WILDER

Hi Chris.

Side splitting

 

[Sean Thornton]

They're hysterical again. He's just kicked a ball away as it's come to him and it went in crowd. You can see his face he's not smashed it in anger. Such nasty and over top comments from the usual suspects. Why not just stop paying attention until he's gone if you cant put your dislike for him aside? It's pathetic. Just glad the actual fans who go to games aren't like you.

Rumpole, Mason and Gambini say it’s assault. Who are we to question great legal minds?

 

[Wards]

Just imagine if one of the players had done that and been banned for the next game, I'm sure Chris would've just laughed it off and said it was nothing

It's just unprofessional however it's dressed up. I was hoping he'd mellowed out a bit but it doesn't look like we're any closer to that milestone.

I agree but 3 games in to his return and he already looks like getting fined for poor discipline. If anyone needed a little reminder why some of the board took the decision to bin him look no further than that incident last night.

This is true. One of the things I thought Wilder needed to improve if he wanted to make us a better side was our disciplinary record. We were poor in that regard last season, accruing several hundred thousand pounds in fines.

This isn't a great start. What he did wasn't malicious (and certainly wasn't assault, I mean, come on now), but it was, indeed, very reckless.

Assault?

The guy could have been killed. I'd say it's at least attempted murder.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Ah, so you think Wilder deliberately kicked the ball into the crowd?

Did he deliberately aim to hit somebody in the head and knock their glasses off No, but what did he expect to happen by blasting the ball into a stand full of supporters.

 

[Carlton Blade]

Even the Wilder haters cant moan after just two games..
So they jump on this instead
If you complain about a ball hitting you at a football match...I dont know what to even tell you.

You're holding him to an exceptionally low standard as the leader of the club. It wasn't a big deal, but he's nearer 60 than 50 and he's booted a ball into the crowd because he's upset with a ref. It's petulant and he can't afford that

Any truth in the rumour CW muttered “You should have stayed in the safe standing section” in his ear?

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Tony Currie?

Tell me more. I was living away from Sheffield for 3 years of the TC era. He surely wouldn’t have miskicked it…

I have a vague memory of him shooting wide and hitting the rebound hitting a young lad.

This is why row Z was abolished by SAG, just too dangerous and too many legal consequences when it gets recklessly punted there.

Just when he thought he was out, he dragged himself back in…….

 

[Slugger]

It's obvious to anyone that saw the incident that he didn't expect the ball to go into the stand at all.

Do you not think that maybe you are over-emphasising a very minor accident?
