I haven't actually aired on opinion on what happened that day, what caused it, why it happened etc - yet I'm being 'shamed' for not acting upon something that happened within a hypothetical situation you put together. Brilliant.
To try and answer your question(?) though, no son or mate of mine would be that fkn stupid as to lose control of their senses and venture onto the pitch to confront Salford fans, no matter how much they were goaded.
See Barham's post, that sums up my thoughts on the whole thing.
You seem very naive about the incident. I actually went on the pitch to shake hands with some of the Rovers players I thought deserved on for their efforts, Sio being one. Yet had quite a few Salford fans goad me and ask me if I wanted some. I was sober and in a correct frame of mind to politely decline. I saw fans fighting on both sides, however if the Salford fans didn't goad fans in the east stand or invade the pitch at all, I'm pretty sure the rovers fans wouldn't have bothered with any trouble.
The Salford fans started the whole episode, FACT. And I can relate to the Rovers supporters who stood their ground and fought back, calling people morons or idiots for a load of handbags is laughable.
If you watch the you tube videos, you can clearly see Rovers fans defending themselves especially the 2 ladies who were defending their teenage kids.
There has been plenty of trouble at rugby matches over the years I've been going not on the scale of football but I've had trouble at Warrington featherstone Castleford Hull Leeds Salford Widnes Leigh
Well you will insist on waving your booty and gesticulating to the home fans

I didn't use either word, but if you thought going onto the pitch was the right thing to do after the match, then yes, you're a moron.
And as for naming and shaming? People need to let the Humberside Pigs do their own dirty work, concentrate on smack heads robbing 80 year olds, or mucky old men interfering with kids, I notice the Manchester Met police haven't given it a minutes thought, that's because they have real crimes like knife and gun crimes to worry about.
It really narks me off when they beg for peoples help, when if you are being burgled (either turd or house) or robbed, they send a PCSO around a week after the incident. Its not a case of "grassing" someone up, just a case of mind your own business.

Aye I am a right moron, where were you when your scummy lot were tearing down the sticks at Hudds, or invading Craven Park, or goading Wire fans last season??
I went on the pitch to console a few Rovers larkers who were either crying or had head in hands.

ATEOTD no one but players and club personnel should be on the pitch even if it was to console players. The Rovers fans may have been goaded but its they who are at fault for responding. If no Rovers fans went on the pitch then there would be no mug shots in the papers. I personally would hope all decent rovers fans would name and shame these people. If they are innocent then there is nothing to worry about.

Yes, you are a right moron. However noble your reasons for going onto the pitch, you're still a moron.
I'd tell my son or mate to walk away, piling in sorts nothing. Most of what happened happened between people who wanted a fight, either through drinking too much, being pee'd off with the situation or they're just that way inclined.
He/she started it / it wasn't real fans of our club ect, are playground excuses. If a Salford fan had windmilled into the east stand then fair enough but if it was a bit of goading then people need to grow up. I've been supporting rovers for long enough now to know we have a minority of Richard's (and Richardesses) who support our club and are itching for any excuse to have a go.
The situation was embarrassing, the defending of it is even worse and bringing other clubs past misdemeanours into is it at best a straw clutching deflection.
nobody is defending thuggery. proven cicumstances will dictate wether they are guilty or not ,, not someone who assumes drink was involved, your opinion is different to mine so leave it at that

It always amazes me how brave people are infront of a computer screen. A moron wouldn't rake in the salary I do, believe me. Either pipe down or pop in robins nest pre Rovers matches, then you will see what this moron looks like. opinions are opinions, but its time to draw the line with the rhubarb now. My point is that of Humberside Police actually solving incidents by using their own resources and highly inflated salaries. We all pay over the top council tax so go Police, instead of Joe Public doing their dirty work. (This is different with murders, rapes, nonces etc)
