Those men who gathered under the directors box to scream obscenities.
Those men who behaved so bad that the Burnley subs had to resuce children! Children!
Those men who reduced a hard faced 50 year old to tears are scum.
There is no excuse for what they did.
None.
The Daves own the club, they can do whatever they want with it. Like it or not.
What happened today was pretty much the same thing as trying to break somebody else's toy because he said something you don't like.
Please don't let those morons win! ;pray

Is it regime change at all costs? Our owners might be far from perfect, but if the disgruntled fans think they couldn't sell to worse, think again. There are plenty of owners across the leagues who spend no money and who have dragged clubs all the way down the leagues.
And interestingly these 'fans' behaving as they did today are so ignorant that they can't recognise how that kind of behaviour is going to make West Ham look in terms of attracting a different owner.
Why would any 'decent' wealthy owner want to take control of West Ham when sections of its fans act like animals, treat their fellow fans with contempt, attack their own players and hound out the current board when things aren't done exactly as they want them to be done? What a proposition that is for somebody looking to spend their millions.
Clueless, reckless and, while berating the board for perceived selfishness, completely oblivious to the implications of their own behaviour in terms of making progress, either with this set of owners or with presenting West Ham as a worthwhile investment for anybody else.
But do those other owners promise this and that and to such a degree?
They take out 12m in interest and loans and the yank puts in 9.5m interest free, perhaps he is the one
I don't agree with the pitch invasions but chanting about being unhappy with the board and the way they've run the club is fine by me.
Have you seen the goings on in the last set of accounts and the recent transfer window.
A small percentage behaves idiotically and that takes all the headlines and ensures the conversation is about their antics rather than the original grievance. It used to happen on almost every march for almost any cause in the 70's and 80's in that a march would happen, a sincere demonstration of opinion, and usually towards the end a very small element would start smashing things and fighting the police ensuring all the headlines were about a violent demonstration.
Oops, did I say that out loud.
;doh
I’m so angry about it, I didn’t agree with the march but respected it as at least it was peaceful and organised, today was a total embarrassment in my opinion, the people who ran on probably will get high fives and bought a pint from their mates but I hoped they get banned for life and realise they don’t represent me or many others! ;angry
Four people ran onto the pitch over three occasions. One of them got a good hiding on his return to the stand. Not neanderthals, not thugs, just plain stupid.
Around 2-300 gathered under the director box and vented their dissatisfaction. Not pleasant but a protest.
West Ham will get hammered for this in the media but, imo, no points deduction.
Noble will get a ban, and rightly so imo. If only he had shown that passion during the game.
To say it is nothing to do with the board is wrong. They thought they had bough the fans off with their meeting with the RWHFAG but misjudged the mood and so todays nonsense happened.
Not a good day for us but the club will move on. If it has got GSB a little nearer the door then good.
And yes we had flags flying pre game and at half time. ;wahoo

I'm sure Marky Mark would settle for just an apology
I think the law states that it's a red for violent conduct and it doesn't matter who it's against.
The ground?
The squad? Who would want to pay serious money for any of them?
But they spend money on transfers and compete at a way higher level than us
They bought the club by borrowing against the club some Man U formed their own club in protest and Man U have always spent more than us u can't really compare . The glazers take millions a season out of the club which they bought but they don't really own .
