evening, we covered elements of this story yesterday on sportsday. the increase in supporter violence and disorder at football matches. last night there were more incidents, pitch invasions at goodison park and vale park that saw clashes with players and club staff. our sports correspondent fan disorder and violence has marred this has been a really difficult week for english football. earlier in the week _ week for english football. earlier in the week we _ week for english football. earlier in the week we had _ week for english football. earlier in the week we had that - week for english football. earlier in the week we had that horrible | in the week we had that horrible incident involving the sheffield united player, he had to have stitches after he was head butted by at nottingham forest fan who is subsequentlyjailed. last night we had that pigeon veil invasion and evidence lead to a vast majority of the fans did that pitch invasion in the fans did that pitch invasion in the spirit of celebration. all everton who just secure their

partnership survival. it was at one incident involving palace manager patrick vieira, he seemed to be taunted by a palace fan and then patrick vieira seems to kick out at that supporter before he was led away. questions about security. once again, that is raise the question about pitch invasion, to really increase the spotlight on why so many of them are happening. these are the thoughts of the fans outside goodison park today. when they are stacked targeted vitriol towards the opposition, palace players and certainly i've heard reports of a fan running towards patrick vieira, which is not really what you want to see in a _ football game. on the whole, they were just getting on the pitch you - know, to show their support, i the relief and the joy that we've managed to stay out. i feel really good, no trouble, really, really good. the fans are a loving, caring. we heard from a number of managers in the premier league going into the final weekend, in the premier league going into the finalweekend, pep in the premier league going into the final weekend, pep guardiola are

saying things are getting dangerous, yet spirits are high but use the word dangerous. swindon players verbally abused after their playoff semifinal at port vale last night as well. , , u, semifinal at port vale last night as well. , , ., ., ., well. yes, this came after port vale won that playoff _ well. yes, this came after port vale won that playoff on _ well. yes, this came after port vale won that playoff on penalties. - won that playoff on penalties. again, the fans swarmed onto the pitch but afterwards the swindon manager said his players had been verbally abused, they been physically abused, they've been spat out. it was fairly unsavoury looking scene. one swindon player has tweeted a picture of himself and on the picture he tweeted it you can see a scratch which he said was the result of what happened after the final whistle. so some pretty unpleasant wicking scenes there. these were the thoughts of the port veil chair, that's the photo that you can see that the swindon player tweeted last night, with that scratch you can see that on his nose

was reaction from the port veil chair on what happened last night. this is an issue that clubs and police — this is an issue that clubs and police have to work together on. i think_ police have to work together on. i think it's — police have to work together on. i think it's an — police have to work together on. i think it's an industry issue, probably— think it's an industry issue, probably in other sports as well but i probably in other sports as well but i focus _ probably in other sports as well but i focus on _ probably in other sports as well but i focus on the football. we've had a season_ i focus on the football. we've had a season of— i focus on the football. we've had a season of this growing and now it's culminated in where we are now. we have to _ culminated in where we are now. we have to address it, we have to address— have to address it, we have to address it. _ have to address it, we have to address it, all the clubs have to address— address it, all the clubs have to address it — address it, all the clubs have to address it together with all the police forces.— address it together with all the olice forces. , , . ., , ., , police forces. these pitch invasions with two which _ police forces. these pitch invasions with two which part _ police forces. these pitch invasions with two which part and _ police forces. these pitch invasions with two which part and parcel - with two which part and parcel sometime this time of season easier said than done ofjust stopping them. said than done of “ust stopping them. , ., , ., ., them. the question is what do the authorities do? _ them. the question is what do the authorities do? the _ them. the question is what do the authorities do? the football- authorities do? the football association have issued a statement, they say they're very concerned and what they call anti—social behavior. they say these incidents are completely unacceptable and of no place in the game. interestingly, they put the onus very much of the clubs to sort it out. they say clubs play a vital role in addressing this issue and they need to address pitch invasions from occurring. this seems

