Dida never even flinched until the guy was well on his was running off. He no more felt he was in danger than I did sitting at home.

Not the point tho, some tennis girl got stabbed on a tennis pitch

Dida got hit with a ****ing firework before, regardless of his claim to be top wussy in the world, there is a bit of a history there.

footballers not known to be clever and i would imagine the guy was fully focused on where the ball was ie being in a stadium with 60k fans going mental for 90 minutes, i would assume he blocked that out and focused on the ball then some skanger appears in front of him :O

He chased him ffs. dont know about you but if I was scared of someone Icertainly wouldnt go chasing them. Use your brain. any gob****e can see Dida never thought he was in danger, he didnt flinch and he chased the guy, he didnt jump back and go cowering into a corner.

I believe they call it a court. T

he guy ran past him with his hands in the air , lightly flicked him a playfull pat on the way past and kept runnign with his hands in the air, unless DIda is the most paranoid person in the world, he knew he wasnt in danger. The guy was running away before dida really knew what was goin gon tbh and then he ran after him. Again not the actions of someone in fear of their life.

the firwork thing is hardly "history". Its a completely different situation and in no way connected.

If a random stone came over a wal as you happened to be walking by and hit you, would you spend the rest of your life in fear of any strangers walking in your direction?

Monica Seles was stabbed in the back.

If I was scared of someone who had just embarassed me in front of alot of people my pride might take control. And to be fair, by the time he had chased him he had fully determined that the lad had nothing in his hand.

Fact is, there is not one bit of viual evidence (the only evidence that there is) to suggest he was scared. He knew what the score was (literally and figurativly) and took the piss.

is brain took a few seconds to engage and do what he wanted to do in the first place (jump on the ground pretending to be injured)

Yeah, and she had a better record than Steffi Graf at that point, and was on course to become the most successful tennis player ever. Tragic stuff.

Have I defended Dida once? I think he should be punished. My point is that Celtic should also be punished. And not just a little fine that won't bother them at all. And in reality, the scumbag element of fans won't give a **** about their club getting a fine. Its the real fans who'd care, and those wouldn't do it anyway. But you can bet they'd care if their side ended up knocked out of the Champions League as a result of losing those points. Or weren't allowed host games at home. Its all about setting examples of offenders. Celtic's security was ridiculous. And they should be punished accordingly. Before another Monica Seles incident happens. And when it does I'm sure there won't be a Brazilian playacter there to take the focus off some real issues.

There is no way to 100% protect players. Short of having a 1:1 ratio of Police/stewards to fans, or completely segregating fnas with a big glass screen the whole way around the pitch. Even then if someone is crazy ennough to want to kill a player they would just do it somewhere away from the ground.

It's a tiny risk that all players face. How many times has something like the Seles incident happened (across all sports) . I cant think of another one. Thats not a bad record all told.

Spot on.

Do people really think any top notch stewarding outfit would be able to stop a person who really wanted to get on a pitch? If someone really wants to get on the pitch they will, unless drastic measures as quoted above were present.

DSB

No but I mean if there was some policeman running after him while he ran towards Dida you would have some sort of understanding. But this wasn't simply a case of just not 100% protecting him. It was 0% protecting him. It's been said before and I definitely agree that if this happened in Galatasaray people would be screaming holy murder.

A Dub in Glasgo

Look, an idiotic fan ran onto the pitch and as he ran past Dida gave him a tap. There was no malice, Dida was not hurt in any way shape or form. I doubt very many people would be screaming holy murder if it happened at Galatasaray! They would be reacting the same and calling Dida a gob****e as well as calling for the fan to be banned and charged with an offence (breach of the peace?).

All the arguments about what could have happened if the idoitic fan had a knife is absolute nonense. An idiotic fan with a suicide belt outside the stadium and blowing himself up when the opposition team bus arrives would cause a teeny weeny bit more damage than Dida throwing himself to the ground. Are you going to tell me that roads should be closed when football teams travel?

You are recommending throwing the book at Celtic (or any other team) based on what could have happened if the fan had a knife or a gun!

I don't know about that. It's pretty clear that the fan was just ecstatic and had no intention of hurting Dida. Judging by the comments on youtube from people all over the world that certainly is very clear.

I've said befoe a fine will suffice....they shouldnt be throwing the book at Celtic and i doubt they will.
But to say that celtic should NOT be punished in anyway is ludicrous, the guy not only got on the pitch...But he managed to get out and have a good nights sleep to himself also.
that to me is Awful security, and id be questioning the "fans" who let him back into the stands past them too.

A fine, a slap on the wrists and lets all forget abut this eh?
Celtic came up with a massvie victory, and its all been forgotten about because of this twat. (or maybe 2 twats if we include dida)
