This is what I thought. I remember pitch invasions from when I was a kid, and it was all just a nice celebration or chance to run on the pitch. I don't remember there being any kind of threat to any of the players. Now it's totally different.

It's ridiculous that players should be subject to physical abuse like that, without any police or stewards intervening. They're just doing their job. Half of them will be at a different club next year anyway. I'd hand out lifetime bans for anyone who does stuff like that. No excuses.
