:00:00. > :00:08.Tonight we are making you the judge and jury. Your verdict on the goal
:00:09. > :00:16.that wasn't given, on the bhting saga at Torquay and on safe standing
:00:17. > :00:20.in the English game. But thd verdict is in on Big Fletch. He is ` winner.
:00:21. > :00:33.And he is our special guest on this week's Late Kick Off.
:00:34. > :00:38.This week, reaction to all of the goals and the ones which didn't
:00:39. > :00:44.count. Who got this right, the striker or the referee? We have got
:00:45. > :00:48.the answer for you. What I `m doing now standing here is breaking every
:00:49. > :00:53.rule in the book. Find out why later in the programme. Yes, when can you,
:00:54. > :01:00.when can't you and how can xou stand safely? We are going to deb`te the
:01:01. > :01:04.issue. An appeal today against a tdn game
:01:05. > :01:11.ban for biting. We reveal the video evidence which made up FA officials'
:01:12. > :01:15.minds. And playing for the shirt ` if they
:01:16. > :01:18.can find one. Bought at the club shop and on Bristol City's new
:01:19. > :01:27.signing in minutes, the lifd of a very special kit man is comhng up.
:01:28. > :01:30.Hello, welcome to the show. We have award winners among us tonight,
:01:31. > :01:34.never mind Steve Fletcher. We found out Ady Williams has a star named
:01:35. > :01:37.after him. We will find out the name by the end of the programme. Steve
:01:38. > :01:40.Fletcher named the first`evdr Sir Tom Finney Award winner at the
:01:41. > :01:43.Football League Awards last night for a lifetime of achievement in the
:01:44. > :01:46.game. Thank you for joining us. How did you feel last night recdiving
:01:47. > :01:49.that award? I was proud, honoured, humbled. All those words cole to
:01:50. > :01:56.mind. It is unthinkable and obviously in the honour of Sir Tom
:01:57. > :01:59.Finney, it is amazing. And of course it is for moments like this, helping
:02:00. > :02:03.your club stay a Football Ldague club, that you made such a
:02:04. > :02:06.contribution. It is very nice. You win some awards, I broke thd
:02:07. > :02:09.appearance record at Bournelouth but this was voted for by a pandl of
:02:10. > :02:12.people at the Football Leagte and for my lifetime achievement over 800
:02:13. > :02:20.games, I never thought for one moment I would be receiving that
:02:21. > :02:24.award last night in London. I was very emotional. I was overcome with
:02:25. > :02:30.emotion. Especially poignant because of this link with your grandfather,
:02:31. > :02:33.Tom Finney. Dash`mac your grandfather and Tom Finney. It makes
:02:34. > :02:35.it special because my grandfather played for England on three
:02:36. > :02:38.occasions and on all three occasions, Sir Tom Finney w`s in the
:02:39. > :02:42.line`up with Sir Stanley Matthews, and some great names. I am very
:02:43. > :02:45.proud for that, it is a nicd family connection. You have been one of the
:02:46. > :02:50.old hands at Bournemouth for a while. You have had plenty of young
:02:51. > :02:54.players come through, plentx of advice you have added along the way.
:02:55. > :02:57.This is what one of your old team`mates Wayne Elliott had to say.
:02:58. > :03:04.I've more than paid him back, making his goals for years and years. ``
:03:05. > :03:07.Wade Elliott. I earned half of that award! It should probably bd half
:03:08. > :03:11.mine, really. When he has hhs speech, I have no doubt it will be
:03:12. > :03:14.like the Oscars. It will be like Gwyneth Paltrow crying and thanking
:03:15. > :03:17.everybody, if I don't get a thank you I will be most upset. Ndxt
:03:18. > :03:20.year's Lifetime Achievement award winner there, Wade Elliott. It is
:03:21. > :03:27.definitely not for the barndt, is it? Was the speech long? No, I was
:03:28. > :03:30.just asked a few questions. I prolonged one or two. It was my
:03:31. > :03:33.moment in the limelight. I dnjoyed it, it was a fabulous occashon.
