Didn't West Ham or Man Utd have a goal not disallowed even though there was a handball on the build up, and the reason was because it wasn't the scorer who handballed? 

No - it was judged that it wasn’t deliberate  (Antonio I think) 

 

and unintentional doesn’t have to be the goal scorer - any contact with hand or arm just has to lead immediately to the goal

Pretty sure they used to have some guidance on how far back they can go.

They usually go back to the last time the defence were able to clear the ball (or cleared the ball) so previous phase. Not sure what would happen if you had a Man City keep ball of two minutes and then a goal was scored after what was considered a deliberate handball

How many tinpot clubs are there ?

It must be so exciting for the fans to win their 5th Prem title in 6 years... definite pitch invasion worthy!

[Guest Lcfc82]

Bit of a weird pitch invasion, being as the league was won before the game. I thought they were supposed to be spontaneous.

[Danizen]

Is this where they tell the fans doing the pitch invasion that if they don't get off, they won't do the presentation? As if Sky would allow that

Pitch invasion when you’ve already won the thing seems weird

Walsall deffo one. 

 

When we went down to League One they were obsessed with us. After we beat them at their place, one hilarious Karen female fan rang in the local radio phone-in almost in tears saying the police should be involved, because our striker had the temerity to celebrate in front of them!

 

It got clipped to YouTube and I still occasionally listen to it this day for a laugh.

It's pathetic. Happens all the time at the moment for no reason. It's just a bunch of attention grabbing people trying to get something on their social media.

[Brainy]

Must be something about holding a match ticket which makes you feel invincible, the most powerful person on the planet. Do what you like, the rules don't apply to you

Predictable end there - never going to stop it

maybe just let people enjoy themselves. It’s really not so deep.

Need to get your selfies for Insta out on the pitch! Half of them running out with phones whipped out ready to pose.

We did the exact same when we won the championship and it was beyond odd.

[Dames]

If we stay up and any of our fans pitch invade on the last game we should be docked points and relegated for being so tinpot. 
 

You just know theres lads looking at this and getting ideas.

My five year old grandson hasn't got off to the best of starts as a supporter. This is his first real year of following teams, and he's still undecided between Grandad's Leicester or Dad's Leeds. At the moment he's favouring Leicester. I'm trying to steer him towards Leeds, as it's just easier for school with his mates, and getting to matches. I thought if one team went down it might sway him. May well be both.

Tried to get him to follow Forest and Everton just for the last three weeks but it didn't work. Certainly the luck not with him yet.

Oh they’d definitely dock us points, however man city would get away with it as they’d claim it wasn’t a clear and obvious pitch invasion.

I remember the announcement being something similar to "stay off the pitch, you're ruining it for everyone"

Sky flashing up a graphic  of notable English seasons in PL  …… and our season wasn’t on there. Despite being the most remarkable season ever. Insane. 

[StevieH]

So a team that has potentially broken 115 FFP rules wins the Premier League and club, Everton also under investigation are likely to avoid relegation. We play by the rules and look where it's got us. No points for honesty in this game.

[MrsJohnMurphy]

No one will ever...ever top Bocelli and Ranieri with our trophy presentation

Not surprising though, Sky are absolute tossers.

It’s a joke. Supporting Man City over the last few years is like playing FIFA on the easiest mode, with financial settings set firmly to off.
