Scapegoat Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Have a look but made a pretty indefensible response to a tweet from an oafc account reminding him of his spitting incident in 1992. Trying to remember the details of the game - we lost 0-1 and I think we thought he should have had a red card but wasn't given and then got dogs abuse and when subbed got into a situation with a Latics fan. Fan spat at him, Wright spat back and in the subsequent fracas he pushed a police officer. Anyone remember more? He got an FA fine for £1,500 for it.

GlossopLatic Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) It was 1 -1 we played Arsenal my understanding was that he injured Earl Barrett then went t and scored gave it the big one to the chaddy end. He's also a prick. Edited October 1, 2017 by GlossopLatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately doesn't show the incident but he and Meron gesture after a last minute goal which was part of the fine they received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downender Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 always thought he was a 100% player and do enjoy his punditry as suggested, someone may have said something derogatory but he should have been big enough to rise above that kind of stuff spitting at him is just the lowest of the lows imh. doesn't give him the right to gob back mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 What a miss by Milligan! Could have been 2-0 and game over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_bro Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 there is also Lee Dixon, who complains about players going down like they've been pole axed trying to get others sent off. He was gently pushed by Holden and collapsed as if he'd been hit by a truck and got Holden sent off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second bit I'll give you, but only just, the first- Nah. Watching him on MOTD he isn't in either Shearer or Linekar's league and is a waste when paired with another striker (as well as Linekar). That doesn't even take into consideration the likes of Carragher and Neville who are head and shoulders above most of the Association Football pundits on TV.

stewrat Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 The real problem is not shown on the video. Wright twice got away with elbowing Earl Barret in the face withina couple of minutes.Both were quite deliberate and sendings off. Earl was still seeing two of everything a moment later when Wright scored. At the end you can see Earl confronting him. He should not have been on the pitch to score.

Hometownclub Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 He was a decent player, but he is a shocking pundit, I used to hate him on Talksport, his first question to every caller was to ask whether they were a brother or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_b_100 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 That video has reminded me that Jon H was a fantasic keeper, I didnt need reminding that Wright was indeed a twat .... and still is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