:03:34. > :03:36.Another award winner last nhght Gary Johnson. What a tremendous job
:03:37. > :03:40.he has done to deserve this. Very much so, what he has done at Huish
:03:41. > :03:46.Park, he has worked miracles on the budget and everything else that he
:03:47. > :03:49.has had to cope with. This season was always going to be a struggle
:03:50. > :03:51.but a fantastic manager and a fantastic fellow off the pitch as
:03:52. > :03:55.well. Managerial Achievement Award for Gary, well done to him. Well
:03:56. > :03:59.done to Plymouth Argyle, thdy won Best Family Club Award for League
:04:00. > :04:03.Two. Time for our feature g`me. It may have been a goalless dr`w for
:04:04. > :04:06.Bristol City and Swindon but not for the want of both sides going hammer
:04:07. > :04:09.and tongs at each other. Not surprising in City's case, when
:04:10. > :04:12.there is a playing legend in the back room. Are we talking about a
:04:13. > :04:16.coach, fitness expert, or a psychologist? No, we are talking
:04:17. > :04:19.about the kit man. Scott Murray has taken this route
:04:20. > :04:24.into Ashton Gate hundreds of times in a career which encompassdd spells
:04:25. > :04:25.at Reading and Yeovil. A fidry number seven, an eye for go`l and
:04:26. > :04:40.still thrilled by match day. And now as kit man, and no time to
:04:41. > :04:45.lose. Nyron Nosworthy, signdd on loan just 24 hours earlier, needs a
:04:46. > :04:48.shirt. His price tag still on it. We signed him yesterday, so pulling the
:04:49. > :04:52.tags off, took it over to the club shop yesterday. On offer as well. It
:04:53. > :04:57.is proof that what you buy hn the shop is what they are going to wear.
:04:58. > :05:01.100%. He got a sale shirt. Because he is a big lad, gave him a couple
:05:02. > :05:05.of my medium ones and then they sort me out a couple of large onds.
:05:06. > :05:10.COMMENTATOR: He has gone past two players. Saved by the goalkdeper.
:05:11. > :05:17.Only as far as the edge of the area. I remember signing here as ` young
:05:18. > :05:21.23`year`old. I've been here a very long time and I am very settled and
:05:22. > :05:24.happy here. It is a beautiftl city, everyone is really friendly so you
:05:25. > :05:34.couldn't ask for a nicer pl`ce, really. But hits the post. Just gone
:05:35. > :05:37.in to get a couple of pairs of trousers now. Quickly pop in. A
:05:38. > :05:46.couple of lads are cold in the dugout. I will rush in now.
:05:47. > :05:51.COMMENTATOR: Then he is pushed over by Prichard. Pritchard will be in
:05:52. > :05:54.trouble here. He is going to be off. It was a two`handed shove. @nd
:05:55. > :05:56.Pritchard is off. That was absolutely ridiculous. He h`s let
:05:57. > :06:00.himself down here. I think he realises that. A rush of blood to
:06:01. > :06:04.the head. They are down to ten men. You are so calm here, you are a
:06:05. > :06:08.crackerjack when you're out on the field. I know. The thing is, as soon
:06:09. > :06:11.as you cross the white line when you play, it is completely diffdrent. A
:06:12. > :06:17.horrible side of me comes ott as well, I think. I am the most
:06:18. > :06:20.laid`back person but for sole reason you get on the pitch and evdrything
:06:21. > :06:22.completely changes. ??COMMENTATOR: Drives it in towards
:06:23. > :06:29.Emmanuel`Thomas. Clean shot. Mishits it.
:06:30. > :06:35.Er, I am more or less the s`me as I was when I played. Just all excited.
:06:36. > :06:48.Still got the adrenaline gohng? Yes, definitely.
:06:49. > :06:53.When the final whistle goes, a sense of anti`climax among the hole fans.
:06:54. > :06:59.I think we must have had 85$ of the game. Just amazing. Unlucky. Most
:07:00. > :07:02.one`sided game I have seen hn a long time. We kept a clean sheet. All in
:07:03. > :07:06.all, probably a fair result. Boring. The only good thing about
:07:07. > :07:10.Swindon is that we hung on for a 0`0 draw. The sending`off was a sending
:07:11. > :07:19.off. Silly boy. But there you go. We will see what happens next week
:07:20. > :07:23.This is the best part. No, ht is always nice, I do it at the away
:07:24. > :07:26.games as well. You have got to try to leave the dressing rooms as tidy
:07:27. > :07:30.as possible, especially when you are away, I think, a bit of respect It
:07:31. > :07:37.saves the cleaners doing it. I am done, I think.
:07:38. > :07:43.He may be sweeping the floor, but this is the bestselling postcard in
:07:44. > :07:49.the Bristol City club shop. You played with him. What was hd like?
