Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
Personally, after that sickening, cowardly attack, I think repercussions should be brought against them.
3 games behind closed doors
Possible points deduction
Even ban their scabby fans from Wembley
What’s your thoughts ?

I think they should lose their place in the final , being replaced by the team that finished 18th

It's one dickhead, I wouldn't punish the club.

Agreed not the clubs fault and certainly not the fans
We have suffered for years because of bunch of thugs who followed the club down the years and still do and it is always the decent fans that get truly penalised

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
Apparently sharp and maCpikie were winding the forest fans up behind them throughout the game, just banter but why bother?

Still harbouring grudges that are almost 40 years old and which may have only been associated with a minority of their supporters at the time?

Banter is fine, they certainly receive enough. I quite like when they give some back.

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
That's a nasty assault
Being shouldered at speed by a big bloke could have caused serious injuries
That's the sort of thing rugby thugs used to get away with

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
15,000 people ran onto the pitch and there was 1 incident which couldn’t have been prevented. Not sure why Forest should be punished.
It should be easy enough to work out who it was and fine/ban/jail/etc him.
The alternative is stamp out pitch invasions and put up 10ft fences around the pitch and ruin the game and excitement for every fan base in the country.

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
As has been said, thousands of Forest fans ran onto the pitch but there was only this one serious incident. Just to give this "fan" a lifetime ban would be a nonsense. If he had done that to anyone in the street outside he would be charged with assault and taken to court - inside a football ground should make no difference.

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
The fan should be charged with assault and banned for life. Dint think the club should be punished because of the behaviour of one thug.

BBC News - Billy Sharp: Fan jailed for headbutting player at end of match
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan...shire-61505835
6 months
If he had broken the players jaw or cheekbone or fractured his skull he could have been looking at 4 years
What an arsehole

That soon? There are still people who resent anything German or Japanese because of a war that finished over 75 years ago.

You probably wouldn't be too keen on the Japanese if one of your relatives had experienced their PoW camps.

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
A lenient sentence I reckon. Some of our lot had far severe sentences after that Chelsea set up a few years ago.

Remember, this is the sickening lot, that gave Dave Jones horrible abuse, after his troubles !
And it didn’t come from just behind the goals, there was terrible abuse thrown at him from behind the dugout

I think that's the point he's making
Many hated Thatcher for her attack on the miners and their communities and Nottingham miners were seen as doing her dirty work for her ......and that sort of animosity still hangs around for some people
The question as to if its right to feel like that is a different thing
In the same way some British soldiers or relatives of those who suffered in Burma, under the nazis or were injured in Argentina or Northern Ireland still carry mistrust etc
It's all relative of course

We'd get battered in the final so it would be academic, but can you imagine this side in the EPL? Doesn't bear thinking about!

Guy who lives next door to me is a Northern Ireland veteran. In the last rugby world cup, Japan beat Ireland and I presume were cheered to the rafters by virtually all the home nations. He was absolutely gutted as "the Japs have everything coming to them that they deserve".

At least he doesn’t need to worry about season ticket renewal issues.
Every cloud.

Re: Forest thuggery, should they be punished ?
Guy sounds a right bright spark. S/T holder, probably waited all these yrs for Forest to get back to the top table, and know he can’t go for 10 yrs., Arsehole!

That was then. I've had ancestors killed in war by the Germans. I know that to blame or have a lower opinion of German people as a result is stupid.
Those who fought the Germans in WW2 were far more at peace with them afterwards than the next generation who came along. That says everything.

Forest has banned him for Life, though he has a 10 yr banning order, so I guess he could go to away games
