Did anyone hear the terrible news about an ex blues player getting a real hiding after the match??? You may remember him.. Once lifted his shirt with a message for Villa in some tinpot trophy final at wembley... Couldn't have happened to a nicer fella.

More information please - this deserves it's own thread.

Our fans aren't as innocent as some of you like to think. Our fans attacked and ran their fans at the Clements pub after the game, a fight broke out and our fans chased theirs while the rest of our fans smashed the pub up until the police arrived and moved our fans. Our fans ran them all over Digbeth all night.

I'm not condoning violence but it makes me laugh when some people slate their fans for being thugs and blame it all on them.

That was the group that ended up getting escorted to Dudeston, there must have been a few 100 people in that escort.

There was an instance where about 4-5 blues fans came walking in the opposite direction to us, one of them gobbed of towards the Villa fans then got set upon as a result. His mate saved him and managed to drag him away.

The police also managed to push the escort right into a group of Blues fans where both sides clashed.

Apparently took a real beating and may have a broken arm! I think he was in the Clements....

Every cloud has a silver lining.

What could be more stupid than smashing up toilets in the away end? Being filmed smashing up toilets. It's too depressing to embed.

It doesn't matter who, when, how or why, it's wrong.

Regardless of who he is, it's still out of order.

I hope West Midlands finest see this and deal with appropriately.

You would have thought given the history of toilet bashing they would have put one policeman on duty somewhere "near" the toilets.  Or would that require too much planning,

Just out of interest, did they do over the ladies toilets as well?   Or did you cross your legs the whole evening and not find out?

The ladies toilets were ok at half-time.  There was a steward at the entrance when I went in but when I was coming out he'd obviously gone as the men just came barging in to use our toilets.

Ah, so the tactic is to smash up the blokes toilets and then scramble to use the ladies when they realise they've left themselves nowhere to relieve themselves.

It was a lot easier in the Tilton terrace, you just pissed where you were standing.  (I didn't, but evidently hundreds of others did).

This clip at about 8:10 in shows them throwing things from their own end.

That's about right.  And why, on such a freezing cold night, would they want to be wading through all that water that they created when smashing up the toilets?
