Good prevails over evil. What an absolute disgrace of club they are. Jack you’re a hero for the goal. Mings best player on the pitch.
Hope our fans get home safe tonight
-
Justice.
-
Points deduction and fines coming to that lot. Never more deserved.
-
Welcome to Birmingham.
-
So glad to have ground that result out, we badly needed the 3 points and they showed the world what they are (if there was any doubt).
-
Lovely stuff and very sweet that Jack gets the winner.
-
Ohhhh yeeeeeees
-
Let’s have a laugh at Craig!
-
Put them back under their rock for another season. Justice is served.
-
Good win. Bigger game v Forest on Wednesday.
-
Tyrone Ming’s take a bow.
-
McGinn completely changed that match.
Mings MOTM but Jack a king.
-
Happy Jack.
-
Two Gardner misses and a penatly not given, no doubt their fans will be celebrating their 3-1 moral victory long into the night...
Seriously though, job done and we can forget about this lot for another year at least.
-
Thank fuck that's over! Justice done
-
One of my favourite derby wins. Jack scores the winner, after being assaulted by a player, 'fan' and a steward, Cro-Magnon misses 2 great chances and they show the world what absolute scum they are. 14 league games bitches.
-
How nice is it to have big, hard bastards who do the bullying in central defence! 💪🏼
-
Evil 0 Good 1. YESSSSSSSSSSS!
-
Mings was superb. Mcginn was excellent. Grealish goal & Gardner misses complete Karma!
-
Nobody gets less than an eight after that, horrible place horrible club. Terrible conditions, players attacked. Just get on the coach lads and come home.
-
Ha! EFL issued a statement saying they 'condone' the actions of the fan, then hurriedly had to amend it to 'condemn'
-
Good triumphs over evil yet again. Hope they get a massive fine and points deduction.
-
Karma for grealish.We bring glory and recognition to our city they drag it's name through the mud, how long before that cowardy little c@nt is in their hall of fame, probably be a statue of him outside that shithole before to long.
Oh and enjoy being inside, try not to get raped
-
Well done, Villa.
Them-fuck off.
-
Huge result, fantastic win, Jack really did take one for the team, hope he's okay, we need him now, build further on this and get out of this Championship.
-
What a fucking toilet that club is.
Credit to Jack and credit to the team in the last 2 games...has Steer made a save yet?
-
What a fucking toilet that club is.
Credit to Jack and credit to the team in the last 2 games...has Steer made a save yet? Mings needs signing asap.
-
It's not justice that we won. Justice will be a stretch for the nutter and a massive points deduction for the 'club'. Between that and FFP I hope it relegates them, they deserve it.
-
We must sign Mings. He is fucking immense.
-
That is the most resilient performance I've ever seen from us in a local derby. I wouldn't have blamed Smith for taking them off the pitch after what happened, but to come out of it with three points and a clean sheet, I've never been prouder of the Villa.
Hope they get a (further) points reduction to the one the EFL already have lined up and they spend the next two months scrapping for survival, only to go down on the final day. Forcing them to play behind closed doors is pointless as the place is always fucking empty anyway. I'd be glad to see that place napalmed, preferably on a match day with all 10k of the ****** locked in.
Try taking the moral victory today, you fucking pondlife ******.
-
Ha...blues fan on WM just claimed it was rogue Villa fan that attached Jack!!!

Hope the coppers have kept him updated on the game.

Mings, I'm a big fan of Chester but relatively speaking it was the best centre back performance I've seen from a Villa player since Laursen.
Grealish, resolute and majestic, scoring the winner being the perfect reply to the excitable baboons in the home end. Can you imagine the chief fuckwit when he hears the result whilst in the nick. Hilarious.
Steer and Hause also looked solid and the only players who were a bit off were the wingers, we need a couple in the summer.
-
How nice is it to have big, hard bastards who do the bullying in central defence! 💪🏼
Really got to sign Mings up, he is the leader we need back there. If Chester can come back after his rest and look like his old self even better.
Hause was a bit more dodgy but his first game at CB for a while so will cut him some slack.
-
I'm ashamed that some of those morons inhabit my town. Utter disgrace. Well done the Villa.
-
Davos diaries should be fun.
-
Great win all things considered. Hourihane's shot off the bar would have put us deservedly 2-0 up. Mings was superb, McGinn brilliant with ball when he came in, Grealish a Villa hero forever after today. Character, the kid has it in spades.
Thought we collapsed last five or ten minutes. Gardner missing two sitters, seemed to me that El Ghazi bottled out of tracking him for the header. Green and Bjarnsson were woeful they came in. But fuck it, none of it matters now.
-
Well done Villa for digging out that win. The table looks much better after a couple of wins and will be even better if we beat Forest mid week . We had the 4 class players on the pitch , Jack , Mings , Tammy and McGinn.
-

Can we stop putting fan in inverted commas. He was in the ground when you had to have the correct privileges to get a ticket and he had their top on. He was a fan.
-

Bet Franksy agreed.
-
Deserved win i thought. Smith got it right with McGinn i felt. Didn't walk straight back into the team and hence he was fired up when he came on Few sub-standard performances but overall we got out of their hopefully with no lasting damage if Grealish is ok. Personally the sooner we don't have to play this fixture the better.
-
please get us out this league . Im sick of playing these fuckers...
even with the double 6 pts :)

Fans are the numerous heathens that are condemning his actions.

Had one good run, but his touch was really poor giving the ball away a lot. For a kid with his physique he should be far more physically dominating too

Green and BB played for a fraction of the game and I thought did nothing wrong. Neither great or bad. Glenn Whelan on the other hand...good grief. Never should anyone suggest him over McGinn. And Adomah just looks finished.
-
WHY DO SKY KEEP SAYING HOW DISGRACEFUL IT IS BUT KEEP SHOWING IT? SHOW THE GOAL INSTEAD YOU TWATS!!!

Excellent. The Shit Pit done for another year

Reminded me very much of the 0-1 under MON in 09/10 (think that was our last win there before today).
Dunne and Collins on their debut were brick walls in the last ten minutes.
Mings seems to be of that same ilk, getting him full time has to be top priority this summer.
-
Nobody gets less than an eight after that, horrible place horrible club. Terrible conditions, players attacked. Just get on the coach lads and come home.
Great to get the win, if not a great performance. Thought Mings and Hause dealt with the physical threat well all game and thought we did look like we could create chances and did at times. Thought McGinn did really well when he came on.
-
Horrible game but we can be proud of our club today.
The way our players reacted to the first and second assault on Jack.
The performance of Ming’s who was immense.
To come away from that hell hole with a victory.
-
Rowett making excuses for him, showing your true colours today you utter knob.
-
What made the 'incident' even worse was all those morons behind the goal cheering the chav. At least everyone watching on TV got to witness what a complete sewer of a club they are. Hope they get the book thrown at them.
Thought we looked much better when SJM came on. Mings the Magnificent and Hause did well. Great karma for Jack to get the only goal.
-
AFter what happened I don't think I've ever wanted us to beat them more.
-
Meanwhile, in a custody suite, somewhere in Birmingham, a Police Officer open the hatch to a cell door and tells the prisoner, ‘by the way dickhead, Jack Grealish has just scored the winner for Aston Villa’. Poetic justice.