:07:50. > :07:55.Great energy. On his day, almost unplayable. The city fans would like
:07:56. > :08:04.to see the number seven shirt again. You played against him. What kind of
:08:05. > :08:09.opponent was he? His pace. He is the first person the manager spoke
:08:10. > :08:12.about, we have got to track him we have got to watch him today. We
:08:13. > :08:15.watched video footage of hil. He was unplayable at times. Interesting
:08:16. > :08:18.character trait you told me about when he was at Reading? Really good
:08:19. > :08:26.character. In the dressing room one of the players you want on xour
:08:27. > :08:29.side. That must be what madd him scary. He would never go to sleep on
:08:30. > :08:33.the field. Swindon's play`off hopes have quickly faded. They ard now ten
:08:34. > :08:34.points off the top six. For Bristol City, the outlook is brightdr than
:08:35. > :08:36.in recent weeks. the field. Swindon's play`off hopes
:08:37. > :08:40.have But others around them have games in hand so they are f`r from
:08:41. > :08:42.safe. Coming next, the action from the Championship and Portsmouth
:08:43. > :08:45.break their goal`scoring duck at last. Plus, what the FA offhcials
:08:46. > :08:47.saw ` is this moment worth ` ten match ban? One Torquay playdr says
:08:48. > :09:04.no. And safe standing. We open the debate to a stadium
:09:05. > :09:06.revolution. Into the Championship right now at Steve Fletcher's
:09:07. > :09:10.Bournemouth. Four straight clean sheets for Eddie Howe's men. We are
:09:11. > :09:13.going to take a look at this one. 0`0 with Middlesbrough. A bhg
:09:14. > :09:17.talking point in this game `nd one that you, as a striker, would be
:09:18. > :09:20.interested in. He has got to go for this, has he? Absolutely. I wouldn't
:09:21. > :09:23.be that far up the pitch. Hd has even slotted that away from a tight
:09:24. > :09:26.angle. The keeper had a hand on it. It is a split`second decision. The
:09:27. > :09:29.referee is quite close to the incident, maybe 20 yards further
:09:30. > :09:33.back he doesn't see it. Somd referees give it and some don't As
:09:34. > :09:36.we see here. Hand is slightly on the ball, just in slow motion. There is
:09:37. > :09:40.no goalkeepers' union tonight, so you would get in there, stick your
:09:41. > :09:44.boot in and have a go, it is fair enough to go for it? Absolutely And
:09:45. > :09:47.he is a finisher, a poacher, and he has finished it from a tight angle.
:09:48. > :09:51.Tough not to score as well, one or two other chances on the dax. Great
:09:52. > :09:54.strike from Franno from a dhstance. And Andrew Surmon there. Good height
:09:55. > :09:58.for the keeper but the first one was a top drawer save. Just going back
:09:59. > :10:01.to the talking point, we can actually look at the law, at that
:10:02. > :10:05.section of the law and it does show that the goalkeeper is conshdered to
:10:06. > :10:11.be in control of the ball up while the ball is between his hands,
:10:12. > :10:15.between his hand and any surface. That is law 12, fouls and
:10:16. > :10:18.misconduct. Is is all up here! Middlesbrough, Premier Leagte a few
:10:19. > :10:20.seasons ago. It says a lot `bout Bournemouth, you are disappointed
:10:21. > :10:23.that you don't beat them on Saturday. Yes. It is four clean
:10:24. > :10:27.sheets. We wanted to score, we wanted to win four games in a row
:10:28. > :10:30.but it wasn't to be. We havd come so far, five seasons ago we ne`rly went
:10:31. > :10:34.out of existence. And Middldsbrough were in the Premiership. So it is a
:10:35. > :10:37.fabulous effort for everyond in the football club to be in the position
:10:38. > :10:40.we are. Super times at Bournemouth. Away from Bournemouth on thd south
:10:41. > :10:44.coast, the play`off chase is as tight as ever. Brighton or Reading,
:10:45. > :10:51.who is it going to be, if anyone? Ady starts us off at the Redbok
:10:52. > :10:54.Watch Will Buckley, who goes into the danger area. His first dffort
:10:55. > :11:03.saved but shows desire. The quickest to react. Brighton have now won five
:11:04. > :11:06.of their last seven league games. Although they rode their luck at
:11:07. > :11:10.times. This is all about pace and energy, a full 70 yard sprint for
:11:11. > :11:13.Buckley. Tell you what, he leaves the defender for dead and what a
:11:14. > :11:16.quality finish. Brighton have the M word, momentum. Maybe the P word,
:11:17. > :11:19.promotion. You were at the Lad Stad. Yes, two sides looking for
:11:20. > :11:22.promotion, Adam le Fondre c`n't believe he missed this one. This is
:11:23. > :11:25.one of the passes of the se`son for me. One`on`one with the goalkeeper.
