You are digging yourself a huge hole here.

"Oh you there you scoundrel I am holding you here until the boys in blue come to take you away to the cells!" "Now dont you move you rotten old tomato I cant use force you know but I'm a bit of a brute!"

It's extremely unprofessional for a club official steward to be making comments like yours on this thread.
