Well I think I will rethink my attendance to the game now, don't think I will bother, very sad day.

So because you can't get to protest you're not going to bother going to the match?

No because I wouldn't want to be in that kind of potential atmosphere when one of the lads has got that kind of problem, very simple really.

In other words there should be no kind of protest at all and that was one of the primary reasons  of me going, as for seeing Villa under McLiesh, not a chance in hell, wouldn't waste the money.

Personally if you can't put it behind you for our captain maybe you should stay the fuck away for good!

A Stan Petrov support banner instead of some pointless anti-McLeish banner would be so much more powerful tomorrow against Chelsea.

Managers come and go, succeed or fail, leave dynasties or messes behind them, but the football club carries on. It's time to show everybody, and particularly Stan, that we at this club are made of stronger stuff.

Could you not rise above these thoughts to show support for our captain ??

Will others, that's the point I'm making, and if there is any doubt that the protest could still go ahead then the game should be called of, think about it this has been just announced on the eve of the game.

You're not suggesting that the club chose to announce this today to distract from the protest are you?

Fuck me Risso, that's exactly what he is suggesting. He probably thinks Petrov will come out of a cake at half time and tell everyone it was a joke and to visit the club shop on the way home. What an insensitive moron.

The media will focus on Villa Park tomorrow ....lets show the support for the Club to country ...currently Villa is seen as a totally divided club - lets get behind stan and the team tomorrow.

Anyone who wishes to take protests just stay away - this is not the time

Lets ensure we are the 12th man tomorrow and get the 3 points we need - I'm sure thats the best treatment for Stan for starters

Get well Stan you have been a credit to yourself and the Club despite the many moaners - 3 points Saturday !

Well, I hoped I was misreading it, disappointing that somebody could hold that view.

In fairness, while I think the majority of his posts are complete jokes and the fact he won't go tomorrow to support Stan or Villa is disgraceful. What I think he means is will others choose not to protest, or will the braindead few carry on regardless?
And the comment about the eve of the game is because it's so close will everyone who was planning to protest know that's it's been called off.

That's my interpretation anyway.

The anti-McLeish protests are irrelevant tomorrow.  McLeish can wait for another day.

We are up against a rejuvenated Chelsea, and 6-7 of our own youth players will probably be starting.  They'll be trying to get a result for Stan, we should be supporting them with everything we've got in our lungs.

Perhaps the protest could be postponed in light of our captain's plight? Footballing matters don't strike me as the most important display we, as fans, could make at the present time. I think more appropriate would be banners in support of Stan and making a huge noise inside VP.

Well said.

Let's get behind the team and show our support and affection for Stan, the Country's media will be watching, let's show them what a real football club is all about.

Spot on, Fletch.

Quite right.

I must be reading it differently, but my interpretation of it is that Villanation doesn't want to be around a potential atmosphere where some people are protesting (and are doing so because they haven't heard the news about stan as it was only announced on the eve of the game). I don't see him making up conspiracy theories.....

Ger: That's exactly my point, however as it happens latest is the protest have been called of, and quite rightly so and I'm up to the game in what should now be an appropriate atmosphere under the new circumstances we have.

Good to see someone actually bothers to read a post instead of jumping to conclusions or building all kinds of theories around something.
