I remember getting into a heated argument with someone I worked with about the song Road Rage by Catatonia. I didn't know it but she was related to Lee and the family were looking to get the song banned because they said it glorified the murder.

As much as I am definately not in favour of disrespecting the death of a man, there are so many tragic things that happen worldwide, not just in this country.   To attempt to ban a song is absolutely crazy.  May be losing your mind.

The song is crass but then again most of Villa's songs are inane and lack any wit or charm.

One point though is I would gladly kick shit out of any bloke who hits a woman. Absolutely no excuse for it no matter what the provocation. if that guy had beaten her first then she should of got a medal not a prison sentence.

That's right, there are never - ever - EVER - any circumstances under which death is not an appropriate penalty for a man who touches a woman.

There are literally no circumstances, no matter how easy it might appear to be to think of some, under which even so much as a gentle rebuke would be permissable. I'm glad that fucking ****** is dead.

My ex used to work with his Mum and I also loosely knew a lot of his social circle at the time. It seems from what I heard that the violence was pretty one-sided and she was known as a bit of a nut-case. I take it she's out now then?

I always find that this subject does seem to bring the worst out of the Villa fans.

How do you feel towards women that hit men?

You're watching the wrong sport or living 60 years too late if you're looking for "charm" from a football chant. It's noise made to encourage or support your team or have a go at the opposition, it doesn't need to be "charming".

Wasn't the song originally sung in the 60s/70s about a criminal who had shot police? Fictionalised in the Jake Arnott novel "He Kills Coppers".

Sounds plausible.

The Harry Roberts song. Used to hear it down the Villa as well until around the early 90s. Not especially pleasant either, no matter how unreasonable the WMP were back then, before they sensibly decided to take a lower profile at most games.

Yes, used to here it a lot whenever they wanted to wind up the coppers, particularly late 70s.

I heard about that, it was all over the front page.

Harry Roberts. Originally a Millwall song.

You still see the ofdd bit of graffiti on South East London walls making reference to him.

Leeds still sing it. Think i seen one video a few months back of a child being filmed singing it by his dad!
