Only seen it at the game looked to me as if he didn't actually know what he wanted to do and just kicked thin air in frustration, heavy fine and banned from the ground is plenty.
In reality it is not that difficult to get back into the ground even if you are banned unless you are extremely well known to Celtic Officials or Plod. Even this wee roaster could grow his hair long and grow some bum fluff. When it all calms down the ongoing problem for him will be his job prospects - Tesco may or may not bin him - I hope they don't tbh - However on any future job application when it comes to the Criminal Conviction section explaining you made a complete winker of yourself,ran onto a football pitch at a CL game and tried to kick/assault a potentially £170m footballer (and you couldn't even do that that right) and then were subsequently huckled,charged and banned from every football ground in the UK your chances of getting the gig are not going to be great to say the least.
The only way for the ground ban to work is for the boy to report to a police station at the hours of the game ,but I'm sure the polis over there have more on their plate. He is form the North of Ireland so the lad will be up against it from now on no matter what job wise - they tend not to forget incidents like this from a certain side of politics/divide over there. I know as my mum’s kin are from there as I’m sure many posters are as well.
He was being a roaster and should be punished but as per human nature the levels of that will amplify on who you speak to. He should be done in court and by the club with a ban - which he will get. The guy at ibrox 6 months ago was the same. Stupid.
I said yesterday about "everything he gets". By that I mean legally and within the confines of our courts. He was a major erse( I cannot fathom drunk or not) with what he did and deserves to get punished but job prospects etc. is of course a step to far for the young guy.
He never killed anyone.
He is human he made a pretty big mistake. He will get punished and in time we will all move on and so will he.

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/celtic-pitch-invader-from-co-armagh-receiving-barrage-of-death-threats-says-brother-36133155.html
A Celtic supporter from Portadown has been subjected to a barrage of death threats after he invaded the Scottish team's Parkhead pitch to confront Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, the fan's brother has claimed.
John Hatton (21) has been at the centre of a media frenzy since he slipped past security at the Champions League qualifier at Celtic Park on Tuesday and attempted to kick Mbappe.
He aimed a kick at the France striker but failed to make contact before being whisked away by stewards.
Pictures of Hatton's kick and then of him being marched off the pitch by security have since made national headlines.
But he has also been at the centre of a vicious social media backlash.
He admitted to the pitch invasion and assault at Glasgow Sheriff's court on Wednesday and is now due to be sentenced in October.
The 21-year-old Tesco employee has also been banned from every football ground in the UK.
Speaking from the family home in Portadown yesterday, Cillian Hatton said his younger brother had made a stupid mistake and that online abuse against him had gone too far.
"We don't want this, he's getting death threats and has his face in all the papers," he said.
"He made a stupid mistake, but you'll find out he has a clean record and is a quiet boy.
"This is first time doing something like this, that's not him.
"He's no other choice but to face the consequences, but all this hate directed at him is too much."
"People have posted our address online, asking people to come get and him.
Added Cillian: "This is all Celtic fans, by the way, this is what I'm disgusted about as we've been Celtic fans all our life."
Cillian said his brother was still "stranded" in Scotland, having lost his wallet, ID and money.
"As far as I'm aware he's written to the club and apologised himself.
"We're anxious to get him home, for his wellbeing and the wellbeing of this house," he said.
Cillian said his younger brother was currently studying youth work and had participated in cross-community work in the local area in the past.
"He's a quiet boy, no one round here can believe it, not even us," he said.
A second Celtic fan, 61-year-old Anthony Lavelle from Hertfordshire, was fined £400 after he admitted punching John Hatton on the head as he was led from the grounds by security.
Cillian Hatton said he took exception to the way Mr Lavelle was being "hailed as a hero" by some supporters on social media.
He added: "I haven't seen this level of hysteria for previous incidents at Celtic matches, sometimes with a large group of people involved.
"Now there's this one kid and everybody's jumping on him and it's not right.
"The wee fella doesn't know whether he's coming or going."
During John Hatton's appearance in court, his defence lawyer Dan Cameron said: "The incident wasn't viewed on television screens. It was 40 minutes into the match. He was taken by security stewards almost immediately from the pitch.
"The match wasn't disrupted for any great length of time.
"He had consumed a lot of alcohol and can only remember parts of the day."
On Wednesday morning, the football governing body Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic, charging them with a count of "field invasion".
Their case is due to be heard by Uefa on October 19.
In the past six years, Celtic have already been fined £160,000 for 12 offences.
The most recent took place in Glasgow when fans flew a paramilitary-style flag when Linfield visited Celtic Park.
A further sanction in October means the club could be forced to partially close their stadium for a European fixture.

