    Violent disorder carries a custodial sentence almost every time, it’s worse than affray, so the article suggests something far more sinister occurred.

    If it was kids chasing a coach shouting stuff it would be a public order / breach of peace offence.

    Depends on the police force. West Yorkshires affray is probably west Midlands violent disorder. You ever been to The Hawthorns ?

    Funny video from the coaches showing the local school kids dancing about.

    Must have an awful existence if attacking a coach full of supporters after a 4th division match seems rational.

    Yes , well known for being Arsenals at Brom. I got a tugging for calling the ref a blind Twit and Villa Park was the same. Wasn’t Walsall too from memory?

    Talking about idiots. I wonder if McKirdy is still grinning after that penalty miss ;)

    I think it's fair to say Kevin Ellison doesn't like him either !

    Quote from the police officer at wolves away in the 90's I was speaking to "don't feck with us and we won't feck with you"

    I'm pretty mild mannered, but McKirdy's the kind of kid at school you couldn't stop disliking. The Vale violence cannot be condemned - but he's such a wind up merchant that you could see him getting attacked a mile off, given that he was let go last season.

    Interesting that Daryl Clarke let him go as I think he's an excellent judge of a players character. For all his talent, McKirdy strikes me as far too much bother than his obvious talent is worth.

    Pleased that it's Vale v Mansfield as with their managers, they would be certs to be challenging next season - so at least one is out of the way. And along with Exeter they were the best teams to come to VP.

    Mckirdy is the kind of person that George Orwell had in mind with his line from 1984......'imagine a giant foot stamping down on your face, forever'

    Regardless of how much he is disliked it does not make it right for mindless idiots to be assaulted on the pitch.

    I don't know if you did that on purpose, but I love the way it reads

    This dislike of McKirdy is hilarious, living rent free in so many people's heads. I'd have him in as city's team tomorrow.

    I'm not sure. Every manager he's had has referenced his poor attitude in one way or another and apart from this season he's done very little.

    He may continue next season and perhaps I'd regret it but right now? Not for me.

    That's true tbf. I was going on his previous managers and even one who liked him suggested he was difficult to manage.

    I'm just unsure we need that kind of disruption although it's very difficult to argue with his output.

    So far he's a one season wonder, and Coventry apparently after him.

    Good luck to the lad, I'd rather he wasn't playing us next season.
