If it walks like a duck
The Football Supporters' Federation is aghast that football fans who invade the pitch are being criminalised
.
Given that entering the playing area at a football match is an arrestable offence under the Football (Offences) Act 1991
, it would appear that they don't have much of a case.
Pitch invasion never rarely happened in the olden days when men wore flat caps to t'gaym
.
Notwithstanding the damage that they do to the pitch, fans risk injuring themselves and, more importantly, others. Perhaps being banged up in ol' pokey, and bum-raped in the showers, might teach 'em the error of their ways. Innit?
