miserableoldgit Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 To save me.....and possibly others.....trawling through the match thread (trying to erase the game from my memory), can somebody explain what went on at 80 minutes? Couldn't actually see what was happening from where we were sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what was going on in the Northam at 80 mins that seemed to take peoples mind off the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarisbury Saint Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Jobs worth of a female steward stopping two fans from banging on boards and escalated into something from nothing. Total nonsense and overreaction from that steward. Those guys have been doing it for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy handed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed common sense prevailed, until sometime after the same steward came back mob handed with police and more stewards. The official line from the club is that they were standing in a non standing zone. Very poor management from one jobsworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so we all knew that there was going to be a clamp down on standing elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Chuckle Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 https://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/24221657.southampton-supporters-express-anger-steward-commotion/ Expecting incoming picture like this from the fans involved next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tone Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Jo Tessem seemed to think the booing etc distracted the players. They must have wondered what the ''you're getting sacked in the morning" and "you don't know what you're doing" chants were about, but even so, I can't see it really bothering them?

I sit in block 37 so saw it all unfold, and it certainly distracted the fans getting behind the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're top league professional footballers, if they let a little bit of crowd distraction throw them off course and lead them to forget how to defend then they shouldn't be playing football at this level. Not sure I buy it, as we had no control of that game in the 2nd half at all - even before all the stand stuff.

He said that they were too busy concentrating on the game to really notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom & Gerry Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 When the team most needed our support, the crowd got distracted ( rightly or wrongly). I just wish they'd have that level of passion for the team. Just shows what a noise they away fans will make when they are put in a corner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 (edited) The stewards & plod over reacted at the start but the 2 blokes wouldn’t leave it alone. It got ridiculous in the end, particularly the older one who charged down the line. They left plod with no other option but to chuck them out. I hope they enjoyed their 5 mins of fame, and also have something else lined up for Saturday afternoons.
