2 months in prison FFS? They wouldn't jail a shoplifter or a smack ridden burglar/car radio thief for 2 months for crying outloud... For those with smoke bombs, I'd think long and hard about bringing them to Alty games again after this precedent has been set, the six year banning order is also excessive.Football seems to have a different set of laws to main stream society. Typical OTT headline by the BBC.

Break the rules pay the price no excuse really why take a grenade to a match??

[Mrs Warbouys]

The use of the word grenade is dubious for starters.I understand the implications of rule breaking, but this is a practise that takes place at FIFA and UEFA endorsed first class stadia across the world. It's the two months in prison and 6 year banning order that are ridiculous.He should have been dealt with, but do we really need a much needed and expensive to maintain prison place occupied by someone who brought somthing from a joke shop?

Working the Olympic matces at Old Trafford the amount of people that are amazed its
an arrestable offence to drink in view of the pitch..........I know what your saying

[Mrs Warbouys]

This is another beef of mine, how come people can drink to excess at soccer aid in their seats at old Trafford , yet can't at some daft Olympic women's game? It's very strange how these decisions are made.Surely it's got to be all or nothing.If people attended soccer aid them returned to watch the Doris's a month later it's not a surprise they are confused!

Soccer aid was not a match sanctioned by Fifa or the Fa so rules don't apply

[Mrs Warbouys]

Is Olympic football sanctioned by FIFA?

Yes when you watch the games at Old Trafford look to where the players are sitting and you will see the FIFA logo sign
on the right and its been put there for the Olympics. All signs at Old Trafford have been covered up with the London 2012 logo
even the Nike tick in the East stand has been painted out.

As an aside Pete, are mens Olympic Football matches "daft" as well?

A football World Cup in England would be far bigger than some toffs rowing a boat down in Eton/some birds rolling around London Docklands on a mat/some horse dressed up with eye liner....this bloke's head is so big I can't comment on it.....



The Beautiful Game is football, the World Cup semi-final in 1990 beats anything on show at the moment.

Yes of course they are, olympic football is totally pointless.It would hold more sway if it was made up of teams of semi pro players.Plus there is no Great British football association, it's bad enough having welsh clubs taking places in our football league and our cup competitions.

[York Alty]

mens footy has no place at the limpids.  the limpids are basically a catch-all bucket for activities that don't have any other coverage or meaningful world championships.

footy, tennis,cycling, boxing - all can be stripped out of the bloated limpids.

i saw on the bbc that the games have been going on for 6 days now, how come it feels more like 36?

This is undoubtedly designed to ensure that the poor spectators drink plenty of Coca Cola to wash down their McDonalds crapburgers.

You aren't half a miserable lot. Who cares about all this crap, it's just fun, people are enjoying it. I like Olympic football, personally.

The Olympics were great when I was younger. Now they're just another overblown corporate money making exercise.
