WATCH: Reading fans celebrate an FA Cup quarter final win the only way you should

Pitch invasion

Conan Doherty

Ah, not this again. Despicable. Barbaric. Downright bloody disgusting.

Fans dancing. Children smiling. People… happy? We didn’t agree to this.

This is a scorn in our society.

That’s the way it’s supposed to go right? After all, what if one of them had a grenade with them?

Reading advanced to meet FA Cup holders Arsenal in the semi final with a 3-0 dismantling of Bradford tonight and they followed suit with Aston Villa’s triumph at the same stage by invading the pitch in truly euphoric fashion.

They’ll probably cop a load of flak for it for enjoying themselves but it looked like pretty decent craic to us.

But, amidst all the chaos, we doff our caps to one steward who remained completely dedicated to his job. Even with the pitch long since invaded, he wasn’t throwing in the towel.
