Robins

Robins

They were extremely lucky that we didn't score a few more. Their keeper certainly earned his wage yesterday. Also, at least half of those 20+ "fouls" were nothing of the sort. The talk coming from Cov fans about our "timewasting" has some validity, but every team up and down the country does it, including Coventry, with their players going down like they'd been shot, every time they felt the breath of a PNE player on their players' necks.
 
Simple way of sorting the pitch invasions is to allow the players to aid the stewards rather than standing around. Much harder to lead the fat stewards on a merry dance if you’ve got 22 hacked off athletes trying to wipe you out

Whenever players step on the pitch there is a risk they suffer a serious injury from a tackle. Time pitch invaders faced the same risk

I bet for insurance purposes if nothing else, the players are told to keep well out of the way when some dick runs on the pitch.
 
Who gives a toss what Robins thinks or says. We should look more to ourselves and the fat we are playing very good but can't put teams away. That's should be a focal point.
 
It was a very close game for me and we would've deserved all 3 points if we held out having had the better of the second half but his comments are real shit imo
 
Like a number of managers do he's adapting a siege mentality.
It's basic psychology inasmuch as he wouldn't admit his team were lucky to get a point even if he privately thought that was the case.

Or maybe have a police presence, you know, like there used to be.
An don't start on about being it too expensive
 
There were lots of Police. After they arrested the lone PNE Invader ( I believe for assualting a female steward ) they cuffed the guy & led him a short way down the small tunnel near the corner, then read him his rights. This took Six policemen five minutes before leading him underneath.

Them celebrating like they’d won was a joke. 8 added mins is the reason they crabbed a draw thanks to their knob head fans invading the pitch. The League need to get on top of the pitch invading to the extent they deduct points.

Happening far to often in EFL this season

There were a few stood in the corner but where are they when these wankers start runnin on? They're nowhere, leavin it to stewards who shouldn't be havin to do all that.

You can't just ask for something and then try and shut down debate about it. The cost of policing is a massive issue. Firstly, there aren't enough police officers around for everyday life, let alone the extras like big events. Secondly, policing football matches costs clubs a fortune. Simon Jordan (who I don't often agree with) had a good idea of a transfer tax that goes straight into a football policing pot to be split across the divisions as needed.
 
Also, the league can get on top of it by tough sanctions. Games behind closed doors, banning away fans, points deductions etc. would soon see clubs sorting themselves out.

I couldn't care less how much it costs, neither could other fans who bring they're kids with them an wanna feel safe, it's not our problem.
Police cuts? Yeah, gone down well haven't they, although I don't often buy that old chestnut, after all, it's all about easy targets for them these days like when you really want them, they are nowhere to be seen.
Grounds were policed as well as can be expected back in the day with no talk about how much it cost. Everything has a cost, that's life.
Clubs an the police really need to get back to basics on this before someone is seriously hurt or even worse. It's just so easy for some coked up prick to get onto the pitch now an it's happening every other week.