Half time boxing. Only green boxing gloves are allowed. Charge fans to fight. Fans can bet on the winner. Good cash for the club.
Edit: Wrong forum.
Don't forget the walkie-talkies.
"I'd like someone to try and slap that carrot who ran onto the pitch, do you copy?"
"Copy fellow Tim let's get this going."

Edit: Wrong forum. They could do that in the toilets. Smokers vs those who want to have a pee. At the last home match two stewards were standing around doing eff all while you could barely spot the exit door through the cloud of smoke. Whoever gets lifted first will have the fine and court charges paid for by the club and KDS Fund for the Tough, and be rewarded with a free seasonticket. Loser- lifelong ban.

So if someoone does try hit you with a bat or something but they miss. What would they be charged with if not assault?
I have no horse in this old fella vs young arsehole race. Just curious. Depends who you're asking. If you're asking a lawyer, it would be assault. If you're asking some random off the internet, God knows.

As for those who would be quite happy for some stranger to give their kid a slap if they were misbehaving, I really hope you were being flippant - if any of my children misbehaved outside, I'd expect someone to come to my door and advise me of it, to allow me to deal with the issue, not for the person to feel they had some sort of right to administer a punishment. A bit like the guy who ran onto the field, the authorities are the ones who should be dealing with the issue (and appeared to be doing so), not some vigilante who then becomes a hero in the eyes of the support / media.

Not defending the wee dick btw. I think he was running out of puff and felt the need to something before being caught. There was more chance of him doing his hamstring in that damaging any player on the park

Why are you comparing children misbehaving in the street to a grown adult man running onto a football pitch and aiming a kick at an opposition player? The gulf in seriousness between these two scenarios is enormous.

Why are you comparing children misbehaving in the street to a grown adult man running onto a football pitch and aiming a kick at an opposition player? The gulf in seriousness between these two scenarios is enormous. I agree the comaprison to a child misbehaving is wrong - this was a (in theory at least) adult responsible for his own actions. But whether child or adult there is no excuse for a member of joe public dishing out slaps or punches not matter how angry they feel about it.

So if someoone does try hit you with a bat or something but they miss. What would they be charged with if not assault?
I have no horse in this old fella vs young arsehole race. Just curious.
Depends who you're asking. If you're asking a lawyer, it would be assault. If you're asking some random off the internet, God knows. In scotland it's classed as assualt right? Fair enough, you shouldn't be punished less severely for fecking it up. Wee rocket.
The old dude doing what he did in front of the cops is a bit of a brainless move but it's not going to have ramifications for the club the same way Mr Hatton's actions will. Doubt he's going to be the last one to lamp him if a severe punishment is given.

