What is going on....

To be honest I think this situation needs dealing with in the strictest of ways.

If opposing supporters fancy a ruck, that's down to them, but to take it out on professinal footballers sets an extremely dangerous precedent.

However much i hate Dennis W*se and want to smack him in his little ugly face, I would never do anything while he is on the field of play (I actually long to see him in a London club to be honest).

People who throw objects at footballers are petty small little people who don't have the bottle or self-discipline of 'normal' individuals and I think it's disgraceful to be honest.

No matter what your grievance, when on the field of play, footballers must be allowed to do their job without harrassment from 'fans'. Or else, we're heading for netting everywhere, which will be crap IMO.

I think Everton, and Celtic should all be docked points and Burnley thrown out of the Cup. This would send a very big message to so-called fans and also encourage those around them to 'grass them up'.

Yeah the problem with docking points or chucking teams out of competitions is that potentially away fans in the home end could do this very easily.

IMO I don't think its a big issue, far worse things happen on the pitch and if the papers and radio didn't make such a fuss it would probably just die out. Now its all over radio 5 and talksport and the tabloids every moron will start lobbing their small change.

Very good points made there Sir...

You didn't happen to watch Sky one's Dream Team last night did you?