:11:26. > :11:30.Six foot four, makes himself nice and big, fantastic save by LcCarthy.
:11:31. > :11:35.Midfielder pops up at the b`ck post, he doesn't score many and you can
:11:36. > :11:40.see why. Watch Adam le Fondre here, punches it into the net. It is all a
:11:41. > :11:45.bit edgy at the Mad Stad. Two successive defeats for Yeovhl. Gary
:11:46. > :11:48.Johnson said that it was gohng to be a tough ask to stay in the
:11:49. > :11:54.Championship. Watch this for a strike from Tom Lawrence. When your
:11:55. > :11:57.luck is out, it is out. He deserves better. Fantastic effort hits the
:11:58. > :12:00.bar. For me, two poor goals to give away. Ball watching from thd Yeovil
:12:01. > :12:04.defender. Simple finish for Zamora. And this one here. Throw yotrself in
:12:05. > :12:08.front of the striker. You know he is going to have an attempt. Go on He
:12:09. > :12:12.does. But the ball is already in the back of the net.
:12:13. > :12:15.Reading slip out of the top six again. Wigan's surge means the
:12:16. > :12:20.Royals join Brighton and Hove Albion in the chase for a play`off spot.
:12:21. > :12:23.Bournemouth rock solid in mhdtable. At the bottom, Yeovil still have
:12:24. > :12:24.Millwall in their sights but you look at the others, they ard moving
:12:25. > :12:27.away a bit. away a
:12:28. > :12:32.Right, Ady, you're at the stadium on Saturday. Our cameras had a snoop
:12:33. > :12:35.around because reports todax about a gold mining tycoon potentially in
:12:36. > :12:41.talks to actually buy the club. What is the clarity? Gold dealer Richard
:12:42. > :12:47.Iribarne, according to the newspapers. Plenty of rumours. But
:12:48. > :12:51.nothing concrete. We want it sorted out, we want new owners in. A good
:12:52. > :12:55.friend of mine in the directors box at the weekend, I spoke to him at
:12:56. > :12:59.the game, he said nothing and it is just ongoing at the moment. I don't
:13:00. > :13:02.know about a gold dealer. Wd could do with a goal hanger at thd Mad
:13:03. > :13:05.Stad at the moment. Yes. But no gold`diggers. Brighton, two big
:13:06. > :13:08.wins. They beat QPR, now thdy win at Bolton. Will they finish above
:13:09. > :13:11.Reading? They have got the lomentum at the moment. I have seen both
:13:12. > :13:14.teams on my scouting travels this season. They both play very good
:13:15. > :13:18.football. Ten games to go, ht is anyone's. We seen last season, it is
:13:19. > :13:21.dramatic. Whoever can keep that momentum going into the last few
:13:22. > :13:26.games will be the one who m`ybe reaches the play`offs. It won't be
:13:27. > :13:30.over until the final day, you feel. Now to our big debate tonight. Thank
:13:31. > :13:33.you for your Twitter reaction to this. It has all been about safe
:13:34. > :13:36.standing. A few months ago, Bristol City unveiled a prototype row of
:13:37. > :13:48.safe standing seats`cum`barriers so people could look for themsdlves to
:13:49. > :13:51.better debate the issues. In a moment, we have a campaigner in the
:13:52. > :13:59.studio. But first, Andy Steggall brings us up to date with the safe
:14:00. > :14:03.standing story so far. Almost every part of Ashton Gate is full for the
:14:04. > :14:06.derby game, except in one corner. This is a demonstration terrace of
:14:07. > :14:09.rail seats. It's a monument to what might be but not yet. We cannot use
:14:10. > :14:13.these seats at all as regul`tions stand at the moment for football.
:14:14. > :14:16.But for rugby, they can comd and sit or stand. It does not make luch
:14:17. > :14:20.sense to us. The idea is silple A lock to put the seat down and make
:14:21. > :14:23.the whole terrace all`seater. A lock to turn the seat into a barrier to
:14:24. > :14:27.stand behind. Most matches H stand because I prefer it. Better
:14:28. > :14:32.atmosphere. I used to enjoy standing. If you make it safe, all
:14:33. > :14:36.the better. In a controlled place, lots of people want to do it,
:14:37. > :14:39.definitely. You have family stands now, you have stands where people
:14:40. > :14:40.sing and dance. Something for everyone. That is how it should be.
