Behind the scenes at the Birmingham derby - guardian online video

[wittonwarrior]

Not all complimentary towards the police, but the main aspect was them having to deal with proper numpties bloose fans.

Surely the way forward if we play them next season would be to get the villa fans out first.  Food for thought though if we are again in the same division

West midlands finest do not come out of that at all well.  I fail to see the logic of keeping the away fans (us, in this case) in. Surely the diminished numbers of away fans bent on causing trouble would be easier to police/disperse than the larger number of home fans bent on mayhem. As this video shows

What can you expect when this is the Blose reaction from SHA board, theey really are thick bastards, one bloke even blaming the police for being there.

Very good policing from Bladen apparently.

He's a happy Dingle at the moment.

Lets be honest, if they would of let us out, they would of been doing what they usually do, running away and hiding in the local supermarket. They are that thick, they actually believe the horse shit they are fed. I mean, they own the city lol. Wankers, each and every one them, and they know it too!

Haha! Know how that feels to my embarrasment!

First of all how the heck have the police allowed this video to be broadcast.  Shows they didn't have a scooby.  Bladen appears to be a decent fella but he lacks any real say, that I think is obvious. 

As for the opposition.  There must be some decent bloose fans somewhere.  Appears that most inner city clubs have similar issues.  I am just happy that we are different.

The only people to come out of that video badly are the Noses who deliberately stuck around looking for trouble. One copper described them as “animals”. It says it all really.

All clubs have their dickhead fans - the Villa are no different.

Football would generally be better if fans concentrated on what they had in common rather than trying to beat the shit out of each other.

If they had let the Villa fans out, you would have had innocent football fans being pelted with bottles and rocks in the way the police were.

Not if they'd let us out first. We would have been gone in ten minutes and then their fans could have been released. Far better than making Villa fans wait two hours.

At the very least, they should be warned, via the media, the programme and their website, that failure to disperse in an orderly and prompt manner after the game will result in them being kept behind after future derbies.

What as disgraceful bunch of half wits.

The bit on 15:10 you can see a bloser picking up the sand bag off the road sign to use as a weapon.

We know they have a high percentage of arseholes but we were right up there for arrests at football matches http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42095049 (I know we a have larger crowds which skews it slightly).  They are not all bad and I'm sure most of us on here have family and friends who support them who are just normal people and football supporters. 

[cdbearsfan]

Of course, they're not all bad. I can't understand those that want to stay behind in the cold for an hour or more just to shout at some people for five minutes.
