Yesterday’s late bundle had the potential to turn into a proper brawl without ever fulfilling it.
What’s the best on-field brawl you can remember involving Charlton?
I can remember Parker and Bowyer sniping at each other throughout a whole game once at The Valley when we ended up winning 4-2 against West Ham but there must be better ones than that?

Next game Warman started a brawl and when the dust had settled Joey Jones was stretched out on the pitch. I wonder who did that.
Apparently (according to my wife, I was suffering the game at the valley) in yesterdays match England v Scots. a skirmish involving two players occurred. The ref played on for a while and then stopped the game, walked over to the two who were still wrestling with each other and asked "Whats the Problem" to which one of the players replied "nothing".
"Well lets get on with the game" said the ref. Bundle over!!
As Coleman probably said quite remarkable.
Sunday match.
Lloyd Sam at Hull.
Must have been others but can't think of any atm.
That ref was right
Alf Sturgeon, the referee who sent off all twenty-two players in the Southern League match between Dartford and Gravesend on Boxing
Day, has been vindicated. An F A Disciplinary Committee, meeting in London yesterday, upheld him. But they will not take action against the players.
The Daily Express reported that the teams had been warned of their conduct on Christmas day so it looks like it boiled over from the previous day.
0-0 with 10mins to go, I was hooked off injured and went to catch a shower. During that 10 mins, two were sent off in the closing minutes, leading to a huge brawl. It carried on in the tunnel and spilled into the changing rooms.
The whole time I was stood in the showers listening to music. I have never lived that down, because I was acting like the hard man. When it finally kicked off, I was hiding in the showers.
Leeds forward Ian Baird went in late on Bob Bolder as he came out to collect the ball. Whilst Baird was sitting on the floor following his kick on Bob, Peter Shirtliff came up and knees Baird in the back of the head. Cue nearly all players getting involved (Colin Walsh sending Jon Sheridan flying to the floor!!) Only two players booked (Shirtliff and Baird). Proper game with proper fights back then not like the strictly come dancing cobblers we saw yesterday
Keegan v Bremner 1974 Charity Shield.
Onward Christian soldiers indeed...