:14:41. > :14:50.Football is for everybody. Following the Hillsborough tragedy
:14:51. > :14:53.in 1989, the Taylor report would see all major football stadium become
:14:54. > :15:01.all`seater venues in the fotr years that followed and that is how it has
:15:02. > :15:06.remained ever since here. Btt in Europe, these rail seats have come
:15:07. > :15:09.part of the football furnittre. Like here in Austria and Germany in the
:15:10. > :15:14.Bundesliga where these soccdr celebrations have become
:15:15. > :15:19.commonplace. It is a good thing definitely. They do it in Gdrmany
:15:20. > :15:24.and it is no problem. They have it in the top flight. Why can't we have
:15:25. > :15:27.it in our bottom flight? I believe it should not necessarily bd part of
:15:28. > :15:30.every ground, but I believe every club ought to have the freedom to
:15:31. > :15:35.consider installing a rail seat area. I have been to all`se`ter
:15:36. > :15:39.grounds and people stand up anyhow. I think it is probably quitd a
:15:40. > :15:41.sensible idea. Yes, it is a match`day event, seeing fans
:15:42. > :15:47.standing in seated areas. They shouldn't, but they do. It hs a near
:15:48. > :15:49.impossible task to enforce the rule. One voice against standing says
:15:50. > :15:55.football demands different rules and they should be enforced. Thdy are
:15:56. > :15:58.trying it out in rugby. Gre`t. Rugby doesn't need safe standing. Rugby is
:15:59. > :16:02.a totally different environlent different culture. Football has a
:16:03. > :16:07.certain culture and that culture was starting to be turned around by
:16:08. > :16:10.all`seater stadiums. People with rose`tinted glasses think about the
:16:11. > :16:13.good old days when we all used to stand. It's just nonsense. Think
:16:14. > :16:19.forwards. Look forward. This is not looking forward. This is looking
:16:20. > :16:23.back and will cause a major problem. I think they banned it for ` reason
:16:24. > :16:29.at the end of the day, to sht and keep people safe. Would you prefer
:16:30. > :16:34.to sit or stand? Sit. Any rdason why? I have a cronky back. Ht is
:16:35. > :16:37.hard because someone stands up and gets overexcited, everyone has to
:16:38. > :16:40.stand up because you cannot see At every ground in our region,
:16:41. > :16:43.different rules seem to apply. Clubs relegated from the top two divisions
:16:44. > :16:48.are forced to remain all`se`ter when they dip into league one and two.
:16:49. > :16:52.Not talking about equality, we're not equal, we cannot have standing
:16:53. > :16:57.fans in our stadiums and all of the other stadiums in this leagte can.
:16:58. > :17:00.That is not right. The lower clubs can get away with it, so whx
:17:01. > :17:03.shouldn't the bigger clubs get away with it? Yeovil are the onlx
:17:04. > :17:11.Championship side where standing is allowed for the next three xears. In
:17:12. > :17:14.terms of safety, it is not down to fans, it is down to the football
:17:15. > :17:17.club. Football clubs have to take responsibility when something goes
:17:18. > :17:20.wrong. I would rather stand up watching a football match than I
:17:21. > :17:38.would sit down. Being 72, kdeps you fit. You are supposed to sit down at
:17:39. > :17:41.your age! Get a life, will xou? And joining us now is Jon D`rch
:17:42. > :17:44.Bristol City fan and safe standing campaigner who you saw in otr
:17:45. > :17:48.report. We are going to put you on the spot now. Are you ready? I'm
:17:49. > :17:50.ready. Stand by. Your chosen subject is safe standing. Your questions
:17:51. > :17:53.start now. Will the new standing conditions be anything like the old
:17:54. > :17:58.days? In terms of atmospherd, yes. In terms of surging, absolutely not.
:17:59. > :18:05.Will crowds go totally safe standing? No, just to satisfy
:18:06. > :18:08.demand. And from a fan's pohnt of view, will clubs be prepared to drop
:18:09. > :18:12.the prices to stand? We hopd so and some have said they will. You have
:18:13. > :18:16.answered those well. I think we can give you a breather. Take a seat.
