I don't watch much GAA but aren't pitch invasions quite common in it, especially finals? How is it viewed in the GAA?
In the GAA pitch invasions are pretty common at club level & perhaps county level at 'lesser' grounds. Generally they are fine & everyone is pretty well behaved (I'm sure there are exceptions). There isn't the same mentality in most GAA fans compared to the Premier League fans. For instance I would not expect a GAA fan to start giving the opponent manager abuse straight into his face after a match.
However once you get to finals, especially in Croke Park pitch invasions are a thing of the past. They cover the 1st 4 rows of seats to discourage people entering & have a big screen in front of Hill 16.
