whats the point of this ? there were over 1000 professional matches last week and you find ONE jackass fan that ran on the field and a goalie trying to get his team team an advantage because of it and you vilify the entire sport.

Let me guess you know nothhing about the rule or how to play

JACKASS

Well actually I live in Edinburgh, just across the way from Glasgow, my point was how are we going to market our sport to the U.S. when it has the sort of rubbish involved that happened last night. Im not trying to vilify the sport and obviously i did not make that point at the start.

Was that just some fan? I can understand a player diving during a game to get a call but diving to draw a penalty of a fan?

If you think that's bad acting, you should see Argentina's players play...

I keep hoping somebody uploads that video with Benny Hill music. That would so kick ass.

He couldint get a penalty, the incident happened after he had just had a goal put past him and it was near the end of the gamewith his team losing, I think he was trying to get the game abandoned ala the video you see below where the game got abandoned two years ago.

Same goalkeeper here.