Whelan was shocking but the alternative is Hourihane.
-
Yes, amid the euphoria there were two or three rotten performances out there for us today.
-
That was horrendous on a number of levels, but we're back in the race.
What an absolutely classless club that is. All this "one fan shouldn't tarnish the reputation of an entire club" is bollocks, considering the reaction to so many in the ground to the incident.

When the alternative scores or creates 10-15 goals a season it's not even a debate.

Grealish is a legend.
Proud to be Villa.
Fuck off Small Heath!
-
Dean Smith in his post match interview criticising the Small Heath stewards for not doing their jobs and having a pop at the Small Heath fans for cheering on the incident.
Jack just laughed the incident off in his post match interview. More interested in his goal and the win.
Apparently Small Heath have issued an official apology for the incident.

Maybe but for the vast majority of that pondlife he'll be a hero

Absolutely correct, you'll get some people that will say, 'that's football', ' all happened before', even players launching themselves into the crowd to have a go, the massive difference now are the times we are living in, this has to be punished, at least a 10 point deduction, this is what would be expected for a financial transgression by the club so pure violence of this sort shouldn't be any less.

Yep. Many of them are probably already adding it as their screensavers and plastering it on the walls of their rat hole pubs as we speak.

SHA OS
Birmingham City Football Club would like to apologise to Jack Grealish and Aston Villa Football Club for an incident in this afternoon’s derby match.
We deplore the behaviour of the individual who committed this act and rest assured he will be banned from St. Andrew’s for life. The Club will also support any further punishment this individual may face in the eyes of the law.
The Club will be working with the relevant authorities to investigate all the circumstances and we will be reviewing our stadium safety procedures.
What happened has no place in football or society. Jack is a Birmingham lad and regardless of club allegiance should not have been subjected to this – there are no excuses.
Again, we apologise to Jack and all at Aston Villa Football Club.
-
Good to see Smith pointing out the '15,000 fans cheering on the attacker' which Sky and the BBC have failed to.
-
Apparently Small Heath have issued an official apology for the incident.
Through gritted teeth, no doubt.
-
Maybe but for the vast majority of that pondlife he'll be a hero
There's no doubt about it, Tait and Carr are heroes to them.
-
Absolute disgraceful loathsome club...horrible club, horrible team, horrible fans...absolute scum. The EFL and FA need to set a precedent and punish them with more than just a fine. The behaviour of their fans is replicated by their players on the pitch with cynical challenges and even up to the point of rugby tackling off the ball. Completely unacceptable behaviour on and off the pitch. Fuckin disgrace.
Massive respect and credit to the Villa players for keeping their heads under those circumstances. There were a few players that didn't perform (Whelan, Adomah, El Ghazi and Hourihane) but the forces of good overcame evil, and justice was done in the result...justice now needs to be served off the pitch to the evil bastard that assaulted Jack and suitable ramifications on the club.
Hope all the Villa fans get home safely this afternoon.
-
I hope we never ever have to play these scumbags again.

Smith also pointed that out on SKY and it was also discussed by Scott Minto, Gary Rowett and Lee Hendrie in the studio.
The EFL have also made a brief statement regarding looking into the matter and said there may be 'possible sanctions'.

I'm pleased Jack scored the only goal but I should be ecstatic after the win.

The punch from behind to Jack when he was walking away sums them up.
When they come face to face they are all talk
No class

Its really fortunate for Jack that the bloke is not just a coward but a complete limp wristed wimp, another bloke with some poundage and strength, catching somebody unawares, could have caused untold damage, severe concussion, brian damage, plus, to the side like that, mandibular damage, Jack's a lucky lad really.

He wouldn’t have punched Ming’s
-
Always have been and always will be utter pond life which has only been further evidenced this afternoon. The majority of their fan base will wear it as a badge of honour too like the utter mongs they are. I so grateful to my old man bringing up this way, and yeah, you know what, it’s tough at the moment but I fucking love my club for being everything those wankers aren’t.

Exactly mate. Look how many incidents they have been involved in over the years. This is a new low for them, but not surprising that it has happened there.

I'm no oil painting , but his really is an ugly c*nt .

I’m recently back in touch with my blue nose cousin who has been decent in his analysis of proceedings. I was worried that the incident would effect Jack for the entire game but class shone through, my windows nearly shattered and I’m a fucking happy man.
-
It’s took the edge off the victory for me. To beat them at the Sty with the winning goal scored by our captain who is a local lad and one of us should be a moment to savour. The attack on Jack is sickening and has no place in football regardless of rivalry.
It’s a sad day for football.

So, they return to the Sty after the commercial break at the end of the game and Minto opens with ‘disgraceful scenes here at St. Andrews’.
How many times over the years have they had to say that about that fucking shithole full of those fucking shithole wankers?
-
how likely is it that they will face punitive action? Is a points deduction a certainty - or is a fine more likely?. They were disgraced today by a thug believing himself to be a Peaky Blinder.

There were a few players that didn't perform (Whelan, Adomah, El Ghazi and Hourihane) but the forces of good overcame evil, and justice was done in the result...justice now needs to be served off the pitch to the evil bastard that assaulted Jack and suitable ramifications on the club.
Hope all the Villa fans get home safely this afternoon.
Agree with all except El-Ghazi. Thought he was great in the second half. Good ball retention and a calm head, exactly what the situation called for. He was indifferent in the first half, would agree.
-
how likely is it that they will face punitive action? Is a points deduction a certainty - or is a fine more likely?. They were disgraced today by a thug believing himself to be a Peaky Blinder.
Games played behind closed doors would be my guess. Has to be a deterrent, both for clubs and fans.
-
That was horrendous on a number of levels, but we're back in the race.
What an absolutely classless club that is. All this "one fan shouldn't tarnish the reputation of an entire club" is bollocks, considering the reaction to so many in the ground to the incident.
From sha
The EFL warned us about our fans a few weeks ago, so they they’ll be administering a no doubt fair and proportionate punishment.
-
Its really fortunate for Jack that the bloke is not just a coward but a complete limp wristed wimp, another bloke with some poundage and strength, catching somebody unawares, could have caused untold damage, severe concussion, brian damage, plus, to the side like that, mandibular damage, Jack's a lucky lad really.
Yes. There is a very, very serious side to what could have happened had the rag connected properly or had it been someone bigger. Getting punched from behind when you are not aware usually has terrible consequences.

They've had numerous suspended sentences over the years, no doubt this will be another one.
-

When the EFL issue a statement that includes the words 'possible sanctions' even before the players and officials have left the stadium it doesn't look good for Small Heath. I wonder how much of a hero that fan will still be to those who applauded him when the punishment is delivered?

