Danger of goalscorers getting booked when opposing fans decide to kick down the barriers.

The goalscorer could have avoided a booking by not attempting to goad opposition fans during a derby match.

However you want to paint it, he knew exactly what he was doing and the possible consequences. Definite booking, and very silly so early in the game.

After he scored, he stood in front of the Airdrie fans in the Kop with his hands in the air. Happens in stadia around the country most weekends, the difference being our lego brick stand was easily broken through by a group of middle-age, Stone Island wearing mentalists who got onto the pitch (Gemmill had ran away by this point after realising they didn't see the funny side of his antics).

Only a booking because of the rubbish stand and for causing safety issues. If it had happened in the Premier League in front of an all-seated stand then it would be a non-issue.

Players also get booked every week for over celebrating/winding up fans too. You do it, you run the risk so he's only got himself to blame. And after all, he's a d1ck so what reaction was he expecting?

So is it for the opposition supporters to decide whether a player gets booked? And if so, won't that incite all sets of fans to start a riot every time a goalscorer glances at them?

No it's up to the referee and he rightly decided Gemmell didn't just glance at the opposition supporters.

Interesting that you question the supporters who toppled the barrier, yet not the mentality of a professional footballer who runs to the opposition fans after scoring to give it the big "come on" rather than celebrating with his own fans and players. Gemmell, as has been said, only turned tail after he realised he could be in a bit of bother. The Beast, eh, what's he like?

This is part-time football, not Green Street, and Gemmell knows it. He does that sort of thing after just about every goal he scores. Why is it only a booking when the #SIWMs act up?

You're right. He should be booked most weeks by the sound of it. Another example of poor refereeing in the lower leagues.

As the Rovers fan said earlier, had your owners not been greedy, in an attempt to milk the Monklands cashcow, and your "stadium" not fallen to bits, Gemmell would have got away with his "come ahead" attitude. As it turns out, your "stadium" fell to bits and the Beast tucked his tail between his legs, then got booked for his rush of blood.

Nae luck.
