Asprilla 96 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Im not impressed by it. My point is more that I couldnt give a fuck about it. I dont see the big deal here I mean, fair enough, you wouldnt see many other owners doing that, but then, maybe the camera wouldnt have looked at him if he was supping a glass of chablis. The camera is prob on him the whole game waiting for him to do something that they can pick up on. Fair enough fella. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm worried he's left handed, probably a sit wiper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehips 0 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) It's great the way the press have a pop at Ashley for mingling with the fans etc. I seem to recall the same press thinking it was great when Mathew Harding was doing the same with Chelsea a few years ago. Yes, Harding never owned Chelsea outright but the actions are pretty much the same iyam. Looking at the clip, I get the impression Ashley was finishing his pint as quick as possible after realising he shouldn't have had it where he was (or having it pointed out to him) - nowt worth reporting tbh.

Smooth Operator 10 Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I enjoyed this little quirky clip of a man with billions of £'s who clearly enjoys the pursuits of the average football fan. Much ado about nothing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci 0 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/200...15875-20719565/ Newcastle owner Mike Ashley may face licensing law rap after downing pintNewcastle owner Mike Ashley could face a police rap after breaking licensing laws to drown his sorrows. Millionaire Ashley, sat in his Newcastle shirt among the travelling Toon Army fans, was caught downing a pint during Setanta's live coverage of United's defeat at Arsenal. But Ashley should not have been drinking alcohol within view of the pitch, which falls into line with licensing laws at Premier League grounds. Ashley, whose shirt had King Kev 1 printed on the back, appeared to down his drink from his pint glass and then leave his seat five minutes before the end with Newcastle already losing. Alcohol is on sale at Arsenal and other grounds but fans are not allowed to take drinks back to their seats. Newcastle issued a statement which said: "Mike was offered a drink which he thought was non-alcoholic so he took it in good faith." Arsenal confirmed they do not sell non-alcoholic beer in the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daftconian or something I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13895 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 To be honest had a normal fan been caught on camera literally nothing would have come of it. The opinion of most premier league fans would have been joyous and there wouldn't have been as much criticism. It would have probably been received with decent banter. If I recall correctly Stevie had a bottle of magners in the new singing section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 If it was a normal fan, a steward would have asked the drink be taken back inside. That would have been it. someones probably told mike he shouldnt have it and so he necked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bias 3 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 who cares if he is drinking. i think its good to see a club owner enjoying himself and doing what normal people do. Its not as if he ever has to drive himself anywhere is it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugby lads are the biggest bunch of arseholes you likely to come across. More civilised fans while in attendance at matches though in general. The notion Rugby is more civilised as a sport is ridiculous though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wykikitoon 16927 Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 What the hell is wrong with people? Taklshite this morning were saying he has broke the law by taking alcohol on the terrace. If thats so, is it purley Ashleys fault or do Arsenal have to take some blame? When I heard that fuck twat talking about this I turned it off.

If anyone thinks it's anywhere near a big deal they want to have a quiet word with themselves though. Btw, when I saw it happen I thought it was canny funny and then I immediately thought that something would be made of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
