As with the vast majority of clubs, I'm sure 99.9% of Accy fans would be sensible enough to leave the ref alone if they went on the pitch, but it only takes 2 or 3 p*ssed off fans to cause a major incident. At the end of the day, the officials only stay on the pitch at the end to shake hands with players/staff, and I'm sure the officials would have been more than happy to shake hands behind the scenes. The referee is obliged to speak to the managers after the game, after a 30 minute cool off period, and I'm sure niceties were observed then.
I was refereeing a few months ago when a player shoved me. I abandoned the game. The players weren't happy, but it was correct procedure, and I was fully backed by my County FA.

Just shows what level you referee at, and the level of your intelligence.
Rule Number one for referees is
"to enforce the Laws of the Game"
quite simple, even for you....
another rule
"ensure unauthorised persons do not encroach onto the field of play"
bit difficult when you have legged it.....
I really do not know what you point is really, except betting some sad pleasure out of registering for another club's website to show how sad you are...
we lost, you won, end of story.
Enjoy Old Trafford, although I suspect you will be sat at your computer... dont waste your time though, you cannot register for the Boro fans website... it is reserved for "person's" like yourself....
