Jamie wards stretcher

[TAMUS]

What incompetent idiots decided to take him off the pitch past the grunting end,it was only about 10 yards over the half way line, :fishbowl::fishbowl::fishbowl:

I was thinking the same thing just before they started to put Wardy on the stretcher,was sure they would walk him round the Kop end.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Exactly what I was thinking too. If they were taking him straight to the ambulance then understandable but they took him down the tunnel so which muppet decided to walk him past the Wednesday fans? A result of which was a number of coins and other things being thrown at him along with chants of "die die piggy piggy die"

To be honest I thought the treatment he got from the Wednesday fans was just sad. I know it's a derby match but to abuse a player who looked like he could have been seriously injured really isn't on.

Also does anyone know what his injury is? I've heard it's a hamstring problem but I thought it seemed odd for him to be stretchered off with what looked like a splint on his leg if it was just a muscle problem.

*Edit- Apologies, on the OS saying he's out for 5-6 weeks with a torn hamstring*

 

[Muttley]

Nasty vile JEALOUS porcine idiots.

 

[super_pig]

kid at work (wednesdayite) texted me to say he was embarassed about the treatment given out to wardy.. heh.

 

[1867]

He was sat on his stretcher giving childish hand gestures to the Wednesdayites (like the V over the face but by his side) with a grin on his face.

Hardly told me he was in serious pain, and should have expected all the stick he got.

Bit of a difference from when Alan Quinn broke his leg and was nigh on assaulted by your fans as he was carried round the Leppings Lane end a few years ago.

There are morons that are going to give abuse to the other team's injured players 1867 whichever side they support. I was embarrassed by Quinn's abuse a few years back and most sane Wednesday fans will be embarrassed by Wardy's abuse last night. Coins and nutters on the first few rows are completely uncalled for.

But as was mentioned in the OP, who made the decision (on both occasions) to take them past the opponents fans? Take him the other way - claps, cheers and songs. Take him the way they did - potential flashpoint. Utter madness for the sake of fifty yards - it was hardly life/death was it? He'd pulled a hamstring!

Always an excuse with your lot, lets say i agree and he did do this, you are saying your lot wouldn't have thrown coins and still done what you did?

Don't talk bollox

My mate said he picked up around 4 quid from that area, as he has to sort the ground out after the match.

 

[1867]

You're saying it's always an excuse with us?

As I say, it's a bit naive to suggest you'd have done any different

 

[Marland Blade]

I was in the John Street stand and the Misses got hit With Coinage - Also Spitting and Throwing Coins @ someone on a Stretcher not very Good is it?

It wasn't even 50 yards, it was more like 5 yards. They took him down the tunnel remember, not to the ambulance.

You're talking rubbish! As if Wednesday fans actually have £4 between them. You've seen the Sky coverage. Dirty unwashed peasants

You didn't read what I wrote, wednesday have to have an excuse for everything when they lose or do wrong. I was sat with some right idiot United fans, I'm a season ticket holder and had never seen these chavs in my life sat where I was....just after trouble and the chants of we hate wednesday, were rather stupid.

So to think I think our club are all angels and i'm holier than thou, is you being judgemental.

It is you on a few threads that brings up OUR past, yet hates it when we bring up YOURS.

This is a United forum, we think that throwing coins was wrong simple as. I never said all fans did it, and I sure as hell would never do it either. And I never implied united fans were saints and angels...sick of people twisting words to suit themselves.

Some daft get threw a 50p, that bumped it up considerably lol We were stunned too.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Smashing toilets, lights,seats throwing coins and spitting at a player tied down on a stretcher what an embarrassment.What will their clown of a leader stir them up to next time?

 

[judge]

losing is the new winning

almost wished we had lost now
apparently you can take lots of pride from getting mullered by your fiercest rivals

 

[Santos]

Don't you think we're all getting a tad sensitive about the Jamie Ward/Wednesday alteraction (if you can call it that).

It was clear that once on the stretcher, Ward's life wasn't in danger, or what i'm trying to say is it wasn't like he was out cold as we've seen in the past (Butler against us for Leeds springs to mind).

Singing Die Die Piggy Piggy Die Die to a Wednesday player is something I'd never do, but if the roles were reversed I don't think I'd feel ashamed of the Blades fans (apart from singing a crap song to a crap tune). I remember when we beat Wednesday 2-1 away, Alan Quinn was playing for them and broke his leg and identical to Ward, was carried past the Blades fans who gave him abuse.

*Apologies - There is another thread which is more relevent to this post but I can't find it*

But one of our songs has a line about Jack Charlton being dead.....