to be part of a broader trend in increased disorder. we saw scenes at the euro final in wembley last year and sends the lockdown last year police say that crowd disorder, fan disorder has been on the increase. at the end of football policing say that pitch invasions are now posing a real risk. folks may talk about some sort of investment about how to keep people off the _ investment about how to keep people off the playing field without erecting face to my fences. it sucked — erecting face to my fences. it sucked make it difficult for people to get— sucked make it difficult for people to get on— sucked make it difficult for people to get on the fence and it can be quite _ to get on the fence and it can be quite effective and should you need to evacuate people on the pitch. it stopped _ to evacuate people on the pitch. it stopped. various such is what i mentioned, not fences, there needs to he _ mentioned, not fences, there needs to be stations from people who go on the pages _ to be stations from people who go on the pages and the need to be an understanding between fans, players, dubs. _ understanding between fans, players, clubs, everyone that the pitch is for the _ clubs, everyone that the pitch is for the players. clubs, everyone that the pitch is forthe players— for the players. there is no doubt this is becoming _ for the players. there is no doubt

season in terms of europa league final, scottish league final, let's not end the season on a downer. if they don't win on saturday you are looking at the season and it's actually a disappointing season which is ridiculous considering they were in europa league final. as a football player you want to let win thing. they want to win the night which is tough for them but they want to finish the season by winning the scottish cop. imilli want to finish the season by winning the scottish cop.— the scottish cop. will both sides beat their city _ the scottish cop. will both sides beat their city rival _ the scottish cop. will both sides beat their city rival in _ the scottish cop. will both sides beat their city rival in last - the scottish cop. will both sides beat their city rival in last four i beat their city rival in last four to reach the finals goes? rangers baiting celtics, hearts defeated and supporters on both sides will feel their teams efforts the season are deserving of a trophy. but as always, there can only be one winner. let's head to hampden park because jane dougal is there for us. you were in seville, witnessed as excruciating evening for rangers against frankfurt. you just wonder how draining that willowbend, whether

to finish their season by lifting a trophy. don't forget the fans either, they want to do it for them. those fans that travelled all the way to seville, 100,000 of them were so well behaved, there were no arrests in seville. they will want their home fans here at hampden to watch them lift a trophy for the end of the season. tina watch them lift a trophy for the end of the season.— of the season. two teams in this, let's not forget _ of the season. two teams in this, let's not forget that. _ of the season. two teams in this, let's not forget that. hearts, - of the season. two teams in this, let's not forget that. hearts, it'sl let's not forget that. hearts, it's a third final in four seasons for them, they are dual win.- a third final in four seasons for them, they are dual win. yes, it's aood to them, they are dual win. yes, it's good to be _ them, they are dual win. yes, it's good to be a _ them, they are dual win. yes, it's good to be a fascinating - them, they are dual win. yes, it's good to be a fascinating match, i them, they are dual win. yes, it's i good to be a fascinating match, the last time the two sides met were only last weekend. the final game of the league at tynecastle and rangers beat hearts 3— 01. a lot has happened since then. despite that result, hearts and had a cracking season under their manager robbie nielsen. he got them promoted so well, lassies and from the championship in the first season back they finished in third place behind the old farm. of course they get to the scottish cup final. for

him to have his team lift that trophy it would be a very fitting end to the season for him. hearts last one this trophy in 2012, even longerfor rangers, it last one this trophy in 2012, even longer for rangers, it was 2000 since they last won the scottish cop. both teams will really want to get their names on that trophy having not wanted for a decade. we know that both clubs have sold out, their allocations of hampden so we can guarantee a good atmosphere, maybe can't guarantee good weather. shame about that. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. three members of the new zealand team have tested positive for covid—19 ahead of their test series against england. fast bowler blair tickner, batter henry nicholls, and bowling coach shanejurgensen are in isolation. the first test begins onjune 3 at lord's. mark cavendish finished third on stage 13 of the giro d'italia, beaten out in the sprint finish by arnaud demare, the frenchman making it a hat—trick of victories at this year's giro. spain'sjuan pedro lopez retains the leader's pinkjersey after finishing safely in the pack.
