Not condoning it but swearing goes with the territory.
This is football lads, it's not an afternoon at the tennis.

True, but it was for nearly the whole 90 minutes. He was the kind of person you did'nt want to stand behind.
he continually shouted it from the first to the last second at OUR players. and even if you think it is appropriate behaviour i dont ever see a disclaimer on my ticket saying 'come to the football and say what the hell you want'. if you think no one should have any standards then you are no worse than him. you dont expect a decent human being to behave that way, there is no need!

There was a bloke behind us (block D) who was dishing it out to our players from beginning to end.

I stopped reading after the first line

Why's that then? Please explain.

Cheers.

I got pulled by the guy next to me for calling Bannan a useless Scottish something or other. I'm fairly certain I didn't swear either. But the guy asked me what a players nationality had to do with him being useless in a quite strong Scottish accent! I instantly apologised to him as I didn't want to cause offence to a fellow fan.
I was also otherwise occupied to have a long debate with someone about Scotland's current standing in the world of footy and how being described as Scottish says more eloquently than any four letter word the quality of Bannans performance, not even withstanding his actual place of birth.
Based on that do we describe our team as Scottish?  Understand what you are trying to say but the man was right in pulling you up on that. We should use strong adjectives by all means but nationality should be no no. No one nation has dominance on great  or crap!

There are dickheads everywhere. Not that it makes it Ok.

I had a half season ticket in the lower holte once, row J.

We played Arsenal around Xmas time and this older dude (late 50's) spent the whole game calling every black Arsenal player a "golly wog" or a "nig nog". I called the club and they moved my ticket. Don't know if anything was done about the bloke. Generally a few of the people around him thought it was funny.
did you report it and point him out?

I moved seats during the game, then phoned the club after the game. Wish I had now to be honest :(

Was surprised at the number of Villa supporters still filling the stairwell trying to get in a good 10 minutes into the game - Hillsborough crossed my mind!
Bloke in front of me hurled abuse at the Villa fans around him throughout the game - pissed as a fart - also hurling abuse at our own players. Struggled to understand why he was doing this right from the start.
Also, mate further across our stand said he saw at least 2 fights between Villa supporters underneath the stand BEFORE the game!
Not witnessed it as bad as this for a long long time!

Things I didn't like about the behaviour of some of our fans:
Not listening to friendly stewards and insisting on doing their own thing and thus causing problems.
Pissing in wash basins. Not one or two but queues.
Unrepeatable Derogatory  insults towards locals about being from Bradford.
Breaking seats.

However most of our fans were fantastic and good humoured.

It will be worse at the Albion.

You get it when there is large away support and a lot of alcohol.

I thought we sounded fantastic but there was a moody atmosphere. It was kicking off with the locals on the way in.

I can't understand West Midlands finest allowing us to play at the Hawthorns at 5:30.

The Albion match might have a few more problems this year. Relative position of the teams, likely result, 5:30pm kick off on a Saturday....

Who are these wankers that follow our club away from home. Pissed up and clueless twats, smashing seats and swearing at stewards will get you only one thing, a bad fucking name. You need to grow up and get a life, nothing but bloody scum. I had 14 great years home and away, every game following Villa and very rarely had the misfortune to see this sort of shite. In my time it was a few beers and enjoy the game. Anybody who smashed stuff up lastnight should be ashamed of themselves.
