COVENTRY CITY pitch invader Darren Kedzierski admitted he risked a lifetime ban to rant at the players.
The dad-of-three ran on to the turf in injury-time during the Sky Blues’ League Two defeat to Forest Green on Tuesday to confront his team.
Video of his tirade went viral as he grappled with skipper Michael Doyle before he was pushed off the pitch with not a single steward or police officer in sight.
Carpet fitter Kedzierski, 47, a Sky Blues’ fan since 1976, told the Coventry Telegraph: “I’d just had enough of the way the club is being run.
“I shouldn’t have done it, but I spent a lot of money going to Accrington on Saturday and spend a lot watching Coventry.
“I told them I’m fed up of watching this rubbish and explained to Doyle that the club’s in disarray.
“If I get banned then I’ll accept it, but it was the only way I felt I could vent my frustrations.
“I wasn’t abusive, I just told him I’d had enough.

“I’m tired of the players not putting in a performance. I’m sick of it.
“Doyle just said, ‘Please get off the pitch’.”
After being ejected from the stadium the police told him to report to a Coventry station next Tuesday.
The club are investigating how he got on to the pitch unopposed.
A Coventry spokesman said: “We have to have a minimum number of stewards at each game and we always meet that.”
West Midlands Police added: “His details have been taken and he will be interviewed in due course.”
