THANK YOU

[Peter G]

Brentford Football Club would like to place on record their full appreciation of the excellent behaviour of their fans at the final whistle for not encroaching on the pitch and thus allowing Andy Scott and his squad of players to take the plaudits for a tremendously satisfying season.

Thank you each and every one of you.

 

[Chopper]

Peter what will happen to the club and the kids for the incident near the end?

 

[Tom the bee]

One from ealing road ran on to the pitch during the lap of honour

Oh and a giant bee in ER tried to get on but failed

Thank you each and every one of you.

Although no thanks whatsoever to the two little sods who thought it so amusing to run around the 18 yard box in the middle of the game. Nor to the mindless tossers who thought it reasonable to hurl bottles at the Hartlepool keeper once he'd got bored of waiting for our stewards to remove the little oiks. Do you think they'd have thrown bottles at Chesney if it'd been him rather than Flinders who grabbed hold of them ? No, didn't think so.

absolute ****s who despite giving it the big one about going after the keeper on the pitch at full time left when the ref blew the whistle. gutless vermin, pretended not to hear the abuse they were getting from the decent majority of bees fans. hopefully they were there as a one off.

I watched a group of 15 or so of our little chavs stomping down the Braemar Road after the game looking for Hartlepool fans and asking where they could find their Supporter's coach to "show them mugs"... These are the sort of people we need to weed out, they're simply not fans we want or need IMO.

 

[LboroBee]

the Hartlepool 'keeper should get a medal for that

and for those who were booing him & chucking stuff at him, slaps in the face.

i saw a group of that description down new road. couldnt of been the same rabble could it?

 

[Belcher_3]

fair play to their keeper,

our stewards were clearly not going to do much about it

 

[jharvey85]

i saw a group of that description down new road. couldnt of been the same rabble could it?

If they were responsable for the melee outside the Griffin, they were all rounded up outside the methodist church on Clifden Road. Saw one copper dragging two of them along by himself.

Saw some of the players stuck in their cars behind the riot van for an age. Bet they were proud of their "supporters".

But well done to the majority of supporters. Another great season!

Peter - it's am absolute pleasure. I'd like to thank Andy Scott, all the staff at the club and the players for giving us a fantastic season - absolutely superb! Feel really sad that there are no Brentford games for the next 3 months!

 

[Roy_loak]

well done andy scott. you've turned this club around from the league 2 shambles you took over to a competent league 1 side, and we've had some great games this season with excellent results against some of the top teams.

can't for the life of me see what's so wrong with a good natured end of season pitch invasion after the final whistle though! hopefully we'll have one next season with something to celebrate.

If it was the same lot that I saw moving menacingly down New Road and talking about getting to the Hartlepool coaches then they weren't 'little' chavs at all; late teens and Twentysomethings. I sincerely hope that we never see them at GP again. The sad fact is that a small number of idiots seem to have attached themselves to BFC recently and its vital that the club, stewards and Police get on top of things before anything gets seriously out of hand.

I accept the club will get fined. But I don't understand why the rules are such an ass in the first place. Remove fans' exuberance from the game entirely and you pop one clog closer to football being 100% run for the sole benefit of ****s in suits.

 

[westwing]

The kids were wrong to run on the pitch but that goalkeeper was wrong to throw them with such force. They were KIDS and he is an ATHLETE and meant to be a professional. He should have been arrested for assault.

You do gooders wind me up.
Would our goalkeeper done that to Hartlepool fans.
The answer is NO.

The goalie was the last player to get on the coach because he new that he was in the wrong and people were ready to have a go at him.

He was a complete and utter ****

To some extent I agree - and then I see Sheff Wed v Palace and Luton v Oxford (and think what might have happened v Luton last year) and then I think 'hey, with the number of clowns around, it's safer this way.' Shame.

Get real, those kids were about 12 years old.
their goalie was a f'kin disgrace

Chesney wouldn't have got involved.
He is a pro and Flinders is a ****

So its OK for a 12 year old to act like they did? Age is no excusr.

