A group called Pussy Riot have claimed it was them.

Helps detract from the fact they're crap musicians.

Their music is appalling. And I’m a feminist AND a big fan of punk.

They are to music what that Lee Nelson stage invader bloke is to comedy

They are brave. You have to give them that. They're going to end up doing hard time for this. They've already spent a lot of time in a gulag. They might disappear this time. They are crap musicians, but music isn't their purpose. Protest against Putin is their thing.

They must have had help from the inside to get on that pitch. I'm sure the uniforms helped, but even with the uniforms they would have needed some form of accreditation to be down there. Also, the stewards stood shoulder to shoulder right the way round the entire stadium. It would have been nearly impossible for one, let alone four of them making it onto the pitch.

I smell another documentary coming.

Mate of mine (30's) purports to be a big fan of theirs. Did ask him would he be as enthusiastic about a bunch of old Red Army grunts demonstrating about their meagre pensions?

Definitely not if it involved them releasing the type of home movie that made Pussy Riot famous in the first place.

Now I'm intrigued. I have to confess I know next to nothing about them, other than were on some show once Singing naked and smashing things up. I think if I recall one of them tried to slap someone.

I heard on the radio today that 2 of the members got 15 years prison for the pitch invasion.

I just checked though, and thankfully I found it was 15 days. Quite a difference!
