Reds pitch invasion sparks probe

Liverpool are set to face disciplinary action from Uefa after pitch invasions during Tuesday's win over Chelsea.
Two men carried out the stunts for an infamous Barcelona-based website.

One man threw a flag into the face of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, while the other leapt into the goal area before being caught and arrested.
A Uefa spokesman: "We want to study the reports from the referee and match delegate and we will then take action if it is appropriate."
Liverpool are likely to be fined as they are held responsible for pitch security by Uefa.
The two people, who were due before Liverpool magistrates on Wednesday, are well-known in Spain for their pitch invasions and have their own website.
During Euro 2004, one member ran onto the pitch when Portugal were playing and hurled a Barcelona banner at the club's former player Luis Figo.
Like Figo, Mourinho was once a Barcelona favourite.
But he has become a hate figure for fans following the controversy surrounding Chelsea's games against Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League.

NOTE: Why were they allowed into a football match if they're that well known?? Just ban the b@stardos.

That will be our wonderful Ged Poyton and the stewards at Anfield. I work as a gateman at the ground and I am a season ticket holder as well, and Im telling you, most of the stewards are watching the game and not the crowd, its normally the police who intercept potential pitch invaders or trouble makers, but Poytons big fat salary should be docked as well as the stewards.

There was a link on another post that said the fan that waved the flag in front of mourinho was a barca flag. What would an LFC fan be doing with a Barca flag. Why should we be punished when it is unlikely that it was one of our fans that did it.
