Another Scouse Fan On The Pitch.

[TIL 1010 4,717]

So Everton score their opening goal of the season and one of their fans decides to run on the pitch and join the players in their celebration. He is promptly taken away by the stewards but whatever made him do such a stupid thing ? It was hardly a last minute winner against a bitter rival that won them the League or FA Cup and he got caught up in the excitement. Mind you the last time an idiot ran onto the pitch was that fool of a Liverpool supporter.

I see a pattern developing here or am I being unjust to those poor put upon scousers and sit back and accept their antics.

It''s in the genes, like so many other strange things they do.[;)]

What I found funny was how when they scored their second another fan decided to do the same thing, he jumped over the boards but then saw 2 stewards running at him, chickened out and ran straight back into the crowd.

"The steward made a lunge for him, I thought he was going to have his shorts off him lol!"

I have a mate who''s a steward and he said last year that the tactic for fans running onto the pitch is to simply let them and wait for them to feel pressured by the crowd to go away.

It seems thats changed and the stewards are a bit more no nonsense now.

Just a pretender .. really poor effort compared to Fat Boy Chew from Hoveton[;)]

Never met an Everton supporter. Not sure there are any over here. Isn''t that nice?

He probably said other stuff, but at that point I plugged myself into my ipod.

It wasn''t his fault he ran onto the pitch , he wasn''t to blame at all, if anything he is the victim and it was everyone else fault.

It''s a very stupid thing to do considering there is a big fine for invading the pitch. But then again, they aren''t the most intelligent bunch.

Lucky the stewards held off or otherwise they''d be facing a mass claim for whiplash.

The gulf between the two invasions was of Norwich/ipswich footballing proportions!

I haven''t seen that happen here at Jeld-Wen field. Then again, the fall from the traveling supporter section might be lethal.

There is at least one in Portland - very kind guy who gave us a lift back to our Hotel after match against Timbers- we were stranded at Station with no taxis in sight when I spotted this guy with an Everton shirt on!
