Can't we have both on alternate weeks? I like Mike Ward and have no problem with the allegiance switch (just another half a million more to convert) although his columns can be a bit slap-dash and full of filler.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Go Harty, Go Hary, GO!




I don't mean I want Harty to go btw, I mean Go Harty! in a good way.

For Harty I mean.

 

[The Large One]

Wardy writes a bit like a cub reporter, I am afraid. Which is not necessarily a problem - we can't all be Dostoevsky. It's his D-List celebrity status that grates me.

At least we know Harty is an Albion-loving undertaker. And he does a lot of work for cheridee, but I know he wouldn't want me to mention that.

 

[The Club Press Officer]

This is the most sensible thing you have posted for ages Dave, I normally ignore your other rants but had to agree with you on this one.

Let's start a petition to Bring Back Harty

This, from the guy who is a Terrier?


I agree with Lush. Alternate would be good.

So the argus gets rid of the one person most fans can relate to and replaces him with someone who has been a fan for 5 minutes but seems to be the voice of the fans in everything including the match programme.

Incredible

 

[chips and gravy]

How long before we get the 'hilarious' Mike Ward doing the fans phone in?

I did enjoy his book, but methinks he should have left it there. His ubiquity is really starting to wear thin

 

[Ernest]

Mike Ward is just a glory hunting tosspot and his 'hilarious' new column will only be fit for wiping my arse on

 

[JJ McClure]

Harty is proper a bo Ablion man, whereas I simply can't stand Mike Ward's inane ramblings about his coffee mug or what he did at the weekend. I don't care Mike, Keep it to yourself will ya!

Totaly agree.
BTW, after the Oldham game I think, I was listening after to SCR when they had a report from the Worthing game. Think they won 2-1. The reporter was utter utter tripe. So much it was embarresing. I cant believe SCR or whoever have not got anyone better to report.

 

[Bozza]

If we are to burn Ward on a cross for previously being an Arsenal fan, should we also not burn Harty for previously being a Manchester City fan?

 

[Harold]

I don't buy the pathetic rag (always used too but it's been awful for years), but Harty is a top bloke and Blue and White right through. He might not have all the poncy writing skills but speaks plainly and with genuine (not new found) passion.

Mike Ward simply irritates me for some reason. Probably because I can't relate to him at all.

 

[Virgo's Haircut]

Gotta be Harty to stay.

Never forgotten or forgiven Ward for taking the micky out of the REMF raffle prizes at the memorial game in his "highly amusing" book.

 

[aftershavedave]

ward's appearances on scr are painful in the extreme, his jokey repartie is painful. growing his empire into the arsegas at the expense of harty is a very poor decision!

 

[Yorkie]

Does Harty want to stay?

 

[Lush]

Never forgotten or forgiven Ward for taking the micky out of the REMF raffle prizes at the memorial game in his "highly amusing" book.

Although I seem to remember Ian Hart, who was kindly drawing the half-time REMF raffle, making comments along the lines of "it doesn't get any better than this" during some of the "less-attractive" prizes, so I don't think we can be too precious about this.

 

[Tooting Gull]

Good point, Yorkie - though I hope it is his decision, his column was much better than some you read in local papers around the country.

However, can someone explain to me why Mike Ward is a glory-hunter? Arsenal are top of the Premiership and in the knockout stages of the Champions League. We are in the Second Division. Opportunist, maybe. But hardly a glory hunter.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

It seems I was one of the few who found the book vaguely amusing - although it's been downhill since there, the program column is (was?) dire

 

[Lush]

Give the guy a break. All he's saying is that he enjoys the passion and ups and downs of supporting Brighton more than the plastic Gooners.

Perhaps he should learn to say "no" occasionally, although if you're a journalist with a family to support I can understand why you might want to do every writing/radio/TV job you can.
