    Gordon Taylor, the chief executive of the Professional Footballers' Association, has called for protective netting to be introduced at stadiums behind the goals, corner flags and dugouts to prevent a "copycat" trend of objects being thrown on to pitches.

    He said: "It could have been a career-threatening injury if it had caught Rio's eye. There are certain areas that are more vulnerable than others – at corners, behind the goals and behind the dugout where substitutions are made. It's an option to consider. You wonder if there is a copycat reaction and that's obviously not good for players or referees.

    "It's the job of the PFA to safeguard the players. If we ignore this problem we ignore it at our peril. It's trying to keep a check on a pattern. People may think there are sufficient sanctions in place but if that had been a bad injury to Rio I don't think anything could have condoned that.

    "You wouldn't want anything to restrict the view and of course we aren't talking about fences, after Hillsborough. You've got to look at technology and see if there can be a way of protection without restricting the view. Safety of players and safety of fans is key."

    Gordon Taylor really is a useless cunt. Nothing like a PFA knee-jerk

    Wouldn't want a copycat?

    Throwing shit onto the field/at players has been going on for as long as I can remember.

    I imagine it'd have to be a pretty sight restricting net if it was intended to stop something as small as a coin.

    In Chile, they have nets up, with police in the stands, but that doesn't stop stuff being thrown. Keep it as it is, emotions were high on Sunday.

    Didn't know Stephen Darby plays for Bradford. Was a decent player whenever I saw him play for our reserves. Better than league two standard in my opinion.

    Worst player I've seen in an Arsenal shirt, would rather have Bendtner.