:18:17. > :18:20.Andy referred in his film there to some of the ambiguities of this
:18:21. > :18:25.thing. You have some grounds where you can sit down, stand up `nd it
:18:26. > :18:27.depends on the division. It is all a bit confusing. It is absolutely
:18:28. > :18:30.daft. You have Portsmouth in this region in league two where they
:18:31. > :18:34.cannot stand, they can't offer their fans a choice. Although most of the
:18:35. > :18:36.clubs they play against can. And you have got Yeovil Town in the
:18:37. > :18:40.Championship who can offer their fans a choice but all of thd clubs
:18:41. > :18:43.they play against can't. If Yeovil stay upanother couple of se`sons,
:18:44. > :18:47.their grounds become unsafe as well. But if they go down, it is safe
:18:48. > :18:53.Totally bizarre. That is partly what you want to change with this whole
:18:54. > :18:56.system. We want to let everx club have the option to provide choice
:18:57. > :18:59.for their fans, so those who wants to stand can stand in appropriate
:19:00. > :19:03.areas, and those who want to sit can sit in comfort. Now, Leroy Rosenior
:19:04. > :19:07.said on the film there that football is not like some of the othdr places
:19:08. > :19:10.you will see rail seats. Thhs is a cultural thing. Not like a rugby
:19:11. > :19:14.audience, not like a pop concert. What do you say to what he said
:19:15. > :19:16.That kind of implies that all football fans who want to stand
:19:17. > :19:20.cannot behave well, are hooligans. We have the fans at Bristol Rovers,
:19:21. > :19:26.at Exeter, at Yeovil, all of the clubs in our area who have stands
:19:27. > :19:29.and behave themselves well. As a fan who supports a club with an
:19:30. > :19:32.all`seater stadium, actuallx, the idea that if I was allowed to stand
:19:33. > :19:37.formally I'd become a thug, I find it insulting. Some fans don't behave
:19:38. > :19:40.though. Come on. Not every football fan out there does and if they have
:19:41. > :19:44.a chance, coming on a terrace, you can't be sure what's going to
:19:45. > :19:46.happen, can you? There are bad people in society all over `nd they
:19:47. > :19:50.should be dealt with appropriately. Fans should not be prejudged. But
:19:51. > :19:54.you think this will work, in the culture we have got? This is going
:19:55. > :19:58.to work? This is going to change our culture? What we have currently is
:19:59. > :20:02.lots of fans standing behind normal seats that come halfway up the shin.
:20:03. > :20:06.That is a trip hazard. This is a lot safer. The clubs are coming behind
:20:07. > :20:09.it. Do you think it is going to happen? The clubs now in thd
:20:10. > :20:13.football league have mandatdd their executive team to go to the
:20:14. > :20:16.government and talk about it. Yes, I think it will happen. All rhght
:20:17. > :20:19.Thanks for coming in. This has stirred up a lot of debate on social
:20:20. > :20:24.media. Let's have a little look at what some of you have been saying
:20:25. > :20:28.about it. Sam Barker says, hn most all`seater grounds, there are
:20:29. > :20:31.sections that stand. If rail seats were introduced, they would be very
:20:32. > :20:34.popular. Paul Bristow says, fans cannot be trusted to stand where
:20:35. > :20:43.their ticket tells them thex should stand which will make safe standing
:20:44. > :20:46.unsafe standing. Ady, you'vd got one. Dave Smythers says, lots of
:20:47. > :20:50.people stand in all`seater stadiums anyway. Be stupid to not evdn to
:20:51. > :20:52.trial them. We are always bdhind in this country. Lastly, Josh Nugent
:20:53. > :20:56.says, will give better atmosphere and a safer option for thosd wishing
:20:57. > :21:00.to stand. Proven that they work in Germany, so why not here? John would
:21:01. > :21:02.agree with that, I'm sure. Hf you tweet, you can continue the debate
:21:03. > :21:07.online @TonyHusbandBBC and there's loads on our Facebook page. We spoke
:21:08. > :21:11.to officials at Bristol citx on the weekend as well. Tell us wh`t you
:21:12. > :21:13.think about it. You have sedn the seat in the studio tonight. What do
:21:14. > :21:17.you reckon? If you're a League Two fan, you re
:21:18. > :21:20.probably on the edge of your seat, if you've got one. Nervous times for
:21:21. > :21:28.clubs at the top and there's a pile up developing at the bottom. A debut
:21:29. > :21:32.to forget for Wycombe's Sam Togwell. Absolute stinker. He is on loan from
:21:33. > :21:36.Chesterfield. He gives away the penalty here. The Wycombe kdeper
:21:37. > :21:44.guesses right and almost saves that. This is a real howler. Awkw`rd, yes,
:21:45. > :21:47.but you have got to keep thdse out. This one coming up, a rash challenge
:21:48. > :21:51.here from Togwell. Red card, suspension on the way. Not what you
:21:52. > :21:55.were after on a month's loan. Yeah, thanks for coming!
:21:56. > :21:56.Plymouth's good run came to an end against automatic promotion
:21:57. > :22:02.contenders Scunthorpe. Stathc defending from Scunthorpe. When your
:22:03. > :22:06.luck is out, this is what h`ppens. Really unlucky not to equalhse. Then
:22:07. > :22:15.a real sickener. Watch this. Look at the keeper, Jake Cole. Therd is
:22:16. > :22:20.nothing he can do. No, no. Probably never happen in his career `gain.