On that note- http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/celtic-pitch-invader-from-co-armagh-receiving-barrage-of-death-threats-says-brother-36133155.htmlA Celtic supporter from Portadown has been subjected to a barrage of death threats after he invaded the Scottish team's Parkhead pitch to confront Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe, the fan's brother has claimed. John Hatton (21) has been at the centre of a media frenzy since he slipped past security at the Champions League qualifier at Celtic Park on Tuesday and attempted to kick Mbappe. He aimed a kick at the France striker but failed to make contact before being whisked away by stewards. Pictures of Hatton's kick and then of him being marched off the pitch by security have since made national headlines. But he has also been at the centre of a vicious social media backlash. He admitted to the pitch invasion and assault at Glasgow Sheriff's court on Wednesday and is now due to be sentenced in October. The 21-year-old Tesco employee has also been banned from every football ground in the UK. Speaking from the family home in Portadown yesterday, Cillian Hatton said his younger brother had made a stupid mistake and that online abuse against him had gone too far. "We don't want this, he's getting death threats and has his face in all the papers," he said. "He made a stupid mistake, but you'll find out he has a clean record and is a quiet boy. "This is first time doing something like this, that's not him. "He's no other choice but to face the consequences, but all this hate directed at him is too much." "People have posted our address online, asking people to come get and him. Added Cillian: "This is all Celtic fans, by the way, this is what I'm disgusted about as we've been Celtic fans all our life." Cillian said his brother was still "stranded" in Scotland, having lost his wallet, ID and money. "As far as I'm aware he's written to the club and apologised himself. "We're anxious to get him home, for his wellbeing and the wellbeing of this house," he said. Cillian said his younger brother was currently studying youth work and had participated in cross-community work in the local area in the past. "He's a quiet boy, no one round here can believe it, not even us," he said. A second Celtic fan, 61-year-old Anthony Lavelle from Hertfordshire, was fined £400 after he admitted punching John Hatton on the head as he was led from the grounds by security. Cillian Hatton said he took exception to the way Mr Lavelle was being "hailed as a hero" by some supporters on social media. He added: "I haven't seen this level of hysteria for previous incidents at Celtic matches, sometimes with a large group of people involved. "Now there's this one kid and everybody's jumping on him and it's not right. "The wee fella doesn't know whether he's coming or going." During John Hatton's appearance in court, his defence lawyer Dan Cameron said: "The incident wasn't viewed on television screens. It was 40 minutes into the match. He was taken by security stewards almost immediately from the pitch. "The match wasn't disrupted for any great length of time. "He had consumed a lot of alcohol and can only remember parts of the day." On Wednesday morning, the football governing body Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings against Celtic, charging them with a count of "field invasion". Their case is due to be heard by Uefa on October 19. In the past six years, Celtic have already been fined £160,000 for 12 offences. The most recent took place in Glasgow when fans flew a paramilitary-style flag when Linfield visited Celtic Park. A further sanction in October means the club could be forced to partially close their stadium for a European fixture. Belfast Telegraph
oh, well, just as well the posters on here were considerate and willing to wait to hear the full story before handing down the death penalty!! As for those who would be quite happy for some stranger to give their kid a slap if they were misbehaving, I really hope you were being flippant - if any of my children misbehaved outside, I'd expect someone to come to my door and advise me of it, to allow me to deal with the issue, not for the person to feel they had some sort of right to administer a punishment. A bit like the guy who ran onto the field, the authorities are the ones who should be dealing with the issue (and appeared to be doing so), not some vigilante who then becomes a hero in the eyes of the support / media. Actually, Kylian Mbappe's mum is now en route to Belfast so she can knock on the door of John Hatton's mum to sort this out. Mbappe and Hatton will be out the back garden having an awkward game of swingball together this afternoon, while their maws have a blether inside.

Hopefully somebody will point the Portadown Pirate in the direction of help regarding his misuse of alcohol.

Funniest thread in ages. Are you thinking its funny or to be clear are you actually saying its funny?
The law says it can be funny only if you are thinking it but if you are actually saying it then that means legally it is funny in Scotland. If you even suggest to he/she next to you at CP that it is funny then by law it actually constitutes it is funny.

There in lies the problem. If you disciplined your kids properly then the poor neighbour wouldn't have to give them a slap. Personally, I blame the guy's parents and the schools.
