Just seeing if anyone saw the pic of Egbo after a pitch invasion in England.  Just sucks that players have to worry about their safety now on the field after these high stakes games.

He made his PK in the shootout that Swindon lost.

I think it was part of pitch invasion where a Sheffield United player got pretty messed up by a fan, who has now been arrested. There is another incident circling now where a fan got in Patrick Viera's face and Viera wasn't having any of it.
 
Honestly clubs are gonna have to start getting punished for this, even if its being docked points. There are only so many gameday security measures you can take to stop thousands of fans from entering the pitch if they want to. And while two incidents don't exactly make a trend, its two more than you usually see in a season.

If you have ESPN+ you can watch the replay and see just how obvious it is that the Swindon Town players (who are all wearing yellow) were battling a mob of pitch invaders near the center of the pitch.
Let's Go Buffalo!!!

Egbo is at Swindon Town in League 2, so this is the third incident of its kind in England in like a week.

We are good enough to beat the best teams, and bad enough to lose to the worst teams.

No fans at rest of this year’s home games. No home games next year. Relegate them. Take your pick.