I refuse to talk about the mindless idiot who took a pot shot at Grealish. Just hope serious action is taken against him and a proper ban from going to football.
I'm really pleased with the win. I was worried that after the high of last week we may revert back to our inconsistent form and that this had 0-0 written all over it. It's promising that we are starting to show signs of tightening up at the back. Timing is everything. It may turned out that we've got Jack back in form at the right time.
Feels like a massive week with the games against Forest and Boro. Could go a long way to deciding our season.
-
OS
Aston Villa Football Club is appalled by the disgraceful attack on Jack Grealish during today’s game.
A red line has been crossed by this cowardly on-field assault on a player, which is unprecedented in English football.
We trust the perpetrator will feel the full force of the law and the authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding today’s deplorable incident.
Local rivalries are part of the fabric of the game however, as we are sure our friends at Birmingham City would agree, to have a player’s personal safety placed under such jeopardy is a serious cause for concern for the entire football community.
-
Tremendous performance amid awful provocation on and off the pitch. I won’t fault any one of them today.
-

To true, the very second a boxer turns in a fight, away from his opponent the fight is stopped or should be stopped, Jack will be having scans, checking his vision all kinds of stuff, as said this toad offered no real strength, another bloke could have poleaxed Jack and game over.

What it will also do is affect any kind of leniency they might have had on the pending FFP violations. They just won't deserve it. It would be brilliant if the penalty was something like 15 points, massive fine, play behind closed doors and a transfer embargo.
-
They got away with throwing dart board darts and snooker balls at players. They will get away with this. Even without KB flashing her thighs.
-
Terrible attack, great result but someone needs to have a word with Jack about whatever's going on with his facial hair :)
-
Bluenose Pete on WM saying that fan hasn't brought shame on the club , started going on about terrorists !! Me neither.
Then belly aching about Hause not being sent off .
They can't spin this one into a moral victory , surely.
We all know they will. The fan who assaulted Jack will not representative of the true, honest working class Blues fans, they should have had a penalty and Gardner should have scored at the end to win it. All adds up to yet another moral victory for them.

Left to right, top to bottom, they're a vermin infested club.
Well done to every single player of ours today.
-
Just had a quick look on the Small Heath Alliance forum and most of them are suitably embarrassed and criticising the fan. One person did say that if they get punished for the pitch invader then they hope every other club gets the same punishment if someone invades the pitch. One of their more sensible ones did point out it was more than just a pitch invader and asked "what about the punch"? But some bloke known as 'Waggah' has put everything down to 'reactionary nonsense'.
-
The posts are truly disgusting, but you get one twat that thinks "that's only a few mins away" and you can have another serious incident. I hope the OB take action though, it's not the first time Alfie has posted disgusting stuff.
-
Meanwhile, in a custody suite, somewhere in Birmingham, a Police Officer open the hatch to a cell door and tells the prisoner, ‘by the way dickhead, Jack Grealish has just scored the winner for Aston Villa’. Poetic justice.
Inject it right into my veins

Some of them are staggeringly stupid. There's a massive difference between being a dick and just running on the pitch and running on the pitch and punching a player.

Great result and great win by Aston Villa today. The city is and always has been ours. I'm proud of all our players today as indeed should every Villa fan.Great 3 points, the playoffs is still on!
Regarding the apology from scum, shove it up your ar-e. They've only done it because they think it will buy them leniency with the authorities, not because they feel it. Villa's club statement in response is generally good.
As regards the "Kranky" b-stard who came on the pitch what a complete and utter cowardly bellend showing up the other cowardly bellends in the home stands who were applauding him. What a disgrace of a club and they should feel the full force of any punishment if football is to take this seriously.
F-ck off noses, f-ck off scum,"f-ck off you low life small heath wankers.

Always have been and always will be utter pond life which has only been further evidenced this afternoon. The majority of their fan base will wear it as a badge of honour too like the utter mongs they are. I so grateful to my old man bringing up this way, and yeah, you know what, it’s tough at the moment but I fucking love my club for being everything those wankers aren’t.

On train back from Sutton to Northfield and am surrounded by the ******... All loving it calling up their mates asking for you see Grealish get punched and having a good laugh.

There are serious knock-on consequences of this idiot's actions. Just how many kids will be turned away from the game as either players or fans? what example is being set? I can hear it now, 'Dad, can we go to the football on Saturday?' 'No!' They also have form for this kind of thing too, the Enkleman incident. I wonder what the charges will be for this fool? Whatever are the more serious are the one's he should be charged with, the one's that carry the heaviest sentence.
Also the action of the steward, what the hell was he thinking? He only proves that it is in actual fact possible to be terminally stupid.
There is also the fact that we are trying to sell our city to the world with the advent of the Commonwealth Games. Who's going to want to come here knowing that they could be assaulted by morons no matter what colours he wears? This evening we all share shame that the actions of cocks like those two have sullied the great name of our City
Mrs S, who is away just texted me to ask if I was happy. Having just beaten the Noses I should have told her that I was ecstatic, instead it was all about the two assaults on Jack.
If this doesn't receive severe punishment it can only be viewed as another infamous day in the demise of football, the game we all love.
-
It's not a giant leap to think that dickhead could have been carrying a knife. I honestly don't think that it's beyond a possibility with the hatred these lot have.
Anyway we showed our class & they showed theirs for the whole world to see.

Apparently the steward who kicked Jack has been arrested now.
Our city dragged down worldwide by idiots. Again!
If indeed it is found that the steward also attacked Jack, then this incident in my view is worse. The very people trusted to ensure safety is also to be seen as one of the perpetrators.

I saw one of them having a go at Dean for saying there were loads cheering and clapping the assualt saying "not a single person knows if they were cheering the attack or him being nicked", well the clue is the cheers and applause starts as he attacks Jack and before any stewards are near him. They really are bizarre.

Nice to get the moral victory as well as the actual victory today.

Grealish - the King of Birmingham

If you decide to wander over to the Small Heath Alliance forum and rather surprisingly find that to a man they are embarrassed by the incident and not condoning it at all you have to take into account that apparently all posts celebrating the assault on Grealish have been removed by those who run the site.
-

They must be fucking gutted that they can't even claim the moral victory this time.
-
Complete morons most of BCFC fans! A disgrace. A lot of them seem proud that the moron whacked Jack. Justice was done in the end - good over evil!
-
Hijacking the name of the city is not moral high ground. Being proud of origins in an honest, hardworking place like Small Heath is the high ground.
-
A lot has been said about Grealish. And the assault.
But can I just offer credit to the defence? 2 clean sheets in 2 games with a slightly makeshift defence today?
Mings has been a great signing. Hause, despite a couple of gasp moments today, looked composed. Steer wasn’t really troubled.
Massive improvement over the last 2 games defensively.
-
A number played well but Mings, McGinn and Grealish were the stand-outs. Nice feeling to be proud of the club again. 😁
Up the Fucking Villa.
-
Mings looks pure class. Proper leader at the back.
-
Sky highlights (https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/11661075/birmingham-0-1-aston-villa)
Grealish involved in all our positive moments.
Defending at end an absolute shit show mind you, Taylor playing their guy onside in the lead up to the first chance, El Ghazi failing to track Gardner for that corner. Lucky to get away with it. Penalty would have been very soft but Hause shouldn't have had his hands near an already falling Adams. Adams looked a quality forward today, playing in front of their very weak midfield, he was dangerous throughout.
Must say I like Steer in goal. Nothing skittish about him unlike the other clowns we have had in goal this season. Elmo doing well at right back since coming back in. Fair play to Hause coming in at right centre back but he didn't look comfortable there at times. We need Chester or Axel back asap.
-
The three points today was all that really mattered but nothing can compete with seeing the Villa fans celebrating a winning goal at the Sty scored by Villa supporting local lad. Gabby, Gary Gardner and now Jack. Wonderful. Oh and turncoat Craig Gardner missing a couple of sitters added to the pleasure today.
Very happy too that the Captain's armband was passed onto Ming. Whichever division we're in next season, I hope we can sign him in the summer. Outstanding performance on so many levels today.

