Morons? Scumbags? These were Villa fans just because they had a different opinion and hadn't had some of your education does not make them less of a fan. The bigoted views are shocking.

Come off it.
Do you really think they are your typical Villa supporters?
Most of them were eager to get on the TV and act the Goat.

How does climbing up a fucking fence adequately register your displeasure at an incoming Manager?

I still maintain that a lot of them were not proper supporters.

Anybody who refuses to carry on supporting the club because they don't like the Manager, surely can't be a proper supporter anyway.

Well said Hoppo. A nose friend of mine was attempting to wind me up by saying they were not 'proper' fans because they were not behind the manager. I told him 'we're not shit because we don't accept shit. You are because you do'.

Although Fletch has got a point about some of them, I still reckon it's a small minority. We do have a history of militant supporters demonstrating and campaigning for what they see as the best interests of the club.

I'm a bit torn on this.

Albrighton earns very good money to be a footballer and a winger in particular, yet in the past 18 months has delivered a handful of decent crosses. Under no pressure, when we desperately needed to create chances, to do that then the reaction he got was pretty tame. Look at what the reaction was to Warnock's own goal last season.

That said this bunch of inexperienced lads need as much positive support as they can get and in the main they are getting it from the Villa fans that are bothering to turn up.

It's not bigoted to say that some of the people in that video would have to pass at least 12 detailed exams just to attain the rank of thick c.unt.

And most supporters, whilst in an understandable daze about his appointment, did get behind him.

I agree Percy, but generally they've been organised, mainly civilised protests, that demonstration when McCatpiss got appointed looked like the Annual General meeting of the Rubery Glee Club.

Probably no less of a fan. I'm sure they thought they had the best interests of the club at heart.

Doesn't mean that they weren't acting likes dicks.

Yes, but that's what happens when good people do nothing

One things for sure, the whole McLeish thing will be debated for many, many years to come because I don't think we'll ever find any rhyme or reason for why it ever happened.

As that lispy, orange haired slag sang in the 80's
'It's a mystery.'
