Birmingham Mail new low

I absolutely cannot believe what they've put on their site about the knife wielding Villa fan this morning - that's me done with them!

Why is it a low?  A person who so happens to be wearing a Villa scarf is advertising wanting to go out and stab other football fans.  Why not report it and shop the little bastard? 

Good on them for highlighting it.

Every club has idiots following them. Posting up this on social media before the final wasn't the brightest move.

Surely as the little prick has posted it on social media his account is traceable?

That is what I thought. Making the scarf over the face a bit pointless.

I don't really see the problem with what the paper have done. The more people see the picture the more likely he is to be identified and dealt with. Can't think why the Mail wouldn't want to print the story.

That said, I'd imagine he was just acting a bit of a tit, and didn't really harbour murderous intentions. Unless he has previous, I hope they catch him and caution him to scare him out of such silliness in future.

They are now reporting that the lad has been in touch to say he is a school kid in the middle of his GCSES who didn't mean it literally and hopes they'l leave him alone cos he's in the middle of his exams!


Apparently the lad has been in touch with the police already to explain,  & appears to be a little bit mortified at how this has gone!

He's an idiot for doing it but why did the Mail feel the need to plaster his picture over their website when it's quite obvious he wasn't serious? Just another bit of proof that they're a pisspot paper.
