I don't know if anybody noticed Punch gave his shirt to a young lad in The Chapel after the game. During the warm up he hit a ball into the crowd which hit the lad full in the face both Punch & Wilkins came into the stand to check on him, he missed the first ten mins of the game after being taken away to be checked over. After the whistle he came straight down and called the lad down to pitch side and gave him his shirt, credit to you Jason very nice touch.

That's a nice gesture. I remember Le Tissier breaking someones glasses and paying for new ones.

 

I was in the Milton End for Coventry home game (season when we were marooned to the bottom of the EPL with 2 points or something?) and Tiss was warming up.

 

He smacked the ball straight into my dad's stomach. Not so bad if he could react and block but my dad was carrying two cups of piping hot tea. Miraculously, my dad took it with a wince and Tiss apologised. No tea spilt, either.

 

Then we won, I think, in torrential rain... 2-1?

LOL .... if your dad had been carrying a pie or burger and ended up dropping it, Matty would have been devastated at the waste of such a delicacy and taken you all down To Mac D's after the match :p

Guy in the itchen north had the ball looping towards his head yesterday, to his credit he got a good meaty header in but upset someone because the announcer did the old "throw the ball back to the ball boy" Shame he couldn't direct it better but a good effort and very amusing

I noticed that but didn't know why. Glad to know footballers have decency & morals & it's not all about spit roasts, drug scandals & cheating on partners!

 

I saw Lloyd James making a point of apologsing for a wayward shot. I can't relax when they have shooting practice. 90% go into the crowd! Lol

some time in the mid nineties as a nipper i was behind the goal at selhurst park when our football team went to see saints v wimbeldon. Had my hand on the advertising hoarding when Oakley blasted a ball which crashed against it during the warm up. Think i spent the first 5 minutes in their first aid room! no puncheon style apology from oakley, but i didnt bear a grudge, especially after that screamer against the skates!

He headed it towards the middle of the Itchen Stand and whoever ended up with it chucked it to the ball boy anyway.

 

I didn't hear the "multiball" announcement pre-match so that might have been it - it wasn't the recorded announcement when it was broadcast during the match either, maybe the recording was lost or something ?

 

I'm surprised we haven't sussed the "if we're winning keep chucking the ball straight onto the pitch until the ref gets rid of multiball" thing yet.

That was Clive the cabbie. He was a bit annoyed as he was aiming for Parkinson but ended up nearly hitting Markus instead!

Jason also got though the 10 booking deadline yesterday (i,e. 2 match ban if 10 booking before the 2nd sunday in April).

 

I think has been effecting his form over the last few weeks.

If this is acurrate, then when does the ban start? as he is playing against rovers, are we fielding an inelegible player?

Funnily enough, I remember the very incident, but not anything at all from the game!

You have misunderstood my post.

 

Since the Swindon game he has been on 9 bookings (if the Echo if correct), the cut-off for players getting a 2 match ban for getting to 10 bookings was after the Charlton game. i.e. he had to play 5 games without getting booked.

 

IMO the fact that he was one booking away from a 2 match ban affected his performance in those 5 games.

One of Lloyd's shots hit my mate's son full in the stomach. Floored the nipper and he threw up over his Dad and a lady in front of him. All sorted out by the medics and he still enjoyed the match (he's slowly getting converted from a dubious allegiance to Spurs, and Lloyd's his favourite player...) but he would have been made up (and fully converted :) if like Punch Lloyd had gone over after the game :)
