David Gold's car attacked outside the King Edward.

[spangley1812]

then im sure if some nose spills paint on your car, you will laugh about it as no-one got hurt................

Whatever our feelings towards gold and Sullivan- any act or threat of violence towards them is totally deplorable, whoever did this cannot call themselves a villa fan!

Villa fans are all different in personalities.Some are able to rise above Golds comments,some aren't-In much the same way that some booed Milner yesterday & some didn't.

Maybe it wasn't the right thing to do (although I find it funny & nobody got hurt) but you can't claim that the people who did this are any more or any less Villa fans than you are.

I disagree, just because nobody got hurt does not mean that another time they might not do something and someone does get hurt.
 They may do something that results in Villas reputation being tarnished and in my book that makes them less of a fan than the responsible majority.
 Im old enough to remember the 70s and 80s and while I will find plenty wrong with the game now, the big improvement is that Im not walking around looking over my shoulder to keep away from trouble.
 For me, the idiot who tried to throw a coin at Redknapp is less of a fan, the guy I saw who was chasing after a danish lad and kicking him in Odense two years back is less of a fan, and if it is right with this story they are lesser fans too.

Thats fine-I personaly do not give a monkeys if the likes of Gold or Redknapp do get hurt-They are in a privilged position & should learn to keep their big mouths shut.

Some Villa fans go to university,some go to work,others are law breakers-They are still all equal as Villa fans.

Like you,I also remember the 70's & 80's when football was predominately a working class sport.That was the culture I grew up in & whilst I agree that football is better now,I can still relate to certain feelings & emotions that are frowned upon by many.

Surely there's no "maybe" about that?

When is it the right thing to do to throw a bottle at someone's car?

It's okay for Randy to have a brick through his window next time he's in Manchester then?

Thats the second time you've used this irrelevent comparison.

You know as well as I do that Randy will never antagonise football fans like that piece of shit has.

When David Gold is inside

Boom Boom!

It's very relevant; Manchester City supporters may beg to differ. I will say what is irrelevant though - trying to justify this incident on the grounds that David Sullivan somehow deserved it.

Its nothing to do with Sullivan

David Gold entered the high profile football scene by his choice-He has antagonised Villa fans on more than one occasion with his comments.

If he wants to drive around VP in his RR after these comments then he is asking for trouble.

This is a fact of life & is why people hire minders & various other forms of security.

The last time something was reported as being thrown at a car at VP it resulted in the death of someone.

It's only fortunate that the car was fitted with toughened glass that the driver (an innocent man just doing his job) was not injured. The perpetrator wasn't to know this.

Mindless acts of violence or vandalism aren't a laughing matter.

Sorry, I should have said Gold but the point still stands. Nothing he has said could justify throwing a brick at his car.

You have to accept that not everyone thinks like you-or is blessed with the intelligence that you have.

I am not trying to justify this incident (although I wouldn't be bothered if Golds face had been written off) My point is that this is life in the UK in 2010 & is why people hire security-Especialy within football circles.

If someone like Gold makes statements,he should be mindful of the impact that these statements have on people & should act with responsibility.Football is after all still a sport that entices pasion & emotions in certain quaters.

I am not saying that throwing a brick through his window is the answer but I do think Gold should have been more responsible

[wozwebs]

He antagonised me by charging £45-48 to enter that shithole

I don't think anyone should have to go through life watching what they say, especially about football, in case some mindless prick decides he has been offended and wants to even the score. 

Gold may be a classless sleaze but he's basically harmless.  Which is more than can be said for the bottle-chucking imbecile who hasn't evolved far enough to be able to exercise any sort of self-restraint.

Thats great & I salute you for being above the "bottle chucking imbercile"

However-In this age of equality,"bottle chucking imberciles" should be afforded the same rights as everyone else.The fact remains that he is no less of a supporter than you,me,the disabled bloke up the road or the muslim from round the corner.
