Saint-Armstrong Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMbeOcunc7s Whatever was said at around 1:30, that lady is in SFC uniform and should be professional when working for the club. Slapping a fan is unacceptable, and she should be sacked.
Griffo Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 She would have been better at fronting the Millwall fans than half the spotty kids were with their phone's out recording the whole thing.
RobM Posted 20 August, 2011 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.
Norm Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Oh dear. It could be very interesting to hear what she has to say when she meets Nic on Monday (unless she is in tomorrow for a chat).
Tractor_Saint Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Well done for reposting something that was already being discussed http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?32096-Will-the-police-ever-learn!&p=1124120#post1124120
Stepgar Posted 20 August, 2011 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 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?
Tractor_Saint Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 As soon as I walked round the Kingsland / Northam end and saw the burger van shutting up shop at 17:00 I decided that it'd be a good idea to walk the long way around
Crab Lungs Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 LOL @grown men chanting obscenities behind a police line. Why not just go to a pub, have a beer and enjoy the result?
LGTL Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 I assume she will go the same way as the fence shakers?
Fan The Flames Posted 20 August, 2011 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.
saint boggy Posted 20 August, 2011 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....
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 20 August, 2011 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.... That will make for some interesting family gatherings!

Like you say if he took it knowing he was bang out of order: case closed.
exit2 Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 From what I understand it was a personal matter and the female steward knows the person concerned
mrjolly Posted 20 August, 2011 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.
Rut Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Never mind all that what the hell is Richard Branson doing stewarding at St Marys? (at about 3.40 in the video)
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 what time in the video did it happen? For pity's sake Stanley, keep up. The time of the 'offence' was stated in the original post. One minute and thirty seconds if translation from the Arabic numbering system is beyond you.

SNSUN Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 BURN HER!!! BURN HER AT THE STAKE!!! Relax people, she'll be dealt with in the appropriate manner. There's only room for professionalism at this club.
sammysaint Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Feel sorry for stewards they get abused by chavs who were bullied at school every week for telling them to sit down. As for the video some pathetic fans from both sides show how pathetic grown men can be, and the steward i have no doubts will be sacked.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 20 August, 2011 Posted 20 August, 2011 Where was our resident hard nut Turkish? Must have been eating his packed lunch.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 What big boys they were goading the Millwall from behind police lines. Pathetic.
dune Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 For pity's sake Stanley, keep up. The time of the 'offence' was stated in the original post. One minute and thirty seconds if translation from the Arabic numbering system is beyond you. Still as pompous as ever I see.
manji Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Leave her alone for goodness sake. One minute having hissy fits over our glorious leader being on the front of the programme next damning one of our stewards for a little slap.What a bunch of bed-wetters some of our fans are.

Slapping a fan is unacceptable, and she should be sacked.I think some people warrant a good slap, he was being a ****, he got slapped, whats the issue. The problem with todays society is that people in authority are too afraid to dish out a slap. He deserved it most likely so fook him !
Hatch Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 She should be on the cover of the next match programme
Thedelldays Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 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. why should she be sacked...???
dune Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 why should she be sacked...??? It's clear why she should. I hope she isn't though and this issue stays below the radar. There can be no room for grey areas when it comes to stewarding. If it'd been a man hitting a man or a man hitting a woman there would be no discussion.
B Rabbit Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I love the way everyone is really brave behind a line of stewards and countless police...bravo...
JustMike Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 what you didnt see was what happened before. The guy she slapped is a member of her family, he was with a foul mouthed woman and 2 other guys (all family) they had set upon her, and the guy she slapped and slapped her first. Not condoning it but suggest people maybe too quick to point the finger
Alain Perrin Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 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.

RobM Posted 21 August, 2011 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.
LVSaint Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 I love the way everyone is really brave behind a line of stewards and countless police...bravo... Yep. I'd like to see what 'sh@gger' and his little gang would have done if there were no police around. What a bunch of gits. (why the **** can I not spell 's h a g g e r' on here. It's not a rude word.
RobM Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 dont be a fairy...... Awesome argument. Have a biscuit.
Thedelldays Posted 21 August, 2011 Posted 21 August, 2011 Awesome argument. Have a biscuit. no, we live is such a wishy washy country...(recent events show this) and would not begrudge someone in a very difficult job slapping a prat (who apparently is a member of her family) like that....
