I do remember Micky Small squaring up to all of them during 'that' game and they all backed down
Yes, he was absolutely huge! What a signing by Barry Lloyd. Bought for a small fee and sold to West Ham for £400,000 - big money back then.

I hear what you're saying, and normally I'd agree. After all I've moaned about PB's "The whole school will be punished" approach to flasks and bottletops, and also I'm a limp-wristed lefty do-gooder rather than a member of the hang 'em and flog 'em brigade.
However I really do think "the whole school will be punished" is the now right response. Look at the reaction of the Birmingham fans when the **** ran on; they were laughing. They were even laughing after he'd attacked him. Maybe their reaction even spurred him on once he'd run onto the pitch - and I'll bet he had a twisted thought process that went: "Yeah I'll probably cop a ban and a fine, but I'll be a total legend amongst Blues fans, so it'll be worth it. Everyone will buy me a beer." If they knew that the entire fanbase will be punished they may not have been so enthusiastic - and he may even have thought twice knowing that he'd be seen as the **** that got everybody punished.
With regards to everyone cheering when it happened I could guarantee that if it happened to Zaha on Saturday 80% of the away end would have cheered and laughed. Only after a couple of minutes when it sank in what had actually just happened would 99% of those people realise that it was an absolute shithouse thing to do.
Obviously had a hard life

It seems the pitch invasion and assault weren't the only reason he was being villified on Twitter.

On second thoughts it may be a copy account, which is just as stupid.

Point is though that it didn't happen, no Brighton fan did run on the pitch and clobber one of their players, probably because we know it is a shithouse thing to do

Imagine if someone did lamp Wilf though. Hmm. Yes...I’m imagining it right now.
Out of say 50,000 fans, it may be the case 49,999 know that. Only takes one 'off his head idiot' to do it, and we would mostly laugh until the gravity of it all sinks in. Which was my point about beating the Birmingham fans with it for initially laughing. That said, Birmingham always seem to have been blessed with more than their fair share of idiots,

Someone threw a pie at him, at the Amex.
Btw the Birmingham bloke has pleaded guilty to both charges this morning, in court.

”The officer who was carrying Mitchell off the pitch said Mitchell thought Mr Grealish was a nob,” said the prosecutor.
”Mitchell claims he was not intoxicated and was with his father and did it as a joke.
What sort of joke involves hitting a player on the pitch

Sentence this afternoon
Yet some of things that have happened recently in a rapidly deteriorating Hassocks are waiting months before they go to court.
Drink drivers and football fans fall into roughly the same bracket where the courts are concerned, the lowest of the low.
