• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Silly boy. Mind that’s the sort of thing that happens hundreds of times all over the country every weekend. The only thing that’s wrong with kids’ football is some of the parents.
 
Given the treatment he would have received over the years from fans and opponents, you wonder what was said or done that would set him off. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a typical pushy football dad that knew who he was and wanted to provoke the ex-pro. Probably the highlight of the sad twat's year if so.
 
Not commenting on Ashley, but parent spectators in general were the bane of my life when I was a regional ref in Herefordshire and used to do kids' matches on a Sunday afternoon. All sense flies out the window when their offspring are involved.
They love to have a go at the ref or at each other. I only had to threaten to abandon a match once or twice and never did it. It was the official responsibility of the home club to police spectator behaviour, so a word with the home manager usually did the trick, and a threat of a fine and ban for the club. The FA introduced a rope barrier two metres from the pitch which spectators had to stand behind. There's also a rule no spectators can stand behind either goal line, stopping them hassling goalkeepers