I disagree, the way the game went in that first half I think having Whelan on benefited us. I love SJM and he's one of our better players but he can be a bit erratic tackle wise, as it was he was only on for half an hour after the game had calmed down and still picked up a booking. Bringing him on when we did was what won the game imo.

Totally agree. This is a first for me to be critical of Dean Smith, but I think McGinns omission was a mistake which could have cost us badly today. I would have left out Albert, but hey, who really cares - we won !

First half was always going to be tough. They're a lot better than they've been in previous seasons. We generally dealt with what they threw at us and Glenn Stefani was part of that. In the second half we went looking for the win and McGinn was a vital part of that. No criticism for Smith today from me.
Well done you Villa boys.

Bringing on a fully fit and pumped SJM after 60 minutes worked perfectly.
He helped win the game for us while Whelan helped us weather the storm early on.

Good performance all round really. Two fairly matched sides on the whole, but ultimately that extra touch of class saw us come out on top in a game that started very cagily. I think both sides knew, as far as a top 6 drive, this was must win.
The back line were good. Mings in particular and Hause too. The fullbacks played well. Even the much maligned Taylor had a fairly solid game.
Shoutout to Steer. He played our first game of the season and was good. We shipped him out. We then had months of slightly frightening goalkeeping from Nyland (he did improve to be fair, and his injury was sadly timed for him). Lovre came in and was a little shaky to start. Has Steer really let us down this season? Not for me, and he's hopefully going to finally get the run he deserved. I think our other two keepers have plenty of potential certainly (particularly Kalinic) so I'd probably be satisfied to see the current 3 go into next season, even if we go up. Steer was very composed today. Well played Jed because we've not dished out a lot of love to our goalkeepers this season on the whole.
Grealish as said a lot by all...class.
McGinn changed the game at a crucial point. He also offered the sort of movement that freed up Hourihane a bit more and he was much better in the second half after a quiet first. For me, without getting ahead, those three have plenty of ability that will suit the Premiership.
Green also played pretty well when he came on. Adomah has struggled to impact the game in offence, but conversely was disciplined going back.

4 points off the play offs. Plenty of time to go.

Obviously delighted by the result. They hate us all the more because we have a local lad who is a hero and wins derbies for us. It must fucking hurt them more than anything.
The most bizarre thing for me is that he had a Zulu Bomber Jacket on....FFS, hilarious!

Thought we deserved to win without playing great, overall we had the better chances. Jack was immense, considering what he went through. Thought Hause looked shaky on the right, Mings was superb, even Taylor played well. McGinn made a difference when he came on, onwards and upwards. UTV.

How does having the city's name give them a moral high ground? They really are bizarre.
It's all they have. And after today they don't even have that.

A Zulu in a cowardly attack, what a surprise!
Did he do the Zulu hand signals to the crowd when he was escorted off the pitch?!

Well that will be talked about for years.
I am outraged that our player was attacked on the pitch. Absolutely reprehensible. I used to dislike them now I really hate them. I felt sick during that half and this was supposed to be a football match!!
First half was shite other than that slide rule pass from Jack to let El Ghazi in. Typical tense derby affair.
2nd half came much more into the game with McGinn on. I agree with Smith, Whelan allowed us to weather the storm and McGinn was just let off the leash when we went in search of the winner.
Heart in mouth moment twice from Gardner who could have snatched a point.
When the goal arrived - justice done.
We will go up in the playoffs and Jack will take £40m to prise him from us.
I think the momentum will be with us and hopefully we will beat O’Neills forest too.

I didn't agree with it at the time but we've won 4 of the last 16 second division games, any manager is going to have questions asked of them for that kind or run.
As an aside, I hope Stuart is ok.

He is one off the massuers

how likely is it that they will face punitive action? Is a points deduction a certainty - or is a fine more likely?. They were disgraced today by a thug believing himself to be a Peaky Blinder.
When the EFL issue a statement that includes the words 'possible sanctions' even before the players and officials have left the stadium it doesn't look good for Small Heath. I wonder how much of a hero that fan will still be to those who applauded him when the punishment is delivered?
Still a hero. They don’t give a fuck about points and stuff. They’re not normal.

Correct, they are not. They are almost the perfect club in this crazy age, as they have have been operating in the post-truth era decades before anyone else.
-
Hopefully a points deduction for that disgraceful attack on Jack and for breaching FFP will see them relegated!
-
Points deduction and fines coming to that lot. Never more deserved.
It's unlikely to be points deduction. EFL have already washed their hands off it by saying "this incident falls within the remit of Football Association". FA can only impose a fine and/or ground closure for one or more games. The FA can not deduct points only EFL can do that.
-
Huge credit to Jack. After being clobbered early on as a deliberate target by Kieftenbeld (again), to come out and play with such composure after the diabolical assault was so impressive, let alone scoring the winner.
I think many of us will know Blues fans who are quite reasonable and who were ashamed of it and there are plenty on their forum who are disgusted. However, they have always attracted an element which seems to perpetuate.
I wonder if one way to help to address the issue in future could be to normalise the fixture somehow?
I know it's not going to happen, as aside from the police, pubs don't want the hassle and TV schedules also dictate, but if it were occasionally a non televised 3 pm fixture on a Saturday, then it could take away some of the mystique and hype about the match. There could still be the required security in place. No, I know it won't happen.

On a short break, we watched the game in a bar, which was also showing the Liverpool game - seemed slightly odd viewing our game and hearing the Liverpool commentary. From what I could gather most of the people interested in our game were Villa fans with a few Noses. A Villa fan near me swore and apologised to me. He obviously didn’t know me, I thought it was kind of quaint.

To be honest the Blues fans for the most part are horrified and condemned it , fair play to them .
-
I disagree, the way the game went in that first half I think having Whelan on benefited us. I love SJM and he's one of our better players but he can be a bit erratic tackle wise, as it was he was only on for half an hour after the game had calmed down and still picked up a booking. Bringing him on when we did was what won the game imo.
Agree !00%. Better to have brought him than started him.
-
The ones in the stadium that cheered are, presumably, hypocritically condemning it, too. Anyone who has ever shouted "Zulu" at a match, or waited by the McDonald's at Coventry Road for hours to shout at Villa fans from the safety of behind a row of police is part of the problem.
It's their culture, it's all they are. The World would be a better place if they ceased to exist.

I have to strongly disagree with that.
If they ceased to exist that would be like a six point deduction for us each season we are in the same division as them.

Mings, McGinn, Jack - absolutely brilliant. Tammy too, although little came off. I think we’ll be in the play offs if those 4 stay fit.

I thought Taylor might have been our weaknesses today. Fair play to him he put in a decent performance.

Don't forget the "Real Brummies support Blues" banner.............just 24,000 real Brummies then. The funny thing is they think it bothers us along with the City name crap...............lol!

