ChippenhamRed Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 ...they think there's a burger? http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Bristol-Rovers-boss-John-Ward-rages-ridiculous/story-19751631-detail/story.html#axzz2e1697MDy John Ward: "You don’t want fat people on the pitch do you? It’s about fit young footballers and when fat people come on the pitch, you just want to get them off quickly" Did he actually say this??!!! Remarkable quote! (apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere but it would take me the rest of the week let alone my lunch break to read everything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fka dagest Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 His opinion certainly carries some weight. It's an unusual angle from Ward - maybe he has point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I think John Ward has come across well in his post match. I just wishboth he and SOD had acknowledged that it was a minority of fans that caused trouble and that the vast majority carried themselves in the same way that players and staff did.

In the Net Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 In fairness, they are asked for their opinions within minutes of the game ending, so are probably just trying to make sure they say the right thing. I think that Wardy's comments did try to difuse it a bit, by adding some humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverface Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 To be fair to John Ward, he seemed to caught between a rock and a hard place when walking down the tunnel. First of all he was throwing his arms around having a right little paddy, but the next instance he was trying to clap our fans who were acknowledging him.

WolfOfWestStreet Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Speaking about burgers some kiddie threw what looked like a cheeseburger at the Rovers right back as he took a throw in (dolman side). He missed. Just thought it was weird seeing Joe Bryan dribbling round a burger bun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 He goes right up in my estimation if he said that Hé did,fatist barsteward also a liitle bit disturbing his desire to watch fit young men running about the pitch naked . Ok i made up the naked bit but you can see where it's coming from can't you? (Perhaps not Ten Minutes of Rough but the rest of you ) Only jesting TMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 He hasn't picked Kenneth any week this season. Clarkson looks like he has gone up a waist size since he left us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Obviously from a well to do family if he could afford to throw one of our burgers on the pitch..... This. If I'd have thrown the burger I would've run onto the pitch to get it back out of principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 He hasn't picked Kenneth any week this season. So his actions have backed up what he says. He doesn't want to see fat people on the pitch, therefore he doesn't pick Kenneth. You've got to give John Ward credit for his consistency. How close do you think Clarkson is to being dropped under Mr Ward's anti-obesity criteria? Perhaps he makes the players go on Wii Fit once a week - that gives you your ideal BMI. Probably tells him Kenneth has a fit age of 63 whilst Wardy's is about 36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
