I didn't think of it until you mentioned it in the match thread. i dont know what the precident is for this, as it's never really happened in my footballing life. Well, not that i can remember, anyway, Have teams been docked points in the past, or are we just wearing our rose-tinted glasses again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saints Warrior Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 I have said it before and now again the police are `**** scared` of the so called firms with reputations and as at SMS they just cant do anything to upset them.

revolution saint Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Football finance and football hooliganism and points deductions are completely unrelated...The only ones who suffer are genuine fans.

It was'n't a league game. Perhaps both teams being expelled from the competition would be a better option, plus of course, a nominal fine, to top up the FL's 'ailing' finances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fat Controller Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Trouble is that the rivalry between Milwall and West Ham was glorified on the big screen with Green Street and now the idiots supporting either club thinks it's the thing to do and kick **** out of each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Deduct both teams 10 points. That might stop them..... you'd like to think. Unfortunately the Football League has no sense and is probably bullied by Millwall, and will the Premier League be interested in docking someone points for an incident outside there competition? Don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thedelldays Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/8221590.stm not a great deal of violence in that clip..? was as bad..? are people over reacting..? seen worse on a week night a fratton.. Just seen "shocking" pictures on SSN from someone camcorder...!!! it was a load of west ham fans singing sit down if you hate millwall...then singing stand up if you hate millwall.. then a lot of posturing then a bin was thrown..oh noes!!!!!!!

Griffo Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 The trouble away from the ground is nothing to do with West Ham as a club, and the stuff on the pitch was only celebrations, you didn't see any West Ham fans going over to the Millwall fans, they mostly stayed up their end. Tbh, if we had beaten Pompey in similar circumstances I would half expect there to be some sort of pitch invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffo Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 dock points from west ham (and/or millwall) for what..? celebrating on the pitch...? We've had pitch invasions. Sheff Utd at home, Burnley at home. Burnley at home there was actual violence on the pitch and there were no consequences for either club, whereas only about 100 West Ham fans jumping about on the pitch are getting all this coverage and media frenzy.. They'll just get life bans for those involved, a small fine and a slap on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notjon Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 It is believed the violence flared between the rival supporters after an argument over who would be the first to grow opposable thumbs. West Ham fan, Wayne Hayes, said: "They was sayin' that one of 'em already 'ad fums and could use tools and evryfin'. "And I was like, 'you fackin' bastards, my old dad nearly 'ad fums once, you callin' me a cant?'." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he die? You make a good point though. I'll bet the Southampton 'Yoof' enjoyed watching last nights trouble as it gives them something to aspire to.

Junction 9 Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 The media couldn't wait for this to happen and would have been hugely disappointed had it not kicked off. The headlines were written the day before I'd imagine. As for docking points, do you really think the majority of those involved could care less if the clubs lost points?

Saint_clark Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 Let's get our facts straight here. This pitch invasion was DURING the game. I'm sure points deductions have followed these kind of things in the past. Our pitch invasion V Burnley was AFTER the game - but I noticed in the programme last night a page stating that we ARE under investigation, and that whilst we wait for the outcome Southampton are working with the police to identify the main instigators of violence and slap them with banning orders.

scott_saints Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 As for docking points, do you really think the majority of those involved could care less if the clubs lost points? To be fair, yeah I do. I don't buy into the "hooligans aren't real football fans" theory. Not that I condone it, but just because they like to have the odd "chat" doesn't mean they're not passionate about supporting their team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thripp87 Posted 26 August, 2009 Share Posted 26 August, 2009 As I was at the game last night, perhaps I am more suited to comment?? This is a complete over reaction from the Media, they simply love the fact that two clubs who have a reputation kicked off. nothing rele happened, scuffles with old bill (who were heavy handed as always) and a few pitch invasions. There were fights outside the ground aswell, but with two consenting adults? Why is that such a crime? We are hardly talking rape and peados are we? Also why blame the fans directly? Look at it this way, they prob are not as fortunate as some of us, or intelligent. They watch films liek Green Street and play up to an image that is glorified. It was the same principle here v Burnley, it only kicked off when the dogs came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch invasion after the game, there where a few skates in the Burnley end and one of them threw a smoke grenade type thing at the saints fans and a few coins and bottles where lobbed back and forward. A few saints got chucked out for rowing with stewards and I think 8 fans had their pictures in the echo because the police wanted to arrest them. Wasn't really anything bad tbh.
