And I'm bored of hearing all this "but it was just one idiot!!!" - watch the clip again and you see 95-99% of the fans cheering him on, laughing it up. A very sorry and sad day for the sport, and like I said, an example needs to be made.

Happy Jack got the best revenge, though.

Should Arsenal get a points deduction then?

Arsenal had their own pitch invader that did make a run to get to Chris Smalling and the security was nowhere in sight, so by your very own argument that should mean that Arsenal gets a points deduction which I don't agree with as you can't realistically control every fans actions.

Most of the fans that attend these grounds are grown adults and shouldn't need a Football Club to tell them right from wrong.

Wasn't this Birmingham fan supposed to already have a lifetime ban? Plus he actually punched him whilst the Arsenal guy just ran up to him and laughed in his face. Hardly comparable.

The Arsenal fan didn't hit Smalling because Smalling had spotted him running up to him beforehand, where as sadly for Grealish he didn't spot our fan in time which led to him being punched.

Also the argument that has been used against us by a lot of people which should also be used against Arsenal and Hibs was that the Stewards were slow to respond to the pitch invasion, and what if the fan was carrying a weapon?

My point anyway is just because there was a slight difference in how it all played out between Birmingham's pitch invader actually being successful in attacking Grealish whilst Arsenal's pitch invader failed to attack Smalling doesn't mean that the intent wasn't there from the Arsenal fan and whatever punishment we get Arsenal should also get the same.