So what me & my lad laugh at the sty was two songs from the unwashed
1, You’re not from Birmingham, you’re not from Birmingham,
Then, after that,
2, You’re the shit of Birmingham..
So how can we not be be from Birmingham & the shit of Birmingham?
Bless em, there not the brightest 😁😁
-
Mings was immense, he really is a top player and seems to be enjoying himself. Game changed when Mcginn came on, is a real class act. As for Jack, must have been shook up by the moron but class came to the fore
-
Once we get promoted, I'm looking forward to years of never playing that lot, even though it's a guaranteed 6 points.

Hope we never play the Zombie, unwashed for years, hate them

This made me chuckle from a Man U forum.
Grealish's nighttime prayer last night:
"Dear God, please let us beat Birmingham tomorrow and let me score the winner. And oh please have a Birmingham fan invade the pitch and punch me so that their ground gets closed down and they lose points. And, just one more, please have a steward kick me and be arrested while I'm being mobbed by my fans so that Birmingham City football club has been shamed in every respect."
"Alright. But don't take the piss like this again."

I've just been talking to my daughter and she tells me that it has appeared on her Facebook feed that the moron that assaulted Jack is employed as a nurse of some kind. It beggars belief that someone who is a member of a caring profession could stoop so low as to act like that, then you remember Harold Shipman. It is Facebook though, so much salt and pinches are required.

There is a photo of him in some sort of hospital attire. Fuck knows what he works as, I imagine his employers will be thrilled to see his face plastered all over the local and national news.

At first I was told he worked for the NHS. Then he runs a bar somewhere. His FB profile has disappeared.

What a sweet result. As for the Jack incident, well we’ve always known fans from Small Heath angry, bitter, nasty bastards, but now the rest of the country do as well. And what’s Jack’s crime? Well he’s a Brummie Villa fan who happens to be a cracking player and they hate him for it. The green eyed monster has a permanent residence at The Trillion Trophy Stadium.
-
I can not accept that most Blues fans condemn this idiot. I was lucky enough to be in Corporate hospitality at the Sty today albeit incognito. When fans around me realised what was happening to a person they cheered, laughed and clapped. At half time and after the game the chat was around he deserved it because he play acted to get Kieftenbeld booked and that enraged the fans. One of them actually said "well that will teach him". So sorry but they are almost all abnormal.
-
I know it feels good beating them 5 -2 on aggregate and they have been represented by a violent thug whereas we have a local boy, lifelong fan who picked himself up after a punch from behind and won the match... but it grieves me to my core that we aren’t Birmingham Villa. It makes the whole actual and moral victory somehow hollow that we didn’t have the integrity to change our original and historic name.
-
Thats the thing, I'm not sure why they despise him? Never really done anything personal or dis-respectful to them. Doesn't really wind them up like Gabby did. Is it because he supposedly goes down easily or Is it simply because he's a Villa fan thats also a bloody good player that they have this massive agenda against him?

Just look at the fans react when the punch was thrown, they were bloody cheering and applauding. Throw the fuckin book at them and dock ‘em points.

The only crime Gabby committed against them was to score loads of goals.

I asked similar questions last night and the closest I could come up with was Leeds - Bradford. Leeds don't give a shit about them unless they're playing them and even Bradford aren't anywhere near as obsessive as the Rags. Maybe that's what makes the Rags unique.

Devastating that none of us can have a celebratory drink in any of the pubs in the City Centre tonight either.

Only just seen the footage, absolutely flabbergasted but at the same time not shocked either. They're absolutely rotten to the core as a club, have never really stood for anything other than resentment and pure envy. It's just what they've become over time. All this KRO and peaky blinders shite, I'd rather follow an actual football club than a faux working class fashion statement you can buy. Then again Villa did invent the league, by contrast there isn't a hell of a lot about being a bluenose that has much to do with football - a factory for plastic gangsters.
A mate of mine across the Nullarbor in Perth works with a Bluenose and former Zulu. I've never even met this bloke, dunno his name but somehow he found out his colleague has a Villa supporting mate in me. When we went down a few years back, he requested to have a photo sent to me with the two finger salute. It gave me the shits at first but over the years I've grown to find such churlish levels of pettiness quite amusing.
Anyhow, this is a post match thread. Well done Jack, well done all. Order is restored or should that be remains in tact. Crack on Villa, get promoted, 4-6 points this week please.

first time post on an actual game on this forum so be easy with me -lol
watched it on sky and has a neutral the first word i would describe it as was frantic , a typical derby game . obviously the numpty that went onto the pitch takes centre stage and hope he gets put down for a long time but I think you just edged it although they had a good shout for a penalty
was fearing the worse when i saw Taylor in the starting line up as the hordes on here gave me the general impression that he's been pants for you lot this year so was refreshing to see him play well going forward and looked solid defending .
Hopefully will be named in the Wale squad for our game against Slovakia in 2 weeks time
i guess most are on the razz celebrating tonight !

Happy to say I am never following this club again! Goodbye Birmingham city you've ruined my life for the last 17 years but no more!!! Hahaha say goodbye to your fans.

Positives
I felt we defended very well. Mings dominates, but Hause didn't look out of place.
Jack oozes class, both in his immediate reaction and the goal.
We should have had a few more, especially first half.
McGinn showed his class. He just moves the game on so much quicker and has boundless energy.
The away was all limbs when the goal when in. Scenes as the kids would say.
The escort was a bit annoying, stop/start around the back.of beyond, but it beat waiting on a car park for an hour. An improvement.
Negatives
A bit wasteful at times and too deep for the majority of the first half.
Elmo was a culprit and Adomah poor too. A couple of changes needed for Forest.
Lots of aggro today. Trouble by the Forge, trouble at the away end, a moron on the pitch. When they whip themselves up into such a pre-game frenzy it's not surprising this happens.

Cheers, always welcome your posts on here. Really hope you stay up to prove the naysayers wrong and I quite like Colin tbh. Football aside, if Ireland happen to lose to Wales next week I think I'll cope. ;)

I agree with others on here re the hatred for Jack. He's a Brummie lad, has never ever said anything detrimental about other clubs, kept his own counsel during the Spurs saga, gets on with the game, never acts the big I AM, I just don't understand it. A lad I sat next to at the Derby game said he had lots of mates at university who supports lots of different teams and can't understand why they all seem to hate Jack Grealish. Must be that he's class and gets fouled a lot - but surely that's not his fault, he's certainly no diver.
-
thought the keeper looked class today as well
-
Sorry for Hutton with his injury but we look better without him.
-
Trillion trophy stadium... however much I try I can't help but smile every time I read that. It's so unashamedly naff.
Not to mention inaccurate!
-
The main reason seems to be because he's very good and plays for us. It's very funny that as the threat of Gabby ends, now it's Jack beating them.
It does annoy me how Jack has a reputation as a diver amongst fans of other clubs, if they watched week in week out they'd see just how often he is hacked down. I'm amazed he isn't injured more often they way teams clatter him so often.

