For punching a Reading player. He punched another one for good measure on the way off!

Not quite accurate. Sent off for an elbow 10 seconds after coming on as a sub. Then he punches the same opponent as he walks off!

He must be a lawyer, because he represents so many people in this action.

Scene at the Madejski Stadium, just after Neil Warnock realises Gillespie has been sent off within ten seconds of coming on

As good a time as any to remind everyone that an anagram of "Neil Warnock" is "Colin Wanker"

Funniest thing was Warnock trying to defend it on Sky Sports News.
Very difficult to explain, but basically he throws his arm back and says *something like)
"well - that's one of those...."
Throws his arm back again (I couldn't tell the difference)
"...and that's one of those, he did one of those"
Throws his arm back again
"..you see these all the time, not as bad as the other type"
Then says "he deserved to get sent off anyway.."

I LIKE Neil Warnock.
He's an honest guy, yes he winds the hell up out of some people, but usually only ones who deserve it, like clubs that think they're bigger than they are (Leeds?).
He's a passionate bloke, I'd much rather listen to him shouting and swearing than someone like Glenn Roeder, the human equivalent of wallpaper paste, droning on, or Sam Allardyce/Mark Hughes rolling out the same tired old lines every week.
There are few managers I can be arsed to listen to in press conferences. Steve Coppell is one of them, Stuart Pearce another, and Warnock fits into that category. Whereas I don't know why even the press bother to turn up to hear other managers speak, because their responses are exactly the same, week after week:
Wenger: It wasn't our fault because the referees didn't protect my players against the bullies.
Hughes/Allardyce/Moyes: It wasn't our fault because the referees favour the big clubs, and these decisions are costing people their livelihoods [yeah right]
Redknapp: plucky old Pompey, well you know, we're struggling on with our meagre squad against all odds, well you know, and I need another ten signings by the end of the week, you know, and it's a miracle we're here, you know, and it's all my doing, i'm a human messiah in fact. But even I still need another ten players.

He loves Brighton as well. The last time we played them at Brammal Lane he devoted his programme notes to us.
Apparently his love of Brighon is due to scoring his best goal against us (I'm sure many players can say a similar thing) and his liking of the city as a destination.

Agree with all that.
Plus he looks a bit like my old nan, who I loved to bits.

Agreed. Agreed.
And, as much as I hate to say it - I have time for Pardew too.
There's a common theme of 'honesty' here, isn't there?

Maybe Wilkins should try playing the honesty card a few more times

Does this look familiar? It seems to resemble the oft-banned and removed "other" Reading picture which appears here on a regular basis.
"Within 10 seconds of coming on as substitute Gillespie was heading back down the tunnel after being shown a red card by referee Mark Halsey for throwing an elbow in the direction of Hunt.
As Gillespie headed down the tunnel he threw another punch at Hunt, and as tempers rose, backroom staff from both sides became involved.
Reading coach Downes was sent from the touchline for shoving Blades' boss Warnock, who followed him to the stands.
A football match eventually broke out again......" Worth the admission fee to see the toys going everywhere.