I was having a drink outside Stripes after the game. Around 8 guys in their 40/50's (my age) were waiting for the Pools keeper to come out of the ground, when he did they decided to launch their beer and glasses over him showering everyone around them with beer. Kevin O'Connor's wife, baby and her family were on the receiving end and Kevs' wife decided to ask these guys what they thought they were doing throwing beer and glasses with young kids and others around. Suddenly, the biggest guy in the group, around 6' 3", confronted her and was in her face big time, he followed her around, confronting her the whole time. A few of us tried to intervene but he still carried on, suddenly Kev appeared and this thug, realising who he had been abusing, decided to make a hasty retreat.

Whoever you are, congratulations on verbally abusing and threatening our Skipper's family, you know who you are. We don't need people like you associated with the club.

Whose the 'do gooder' on here sticking up for those little toss*rs? They were out of control, and deserved soemone picking them up and slaming them down like that. If they were outside your house, out of control causing you grief, (like they were on the pitch today), I expect you'd be dishing out the same treatment you say you'd give Flinders if he came in the Oak to confront you.

She actually went over to him and launched a full on verbal attack on him.
He was looking for his daughter !!

I tried with another couple of guys to shut him up but he would not listen. A woman launches a full on verbal attack on a load of blokes who think it's ok to shower her family and others with beer - what a disgrace, let's bar her from the ground.

My point was that this bloke really wasn't involved.
He got the blame for something that others were doing.
He was only looking for his daughter !!

Understand westwing, I did not know his circumstances but he refused to stop following her around and was very confrontational. I spoke with her for some time after the incident and she was really stressed, Kev tried to diffuse the situation to his credit.

However, it does not excuse the actions of these guys who should know better at their age.

The kids were stupid but they were excitable young children at a football match. They took it too far by invading the pitch but they were just stupid kids. Flinders is a fully grown man and a professional footballer. Do what he did on the streets and you're spending the night in a cell.

 

[westwing]

I believe what I saw.
This bloke is a regular at BFC and brings his family.
He certainly wouldn't go around picking on mums.
He is a massive bloke and doesn't cause people grief.
He was getting a right old mouthful.

 

[JumboJet]

They were 12 years old for Gods sake !
Get a grip.

I think they were older, (guessing 13 - 14)...still convinced you'd treat them a lot worse if they were causing you any grief, judging from some of your other posts on here.

My son, who is younger than 12 and was there today had no problem with them being slammed down....still I suppose he's a WWE addict, so looked like a bit of fun to him to see it in real life, at the end of a bore draw. Bottom line is stewards should have stepped in to assist, no-one wanted them on the pitch.

It wasn't "on the streets" though. They were committing a criminal offence. He was a heroic vigilante that prevented more crime taking place. That normally goes down well on the GPG (with some posters).

Just like when Jude Stirling smashed my teeth out for shouting
"Noades Out" against Luton a few years back !!

Sorry to hear that she was stressed.
Possibly he had the @rse ache after she had a go.
Anyway, hope she is ok.

Yes, they were breaking the law and so the police or stewards or anyone else employed to deal with it should have done so. But to see a fully grown man throwing 12 year olds around like that is disgusting. Especially for somebody who is meant to be a role model to kids.

You don't need to be employed in a particular job to deal with criminals, the law protects the general public when they apprehend criminals. I wouldn't walk past someone being raped and justify it by "well coppers are paid to deal with this".

I know I'm exaggerating to make a point, but I was agreeing with the point made earlier: if a Brentford player had done this, we would be saying what a hero he was. Get a grip.

 

[Brentford 4 Life]

No need for all this debate. End of the day kids got on the pitch and got thrown around by a pro keeper. Something to tells their mates at school on monday. They shouldnt have done it. Not sure what the stewards are their for if they cant keep 12 year old of the pitch FFS. On the spur of the moment the keeper perhaps made a bad decisions but to be fair he was trying to stop his team getting relegated so probably was a bit stressed and didnt need the distraction.
