Ahem, "Jack McGinn".

Spot on as ever, otherwise.

I like the understated, non sensationalised account of the game.  I like it because I’m contrast you say something I completely agree with, in that Grealish is emerging as an all time great.  He’s that good, and has the opportunity to get us back up.

Thanks for doing what the big press guys have failed to do and relegate that idiot’s actions to a minor paragraph.

In fairness it is a pretty newsworthy thing.

Like others i wrote off our play off chances a few games ago. I'm trying not to think about them now. Oops.

Sometimes it is difficult for a group of players to lift themselves emotionally, twice in a few days.  I hope we can do this though and get a positive result against Forest.  I also note that Tammy has only scored four times away from Villa Park.  What a great time to boost that track record too.

True enough. The Sky highlights just seem to focus more on the assault than the game, with slo mo and close ups. It just encourages the twats.

Good to see him condemn the incident so vigorously, the twat.

This is it, the whole football world condemn them, the ones I know at work wanted to dismiss it, same as the article from the blues fan, linked. One of your fans, in a coat with Zulu sign, runs on the pitch and assaults a player from the opposition, and it barely gets mentioned, and in the article moans about a penalty! The club and all of them should be ashamed. Don’t buy into there mentality, it is a big thing, it should be mentioned, it should be discussed. They have form on this from Sullivan / Gold, the Enckleman incident and Sunday.

Sums them up doesn’t it? Anyone doubting that only have to look at the Noses cheering and applauding when that thug assaulted Grealish from behind. Not to mention the continuing booing of him every time he touched the ball afterwards (as if it was his own fault).
They’re an absolutely rotten club from top to bottom.

So assaulting a player by both a fan and steward is not worth mentioning? Just that you think you got diddled out of a penalty? Stupid old bastard.
