The Poolie Bunker

I reckon most people were in a turmoil after the match yesterday for all the reasons already mentioned in other posts, especially when we'd gone along expecting something far different, in Mr Maidens' memory. Yet in spite of their own grief and after all the provocations of the game, Ritchie and James still thought to come over to acknowledge the fans after wards.
I'd like to tell them they are a pair of gentlemen, and that it made a difference

Aye but was this only cos they are too soft to get involved in kicking lumps out of each other in the tunnel with the rest of the team????

and don't forget H'angus, he came over and applauded the fans also!

I agree with Grabec

sorry judge but they were better men for ignoring the squabble and risking a possible ban which would do us more harm
looking at the pics on u tube we might lose some of them yet when we can ill afford it

Well I reckon Mr Judge makes a good point.

It was sad to see when it all started how our whole team left Barker to get on with it against about half a dozen of their lot.

so what was nelse and monky doing then?
look on u tube not that clear but clear enough

Belatedly. As a sort of afterthought. Their lot were straight in, ours weren't.

I think half the Brighton team ought to be on some painful punishment after what went on yesterday, and after what Richie Barker had to put up with in particular. But surely the over-riding thing as regards getting physical was that Mike Maidens' family were present, they'd just lost their son/brother, and can you imagine the effect on them of the fighting etc?

We probably shouldn't expect anything better from a town full of bummers.
