Ian moores, against chelsea or leeds

In fact,he was so shit, probably both

Ah, forgot about Moores, he should have gone in the worst team ever. He couldn’t run at all, I’m sure he wore callipers.

Here's my view on stewarding

70's - stewards were lovely - focussed on helping the disabled/unfortunate whilst the coppers waded in in and cracked heads of anyone causing a problem

80's - pretty much the same

90's - started to get a bit more important post-Hillsborough - coppers no longer able to be as forceful but stewards behaved as 'Nolan's' and did a lot of pointing and sheep-herding - go there, sit there, etc

00's - police became less visible and the stewards appeared to be the same lot on the doors of The Hacienda and started to flex their muscles and apply their own laws become cunts, particularly in the home areas of grounds

10's - away fans realise that stewards are up for it with the home fans so the not-rights have a go at away games and pretty much 50:50 on stewards and fans getting a right good pasting

Stewarding was crazy today, when we equalise just let folk have a jump up and down on the track in front of the away end, and they will go back to there seats. Oh no, let's get into them and cause mayhem. Crazy

That’s easily solved by folk not jumping on the track when we all know it’s against the law. It’s not even exuberance, it’s blokes who are more than old enough to know better but fancy acting up on a Saturday afternoon. It wasn’t exactly a Port Vale away situation justifying that sort of thing, was it?

Some of the stewards were like our orange warriors & were definitely looking for trouble. It kicked off outside the ground when we were queueing to get in & a couple of Bolton fans were wrestled to the ground by mostly police but some of the stewards got over agressive with loads of police about. 

It was funny to see a great big group of people gather round to try & film it all & then when we were held up from getting in , a policewoman explained that it was because a police dog had been scared by the rumpus :lol:

The opening of the bar on half time is the best way to wind folk from Bolton up. Moronic
