Handbags off the pitch

[Ringmer Seagull]

Apologies if fixtures, but did anyone see what happened when it seemed to briefly kick off in the second half between the two benches ? . It looked like one of their lot got sent off and from what I could see one of our Spaniards was getting rather excited.

Davies re: bench altercation: "No comment". #bhafc

Andy Naylor ‏@AndyNaylorArgus 4h
Plenty of "no comment" from Davies, including what he made of #bhafc. "None of my business."

Billy Davies objected to being filmed during the game. Sent an accomplice to tell the cameraman and then told him himself. #bhafc

 

[um bongo molongo]

Was sat just behind the dugout. Kicked off at the sending off with the forest bench not happy with oscar waiving an imaginary card. Oscar an oasis of calm in the midst, but making the mistake of trying to reason with morons. Ended with someone from our bench who I didn't recognise pushing one of theirs in the chest and then a lot of handbags. As the crowd started giving the forest bench stick, one of them apparently said something about gay boys, although I didn't hear that. Cue lots of stewards and general bed wetting. At the end the fat tw@t Davies called his coaching staff together into a huddle like a David Brent parody, then took offence at someone filming it. His lanky tw@t coach went to stand in front of the camera to stop said huddle being filmed then the fat sweatie went over himself to the cameraman, who seemed a bit bemused that he wasn't able to film such a meeting of great minds. I have a short video of this if anyone can tell me how to load it.

Ruben Martinez was sent to the stands apparently.

Ruben Martinez was sent to the stands apparently.

When the benches confronted each other, one of the 'morons' (good and accurate description of Forest bench), got in the face of Ruben, who gave a gaelic wave of the hand and sat down. Said 'moron' then continued, so Ruben got up and gave him a double handed push in front of the 4th official, hence sending off.

Forest bench was a disgrace.

Didn't see what kicked it off but it seemed strange that two or three of their coaching staff were actually inside our technical area giving it loads, and yet only the Albion coach walked.

I would like to see the video but sorry can't help you on how to upload it.

You'll have to upload it to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook or similar and then post the URL.

He's on camera every week, why did he suddenly object to this guy filming him? Sounds like he's being overly difficult.

He's got a chip on his shoulder about the media. Just google his bizarre press conferences of late. Thinks that everyone's got in for Forest. Hmmm - might just be because they're seemingly trying to circumvent FFP and also stories like the one below which suggest the club is being run in breach of Football League rules:

Nothing would delight me more than seeing them fined or have a points deduction.

If your massive investment is all fair and dandy then you should be up the top. If not, or you fail to go up, then things could prove dodgy.

 

[Forest Visitor]

Our "massive investment" this season is probably less than Blackburn paid for Jordan Rhodes. There seems to be a bit of doubt whether the punishments will/can be implemented (I hope!). If an owner is willing to fund an investment in his "business" in order to try to grow the business how/ why should he be prevented from doing so?

Fair enough, but if the rules are in place then you either adhere to them or get fined. If no rules are being broken then clubs have nothing to worry about.

The difference being they have Parachute Payments, you do not.

The rules are clear, and it seems very clear to most that you intend on breaking, or at least fiddling them.

Tweaking maybe. The point is if an owner wants to put his own money why should he be restricted. If its done in the clubs name as a loan against the clubs assets in order to profit from extravigant interest rates as Cardiff and possibly Leicester then thats a different matter .

Because it is against the rules agreed between all the clubs. Whether you are in breach of FFP or not I have no idea, just hope if its found that you are (or any club) punishment is handed out accordingly.

I'm struggling to like our new coaching set up, so one of the faceless, nameless backroom people getting themselves sent off for (allegedly) acting like a brat doesn't surprise me in the slightest. I'm not fond of the direction we're going in at the moment.

Well that's BLATANTLY the justification of a fan who knows that his team is slapping the rules in the face.

Financial fair play speaks for itself. We're taking it seriously, and rightly so. It is important. Clubs like Nottingham Forest are a disgrace, there are a few other examples dotted about the leagues as well, but Forest should benefit the most from ignoring the rules for the short term benefit. The sooner the finances in football are brought under control, the better for the whole sport in general.

Very true dear boy, agree totally and I would recognise any of the backroom staff if they came up to me in the street.

The direction we're going is backward and fast
