David Gold's car attacked outside the King Edward.

[pauliewalnuts]

I honestly can't believe that anyone thinks that Gold deserves more than a few choice words on an internet message board and 'the wankers' at a game. To try to justify a bottle through a window and the injury that may have caused is mental.

And being a bottle-throwing twat has got nothing to do with being a Villa fan.

I can't recall reading one single post where anyone tries to justify it.

Try Percy's just above, which seems to suggest it is wrong to criticise the way people "support the team", which seems to suggest he thinks it is ok (or certainly not something we should criticise)

Are you fucking kidding me?

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.

If someone like Gold makes statements,he should be mindful of the impact that these statements have on people & should act with responsibility.

That's off the last couple of pages. Haven't gone back to where this bullshit started falling from your mouth.

Maybe you're right though. Maybe he IS a good fan and it's just his way of spurring the team on.
I can imagine that K-Mac would very much like to run CCTV footage of this to get the lads up for the Vienna match.

I took Percy's comment as being tongue in cheek more than anything else.

Wow, apparently this was now a "brush with death" according to The Sun!!

DAVID GOLD last night spoke of his terrifying brush with death at the hands of two 'Villa monsters'.

[Percy McCarthy]

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.

Well, except for the fact that he is less of a supporter than you, me, the disabled bloke up the road and the Muslim from round the corner because he thinks it's acceptable to chuck bottles at the cars of people he doesn't like.  Or are you saying he should have the right to do that?

He was away from the ground-How he behaves is up to him.He is still just as much a supporter as anyone else.In fact I'll go further-compared to a lot on here,he is more of a supporter because he actualy goes down & watchches the team.

If only he could pair that attendance at the ground and support for the team with a bit of "not throwing bottles at cars", I can't help thinking that maybe then he'd be a good a supporter as the many thousands who were there yesterday and managed not to try to assault anybody.

Do you not accept,or understand that out of the many thousands who were there yesterday that a few will break the law?

If you were to hold a pop concert in which many thousands attended,do you think it would be drug free?

You go on about the tabloid press slating Villa yet you lot on here seem to thrive on the slightest fracture of the law that can be attributed to Villa fans

Yes, I do understand it, no i wouldn't expect it to be drug free, and no, I am not thriving on anything, I'm just suggesting that it is highly, highly twattish to throw a bottle at a car.

I fully understand it happens. Lots of thing happen which aren't right or acceptable, though, and this is one of them.

I thought we'd got past criticising the way people choose to support the club.

Go on, then, tell me how throwing a bottle at David Gold's car is "supporting the club"?

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark, ridiculing the oft-heard assertion that somebody who hasn't missed a game for ten years is not a 'better fan' than someone who never goes, but just sits at home in front of a computer criticising almost everything about the club they 'support'.

This has really apalled me to be honest.

I sat with David Gold for a chat after the game and have nothing but positive things to say about the way he was.

He had time for everyone, unlike his counterpart Mr Sullivan.

I can also add Karen Brady was really nice too, in both ways.

What are you saying ? I hope our facilities at VP were not being used as a film set?
Thats just a revenue stream too far.

Was he still calling the General a Corporal?

Those quotes do not try to justify the kids actions though do they?

I thought you would of learned after your last clueless exchanges with me that I never spout bullshit.

[mon has gone]

As a newby..I will tread carefully.
Throwing bottles  is out of order.
But does it warrant the press D.G has whipped up against our club.
Did VILLA go running to the press with all the scums fans mister meaners over the years
Being terrified for your life ... Mr Gold .. try being a visiting supporter @  yr old stomping ground !!!

[Apyadg]

Their mister meaners?

[Bernie Gallacher]

Whilst not condoning what happened, Think Gold could have used more common sense. Not exactly bright rolling up in your roller as the ex chairman of our hated rivals with lots of pissed up Villa fans who had been on it all day outside the pub, was it? It is a fact of life that if I turned up in a Villa top outside the Garrison Tavern on a Blues home match day I would be likely to get a smack - I'm a nobody but would take sensible precautions not to do it. You would think Gold would have know better in his position.

I don't believe I've ever attempted to tie your so-called  mind up in knots before. Not that I'd remember as it's arguing with a complete moron is hardly something worth keeping track of.

And as for you never spouting bullshit, well, this thread would totally and utterly disprove that. Not that you'll see it though, with your head up your arse.

We can debate how this incident is an indicment of Villa fans and wider society but bollocks to that.

David Gold and admittedly more so his associate spouted endless drivel and provocative opinions before the derby matches from the word go, to hype up interest and no doubt get a few more of the undead off their arses. As businessmen they indentified that their poxy clubs only driving force was trying to beat the Villa and they did what they could to whip up the rabble.

Well the upshot of that in todays society, and given the passions that run high with football,is that some dickhead somewhere will take an opportunity to do something stupid and this will happen.

The point that the perpetrators were probably the same target audience for his filty daily rag, that prints lurid details of rape cases amongst other things poses some interesting questions for muliti-miliionaire David Gold to ask himself.

Anyway, if Saturdays performance is much to go by, his own fans wont be long behind in thowing shit his way.
