I thought these things were supposed to be warm downs.

Dirty Chelsea, using their groundstaff to rub salt into the wounds of United players. I really f***ing hope United have the last laugh.

Errr..... didn't the report say the Manure players refused to move on, when asked?

Errrr... I was under the impression players are usually entitled to a warmdown without some cockney twat trying to LAMP them!

It's Chelsea's ground so when they want them off CHELSEA property they are entitled to ask them to move on. Typical arrogance of anyone associated with Man Utd.

Most clubs allow players of opposing teams to warm down after a game. It's important that players get the time to do it for their own fitness. Where are they meant to do it? On the coach/train/plane home??

I'm sure no other clubs have this trouble at Stamford Bridge.

If Mr. chelsea groudstaff wants to do his job properly, he has every right to ask the move. It's not as if the whole squad was out there.

Can I just ask you one quick question? And be totally honest...do you dislike Man United?

 

[woodster]

as I understand it there are fairly strict FA rules regarding warm up and warm down periods. Clubs can be reported and fined for breach of said rules.

i am sure it wont be the first time that a bit of winding up occurred as they trotted past. quite funny actually. fear for the staff involved though.

If anyone sees anything on You Tube get it on here; I reckon that big lump chins Evra. (Big unemployed lump very soon).

Yeah can't stand them, especially after what Whiteside did to Ramsey in front of me and a few others.

 

[logan89]

although the Man Utd players involved didn't actually play, so why do they need a warm down?

 

[The Oldman]

Yeah can't stand them, especially after what Whiteside did to Ramsey in front of me and a few others.

Quite correct. Whiteside should never have stayed on the pitch, Never liked Manure since.

No, no, that's not true. Players are able to 'warm down' courtesy of the ground.
Ground Staffare there doing a job for the club or ground-owners.
If they, in their duties or responsibilities, decide and require that players move along - then they should jolly-well MOVE their arses like they were asked to do.

It's like a concert hall having a band there, and the roadies or band decide they'll have a little play with the instruments after the show is finished. It might happen, but if the hall janitor prefers that young Noel Gallagher quit it and unplug so he can get his job done, I imagine he's entitled to ask for that.
The chances are, some of these players (Prem especially) think themselves important and 'require' that everyone else (being 'minions') stand back in awe of them.
The ground-staff have a job to do as well! When they are doing their job as paid to do, they're the 'important' ones and have every right to carry out their work.

When we hosted Southend I recall a couple of their sub players wellying the ball at each other as 'practice', while children and elderly were still clearing the South Stands. What should happen; let them carry on, 'til they miss the ball and have it hit someone on the head at full belt - or ask them to desist from that activity?

Granted, there may be a different side to this story, we are no more educated to the details than everyone else who wasn't there. But looking at those pictures, I hardly think that a poor innocent united player was unduly attacked by groundstaff!
