There seems to be new firms setting up and causing problems. As you say SP there seems to be a movement back to the old ways.

In recent weeks we had incidents at Wycombe (player being abused with chants about him being a paedo all through the game, without grounds), Everton (Villa players being pelted with missiles), Southampton (three fans fighting with stewards and setting off fire works), Spurs (Chelsea player hit with a bottle), West Ham (a fan was arrested for assaulting an attending paramedic), Forest (pitch invasion and a fire work set off in the Derby v ..er Derby)....
This weekend it took a darker turn, with some idiot fan running on attempting to hit (the Fleetwood manager says he did hit him, but the fan doesnt get much contact on him judging on the video) a Fleetwood player as he was attemping to take a penalty and score a late equalizer in a game at Rotherham. He had booted the ball from the penalty spot before that..... after a melee lasting a few minutes, Fleetwood then missed the penalty. And then at the City Ground a Leicester fan ran onto the pitch yesterday at the Forest players and landed a few punches as they celebrated a goal. To top off a shameful weekend, Oldham fans invaded the pitch and set off fireworks after scoring a late winner in Scunthorpe.
To put it simply, if I am manager of any of these teams I take my side off the pitch and we get the bus home. I would not watch my players get assaulted and continue to have them out on the field unprotected. Disgraceful behaviour, and it real feels its heading back towards the hooligan behaviour of the 1980s.
Fleetwood should be awarded the win v Rotherham. The FA need to start dishing out some massive fines.

Subbed on as the penalty specialist, didnt save 11 chances, missed his own...
Managers dont learn do they. Dont bring players on cold for penalties.