Every single ‘football fan’ , even the scum that attacked Jack today, would love him in their team.
The fact is they are jealous, I think it’s as simple as that. Some of them let their jealousy manifest itself by making a ****** out of them.

first time post on an actual game on this forum so be easy with me -lol
watched it on sky and has a neutral the first word i would describe it as was frantic , a typical derby game . obviously the numpty that went onto the pitch takes centre stage and hope he gets put down for a long time but I think you just edged it although they had a good shout for a penalty
was fearing the worse when i saw Taylor in the starting line up as the hordes on here gave me the general impression that he's been pants for you lot this year so was refreshing to see him play well going forward and looked solid defending .

DC, when Monk was Swansea manager was he always in the Western Daily Mail saying they had to beat Cardiff every interview?!
Two spread page in the Times yesterday basically saying that's all he had to do in this job and he also referenced it in his post match interview.
No ambition to get promoted, just "beat da Villa." Which they don't do anyway.
-
My thoughts. Rowett was generally ok, clearly didn't want to upset either club.
Disgraceful incident, complete moron but how the hell did he get that far?
Jack, Mings, McGinn, Hause were great. Albert was pants.
Great substitutions, although Green really does need some work.
Did Steer actually have a proper save to make? Agent Gardner, cheers mate.
Don't let this be another false dawn.
-
Should their keeper have done better with the goal?
-
Thank god for super jack! All the woodworm noses came out of their holes this week giving it the big I am. I know a few noses, decent fans but there is something sinister about their support that is like something that crawled out of the pits of Mordor. Hasn’t it been a while since we did the double over them as well? But of course it’s a moral victory to them. I imagine they are still in the square peg claiming we are never seen in brum and enjoying their moral victory and had they scored two goals etc. Twats
-
Still buzzing at the result but all my thoughts on the technicalities of the game have been made already.
I would add that Jack’s attacker was celebrated throughout the game by a good section of the crowd singing “one punch and he knocked him out”
A trivial point but it sums up the quality of the club we visited today.
Water was £2, cheaper than anywhere else. It arrived at the counter in a paper cup which I took to my seat. Upon tasting it – it was tap water! Cheapskate club.
-
Should their keeper have done better with the goal?
Yes, although he looked to me like someone that operates the waltzers at Stechford Fair rather than a goalkeeper so you cant be too harsh.

What surprises me is that everyone is surprised. If you know them, live amongst them and listen to them then you know that this was inevitable.
If I was Dean I'd've took the players off the field, it's long overdue, the club should be disbanded .

I think he did very well. As well as could be expected of someone bolted to the floor and both arms in tied.
-
Super Jack.
What that twat bluenose has also done is highlight, nationally, what we already know. That he is the best player in this league by a country mile. That is why he gets the attention he does from other fans.
Hopefully, lets push on and smash into that top 6 now.
-
Terrible attack, great result but someone needs to have a word with Jack about whatever's going on with his facial hair :)
We've got a Villa werewolf!

Meanwhile, in a custody suite, somewhere in Birmingham, a Police Officer open the hatch to a cell door and tells the prisoner, ‘by the way dickhead, Jack Grealish has just scored the winner for Aston Villa’. Poetic justice.
This, this, this. A thousand times.
Danny Baker tweeted that earlier today as well!
-
We don't always cover ourselves in glory it has to be said, now that Alfie Perkins is having his address plastered all over the internet and it's being reposted by a number of Villa fan pages. He deserves to have his collar felt for his disgusting posts but it only takes one twat to take it further now.
Only just seen that, it absolutely beggars belief.
Engage your brain before you post, would be my suggestion as this is always a possibility (being named and shamed etc). I hope nothing happens to him or his family.
I’ve seen about £150 worth of pizzas being delivered to his house

I don't see the point of that. He's not going to pay for them, is he? So some local company is out of pocket and a minimum wage driver probably gets told off and gets no tip for his efforts.

Well known Blues fan / Zulu Baz Patterson has offered to mert him and teach him a few life lessons by getting him to help with his homeless charity work. Quite a few noses seems to have tweeted his home address, many exhorting Patterson to sort him out.
-
Call me crazy but if someone ordered 150 pizzas off me I reckon I’d ask a few questions and possibly ask for payment up front.
-
From what I saw it was a bunch people ordering different stuff from different places for delivery to him after his address was posted online.
-
Wonder how the Gardners are spending this evening ? So sweet that a Villa reject who makes sure every one knows he is a bluenose and hates the Villa should miss two chances to score .As for Gary ,he must be desperate to want to play for such a evil club.
-
the Villa journey. Nightmare trying to walk through the unwashed as you reach the shithole of a ground. They could at least give the cesspit a coat of paint. No alcohol in the Gill Merrick, really it is their view that Villa fans are the ones who can't behave.
The assault, Villa should have walked off. Mind you the assaults on Jack were in the spirit of the game with a shithouse of a referee.
The assault (no 1) we all know what occurred.
The first half they had the possession but we had 3 good chances, El Ghazi scuffing the best of them. A decent connection 1 up. But what a ball from Jack.
With Taylor its like down to 10 men and Houlihane not far behind for most of the game.
Not targeting Grealish - bullshit! Mind you I take that as a compliment. He really is our stand out player like Francis was theres in the 70's.
Second half we grabbed control and deservedly won the game.
Assault 2 - didn't really see anything at the time.
The end and that old codger trying to move our players on, only for Smith to appear - showing his claret and blue supporter in him.
Walk back into town - back on New Street for 3 15pm so could have been worse.
-
The ref was as bad as we’ve had this season, and weve had some terrible ones.
-

He was really inconsistent. Let some weird stuff go and then stamped down on weak challenges. The decision to give Blues a free kick just outside the box, when clearly, both players were holding each other was particularly strange. That said, the penalty claim was a close one and booking their lad after four minutes was totally right and stopped him from dishing it out like he did at Villa Park.
-
He really was. Not in control at any stage and visibly terrified after the incident. Even at the end, the extra minute or so for no reason, was just dumb. Just get the bloody game wrapped while nothing else mental has happened.
-
I thought he got nearly every decision wrong, countless ones against us and should have given a penalty against Hause and then sent him off for pulling that shit ****** back when he’d lost control on the half way line.

Is it just me or did anyone else read that in a Rhod Gilbert accent? :)
-
Our players showed tremendous character, discipline, organisation and team spirit, and a few moments of sublime skill.
There seems to have been little mention of the gusting westerly wind and the state of the pitch which made passing along the ground something of a lottery; I reckon El Ghazi would have scored from Jack's exquisite through pass if the ball hadn't bobbled.
-

Our run there is remarkable in that the last person to score there for us that didn't come through our academy is Kevin Philips some 14 years ago.

Not sure that’s right, James Collins scored there under O’Neill

Last time I went to the Sty was at the invitation of SHA. I was doing consultancy for the Birmingham Cooperative Society who were their sponsor. I sat in the Directors's Box. I cheered a bit of Villa excellence upon which a Nose two rows in front lunged back over the seats and punched me in the face. I left and will never enter that pit of evil ever again.

It's great with a bit of Celine Dion, too!
That's the way, Jacky lad!

