Gary Gardner - including loan to Coventry

[LeeB]

Isn't that big, bold, ugly fella in the sky blue polo shirt the same chap that held up the 'We'll be back' sign at Villa Park the day we sent them down?

Not even the slightest resemblance to him whatsoever.
It is a club in total chaos with the ex chairman now making himself head of football operations and in the dressing room before and at half timre as well as in the dug out-if thorn had any pride he would resign rather than be a puppet.

"My arseholes, my inbreds,
 A thorn in my pride..."

I think I'd shed more tears for the rags than this lot.

Have we got an expected arrival time as yet for their return?

Ask again when hell freezes over!

That was spectacularly badly handled by the police, what ever the rights and wrongs of it they made it worse with their intervention.

It appears it all started because one copper was not wearing his number. The bloke that made all the fuss has rather than being penalised, been given a three year ban from watching that shite.

We'll see Jesus again before them.

Well Gardner has gone to Coventry on loan for some experience and first team football. He is certainly getting an experience !! When he comes back to Villa park, it will feel like a Wacky Wherehouse !! people shouting and smiling for there team, with an occasional hug to celebrate if there team score. Thinking about it if we get some terrible results, come Jan it might not be much different :-)))

The banner said SISU OUT.I work with a few Cov fans.
I am not going to moan about our club a the moment when you here what that lot are going through.

Were you there? The banner you see taken out is not the same banner that you see in the clip. They have already got a banner in their hands then, the camera sweeps to another banner, then it sweeps back to the banner in the hand again. TBH I don't doubt it said SISU out, just saying we don't know for sure. But surely as employees at the club, the stewards would have to take orders on removing banners or have to quit.

That video footage is shocking.  I personally dont think the police did anything wrong at first.  clearly he was asking the fan to leave and he started kicking off big style.  What ever was being said resulted in the police being heavy handed with him then the rest of the knob heads join in and then start pushing people down the stairs which could have injured a few people including their own fans.  I have no sympathy for them.  They are lucky the police are not like the police in europe i.e. Turkey or Greece where they wuld have have a batten around their heads.

Brave bunch of meatheads. Bet they wont be so lairy when they get the early morning visit.

[Rick_avfc]

I love the way they all give it loads as they are dragging one of the fans out.  You see one of them flick the coppers hat off and then hide!  what a wet!  if youre gonna have the balls to do that then he might as well stand there and let it be known it was him doing it.  Brainless thugs.

The police are there for crowd control, they managed to do the opposite.

By the looks of it, they asked the guy to leave and then he started to become confrontational so they had to use force to get him out.  No doubt he probably used profanity as well which police do not stand for especially if it is aimed at them so im sorry, the mug deserved to be dragged out as he was not leaving when asked.

How can a hanful of police control a bunch of mindless thugs charging at them down the stairs?
