Title: Twinned with Falujah
Post by: dave.woodhall on February 28, 2017, 09:45:24 PM
Looking to see what the opposition think of us I stumbled across some bits of comedy gold. Be careful out there...

"Villa Park innit? Last time I was up there and saw City win, we were lucky to escape with our lives, stay sober, it might happen again."

"It's Villa, would be madness, do you have any idea about Brum at night... you don't want to be a walking target do you? Better just go straight to the ground keep your heads down and say nothing. If the Villains don't get you the WMP will. Not joking."

"sorry but this thread should be treated with a great deal of caution, it is not Brighton Bristol, or even Leeds, some crazy barstewards up there.... and to advise a pub on their    home turf...utter madness."

Sorry, didn't have time to read the thread. I was busy shooting people.

Could I request a brief summary?

In fairness to Brizzle C, it is mostly one salvation army nutter that is causing a kerfuffle, with others saying "we are here having a pint, what you on you on about?".

Its hardly going to kick off between Villa and Bristol City fans on a wet Tuesday night is it ? Do they think we are still in the 1970s ? 
Now if it had been Rovers, that would have been a different matter altogether.

.....they are used to going to visit Blues, not Villa so probably have had bad experiences as away fans.

Yeah, I winged a couple of robins in Aston Park but now the RSPB have me in lockdown.

Strange, the corner flags outnumber the hooligans for games these days.

Didn't see any Brizzle in the Aston Social, away fans aren't normally made welcome.

No, but if they've the common sense not to broadcast their presence, they'll be fine. Just as many of us have drank in away pubs while waiting for taxis or for traffic to clear, for instance.

Do you still get a free shotgun when you buy a home shirt or has that deal ended now?

I wonder how many of those worried about walking round in Aston/Witton are perfectly happy to stroll through St Pauls or Easton ?

You've got to laugh. Is this the same Bristol where they get toddlers to stop crying by pointing air pistols at them?

They had to discontinue that on health and safety grounds. Political correctness gone mad.

Those lovable Brizzles put me in hospital in 1982 when we beat them in the FA cup

To be fair I was part of a Villa contingent that was in their end - I got a right battering

Football and the good old day  - eh  ::)

That is a stereotype that holds true. Everyone drinks cider here and city fans seem to especially love Natch.

That's nothing. Some bloke came up to me and put a shilling in my hand and I was forced onto the high seas. By the time I jumped ship and got back to England, I'd missed Rotterdam and we were in the 2nd division ! Bristol is a  well dangerous place like that, avoid.

I was there in about '77/79 and was surrounded by a mob of them in a toilet - I had a broken ankle and one of the actually stopped them battering me on the understanding I would come next year and take them on when I was fit...

Twas the days of the hooligan I am ashamed to say  :-[ and I was a little player in some of it. The days of the Drakes Drum coaches were infamous

I remember being in their end and then a huge guy in a donkey jacket squared up to me - I smashed him a bute and he just stood there.  Next thing I know I was at pitch side being put on a stretcher as Jimmy Rimmer came out - I was told he came over to see if I was ok whilst their fans sang a chorus of "Does your mommy know you are here", People that were with me said I went down like a ton of bricks and had about 10 of them set on me and I was lucky the old bill got in and dragged me and a few other out - next thing I remember was waking up in the Royal Infirmary with the Police there asking if I could pick out any faces from a mug shot book - which I duly selected 3 at random

When my Dad came to pick me up I was in a state and was glad to see him until he got me in the car then he lamped me one as well for getting into trouble - proper parenting 80's style  :(

As we're talking Bristol.  I sincerely apologise in advance to all those who suffer the terrible speech impediment of stammering.  This is what happened to me and my mates:

In the early seventies, me and two mates were heading to Bristol Rovers, I was riding shotgun and as I'd been there before insisted I knew the way.  It was getting close to kick-off and we were lost.  I said we'd ask the next person we saw for directions.  There was a bloke coming towards us; so we pulled in and I asked him for directions.  He started to tell us; and he had this horrific stammer,  yu...yu...ggg.ggg. and so on.  To my eternal shame, I almost burst out laughing.  The poor bloke carried on trying to tell us and I was trying my best to hold it in.  Eventually, he moved to the rear of the car and opened the door.  I thought we're fucked, he's going to lose it here.  Instead, he got in and said to my mate in the back." muh, muh, muh, move ov,ov, over, I'll fuh, fuh, fuh fucking sh, sh, show yer.  It, it, it'll be, fuh, fuh, fucking qui, qui, qui, quicker!"

Fair play to him, he got us there in time for kick-off.  We gave him a quid apiece which, if he didn't go into town that night, would have bought him a fair few pints.

Apologies again.  I have no wish to offend or make light of an affliction but my immediate thoughts of laughing was nothing to do with piss-taking but a nervous reaction.