:22:21. > :22:23.More misery for our teams. Bristol Rovers losing heavily at Hartlepool.
:22:24. > :22:27.You can't stop that one. I tell you what, a player I always keep an eye
:22:28. > :22:31.on, Marlon Harewood, I used to play against him many times. Verx strong,
:22:32. > :22:33.very pacey and as we see here, very experienced as well. Poor ddfending,
:22:34. > :22:37.I'm afraid, yet again from Bristol Rovers. Ten games away from home
:22:38. > :22:40.without a win. Look at the reason. You can see the reasons why. Maybe
:22:41. > :22:45.now it is more of a mental thing than anything else.
:22:46. > :22:51.Well beaten at Fleetwood whose second was a penalty. Littld bit
:22:52. > :22:54.concerned for Portsmouth. Jtst above the relegation zone. Without a win
:22:55. > :22:57.in four. Teams in and around also picking up points this weekdnd. Some
:22:58. > :23:02.decent performances, yes. That is one thing. But you need points on
:23:03. > :23:03.the board. However, what a strike this is from Jed Wallace. A
:23:04. > :23:16.thunderbolt. Promising playdr. Dreadful day for Oxford. Six without
:23:17. > :23:19.a win for them now. Just two points from a possible 18, plus, w`it for
:23:20. > :23:24.it, two players sent off. What about this one? Tom Newey, a regular for
:23:25. > :23:29.Oxford, what a challenge thhs is. Absolutely ridiculous. Shocking No
:23:30. > :23:32.need whatsoever. If I was playing alongside him, I would ask, why are
:23:33. > :23:35.you doing a ridiculous challenge? Michael Raynes also shown the red
:23:36. > :23:38.card. Second yellow card. Got to be honest, genuine attempt to get the
:23:39. > :23:41.ball. Nine matches left for Oxford to secure a play`off place. Six of
:23:42. > :23:45.those nine against teams currently in the top ten. Tough one for
:23:46. > :23:48.Oxford. Torquay remain rooted to thd bottom
:23:49. > :23:51.of the football league. Eight points from safety. Matt Richards with a
:23:52. > :23:57.winner for Cheltenham. They are now unbeaten in four.
:23:58. > :24:00.Well, it is six without a whn for Oxford. They are on the slide
:24:01. > :24:03.somewhat. Still hanging on. Plymouth drop to ninth.
:24:04. > :24:08.They face leaders Chesterfidld on Tuesday in a crucial game in hand.
:24:09. > :24:10.At the bottom, Torquay eight points adrift. Northampton's point and
:24:11. > :24:13.defeats for Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers and Wycombe means thdy are
:24:14. > :24:14.all thrust back into the relegations frame alongside Exeter who will will
:24:15. > :24:25.see in a moment. Star of the Portsmouth performance,
:24:26. > :24:29.was not a lot to seek reallx. Jed Wallace, fantastic goal, thd kind of
:24:30. > :24:32.goal that could see him movhng out of Fratton Park in the summdr, isn't
:24:33. > :24:35.it? Yeah, very much so. Young players performing well in the lower
:24:36. > :24:38.leagues, they will always attract attention from the big clubs. Maybe
:24:39. > :24:42.they can smell a bargain as well. I'm not sure he will be there next
:24:43. > :24:45.season. I have seen a few thmes this season on my travels and he is
:24:46. > :24:49.technically a very good plaxer. Shift the ball very well on his
:24:50. > :24:52.right and a good strike. OK. Let's take a look at Exeter's valtable
:24:53. > :24:55.point at Newport on Sunday on an awful pitch. More like a cow field
:24:56. > :25:02.than a football field. A bit unlucky here. An own goal. Not a grdat
:25:03. > :25:07.camera angle. In the distance. Climb out of the bottom few and a minute
:25:08. > :25:11.later... This is a scramble and a half. Yes, that is definitely a
:25:12. > :25:15.scramble and a half to say the least! They just could not hold on.
:25:16. > :25:18.They need a win from somewhdre. They are seven without a win, as you
:25:19. > :25:22.mentioned. Only one win in 04. You have played in the dogfight at the
:25:23. > :25:27.bottom of league two. What was it like? It was horrific. Very nerve
:25:28. > :25:31.wracking. Five years ago. The great escape. We gathered momentul and got
:25:32. > :25:35.a couple of wins and we carried on the crest of a wave and it hs
:25:36. > :25:38.getting the first one. It does not matter how it happens. It could be a
:25:39. > :25:42.scrappy 1`0. Comes off your backside, whatever. You havd got to
:25:43. > :25:45.get the win and build on it and do it quick. Are you playing whth fear?
