    What do you want them to do? Leave fans hands free so they can swing some more punches?

    From the video evidence this was a half-cut chav, not Tyson Fury!

    I wonder what said “security” would do in Newcastle’s Bigg Market on a Friday night!

    is there a ‘Rightmove’ for football clubs or something?

    There’s certainly a “Wrongmove”!

    At least Simon tried.

    More proactive than grumbling from behind a keyboard.

    Agreed, he probably didn’t need handcuffing but if that’s how that security company is trained then I’ve no objections.

    In which case shouldn’t we be questioning said training?

    Or is this part of Ms Patel’s police and crime bill?

    I’d say getting someone who can put the ball in the back of the net is the priority.

    That’s what fans come to watch!

    Hundreds of “fans” have invaded the playing area at dozens of grounds over the decades.

    To my knowledge those perpetrators were removed without having to be handcuffed.

    Of course in those days it was the good old British Bobby taking charge.

    Then again, nostalgia isn’t what it used to be!

    They were Ferrite, but we didn’t play them until after they moved to the Globe Arena.

    Seem to remember us being in L1 and the Championship then. Or did I dream it?

    Not sure about listening to it.

    He calls them the chocolate team
    Cause he thinks they melt in the second half.

    We know they’re the chocolate team
    Cause they’re broken up and swallowed
    And wrapped in bits of s…..!

    No matter how easy the club makes it to get a season ticket you still can’t get over the fact that the football on offer over the past three seasons or more has been absolutely dire.

    And as many on here have said, there is no sign of things improving next year. In fact it could get even worse.

    So you can’t really blame folk for being somewhat reticent about committing to a ST. Many will have a “wait and see” attitude. If (and it’s a big if!) we are doing okay up to Christmas, half-season ticket sales may take off.

    Then there are those who won’t return whilst Swann is Chairman.

    I can’t see anyone queuing round the block as things stand.

    To be fair, there weren’t many better candidates than Hill in October from memory. Adkins was a pipe dream and I don’t want his name sullied by the current mess.

    This!

    If you’re changing manager mid-season then you’re stuck with those without a club. And they’re out of work for a reason.

    Could Sir Nigel have done any better? We’ll never know.

    My main problem with Cox was that none of the players looked fit enough to last 90 minutes (2-0 up away at Carlisle being a case in point!)

    Strange formations and tactics however were not unique to him.
