He's a slightly tedious bloke who has a go at players endlessly and he's pretty dull with it but his mates laugh along with him which makes him feel he's a real wit. That said Beans should rise above it, he really should - I know it's hard but that's the job.

| Quote ="bren2k"Also, some realism; at every televised game, every week, one can be treated to a close up shot of most coaches and nearly all players yelling expletives - it's a mans game played by grown-ups and sometimes, grown-ups swear. The commentators often have a wry chuckle about it.
Having said that, when it spills over to a direct confrontation between a member of the coaching staff and a spectator then yes, it should be looked into.
Which coach was it who said "If you start listening to the fans, you'll end up sitting with them," or something along those lines.'"
In which case, we should make our mind up as to whether we wish to keep the pretence about 'not being tolerated'. If a supporter used that language towards a steward he would be removed from the ground.
Not easy I know - the same problem exists on here for the mods!

Wayne Bennett. Wise words indeed!

| If Bradbent has told a fan where to go then he should be sacked. If I told a customer at work the same then I would be sacked for definite.

The Hickey Tweet was swept under the carpet (although we don't know if he was disciplined privately), but this, if proven to be correct, requires an apology.'"

the fact that he could not, makes his position almost certainly untenable.

Hickey said something along the lines of bad day at the office thank god for beer, to which Uptoncat(?) responded by saying he should concentrate less on beer and more on getting fit. Hickey told him he pays his money so is entitled to his opinion but basically to F off (on Twitter).

| Quote ="HolyTrin"What a disgrace that Broadbent was today towards the fans, just because one fan complained about the performance and how shocking it has been for weeks. He just snapped and turned around to all the fans behind including myself and told us all to stop complaining and being so negative and to save our money and to f**k off. Like we all said he shouldn't say something like that as a member of staff and why shouldn't we be able to complain after we pay his and the players wages.'"
One fan? I've been reading here for a couple of weeks (not to gloat, I should add, but for something else which will be posted later), all I've read on here is 'Kear should go' from the majority.
It's not just 'one fan' on here, so it won't be just 'one fan' in the stands either. Plus, PB is only human, after weeks of this no wonder he snapped.
After all, now you know the coaching staff listen!
Good luck sorting this one out.

he'd have been better saying nowt than putting a statement out that by implication is having a go at the people he had a go at yesterday.

| Bad language is an everyday occurrence unfortunately, even on here people cannot respond without fluffing and cuffing, bypassing the swear filter. Its called industrial language so long as nothing personal is said, although I was not behind the dugout I would bet that all Broadbent did was answer back in the same vane as he received it.

why the eye roll. he should have just said "what i did was unacceptable" and left it at that. instead he tried to justify it, and then preached to us all (including himself) about how we should behave.
all in all, it doesn't matter. he'll follow kear out of the door anyway.

Because it's over, an apology is enough for me and I can't see how he could have worded it better. As someone else said it's the least of our problems and time to move on. I say leave it, you may say it differently.

Its pretty obvious that whatever he said you'd have found fault, you seem like the type to find fault.
Still it takes all sorts.

| At the end of the day if those who were affected at the game are happy with it then its fair enough for me, it should not have happened granted but hell my clubs going down the pan and this is a minor incident in the grand scheme of things.
Move on.

| Mistakes happen, he's owned up to and is prepared to accept he was at fault and could have acted differently. In my opinion, that draws a line under it and we all move it.

| Heard absolutely everything that went on ... Couldnt believe that Broadbent acted that way BUT can totally understand it ... Hes had enough of the performances and the pressure is on ... He also takes a lot of the flack being so close to the sidelines whilst Kear sits in his comfy box and gets away with it ... Broadbent finally blow his top and will be probably better for it ... Move on as far as im concerned ...