:25:46. > :25:49.You play with fear but that brings out the best in some players. It did
:25:50. > :25:53.me. It did a lot of the plaxers I played with. You are nervous but you
:25:54. > :25:57.know the importance of the game and you go out there and you have just
:25:58. > :26:00.got to give everything and that is what Exeter have got to do. Scrap a
:26:01. > :26:02.1`0 win, anything to give themselves a chance. Need results at St James's
:26:03. > :26:05.Park as well. Now, Torquay United midfielder Joss
:26:06. > :26:08.Labadie has appealed today `gainst a ten`game ban for biting an opponent.
:26:09. > :26:11.The bite happened in the Gulls' game at Chesterfield in mid`Febrtary But
:26:12. > :26:14.after Chesterfield's Ollie Banks tweeted a picture which seeled to
:26:15. > :26:19.show the bite marks, the FA investigated, leading to thd ban.
:26:20. > :26:23.Right. This is an interesting one in football and a big talking point
:26:24. > :26:27.amongst pros I'm sure. We t`ke a look at the incident and yot can see
:26:28. > :26:28.the referee actually has a word with Joss Labadie here before thd corner
:26:29. > :26:36.is taken. Something appears to be up. This is
:26:37. > :26:41.the video the FA officials tsed They judged the ban following on
:26:42. > :26:45.what happens here. Here goes the tussle. What are we seeing here
:26:46. > :26:48.Well, for me, I mean, you c`n't see too much. The Chesterfield lad seems
:26:49. > :26:51.to have Joss Labadie in the headlock position and you are sort of
:26:52. > :26:55.guessing what is going on. Xou can normally tell by players' rdactions,
:26:56. > :27:00.but I'm not so sure what yot can see there. If he bit me, I would have
:27:01. > :27:06.reacted a bit more. That is what the FA saw and they said ten gales. Is
:27:07. > :27:10.that the right kind of punishment? The camera is quite far awax to ban
:27:11. > :27:13.him for ten games for that. I'm not saying he did or didn't do ht, but
:27:14. > :27:17.from the footage we've just seen, that seems harsh. Could you see it?
:27:18. > :27:20.Not from that distance. What I want to know is, what is worse on a
:27:21. > :27:23.football field, someone goes and breaks someone's leg with a
:27:24. > :27:27.two`footed tackle or somethhng like that? For me, unfortunately,
:27:28. > :27:30.injuries happen on the football pitch. You are talking on the
:27:31. > :27:34.football pitch, that is the office for us. Unfortunately, injuries
:27:35. > :27:37.happen. Bad tackles happen. You do not want to see people biting and
:27:38. > :27:42.you definitely don't want to see people spitting. Those are the two
:27:43. > :27:46.no nos for me. It's true. Wd took chunks out of each other, btt at the
:27:47. > :27:52.end of the day, handshake, pat on the back and a drink in the bar I
:27:53. > :27:59.bought the drink. Never did No one wants to see spitting or fighting.
:28:00. > :28:04.It is inhuman. OK. Before we go, what's grabbed your
:28:05. > :28:07.attention, Ady? When you ard talking about coolness under pressure. This
:28:08. > :28:10.is a local derby. Mark Coopdr here, just about to get of the co`ch, the
:28:11. > :28:14.door shuts, a little smile. I think he takes it well. He does. Big game.
:28:15. > :28:18.He copes well. One door closes, another one opens. I've got one for
:28:19. > :28:21.you two to look at. Shame on both of you for hanging up your boots early.
:28:22. > :28:24.This is walking football in action. Bristol City versus Swindon. A
:28:25. > :28:28.football league community scheme run by both clubs. Keep your eyd out at
:28:29. > :28:31.the top of the screen. That is Fletch, number nine, in red. Moves
:28:32. > :28:35.better than me! Very good. They were good this week. I said at the start,
:28:36. > :28:38.the star, what is it named `fter? Ady Williams star. Up there. What is
:28:39. > :28:40.it named after? Ady Williams, funnily enough. Nothing mord special
:28:41. > :28:43.than that? Brilliant. Stell` Ady Williams takes us out. That's it.
:28:44. > :28:45.Next week, Portsmouth's Alan McLoughlin on his battle with life`
:28:46. > :28:47.threatening illness. And thd result of our curry survey. We will see you
:28:48. > :28:57.then. Cheerio.
