It goes without saying this is going to massively damage the league and that any pitch invaders who assaulted players should be facing criminal charges, however what happens to Tom Glover now that has been proven that he threw a flare at fans (his crime is almost worse and could have caused more serious injuries then the fans behavior). I honestly don't even think there was malicious intent, i just think he is incredibly stupid.
Is a 2 year ban acceptable, or should he face a lifetime ban? Anyone who tries to defend Glover is coming from the same school of thought as the response by the thug pitch invader responders, so saying that it was thrown at him first (even though is was just thrown carelessly on the pitch) is absolutely no excuse for throwing it back, when you don't have any idea who threw it in the first place.
