I've seen and heard people on the radio and the TV doing so but would any club have definitely stopped that bloke getting onto the pitch? We don't have the same outrage at the club when a streaker gets on the pitch.
On a similar note, has anybody ever been checked going into Portman Road? If I so wished I could get a knife in there easily or a heavy object to be lobbed at a player. Checks at football grounds are virtually non-existent. It is a sad state of affairs if everybody has to be checked as they go in but I am very surprised given the climate in recent years that this isn't the case at football matches. |  | | |  |

I’ve never really thought about it, as it’s just the way it is. Clubs have always had a responsibility for the control of their fans in the ground. Or at least in modern times they have. Tbh I don’t even know why (insurance?, FIFA rules?, legal?). |  |

The disparagement of the noble, 'proud' streaker is one of the sad symptoms of modern times.
'Idiot(s)'? Or brave celebrators and advocates of the male form? Sky has much to answer for here. |  |

I think punishing the club sends the right message and encourages fellow fans to stop others doing it (ultimately the greatest deterrent is fans physically stopping them).
If you say should the club have prevented it? It depends how foreseeable it was that from that area of the crowd it would happen. To carpet the perimeter with stewards is tricky.
The other thing I find bizarre is this "if he had a knife he could have killed him". If he had premeditated it then the whole incident is a different kettle of fish. If someone is premeditating it, Grealish is not safe in public full stop. |  |

Every club in the land relies on the fans being sensible, there is no club out there that has any "control" over the fans. I saw a picture a couple of months back of a bloke sitting in the Co-Op stand with a glass jar of Doritos dip. And yet a bottle of coke cannot be taken to the stands with a bottle cap on for fear of being a dangerous object. | | | |

Agree. Not sure what mistake they have made to deserve any punishment. Should they put a cage round the perimeter or something? |  |
