Stan Collymore, talkSPORT lead football pundit who revels in laying down the law on the radio, astonished reporters with his behaviour during Aston Villas 3-3 Premier League draw with QPR on Tuesday night.

Collymore, despite sitting in the Villa Park press box where media impartiality is taken for granted, was jumping up and down during the game like the most fanatical Villa fan, celebrating the goals with the home supporters.

He even greeted QPRs Joey Barton falling down to win a free-kick by clearly shouting at him: You f****** rat.

The former Villa striker let loose with his wild, and sometimes expletive laden, comments from the press box

Villa fan Collymore believed such actions in the supposed neutral sanctuary of the press box were permissible as he wasnt working for talkSPORT during the match. He tweeted: With respect, on nights I go as a fan . . . Im not being paid to do anything other than be a fan.

And talkSPORT would not comment as they said Collymore wasnt on duty, with reporter Nigel Pearson giving his rather more impartial verdict for the station. However Collymore did an interview with Adrian Durham and Darren Gough on talkSPORT before the match.
