we all did but didn''t have the self awareness or sense not to bundle onto the pitch. We all know the rules. Stay off the lawn. In all honesty, if they love the club and genuinely regret what they did, they''ll be back in a season or two anyway.The PR booboo for me is that McNally goes public with the cost of his independent report, when ultimately it was a foregone conclusion. Footy seems to be flirting with a bit of misbehavior at the mo, so we''ll need a bit more stewarding at games. I''m sure that an inquiry of this nature is probably the only route when needing to appease the FA and local bobbys but it''s a shame it costs so much.

William Darby 0 Posted September 4, 2009 I don''t condone the actions of ''the two'' but. I do think the board are collectively are a group of propaganda spewing hood-winkers. They release gushing utter drivel about breaking the rules, safety this crap, rules that crap, while claiming the moral high ground. When they, under the expert guidance of McNasty broke the league rules poaching another manager, (who himself was up on a charge for rule breaking) which will incur a penalty after Col U have calmed down. So IMO the board can shove their safety procedure five figure sum up their arses because it wouldn''t''ve happened if we''d had a proper man in charge of the team.

Chunky Norwich 0 Posted September 4, 2009 Sticking my tin hat on, I''d have to say I had a lot of support for the Touchline Two during the day so it''d be hypocritical of me now to condemn them. There were 24,000 furious (or should have been at any rate) fans in there and although everyone grumbles and moans, at least these two actually did something about it and showed the board tangible proof that we won''t just sit there and take everything.They never went to fight with Gunn or cause any harm to anyone and all this talk of heightened police costs is ridiculous seeing as the boys in blue were nowhere to be seen at the time; our very own kit man had to ''restrain'' them. Running onto a pitch and throwing your season ticket is a symbolic thing to do, nothing more, and I''m sure even the most moronic of morons know there will be repurcussions - at the very least you''ve just thrown your season ticket away!I''m sure a lot of people are going to pour condemnation on them simply because it''s the ''right'' thing to do or they weren''t at the game etc etc. Even because they''re dressed like chavs!They weren''t legally right to do it and I wouldn''t do such a thing myself but fair play to them for sticking by their principles. Two things could be argued if they hadn''t done it: Firstly that Gunn would still be in the job and secondly that without their channelling of the crowd''s anger, things might have kicked off more later on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