This was obviously a long time ago mate, they're not that type of club now......
-
It was a scrappy affair and a typical derby really. Some of the passing from us was pretty dismal. I text some mates at half time and said we needed McGinn on to take the game by the scruff of the neck and that's just what he did. Great win, not the best performance but obviously delighted that it was Jack who got the winner.
-
They're never fluid performances or games easy on the eye there. Typical derby fare.
How many years since a win by more than 1 goal for us?
-
It hurts them that they're always close games there that we more than often come out winning. So close but so far for them.
-
The first time I ever went to the Sty was 1948 against Charlton. A girl in the Tilton Rd End was raped during the game. Plus ca change Plus c'est la meme chose.

Justice done, Justice served.

Is there a video of Gardner’s rugby tackle on Grealish out there yet?! Hilarious.

If we play with that level of focus for the rest of the season we will be in the play offs.
I really, really want us to go up. In Mings, Hause, McGinn, Jack and Tammy we've got half of a very good side and I'd love us to keep them. I think all of those could play top half in the Premier League.

Yay! A self-styled Zulu 'superthug' dispatched to sort out a wannabe Blose hard man. It'd be a tremendous gesture from the single-eyed Saint. Yes indeed.

One of my favourite moments of yesterday was when Gardner stuck that header wide and the Kop went up and started celebrating. Hahahahaha twats.

His shot went in off Ridgewell though, so you can still say Phillips' goal was the last time we scored there whereby the last touch wasn't from somebody who came through our academy.

Absolutely. You just know they would have been celebrating their one-all "victory" for decades to come if it had slithered into the net. Such a shame.

Over the moon with the result and I'm so proud of Jack the way he conducted himself after that animal decided to attack him from behind what a complete coward justice was served and so proud of my club Aston Villa the way the team and fans behaved a great credit they are to my beloved football club I'm walking on cloud nine after the weekend.

Gardener was the best defender on the pitch after he came on. Those 2 late clearances were top drawer.
-
Great result obviously but I must say the way they've outed themselves for being the obsessed, classless pricks that we've come to know them as has been a joy to behold. Yesterday really was their slow motion car crash of an occasion. This will haunt them forever.
As for us well the play offs are back on again, we have momentum and I think this is now the best side we've out out all season. A bit of overdue luck would be nice here on in too. UTFV.

He's the ultimate cock. Spent years pretending he supported a different club to fit in .Then outs himself not long before handing in a transfer request the second his ''true'' love that he's kept secret for years get relegated. Then proceeds to play shit in every single game against his sworn enemy, the club he pretended to support for years.
He just sounds like a total twat and he can take his shitehouse brother with his fake KRO's with him too. The pair of them are shit and twats.
-
I’d be having the lawyers have a look at Gardener jnrs loan contract to see if we can cancel it. If they can’t ensure the safety of players there must be a get out.
-
I wouldn't bother. Leave him there for the rest of the season, he isn't worth any effort. Take him back in the summer and sell him, they won't have any money for him but they've enhanced his value for us as before this season we wouldn't have gotten a penny for him.
-
Oh don’t get me wrong, I don’t give a shit if he’s safe or not, I’m just thinking of ways of being vindictive.

There was a point where Monk was arguing with the 4th official for about 5 mins, I couldn’t hear the commentary. What was that about?
-
Probably something we did was unfair or lucky or something as equally pathetic. Until they stop blaming the world, luck, Villa, bad refs etc they will continue to lose to us, they don't take responsibility for anything. In fact I'd say they resemble children.
Incoherent rants when they don't get what they want.
Jealousy.
Trouble controlling their emotions.
Making up stories.
Temper tantrums.
They're man babies when it comes to Aston Villa.

I think it was Jukiewitz ( I don't know how it's spelt). Had gone up for a header and was indicating he'd been elbowed.
Was quite surprised he took the bandage off, given how weak the referee was I thought he'd start giving him free kicks out of sympathy.

I can't recall what the exact incident was that annoyed Monk but you could clearly lip read the fourth official saying "calm down Garry, Garry please calm down" whilst gesturing the same thing to Monk with his hands.
I have just caught the tail end of Jim White's take on yesterdays game. Whilst he was being scathing about the actions of the Small Heath fan who assaulted Grelish he was also having a pop at Grealish for jumping into the Villa fans to celebrate his goal. To be fair Danny Murphy shot him down by saying you can't compare the two incidents in any way whatsoever.
Sorry, just seen the post by danno. As danno said Monk's complaints were about an elbow on Juicybits. I think to be fair Juicybits did cop an elbow (from Mings I think) but the ref deemed it accidental.
-
It was from Tammy and it was as clear an accident as you are ever likely to see.

I don't know why Craig Gardner decided to pretend he supported Villa instead of Small Heath. All he did was alienate fans of both clubs with his bullshit. The likes of Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman and Jamie Carragher were all open about growing up as Everton fans when they played for Liverpool.
-

According to Sky, there had been a break in play and Monk seemed to think that the resulting drop ball should have been much nearer the Villa goal and contested. I can’t quite remember how play was actually restarted.

Hilarious all those Blues fans telling him to fuck off when he missed the second one ;D

Think I posted yesterday but can’t quite remember due to a bit of drinking. Woke up with a slight hangover but I’m back on it now as I’m off to a gig. My Mrs spent about half hour last night drinking from an empty glass before I pointed it out to her. My dog was covered in pizza toppings and I’ve had an email confirmation of a purchase of a new bit of garden furniture. Unfortunately my betting account is empty though even after our win got me a few quid.

Think that was it. Ball was played back to Steer uncontested and I think Monk thought it should have been their ball.

Top day all round. Took my 8 year old to that tip for the first time. He's seen a few of the derbies at Villa. Such an eventful day, so many amazing moments for him. Everything that could happen did.
Left Bournemouth at 7. Parked up by 10 in city centre NCP.
Decided to go in the Square Peg. Was mainly Blues, but we didn't get any grief and the bouncers seemed to hover around us...strangely.
Walked to the ground keeping a very low profile, and then in. Back row, right in front of the boxes. Well, that made for an interesting afternoon. Nipped out for a quick vape(me not Joe) and saw Dean Smith, who was so nice and came over to say hello to us and have a chat with Joe…what a gent. Back in and Joe meets Max from YouTube Villa on Tour page. I can confirm 8 year old’s do idolise YouTube personalities.
Then the game, nerves as usual but pure carnage in the away end as many will know. I think the guys in the boxes were actually baying for blood. But to be fair, us and others were giving them some real stick. I think when I took a photo of them looking all glum at the final whistle I actually sent them into a frenzy. Joe waving his villa shirt at them probably inflamed the situation a bit too, All harmless fun, and we certainly weren’t acting aggressively. Unlike those folks. If anyone saw that I certainly don’t encourage my kids to strip off in public.
Police escort back to some part of Brum I wasn’t very familiar with, but the officers were all good lads and did keep us safe. Lot’s of pockets of Blues looking quite up for it. Joe was by now utterly revelling in the enormity of going to the Sty and watching our team turn them over. I don’t honestly think I have ever seen him so happy.
That wasn’t the end of it though, as we were being held at one off the police cordons they guys next to me were having a Video WhatsApp chat with Tammy direct from the changing room. One of these lovely lads then handed his phone to Joe. Joe basically screamed Tammy at him about 10 times, and i’m sure Tammy was left thinking that kids Dad needs to get his lad off the sugar.
The police cordon broke up. We found our way back and were back in Dorset by half 6 after what I can only say was a magical day. Aside from the despicable behaviour of certain individuals it will live long in the memory.
He walked in to school like a boss this morning. Eager to share his stories with all the AFC Bournemouth peers of his.
Up the Villa, and sorry for the long post. I just had to let it all out.

