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. You're 21 year old fully grown adult child?

Funniest thread in ages.
Will never beat the Rafa thread. That was pure comdey gold. It's not though. It's the exact same people saying the exact same things going around in the exact same circles and never changing their point of view.
Can't wait for the game tomorrow so their righteous indignation can be turned in some other direction!!

You don't need to make contact for it to be assault. Don't think that's restricted to Scotland but a lawyer will probably be able to clarify. Also, re Fearghas's point, someone is alleged to have done it before and during their trial, until they admit it or are found guilty.
Ha. As I said before what in the eff? What is it with Scotland and the weird laws/concepts? How close do you have to be for it to be assault? I have just thrown a punch and a kick in my living-room, I aimed it at the guy in this thread who grows punches instead of throwing them, I did not connect as he is miles away but my intent to assault him is there, if the kick had of landed he'd be efft, it was a hardcore wheel-kick , but I missed, is that assault?

What were the polis and stewards doing when that bawsack was running up the pitch?
effing ridiculous.
Hope the carrot is banned for life. The steward he got past was an auld man and couldn't get over the hoarding from what I could see. He was at about the 18yd line before he managed it. 
Polis came out and stood in front of the GB.

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? Unless you're Neil Lennon at Tynecastle

That's another thing. Why are old folk employed as stewards? What chance have they got of huckling a young fella in his prime? It is the same problem in B&Q. They get robbed far more often than Homebase because they employ loads of effing coffin dodgers. The youngsters are well off their mark before the old fella even gets to the front door, and his angina kicks in. B&Q deserve all they get if you ask me.

Whilst the young lad has behaved like a tool and will no doubt pay fairly severe consequences for his actions why anyone would 'hail as a hero' the bold Mr Lavelle is completely beyond me.
A 61 year old has been on this earth long enough to know the difference between acceptable and non-acceptable actions and this was most certainly the latter. Mr Lavelle sounds as much of a tool to me as the youngster

Whatever the charge a plea of 'not guilty by reason of insanity' should see you right.
