A classic "I'll get me coat" moment there...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Happened to Malcolm Stuart once didn't it? Asked his then missus to marry him over the PA at Old Trafford the day the Albion played up there.

She said no, although I don't think it was a public reply, to be fair.

Was about to mention that. I was there that day and no, I don't recall a public refusal.

Good old Malcolm. Happily married to a different lady these days. I kind of miss him waddling on to the pitch. As he got older, and the winter coats started coming out each season, he became almost spherical in shape. I loved it when both teams' physios went on to the pitch at once, and it turned into a race between tubby Malcolm and the (usually) whippet-like bloke in the opponents' tracksuit.

To be fair it is a cringeworthy way to propose. It should be intimate between the two after a nice meal and some wine not in front of thousands of strangers. ANY Man that proposes this way gets exactly what he deserves.

I miss him too. It was amazing how many times he would have a race with the opposition physio. He loved the reception he would get from the fans when he walked along the side of the pitch after he had treated the player. I might be completely imagining this but did he once trip up the opposition physio in one of their races?

Decent thing to do - say yes and talk about it later.

Someone should have told her that I guess.


He thought he was being romantic.

If you say Yes , just to play with the crowd is that not a sort of contract ? If she was uncomfortable with it, it was her right do do what she did. Anyway they probably had a making up at home and she may have said yes later, who knows.

He was on the pitch at the Amex for the last game, was he not? Don't remember the tripping incident, but I did enjoy urging him to run faster in the aforementioned races to the injured players

Utterly this.
Stupid git asked to look like a mug, she did the right thing jogging off, hopefully to sit with some new bloke

Serves him right for looking like Jimmy Hill

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Well he took a big risk in using a highly public environment in order to increase the likelihood of getting what he wanted. Unfortunately for him, he should've got his head around the consequences of getting the answer he didn't want well before the time. I think the young woman did brilliantly to be so honest with him - & more importantly with herself - given the expectation & pressure she was suddenly under.

Edit: It looks like the Cavalry have just turned up! Jimmy Hill indeed...

When I hovered over the thread title to read the first bit I thought it was about Dan Harding.

It is a strategy to put more pressure on her for getting what he wanted. I mean why on earth would you do that if you were confident ? I say fair play to her for not buying into it. Anyway we do not know the aftermath she may have said yes in a more suitable environment. If not, its best it happened then , than after marriage and kids.

She looks like one of my exes.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i agree with US here, he's put her in a really awkward situation there that isn't really fair

i don't get why people propose in public......what is the point?!
