In the thread below Padders01 defends the atmosphere in JS stand quoting the incident with
the Walsall assistant Manager Mick Halsall.
I also sit behind the dugout and I have to agree it was hilarious to watch him ranting at the Stokies also sitting there, and its true he was offering to "take on" all comers outside.
Stokies with a longer memory will remember him as a player, and also remember there is a history behind his loss of self control on Saturday. We had may run-ins with him when he played for Peterborough (I think) in the 90s.
What I don't agree with is reporting him, we all lose it at times, its a passionate game for Christ sake. lets cut him a bit of slack eh, after all anyone as ugly as him needs a second chance.
Cheers
Macari (season ticket "The boring" JS stand)

That's the guy Wayne Biggins went for at the end of the semi final win at Posh ;D
David Pleat said "Some idiots run on the pitch".......was no other than the suspended Bertie rubbing his nose in it.

Hi mate, I have got the email address from Rex to get in contact with the FA. I havent written to them yet, but i thought his actions were totally unacceptable. Nothing wrong with a good bit of banter but he took it way over the mark I had a look on the Walsall Offical site for his name but couldnt find it but I have it now. Thanks  ;D Where do you sit!? |

We may all lose it at times, but if it was one of us at an away match we would have our ID cards taken away.
Report him i say.
Cheers Bread.

Thats very true, I suppose in the current climate it is unacceptable, but I wouldn't personally report him, we weren't exactly angels ourselves, those of us "boring lot" sat behind the dugout...eh Padders01 ;D regards Macari |

Pricey, if you do go there you will be in the JS Stand.
Pipe, slippers are compulsory. It also helps to suck on a Fishermans Friend ( to keep you warm of course)

This Halsall sounds like he might have a bit of 'character' about him........get him away from football, we can't have characters, we need robots and morons My 100th post - doh, I wanted it to be a good one  ;D |

Confirms my opinion about Mick McCarthy, when he's on the box is genuinely funny and worth listening to, certainly when compared to the likes of Lawrenson,Brooking,Reid.

Good God. what memories. Wayne Biggins getting sent off for an altercation with the buck toothed one when he wasn't even playing.
That's show a level of commitment that none of today's namby-pamby could ever hope to match.
Peterborough away in the Autoglass, that was a good night.

So Big Dick (nice name), you think any members of management who are in the public eye, well respected by their supporters and some times idols by some are allowed to provoke trouble with supporters by inviting them onto the pitch for a punch up!!??
Yeah he maybe be a character, but not one I would like in my football club.
He was an absoutle disgrace

Slightly off the subject her, but does anyone remember wen we were playing West Brom at the Vic. Play offs i think.
Anyway, Gary Speedie (i think) threw a ball at a 8yr old lad in the Butler Street stand. I dont think he even got booked and the ball knocked the lad over.
Please someone tell me im not going mental!
I know it happened!

macari/padders/whoever,
Where are the best seats for abusing the opposition bench then? ;D
Can I have an idea of block, row and seat please?

It happened. But it was David Speedie, the best diver I've seen (apart from John Smith representing GB).
Bugger I've mentioned John Smith again

Block 15 is directly behind the dugout. So anywhere in the first 15 rows will do!! ;D

OK, I might be in there for the Wigan game (Adidas tracky bottoms, brown-ish fleece and red St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap if anyone wants to take me out- with a gun, not on a date)...one thing, are we allowed to sing in there, or is that generally frowned upon?!
??? ;D

Cant say i have ever sung in the JS stand, but shouting at the oppositions bench is a must  |

just wandering off the subject again i have to say that abusing the opposition bench sounds great fun. but lately i have been impressed by the atmosphere in block 19 at the last match and at the preston game it was fun. but on a bit of a sour note in the second half there was definetly one racial chant that i heard.. ???

Padders, if (and I don't know your view on this) we condone Wardy being prepared to sort out a couple of 'knob head' Bristol Rovers fans then it might be a tad hypocritical to get too irate about Halsall, admitting I didn't witness the incident ??? My point is that football in general has become 'sterile' and driven out the players who liked a 'laugh', Stan Bowles, Rodney Marsh, Gazza etc. We are in danger of losing the passion and repacing it with only petulance (Arsenal v Man City). As someone else wrote, can't we "cut the guy some slack"?  oh, and the name, from way back and has no connotations of 'prowess' (sadly) just a way of distinguishing between two Richards, me being tall (and fat) the other one being short, who were often in the pub at the same time. I was, naturally, Big Dick and he was, unfortunately for him, 'little Dick' ;D |

BD,
Don't think Wardy being confronted on the pitch by the two Bristol Rovers clowns is quite the same as the charming Mr Halsall offering everyone on for laughing at him.
I do agree that it is not a matter for running to the authorities with though. The best thing is wait until he turns up again and laugh at him even longer and harder. ;D ;D
