       Port Vale vs. Portsmouth
   DIR By: NRUReferee
       Date: January 27, 2024, 11:44 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Looks like an interesting afternoon for Craig Hicks - exhibiting
       skills that might spawn a new career in Rugby Union as a tricky
       winger.
       In all seriousness though - where is security that allowed said
       fan to get all the way across the field to attempt to confront
       him. If it wasn’t for both benches getting in there ultimately -
       it could have ended quite nastily.

       You have to love(!) the way the players just stood there
       watching and did absolutely nothing to help. They should all
       also be suspended for a game or 2...
       Hope the 'fan' and I use the term loosely is banned from all
       footballing activities for life.

       Perhaps the idiotic "jobsworth" action of David Spain some years
       ago contributed to their inaction.

       Really? Exactly your thoughts?
       I would suggest that it is 99.99% certain that none of them
       would have ever heard of the incident you refer to and 99.99%
       certain that the 0.01% who maybe did weren’t actively thinking
       about it while todays disgrace took place.
       Much more likely they just didn’t care??

       I also doubt that they will be aware of that specific incident
       but it is far more likely that they are told to never to get
       involved with pitch invaders as there is a potential to be
       dismissed for violent conduct.

       Most disturbing thing here is that apart from in the last two
       seconds of the clip you don’t see a steward anywhere and the one
       we do just strolls casually to the incident.

       Mr Spain was the referee who sent the Dorchester Town
       player-manager off for rugby tackling a pitch invader.
       While not on all fours with the dreadful incident at Vale Park
       today, I have heard similar to SuffolkRef about advice given to
       players in such situations.
