Juuvi soccer!

Tom Clarke’s 87th minute winner for Preston against bitter rivals Blackpool sparked ugly scenes which ended with a steward being trampled by two police horses and taken to hospital.
The West Lancashire derby atmosphere boiled over when hundreds of home supporters flooded the Deepdale pitch at the final whistle.
Simon Grayson’s side had booked their place into the Capital One Cup second round, but the significance of beating the Seasiders in the first meeting for over three years became too much for some.
A Preston spokesman said: ‘A steward was injured by a police horse. He suffered damage to his shoulder, and has gone for an X-ray.’

 Objects were thrown by both sets of supporters before six mounted police charged the pitch and seriously hurt the steward, who was taken to Preston Royal Infirmary with a shoulder injury.  Blackpool manager Paul Ince was apoplectic afterwards and feared for the safety of his players. ‘It’s an absolute joke,’ he fumed. ‘Who knows what could happen? It’s going to take someone to get stabbed or something else to happen before we’re going to listen.
‘I wonder if there are enough stewards there. You see enough situations in football where fans are hitting a player. We sit down at these management meetings and talk about these respect campaigns, but what about getting enough stewards to control people?
‘I can understand excitement from supporters but there are enough frightening things that have happened to players to clamp down on this.
‘Who are the stewards anyway? Are they Preston fans? If they are they shouldn’t be stewards. They just let people run on the pitch. It’s not just Preston – it’s football in general.
‘We need to knuckle down because you can’t have fans running on the pitch. I don’t care whether they win, lose or draw.’
