A FURIOUS Coventry fan made his way on and off the pitch without ANY security intervention to rant at his club’s players during their defeat to Forest Green.
Amazingly, the seething Sky Blues supporter was allowed to chase after, scream at and even tussle with the players of the League Two clubs for 30 seconds with no interference from police or stewards.
Coventry captain Michael Doyle was forced to push him off the field at the Ricoh Arena during their 1-0 League Two loss.
It was only after he voluntarily climbed back over the barrier between the pitch and stands that a steward appeared to attempt to steer him back towards his seat.
It is a criminal offence to enter the field of play and pitch invaders face fines and stadium bans.
The frustrated home crowd booed their players as they fell to their second league defeat of the season at the Ricoh Arena.
But one particularly angry fan took matters into his own hands as Forest Green players ran down the clock in seven minutes of injury time.
Struggling Rovers, who are second bottom in the table, picked up just their second win of the season against Coventry.

Keanu Marsh-Brown struck in the first half to relieve some pressure on manager Mark Cooper.
Cooper said: “We come to a daunting venue against a team with aspirations to get promotion and we have come away with a really hard-earned victory.

“We defended really well.
“It’s a start for us, it doesn’t mater how you get it. It will give everyone a little bit of confidence now and show that they can compete.”
Coventry boss Mark Robins moaned: “I’m really disappointed and frustrated because in the cold light of day we have created a lot of opportunities to score and not done it again.
“We had 24 shots on goal but it’s a difficult period, so we need to make sure we stick together and don’t over-react and move on.”
