Players offering to fight supporters

After Kevin Rutkiewicz's first league game for Morton, a 2-2 draw with Livingston, he charged over to the Cowshed at full-time looking for the "fucking w****r" who'd shouted at him early in the second half after he shelled a long ball out of play, and had to be dragged away by Derek Gaston. It turned out that he'd misheard a shout of "useless pass" as "Polish b*****d".

'Uszlecszpasz' is, in fact Polish for 'b*****d'.

Kenny Brannigan might've got sacked from Queens Park for hitting someone. To be fair to Kenny that usually means he likes you.

Not sacked but had to leave to avoid police action, allegedly. He had just subbed a player who wasn’t happy and booted a water bottle on the way off which Kenny decided to “reprimand” him for by straightening his shirt around the neck area. He might have got away with that but a spectator, who was the father of another player who was nursing a broken leg at the time, decided to have words to which of course Kenny offered his opinion back. It was at Elgin so right in front of the main stand and everyone could see/hear the details. Just not in the Corinthian spirit. 

Epitaph was the player involved asked for him not to lose his job but the Committee had already made their feelings known. Shame, he actually had a fair number of games as a player over 4-5 years and was liked by most fans. The upside was it made room for Billy Stark and ultimately one of the best QP teams in living memory.

Not a fight but in the lateral part of Daziels period as Ayr manager, he turned up to a Daily Record or Sun fans forum in a condition described in the paper as “tired and emotional” 

Before the event started, someone who wasn’t mic’d up asked the fully mic’d up GD how he was feeling.

He said something along the lines of, I’m going to spend the next hour answering questions from these c***s

He probably had a point

Used to see him pished and argumentative at anyone who dared make eye contact.

Absolute ballon knot of a man

Tam Turner famously had a bust up with a “supporter” in the main stand enclosure in 1998. Sent out on loan to QotS for a month.

Brought back to club. Installed as captain to lead us to title glory in 99/00. 

Tam looks as though he could still play and scrap today. Not a guy to be messed about. Good guy!

I mind reading on here before that Dalziel was pretty open with his contempt for Ayr fans when he was manager. 

Paul Paton spent hours on Facebook offering our fans square goes after he had signed his pre-contract with Dundee Utd. He was on a team night out after we had won the league, and he spent his night seething.

There were stories getting out about his style of man management.
Over the seasons he was manager we had guys that would go from zero to hero, like Stevie Kerrigan and Glyn Hurst. Daziel apparently liked to be the main man and made their lives difficult to the point they forced moves out the club. At the time, we weren’t a selling club unless we got stupid money and both went relatively cheap.

He basically outspent other teams and even that didn’t work, our results depended on who his assistant was at the time. A lot of the time we were poor and the football was poor but cup runs and beating Kilmarnock every 6 months it felt like, kept him in a job. 
He wasn’t a pleasant individual 1-1 either with fans and just came across as an arrogant w**k. He saw out months of protests against him knowing Barr wouldn’t sack him before becoming Campbell Moneys assistant more or less. 
When he left, he said he felt that he should be remembered the same, as not better than MacLeod as he had got the club to a national cup final and won a championship. There is a reason his time at Ayr is known as the “Barr Era” rather than the Daziel era

I genuinely think few players would really think about fighting fans but if folk think paying money into games let's you shout whatever's on your mind at fellow human beings, don't be shocked or surprised if they challenge or answer back sometimes. It's all pantomime stuff from both sides really.

Same should go for internet fans forums as well.

If you're prepared to post on here, feel free to say it to the persons face when you next see them.

Fans forums for example. The amount of big talk on here from the Ayr support seems to get lost when they actually meet the people involved.

Strange behaviour.

A few season's ago Goole's captain entered the terraces for some shadow dancing and embarrassing windmilling fists with a fan. Was sacked immediately afterwards. No one comes out of this outside-the-chippy-scrap looking good.

The footage is completely ludicrous but the back story, revealed later, pretty sad- the player concerned was addicted to gambling and clearly extremely depressed at that time.

Last seen playing for a Scottish Junior team in Banjo Country.

Absolutely. There isn't much better in life than watching people act the big 'un online then shrink when they're the one being called out in person. 

Thon Partick supporter being the funniest one I've seen to date. Loads to say online then nearly in tears apologising on video in some fast food shop. :lol: Beautiful.

What a bizarre take. 

Not at all.

It's surely more bizarre to shout from within a crowd at a player or manager at a game or froth at the mouth post match on a fan's forum what you believe then meekly nod at the likes of a fans forum when you're in the same room as the person.

If you truly believe it speak out.

If you shout abuse in person, aye
If you seek out a player/club and abuse them online, aye
If a player/manager comes in to a football forum to read comments, No

What next, if you think a player is bad in the comfort of your own house, you should immediately drive to the ground and bellow it in to their face or you are a hypocrite ?
