Why can clubs not be punished for a pitch invasion?? Not saying they should be and not particualrly referring to this one game, but surely as that is technically a criminal offence at a football stadium these days then surely it is something the SFA can charge any club with??
Apparently SFA rule 311 is the only applicable one that the SFA can use! It shows us how backward and 'behind the times' our governing footie association actually is! I'm guessing this was set up long ago as a bit of a 'kop out' that places the onus firmly on other authoratitive bodies to mete out any punishment that is deemed appropriate, for criminal offences etc.
