Not that I'm overly bothered but did anyone else see the heavy handed steward literally body slam a Gills fan back into the North Stand after they encroached the pitch after their equaliser?

I heard the Gills fans were trying to claim asylum in Southend.

Anybody who tries to enter the field of play irrespective of the circumstances (with the exception of emergency escape) deserve to be dealt with accordingly and can have no complaints. End of.

Yet watching the foot league highlites every week and there are numerous goals which prompt people onto the pitch.

If you keep banning for it there will be no fans left.

Errhhh. Let's just check the mathematics shall we. 9,000 at the game and how many on the pitch? Don't confuse the stupidity of a visible and vocal minority with the common sense of the majority. :facepalm:

Good to see, the amount of heavy handed police/stewards we come across on our travels compared to our pathetic bunch. They are not paid to be punchbags and have every right to get stuck in if they feel threatened which they obviously did by some of the idiots within the Gillingham fans.

No please in some people.
