The Aston Villa vs Bournemouth life support machine post match moan

[Des Little]

I just don't get it. Yes the Dad was daft to take the lad with him on the Holte, but there really wasn't much at stake in the game and it's bloody Bournemouth. It's a completely different issue I'd it were a) Blues/Albion or b) a game with something at stake - it wasn't - It was a classic dead rubber.

Some people need to think on.

My uncle took me to the 77 quarter final at OT and I wore my scarf with pride in the north stand paddock,
not a wrong word was said! He was a united fan though.

That's what i'm saying, the dad was stupid. I'm disagreeing with the " deserves hanging and disembowelment are too good" as no one said anything close to that. Just that it's stupid.

Has there been any suggestion that either of them were ill treated by Villa fans ?

There were a few Bournmouth fans in the Tavern afterward, they hadn't been hanged when I left. I'm not sure anyone cares enough now.

Presumably someone had complained otherwise they would, equally presumably, have been left alone.

I had a chat outside Tesco with a few typical looking Scouse scallies before the Everton game. Perfectly fine lads and we had a good chat for five. Most of us can converse with each other fine, sadly there are always twats. And that includes us.

Tim Sherwood on MOTD2. Should be good for a laugh.

Trevor Sinclair said earlier today that Sherwood is a great manager and Villa would be fine if they still had him. All makes sense now.

[Steve67]

They are going to do a feature on Villa. Oh joy!

It's a perennial problem and I don't understand why it seems to be getting worse. Even a few years ago keep quiet and you were fine, yet now it seems that the other team's supporters are treated like they have some sort of contagion.

Becouse were pretty shit at the moment & it's an easy target to channel some anger/frustration at

Picking on a six year old. Classy.

Unfortunately all clubs have that type

That's what I don't get.

Travel on the same train as them, drink with them before the game, drink with them after the game - all no problem.

Have one dare to sit near you at the match - grrrrrrrr, scum, throw them out.

It's a cultural thing isn't it. I've never complained or had a go at away fans in the home after myself but football is a sport which makes a point of segregating fans.

Whether football should get over its hooligan past is one thing but it's not there yet. Given that fact a dad has got to have a bit of common sense and tell his lad he can't wear his kit in the home end because the tickets were bought on that basis.

To balance the fan behaviour debate, over the years I have experienced numerically more violence or threats of violence from Villa fans than opposition fans. The most recent one was the incident I related at Norwich this season when I tried to stop a Villa fan kicking a skip so he started kicking me instead.  The point I am making supports Mr Shin's view that in the football mix there are potentially threatening situations everywhere, you just have to use common sense to avoid them especially when emotions are running high.

It was quite intersting, I think Tim was a bit uncomfortable with it, but again spoke well of us and backed us to come straight back.  he was also impressed with the football board and you got the feeling he was itching to say "I wish they were in place while I was there"

so bournemouth fans are ok in the holte but if there was something at stake ie the losers got relegated then they wouldnt?

the clue is in the bit where it says home supporters only

i might take some marshmallows to throw at the next home game as they wont hurt anyone and ill just forget the bit in the t & c that says dont throw missiles
