I guess the only thing is if there were kids there then he's likely to be criticised for swearing. Having spoken to him last night he is a passionate guy, he cares, and I guess he was really frustrated - to have someone taking cheap shots at him at the end of the game might have been the straw that broke the camels back - I'm not excusing him, but I can understand his frustration.

Driver tried to usher him away but he wouldn't leave it. It was a poor response from Justin and there was a load of children around that were from the irchester Romans fc!
People coming in gives him a playing budget...
thats a shame becuase i thought justin was better than that :|

I'm pretty sure Justin was already fuming after just conceding a cheap goal, and he did not appreciate being shouted at by a stranger. We all do things in the heat of the moment. Personally I don't think it was right, but it was perfectly understandable.

Fans can shout abuse and harass players and managers but the fans have a hissy fit if they turn round and shout back. If you dish it out then as far as i,m concerned you should be willing to receive verbal back.

Some of our fans can be morons. I know a few where I stand that think they are tactical geniuses but are as clueless as some of the officials we have at this level.

Fans expressing their views on their team's performance and the manager's choice of tactics is a perfectly acceptable form of feedback...if the club is not giving satisfaction/enjoyment/success, then surely the management would welcome such vital information - (tongue firmly in cheek.. ;) )

Why do you still come on this board?
You only pipe up if there's a possible moment to criticise.
