Idiotic behaviour of fans spoiling it for the majority - Sue Smith

My brother and I were loving it when we watched on television as Nottingham Forest fans invaded the pitch at the end of Tuesday’s exciting Championship play-off semi-final against Sheffield United.

I feel like a spoilsport just writing this column but as soon as we saw what happened to Billy Sharp – headbutted by a Forest fan as he stood contemplating his team’s penalty shoot-out loss – my attitude changed completely.

We just cannot have people coming onto the pitch any more.

I felt for the Blades after such a spirited fightback ended in defeat but for Steve Cooper to take over with Forest bottom of the table and get them to a play-off final is a massive achievement.
