HI REDEd73 , i was one of the guys who stopped to witness his outburst and to my embarrassment called him by exactly the same outdated and inappropriate name (apologies)....in my defense i did come a bit late to his outburst and all i could see was a quite intimidating (Tim from the office lookalike ) man  shouting at you and your children . Although im a bit disappointed with myself for my misjudged retort i came away thinking how amazing it was that so many of us stepped in to point out just how out of order he was .At the time  he came across to me as a man who gets his own way no matter what ,and didn't seem inebriated in any way . As you have pointed out we dont know his story ..but yes it was inexcusable behavior and lets hope he gets someone to officially warn him so .

regards to you and the kids 

Bit older and bigger than Tim from The Office i’d say, more like a very angry Selwyn Froggitt which anyone younger than 50 or so will have no idea what I’m talking about! The other thing I can’t shake is I wonder if this guy is a dad and if so whether he used to dish out this sort of abuse at home.

@Feral Williamsthank you so much for stepping in. The kids involved were both 10, I had accompanied my 8 year old to the loo at the end of the match

Don't get me wrong my kids can be buggers but weren't on Saturday. The bloke in question was sat behind us in the first half and had been quite amiable until Millwall scored at which point he flipped. 

It was the end of the half and the kids were getting a bit restless and he got annoyed and asked them to stop distracting him. Fair enough. I apologized to him and thought it was dealt with.

About 5 or 10 minutes into the second half he moved to different seats, so we didn't interact with him again until the incident in the concourse.

We were actually guests of CHSW (my youngest is life limited) and occupying their season ticket spaces. I wondered if his use of the word ****** was intentional (it's not a word that is particularly common these days thank goodness).

I've reported to the club and CHSW because I don't want their guests to be potentially in the vicinity of someone so volatile.

Thanks again to all who stepped in to help the to protect the kids whilst I was in the loo with my youngest.

 

I had no idea re CHSW which only makes it all the worse, glad to hear your kids are ok considering mate.

Good shout, I’ll do that tomorrow 

Sorry I missed the earlier thread. If anyone knows the guy that was dishing it out then they should do something about him. Really ugly behaviour and no place for it.

Witnessed something completely out of order yesterday straight after the game. Waiting for mates outside gents by the entrance to S13 I clocked some guy probably about 6ft, early-mid 60’s and big verbally tearing into a boy and girl no older than 6 or 7 the pair of them telling them how they’d ruined the game for him and calling them ******* retards repeatedly over and over. I clocked this and asked him wtf he’s doing at which point their dad came out of the toilets while I was berating the old guy so I told the dad what was going on by which point a crowd had gathered and the old guy started tearing into the dad too calling him and his kids the same thing and anybody else that gave it back by which time there were quite a few of us. At one point he went chin to chin with some guy then bolted off back to his mates still shouting abuse. 
I don’t care what the kids had done or how bad the game was but nothing warrants shouting the sort of abuse he was dishing out to kids. Proper nasty piece of work.

Anyone watched the highlights on the City site ?

I did! 33-1 for top two. Now wishing I’d gone the whole hog at 50s!

I put £20 on top 6 - 8/1, £38 on being promoted (limited to that amount) - 20/1 and a tenner on Cardiff being relegated - 5/1. I’ll be happy if any of those come in.

Totes agree with that, I’m excited by what he can do this season

Be interesting when/if a trans woman  enters their space, no ?

Just back home from the match - my views are:

These things happen

Naismith was in charge - a while since we've had someone that is in charge - brilliant signing

Sykes looks useful

Scott looked lost (grabs helmet)

Vyner was great (grabs body armour!)

 

Agree with all of this and would add although it was a brief-ish cameo I thought Tommy Conway looked like he’s going to make an impact this season

Those in hull - where you drinking before the game ?

We could have the same foul for our penalty today in this seasons championship and not one would be given!

Good win though and clean sheet. Looking forward to first game against Sunderland 

Or Hull for that matter

lets talk some figures regarding recent stadium construction.

The Brentford Community Stadium - 3 1/2 years to build. 17250 capacity. Total Cost 71 Million pounds.

Plough Lane - 18 months to build. 9215 capacity. Total Cost 34 Million pounds.

How much do we honestly think it would cost developers to build the sags a 28000 capacity stadium on the fruit market site?

How much would they be able to pay back in rent and how long would it take developers to get their money back?

Just look at the issues that Coventry have had with their ground contracts.

In the current financial climate it makes absolutely no sense for anyone involved.

 

Or if it happens luvvly jubbly!

This 

Regards the ‘yardstick’ that is Eze and Antoine’s value think it’s worth comparing stats. Eze’s breakthrough season he played 46 - scored 14 and assisted 8. Antoine has played 19 and in that time scored 6 and already has same amount of assists - I can see him getting close to similar goals and clearly blowing Eze out of the water with assists in the last 13 games. Antoine =

im not a cod fan but come on you cant blame him for the last 3 mins of bloody comical defending 

No but him being a suitable replacement for Wells is debatable when his contribution is largely total pish