Great post damien.
UTV mate.

Damien, that is fantastic. Unfortunately my eldest daughter was in total shock at the Grealish incident so getting my kids to VP for a Derby will be hard work unfortunately.

So my stat technically still stands, I just need to word it slightly different, hurrah!
Apart from the bit about ‘under O’Neill’.

Great post Damien. I was ten when I went to my first derby and it was a horrible, hostile experience, so I'm really pleased your boy had a day to remember for lots of good reasons. You must both be ecstatic.

racism aswell, 40 seconds in.
Done themselves proud today that club have.
That shirley must've been edited by a bitter Villa supporter. Gary Monk said their fans have been magnificent - bar the "one idiot" yesterday... ::)
That racism clip ought to be sent to the EFL as well ...

To be fair, you're on to something. In all the derbies since 02/03:
Gabby x5?
Gardner
Grealish x2
Ridgewell OG
Cahill
Barry
That does seem disproportionately high

It was the usual scrappy derby at their place. With the usual result. I will have to pen something for the mag though because their obsession with us is getting beyond silly. At what point are they going to actually be taken to task for the behaviour of the morons that whip themselves into such a fervour for games with us?
Whether it was the twat goading Enckleman, constant coin throwing, flares fired into the away end, it being like Agincourt behind the wall as we are penned in for hours yet again, the military operation at Villa Park that is massively inconvenient to home supporters, running people over because they are sulking about losing, top down deliberate pandering to that hatred to get the idiots onside from board/managers/players, to our players being assaulted by their supporters and match day staff, of nothing being off limits in terms of human decency on social media right down to the fucking peasants starting a go fund me campaign for their new hero.
I am genuinely disturbed at how many otherwise probably reasonable people turn into raving loons just because they are playing us or share a city with us. It is unhealthy.
Like having a stalker that you hope the restraining order works on but who likely has a shrine to you in their bedroom and will one day try to stab you to death if they can get close enough.
They are fucking weird. I was equally disgusted by how many kids can be seen in stills of that fat fuck who whacked Grealish being taken away in their crowd who were grinning, cheering and clapping. What fucking hope is there for them, being brought up to hate like that?
The FA and EFL need to get their act together and hand out the most extreme punishments possible because this bullshit won't stop until they do.
I shouldn't have to fear for the safety of my sons and I going to a game but wouldn't countenance taking them to a game with that lot.
It is like some odd death cult out of Waco. Like the Westboro Baptist Church. Like kamikaze pilots who are so bought into the myth of the Emperor they will happily top themselves. And all over a game of football.
Fucking mentally deficient tramps.

Excellent post, got into a heated debate at work with a blues fan, who didn’t go! I mentioned all of this and how they have a sizeable section who exist to hate us. He thought Monk being pictured with the sotv flag as funny, I mean he’s the manager, he should be above that, it runs very deep over there
-
I'm coming round to the idea that a large number of them have a personality/mental disorder.They'll never change it's who and what they are, and most importantly they don't want to change because it's their badge of honour and they wear it with a twisted pride.They are fucked in the head.

Fair play chelts I think you have captured the feelings of most villa fans.

Anyway on the brightside. We still have an outside chance of the play offs and they have the chance of mid table mediocrity...yessssssss....fuck em.

Hate to link to their forum again but they really live in a different world don't they?

"Whole of the nation despises us." Yes today and maybe tomorrow and then you'll go back to being an irrelveance.
"We are no Fulham, Reading or v***a, never have been, never will be. Never want to be. I even hate us. It’s beautiful, our rough, messed up, radio rental rollercoaster club is pure entertainment. No other club comes close."
You're a club f***ed over by a succession of awful owners....so yes just like most clubs in this country nowadays.
"Seriously, who wouldn't want to support the blues. It's marvellous.
The level of entertainment at this club is second to none.
Up the fecking blues."
They've been in this division since 2011. No promotions or relegations, indeed they've narrowly stayed up in 3 of the last 5 seasons. All stuff that was happening to us in the premier league and they found incredibly boring.
Don't really want to keep linking but when you read the stuff you do see the warped vision of how a section of their fanbase views the world.

Most of your own fans looking at your gates, you fucking twat.

Didn't Garry Thompson and Gary Shaw both score in this fixture more recently than any Brummie Blose player, too? Maybe Walters and perhaps Daley in the League Cup, too?

Just who is the last Brummie to score for them in the derby, then?

Just who is the last Brummie to score for them in the derby, then?
David Davis was born in Smethwick, depends if we count that as we're counting Solihull. If we count it then 2016.

West Bromwich Strollers don't.

If you're born in Solihull, you're still Brummie. I was born there. Smethwick doesn't count.
-
What is weird this bloke Mitchell, commited his crime, got caught, went before the beak, got sentenced and got sent down in less than 24 hours, kudos to our judicial system, it works lol!!, seriously Fred West, Huntley, you name it all took ages to get what was coming to them, you have to say this is strange.
-

Only reason i'd count it is because he could have been born closer to Brum than Jack was, although I have no problem not counting it, I was just throwing it out there. If we don't him then fuck knows, we're back to the 80s at least for a Brummie scorer for them.

He could hardly plead innocent could he, seen by millions. There was no defence, he had to plead guilty. He could have been before the beak, pled, and been banged up in an hour. The reason it took as long as it did was, I believe, the probation service had to be consulted and they had to have their dinner!*
*The bit about their dinner is a joke.

Indeed and my guess is, get this bloke away quick before somebody looks for a bit of pay back.

It happens regularly when people plead guilty to, relatively, minor offences.

Solihull hospital is in Sheldon so CD is a Brummie...

Get your point, I wouldn't describe that as a minor offence, but that's just me.

Since when is Solihull hospital in Sheldon? Solihull hospital is B91 and Sheldon is B26. I live in Damson Wood B92 which is pretty much bang in between Solihull town centre and the Wheatsheaf crossroads. Although I am a bit woah and bit waayy as I grew up on the mean streets of Hobs Moat. If you were born and raised in Solihull you are still a Brummie as it has a Birmingham post code.

Stop trying to spoil me winding up CD!!!

Aye, Petrov cross looking for Gabby and Agent Ridgewell couldn’t help himself, the rascal.
-
We are talking about 2 different games and goals now - Nov 2007 our first was a Ridgewell og from a Peteov cross, Gabby with the late winner. Jan 2011 Collins equalised and its his goal albeit a slight deflection apparently. 1 1 final score.

I sometimes watch this guys blogs - some are a bit naff. However this one is worth a watch. Especially at 5.05 in - Tommy Elphick in the away fans -first I knew about it. Looks ecstatic with the goal.
The most interesting footage though is at 5.55 - proper footage of the steward attacking Grealish and hourihane. Not just that knee in the back. Truly shows him up in an astonishingly bad light.

Somebody on here described them as the inbetweeners at Villa matches and that description perfect.
