Club Statement on abuse of staff
- Thread starter nick_PASTIE
- Start date
I think it is worth noting that the Club Statement fails to mention anything about coins being thrown, so we can feel pretty confident that someone made this up.
If coins were thrown then this would surely have been referenced, staying that those responsible would be identified and appropriate action would be taken (and rightly so).
It appears that the ‘Yobbish behaviour’ is simply about what was shouted.
I would strongly suggest that Derek Adams never goes to one of these ‘bigger clubs’ he often refers to. If his team performed like his current side for them, supporters would make Argyle fans look like absolute pussy cats!

I thought ga84 was Argyle's pr person. Personally I blame all this so called unsavoury behaviour on all those 'yobs' coming down from the Grandstand. Never had these problems before.
The rules and regs are on the back of tickets I understand? & they are already up on notices around the concourses? and probably somewhere on the website?
Why release yet another statement?
All a bit hypocritical when the man in question is quoted (in a scottish newspaper) as follows:
"I do have a temper, yes, I do lose the plot now and again. That's just been my upbringing."
and another reports on Adams whilst at Hibs:
His latest suspension was a result of being reported for foul and abusive language towards referee Alan Muir during a 2-0 defeat at Fir Park on 22 January, although Hibs boss Colin Calderwood later claimed his assistant did not swear and had aimed his comments at a Motherwell player. The incident was the fourth time the former Aberdeen midfielder had been reported by match officials over a three-year period, meaning his situation was automatically discussed by the Scottish Football Association's disciplinary committee'
and another writes:
'Adams, 34, was found guilty of 'excessive misconduct' towards a referee at a reserve game with East Fife last November'
'At a disciplinary committee meeting on January 26, that sentence was doubled to eight because the men wearing the blazers felt the incident was 'extremely serious'.'
People on here talk about being able to take it if you like to dish it out.
Perhaps they should be telling thet to Mr Adams. Seems it takes a yob to know one

I think it’s the kind of statement any responsible employer would put out. If you went into a hospital and told a nurse or doctor to eff off you would rightly get pood upon. Like wise station staff, shop workers etc. Why do football fans think they have a god given right to tell a manager to eff off or a coach he’s effing useless and not expect repercussions. Everyone has a right to express their opinions. That’s what we do here. No one has a right to tell someone else to eff off.
I personally don't see anything wrong with this. Paying your money for a ticket doesn't entitle you to hurl abuse at members of the club. If you don't like it, stay home. I think this statement is a reasonable and fair reminder.

Why does the manager feel he has a god-given right to politeness when (as above) he openly admits to 'losing the plot' and having a temper, when he has received significant touchline bans for 'foul and abusive language' towards officials of an 'extremely serious' nature, when he winds up opposition fans who are already volatile and further incites them (Rovers last season)?
Why should a referee turn up for work and be subject to 'foul and abusive' language?
