RobM Posted 20 August, 2011 Share Posted 20 August, 2011 Let's hope the club see this. Stewards have a difficult enough job to do, without people judging them based on her actions before they have started. She should be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stepgar Posted 20 August, 2011 Share Posted 20 August, 2011 Well I wasn't there but I am embarrassed by some of the actions by our fans also. Certainly didn't seem to just walk away from it did they. If anything antagonised the Millwall faithful even more. I didn't even hear the Millwall fans. As for the woman - what was she thinking? Deserves everything she gets. You could even hear the slap!

brmbrm Posted 20 August, 2011 Share Posted 20 August, 2011 Hmmm. So your idea of fun is to gather round the Milwall fans, shout "******s" etc etc and generally beave like a total arsehole... let me guess - thick and ******ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 20 August, 2011 Share Posted 20 August, 2011 A little slap by someone in authority is what this country is missing. When a teacher hit me my mum was called in to school and told them to hit me again if I was out of order, didn't do me any harm. Judging by the blokes reaction he took it too, so possibly he knew he was out of order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint boggy Posted 20 August, 2011 Share Posted 20 August, 2011 Unprofessional yes, but when you know the facts it makes it all seem a little less 'shocking' ........the guy was actually her brother-in-law, who had been mouthing off at and insulting her colleagues...she just "put him back in his place" that's all....

mrjolly Posted 20 August, 2011 Share Posted 20 August, 2011 stewards have no authority. they are there to show you to your seat, make sure you don't stray into areas you shouldn't and basically point out toilets, exits and general safety points. they have absolutely no authority whatsoever. sadly they seem to have gotten well above their station over the recent years. unfortunately this poor, over excited woman has been caught on video committing common assault. sorry, but she should be sacked.

If people weren't dickheads, there wouldn't be a need for the kind of stwearding you have a problem with. I bet you'd be the first to complain if one of your Green Street buddies was arrested/lost their job for a weak slap like that. I am all for a bit of banter, but I don't get the arms aloft, "come and get some" kind of thing that you see in this video - not least when it's behind a cordon of yellow jackets. Fundamentally it's notthat the stewards have no authority, it's that ****s like those on the camera have no respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 21 August, 2011 Share Posted 21 August, 2011 why should she be sacked...??? The moment she puts on the stewards vest she represents Southampton FC. There is now a video online which will no doubt be picked up on by numerous other clubs fans that makes our club look bad, undermines the hard work stewards do and will give those who visit St.Marys a bad impression of these stewards before they have even entered the stadium. Stewards are already seen as the enemy to some fans, having a video like this really doesn't help that. If the person she slapped was a member of her family, that lessens the offence. Does it say that in the video though? Does the video make it 100% clear that this is a family dispute? Will rival fans or those critical of the club know this? No. So all that is left is a representative of our club slapping somebody on camera during unrest between fans. That's why I think she should be sacked. Think back to what happened on this forum when Forecast was rumoured to have smacked somebody in public, he was hated here for it... thank goodness that wasn't on camera, published by our own fans on YouTube. Oh and for what its worth, I too believe that a bit of tough-love is what this country needs. But the rules and laws don't allow that so when you're in a position of authority, you stick within those rules and laws, a concept I'm sure you're familiar with in your trade. If the laws change and a quick slap becomes an acceptable way of handling people causing trouble, this entire debate becomes null and void.
