[Albion] lap of appreciation

[Green Cross Code Man]

Never have I understood pitch invasions. Why do people have this desire to run onto the pitch, what does it achieve?

It is bloody fun!

The one at Grimsby away was the most surreal. People just sort of ambled on and ended up shaking hands with the locals.

I can refer you to post #12.

Well, i reckon the day we win the premier league title we will buck this tradition and storm the pitch

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Ok this begs the question what did you shout

I recall it was a rather generic 'come on. I love you Danny' but it came out so vociferously I think I rather frightened him

Never heard of that word before. Turns out it's an Americanism

Why is it preferable to platform, stage, podium or rostrum?

Are you joking!? 2017 was amazing, I'll never forget that feeling running on the pitch - twice!

Its certainly not an Americanism, its from the Anglo-French deis, Old French dais, dois "platform, high table," from Latin discus "disk-shaped object," also, in Medieval Latin, "table," from Greek diskos "quoit, disk, dish"
