Pitch invasion challenge video

[shelfboy68]

Being at the game last night the stewards struggled with catching them especially the first invader.

They are still in custody?

"Three pitch invaders at tonight's match have been arrested and are assisting police with their enquiries," read a statement on Tottenham's official Twitter page. "We shall provide an update as soon as we have established the full facts.

"We apologise to fans for the disruptions caused by this totally unacceptable behaviour."

I certainly hope so... looks like BassBuds should sue them as well...

Do I need help, for finding it funny? It took me back to the good old days when football was a laugh. OK, they may have overdone it a tad, but that video made me chuckle. We're too consumed with top 4 and spreadsheets nowadays.

 

[Wellspurs]

They did more running than Dembele.

I suppose it can be seen as light hearted as no one was injured and it was just a PR stunt, but sooner or later some nutter is gonna do that with a knife or similar for some religious or political point.
In all seriousness they should be treated as an instant threat and tasered.
The penalties for climbing that barrier and entering the pitch should be MUCH more severe.

Exposed the sham of our security for what it was, great at stealing Levy Out banners under the guise of H&S but when they're called upon to do a bit of genuine H&S work and protect the players from possible attack they're sadly wanting. Heaven forbid that had been a malevolant pitch invasion we'd be talking about things in a whole different manner now.

If I were Levy or his head of security I'd be treating that as the sort of training exercise the emergency services put together to establish failings in a procedure and put them right before the emergency occurs. Just because I'm an overweight middle aged man doesn't stop me from criticising Spurs for employing the likes of me-at least I'd do my job rather than treat it as getting paid to watch a game for free.

Here's a photo of my screen I took in the second half, they don't exactly strike you as a security force on top of their game or poised, ready to spring into action. Just all wrong. Not justifying those invader's actions but Spurs are fools if they don't learn lots from this.

Really? Would you trust those incompetents of stewards we witnessed last night with a taser? If we're going down that road we may as well bring back fencing (of course we shouldn't). What we require is pitchside security worthy of it's name. Keep your fat old men as stewards for directing people with borrowed season tickets to their seat and telling people to sit down, but have genuine security on the pitch perimeter.

Unless you have literally a fence of security guards all around the pitch, essentially a human fence, it won't stop it.
Tasers and a default 6 months getting passed around pentonville like a bag of toffees....let's see how funny Trollstation finds that.

Pitchside security doing it's job would be a start, no need for a ring of steel, just fit, well paid, professional staff. We obviously paid peanuts and got monkeys.

Mate, go to some other grounds....they're all the same.
this could've happened at any ground .
It's no surprise that some people use any excuse to dig out the club.

 

[Stoof]

I don't know if this is because it was at Spurs, but I've had a serious sense of humour failure about this.

Fucking no-hoper clowns.

I agree, it is. Doesn't mean because standards are low elsewhere we should follow.
Don't understand your second point. I'm not the pitch invader, I didn't condone it, neither do I like to see Spurs as a laughing stock, I'm trying to find a way of preventing it recurring rather than accept it as inevitable simply because that's the way stewarding is done across the board.

I thought stewards are told to watch the crowd at all times and can be removed from being a steward ever again for watching the game.

The second point was referring to your dig about us not paying our security staff enough? Is that a fact?....do we pay less than other clubs?.....seems like a dig mate.

Everyone follow @TrollstationYT - Hottest pranks coming out of the UK!!

I would say they had plenty to do with it...

 

[GilzeansGrandad]

I couldn't believe the number of spectators who applauded and cheered these cretins.

 

[ernie78]

Security were shit last night, luckily it was a "prank" and no one got hurt. Seriously that first guy was on the pitch for ages before a guy in a suit ran on, the orange bibs just sat like idiots looking on. Second half I said to my dad "just look at security, all facing the pitch not the crowd" They need an arse kicking for last night debacle. Watch UEFA fine us more than thy did Lazio for being racist.

I think this happend against Maccabi Haifa in turkey or in eastern Europe somewhere. Fans just went on the pitch and started on them.
