Shocking no place in football for that to happen. Not at any level.

What a complete bellend he is, and the fans who cheered him on when he hit Grealish too - there were plenty. I can't believe that the moron thought it was ok to do it, nor the Steward Team for letting it happen. Grealish is lucky the lad didn't have something he could use a weapon or didn't have the brain cells if he did..
I think the Villa squad and Grealish did well not to make that thing worse.

Wish I had put money on Grealish to score straight after the incident.
Big fine for Birmingham and prison sentence for the idiot who did it, they will want to make an example to stop this sort of thing.

Wasnt there a Brummy pitch invader at the same fixture in 2017? albeit after the final whistle?
think it resulted in a fine of £20,000 ...or maybe £200,000 (?) for BCFC plus a warning?

could’ve been a hell of a lot worse if he had a knife or something
deserves everything he gets....what a tool

I'm glad Grealish scored the winner!
kind of poetic justice that was
Early 2000s there was that guy taunting the Villa keeper as well. Jailed for four months and banned for six years.

Fans like that taint the general perception of football fans, 99% of which are decent people that wouldn't even consider entering the field of play let alone assaulting a player. This is why the authorities are so reluctant to allow safe standing and the police are so unnecessarily heavy handed. Absolute t**t.
Was there another incident in the same match today, involving Grealish and a Steward manhandling/ assualting him, requiring police to lead the Steward away, after Grealish scored the winner?
I agree that this should never happen on a football ground..... but the stronger message is this is unacceptable anywhere. He took a running hit at at someone from behind so they couldn't defend them self as they didn't see it coming. What a coward as well as being a total scumbag....

Dickheads like that idiot invading the pitch calls into question all the hard work that has been put into ensuring that we get a clear and unobstructed view from our seat in a stadium.
We have come a long way from fencing and moats to pen us in and I for one have no wish to return to the bad old days of caging.
Throw the f*****g book at him!

Don't forget the one who ran on after Enkleman let that comedy OG in from the throw-in - stood right in his face mocking him - quite a while ago, but another one to add to the list.
Question is at what stage closing the home end and/or points fines become appropriate - the instinct is not to do either as that punishes everyone, but at some stage something more has to be done....
Wonder how popular he would be if there was a points fine, which coupled with the FFP deduction they are also facing actually got them relegated??
Death threats send to dad-of-one after Jack Grealish assaulted on pitch
The bar where Birmingham City fan Paul Mitchell, 27, worked has already been targeted in the aftermath of the derby

A quote from a friend of his:
“His family are worried. We were all watching and no one could believe what Paul did. He’s loud and not the brightest but this was totally insane.”
No sh*t Sherlock, sounds like a complete tool.

Blues didn't cover themselves in glory yesterday with this and the vile tweets that went around about Grealish's brother who passed away. Not that a fan base can be judged on a few idiots.

Not so sure with some of the posts that appear on here.......
That aside, hit them hard. Shut the ground for 3 or 4 games, points deduction as well. Even the thick ones will learn.
not sure they would learn though. it’s the same as the ‘fans’ that repeatedly let off smoke bombs even when club threatened with consequences
'Paul Mitchell, of Cock Hill Lane, Rubery'
Yep - sounds about right.
Yep - sounds about right.
'During the court hearing, defence solicitor Vaughn Whistance said online threats had been made to Mitchell.'
Well shock, horror - you reap what you sow - mind you, how many keyboard warriors actually do anything in reality?
Mr Whistance said the pub worker's family had left the area "through fear that they would suffer serious harm or even death".
Got to feel a bit sorry for them - tainted by this tosser. The chances of death are perhaps a little overegged though.
He said Mitchell "cannot explain what came over him yesterday morning".
Because he doesn't have a real grasp of the English Language and can only grunt?
"His initial foolish intention was to just go on to the pitch and whip up the crowd," Mr Whistance added.
Oh - that's ok then, can't see any issue with that - what a marvellous defence!
Mitchell, a Birmingham City season ticket holder for 20 years, was said to be "very remorseful" and realised he had "brought shame" on his club.
Hmm, is he and does he or is he trying to get a reduced sentence? He's being sentenced at 2pm, should be interesting.
