Bristol Rovers 1/2 Time Groundskeeper vs Kuipers shinanigins

[Joshski]

I can't believe what went on at half time, kuipers and GK coach are warming up just before the rest of the Brighton team come out before half time and the grounds keeper starts mouthing off at them and trys to stop them training! they carry on to the crowds amusement before he gets angry and trys to radio in for help to no avail, walks off the pitch whilst the brighton fans chant 'cherrio, Cherrio...' to him whilst El-Abd & McLeod hoof balls at him (well at least try to!)

I've seen some bizarre things this season, but that has to be top of the list.

 

[wizo7]

comedy gold!

I can never understand why they do that as I would have thought that if Kuipers isnt warmed up after playing for 45 mins he will never be and I wouldnt have thought that he would have stiffened up during the half time interval.

Just out of interest, is there anything in the entire history of humanity that you don't moan about or criticise?

Clearly there is a reason for them doing it, else they wouldn't keep doing it.

 

[Horney]

It was an extraordinary display of " jobsworthness "
Putting himself between the coach and FDM was hilarious, particularly as they totally ignored him. Then the glare over the shoulder as McLeod drilled a hard low one narrowly past him.
Encouraging to see that the jobsworth is alive and well and kicking, particularly in the Bristol area.

 

[Peteinblack]

This all took place in front of the away supporters' end.

Hearing over 600 Seagulls' supporters chanting 'Wanker' at the pathetic jobsworth was rather amusing. That's when he started walking away, with the FDM grinning.

Give a nonentity a uniform and they turn into bloody Hitler.

 

[patchamalbion]

this is the first thing i remembered after waking up! how funny,FDM just laughed and carried,shame one of the lads didnt catch him with a long ball,what a jobsworth wanker

 

[gruntage]

after he left kuipers walked over to the coach and punched fists with him whilst laughing, i think they enjoyed pissing him off!

 

[Man of Harveys]

This sounds BRILLIANT.

 

[LABHA]

FDM wore new gloves in 2nd half ,and wanted a feel for them, funny thing was when the Mr Jobsworth was walking off,2 BHA subs were on opposite sides of pitch, passing the ball to each other ( trying to hit him ),would a direct hit got the biggest cheer from away fans that night?

Darren Ferguson has his whole team to a quick warm up before the second half as he feels it helps them start the half quicker - anyone watching them at Withdean this season would agree that they were much sharper at the start of the half than we were.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

The irony is that Bristol Rugby Club also play there so he is getting wound up about Kuipers warming up for five minutes before the second half when they play rugby on that pitch every two weeks. I wonder what will have more impact on his beloved pitch.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

It doesn't matter what you think. If it helps Kuipers and our other keepers, I don't really care what they do during the half time break.

 

[GT49er]

What's with this "Groundskeeper" stuff? I thought they were called 'groundsmen'......don't tell me NSC is going PC.............!

 

[Southwick_Seagull]

"Who's the wanker in the shorts?"

 

[BensGrandad]

I can never understand why they do that as I would have thought that if Kuipers isnt warmed up after playing for 45 mins he will never be and I wouldnt have thought that he would have stiffened up during the half time interval.

Wind yer necks in this is just a view that I have I am not saying they should or shouldnt do it but I cannot understand the need and the logic behind doing it.

 

[ward is god]

Very funny - apart from the comedy shorts and stomach combo just who did he think was coming to his aid when he went for the walkie-talkie about thirty seconds before the second half kicked off? It was a football pitch for heaven's sake maybe he told Rovers not to mess up the goal mouth in the second half!!!!

 

[chez]

Who is the goalkeeping coach now? Is it still Tony Godden?

 

[Frutos]

Wind yer necks in this is just a view that I have I am not saying they should or shouldnt do it but I cannot understand the need and the logic behind doing it.

No need to try to understand it.

They know better than you or I what works or doesn't, and why they do what they do, so why not just be satisfied with that?
