    I realise this will have been discussed at length, but I've been away, so apologies.

    While it's never acceptable to go on the pitch during a game, the strongly worded statement on the official site, plus the lengthy bans handed out, make it sound much worse than some barm pot running on the field celebrating a goal. Was it just that or was it something more sinister?

    A guy ran on the pitch about 10 mins into the second half with a rubber ring around him. He ran around a bit near the corner flag near away end, nearest to East Stand (where we were taking a throw in) with a big silly grin and then left the pitch.

    Thank you. Just someone acting like an arse then. Not that I'm condoning that, but after reading the official site I was worried someone had smacked one of the players.

    No nothing like that but with our ever increasing cretinous element it's only a matter of time

    Great word. I like 'imbecilic' too.

    "that decision to recruit 27 midfielders when we've no full backs or wingers, in a very Spackman-esque manner is very imbecilic"

    I think the statement from the club came out of frustration at yet another issue within the fan base. I believe we fought hard to not have a massive police presence/bill at the game, only for someone to run on the pitch after being egged on by his mates who allegedly did a whip round to spur him (rumour I heard. Nothing concrete).

    I blame the stewards! They've been practicing 'phase 5' position for 20 years!!! They failed again

    Some kid off his box ran on the pitch.

    No mention however of the two barnsley fans getting slapped on the train...
