Anyone who cheered on the moronic man who punched Jack Grealish is equally not a fan! What has football become when someone thinks its fair game to run on a pitch and punch someone? Shameful thuggery!— Natalie Sawyer (@nataliesawyer) March 10, 2019
Hope the lad locked in up in the cell has Sky Go so he can see Jack Grealish scoring ….— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) March 10, 2019

Grealish displaying far better aim than the mindless thug who ran into the pitch. THAT is karma my friends…— Jake Humphrey (@mrjakehumphrey) March 10, 2019
Disgusting cowardly attack on Jack Grealish, this man should not set foot in a football ground for the rest of his life, and expect a prison sentence plus anyone associated with him on CCTV should be banned also, this attack was obviously pre planned and condoned by associates.— Frank Sinclair (@FrankMSinclair) March 10, 2019
Grealish hits back — Chris Sutton (@chris_sutton73) March 10, 2019
