David Guiza Posted 18 September 2013 Share Posted 18 September 2013 I loved NP's comment on why he stayed in the stand when his touchline ban no longer applied: ‘I just decided I would give it another go, no other reason. As I don’t like to conform, I thought I’d do it when I didn’t have to" (Source: Daily Mail) I think some people get him wrong, seeing him as boring, stubborn and possibly not very bright. Contrary he may be, but that can be a good thing; he's also a sharp bloke with a dry sense of humour that creases me up sometimes. You keep them guessing, Nigel! Clearly Big Nige is just a hipster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 18 September 2013 Share Posted 18 September 2013 I think it was probably mocking the FA. As lets be honest, its a pretty pointless punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphericalfox Posted 18 September 2013 Share Posted 18 September 2013 It's obvious Nige clearly likes the 'main stand' view on FM. That and the Director's box has half-time hookers and flaming sambuca challenges with Top and his Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooseBreath Posted 18 September 2013 Share Posted 18 September 2013 Good on him. A bit of trolling never hurt anyone. I don't think the view matters much if you're a manager. If you've been on and around football pitches almost every day for several decades you probably get quite good at being able to see what's going on from ground level.

Matt Posted 18 September 2013 Share Posted 18 September 2013 l love his dry humour, some people don't get it and see him as boring, arrogant, negative, he's not at all imo. On the radio he (jokingly) threatened to sit in the commentary box with Stringer & Young! Oh yes please, maybe he'd give both (Or atleast Young) some of the famous headbutt treatment!

wight88 Posted 18 September 2013 Share Posted 18 September 2013 Fat Sam Allardyce used to do it, the pr@ck used to wear a headset. That conjures up so many unfortunate images 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash79 Posted 21 September 2013 Share Posted 21 September 2013 If I was CS I'd be tempted to have a bit of fun with it... Imagine just as Vardy was walking by... Cupping your ear like American secret service agent... "What's that boss? Vardy's having a mare?" "He's got a shocking hair cut and is a lazy b'stard" "What's that get some boots on myself and drag him off as I'm more mobile" "We'll it's a little unconventional but ok if your sure" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountesthorpeFox Posted 25 September 2013 Share Posted 25 September 2013 Can anyone who went tonight and/or Blackpool advise whether he was in the dugout or not?I didn't see him in on the touchline for the end of game handshakes at Blackpool and for Knockaerts celebration tonight - (thought the eyes gesture by Knocky when he skidded may have been a play on him looking into the stands to see Pearson).I'm pretty sure his ban has been over and hes just doing it for a change.Cheers.

Guest MattP Posted 25 September 2013 Share Posted 25 September 2013 He'll be called 'Markin' we go to Paris not Paree Did he say that? You also get a much better view of everyone's positioning from the stand. I appreciate rugby is, tactically, a more complex game but their coaches are usually up in the stand or an executive box these days, masterminding things from above. They'll radio down to assistants on the touchline. Don't have a problem with that at all. Agreed, i find it amazing how many managers still stand on the touchline. Football must be the only sport where this is still commonplace, no excuse for it really in this day and age when you can mic down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suffolk fox Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 The condemned stand is opposite the dugouts isn't it? No you obviously have never been to watford? Same side the dugouts are there the side that is never shown on tv. Crap ground truly awful. What's with the bit in the corner where the home fans sit looks like a half built block of flats?

K1FOX Posted 29 September 2013 Share Posted 29 September 2013 Absolute fire stadium vicarage road. That play off semi final last year was all the more painful because of how shit their ground is, the fact that half the players weren't theirs and that c**t of a man with the tannoy.
