Chris Wilder

Bit over the top or justified? Can't say if someone was eating a sandwhich next to me I'd be all that bothered, then again I'm not a famous Premier League manager like the all powerful and respected Chris Wilder.

Wilder criticises assistant referee for eating sandwich

Watch as Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder says an assistant referee eating a sandwich during a conversation showed a "complete lack of respect", and criticises the standard of refereeing in matches involving his side.

I love that this has now made the bbc site

How embarrassing for Chris


(Well, it would be if he had any self awareness)

 

[GibbosEmpire]

Is a referees assistant not allowed to eat anything? Is that a rule?

 

[AytonMews]

Not in front of Chris Wilder. Complete lack of respect. Have you SEEN his CV??

 

[GibbosEmpire]

Not yet I was eating a sandwhich

 

[London_Boro]

haha. he's such a tlt.

 

[35to39]

He's really doubling down on his whole 'I'm exempt from any criticism- person/thing x, y, z is the reason we're losing' act isn't he.
Looking forward to him blaming them going down in April on the opposition mascot or the parking spaces being too thin.

It’s hilarious. Wilder is starting to become a parody.

So, him talking with the referee while the assistant eats a sandwich is disrespectful?!

Fancy eating a sandwich in the presence of a premier league manager! I'm with Chris on this one, he should be sacked, pilloried and if that's not legal we should bring back pillories(?) .

Is it just the eating he has a problem with or is it sandwiches specifically? If it had been a Snickers or bag of crisps would that have been ok?

Is that a Ginsters flavour?

 

[GibbosEmpire]

I bet it was a prawn sandwich aswell

Next game Wilder walks in and the officials are seated at a Japanese conveyor belt of food going around their changing room.

It's the way he shoehorns "PREMIER LEAGUE MANAGER" in. Hilarious

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

He probably thinks he's done a Mourinho and taken the spotlight away from the players and the **** result, but actually just makes him look like the massive arrogant to55er that he really is.

Was it cut into triangles or squares?

Probably the last ever season he can use that one. Amazed he’s got the opportunity now, and I guess, so is he.

 

[h_m_boro]

So in the Championship would he deem it so beneath him an assistant ref would be okay to slurp the dregs of a McDs chocolate milkshake while the ref is being spoken to?

What an enormous helmet he is.

 

[Colgates_shaving_foam]

It's brilliant, I love it when people are like David Brent or Alan Partridge but in real life.

Cue Villa fans waving sandwiches at him tomorrow
