SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

[Hoppo]

I actually said to one of the Coppers ' I only popped out to Morrison's' and he let me out..

Can I put up what I know/heard.. it was to do with a hit and run a few weeks ago, a revenge attack.

Edited as there's no need for posting that, especially their name. The world of Twitter etc is full of knobs.

IF WMP had treated everyone as they did in the 70s and 80s yesterday, then it would have been every man, woman and child for themselves as we left the ground

WMP achieved there objective there was no major disorder, and no running battles on the streets, so they will look at this as the best result they could of hoped for.

I did not agree with the way we were treated at the end of the game but we got home safely.

The waiting in the stand, then in the concourse, then in the compound and then at regular points along a very circuitous route into the city centre was extremely tedious but the Villa fans were patient and well behaved. Like you, I thought the exercise was excessively cautious, but we have to agree that the police achieved what they set out to do.

 Peterwithesshin; Why shouldn't scum like that need to be named and shamed? Do you feel that it is it ok to make comments where you laugh at the possibility that someone is crippled, possibly for the rest of his career?

Inside out in half an hour on bbc WM (sky ch 959) for those living elsewhere, is following the police at yesterdays match, Ill make my own mind up.
Should be good viewing.

apart from when the noses scored , don't you think they were rather subdued.

The whole atmosphere seemed a bit subdued to be honest, early kick off time, reduced away support, 10k home fans showing up purely for Villa.

Very. As I said they were silent first half after the first 10-15 minutes, then piped up for 5-10 minutes after their goal and then back to near silence. The atmosphere was very flat and not at all intimidating from either side. I said it was the quietest away end we have had anywhere in the last 10 years and I stand by that, we were dreadful. The atmosphere was miles better from both sides in the cup game at VP last season, just shows what a difference kick off time and booze makes.

Both sides look rather silly after bigging our derby up and telling the rest of the country how fiery and fierce it is. All I've seen on Twitter and all I've had people saying to me today is how poor it was, there was no edge, atmosphere was crap etc.

South Wales Police were there yesterday too.

I've never seen so much police in all my days.

Just watched that Inside Out, the absolute state of the majority of those Blues fans!

Perhaps you could ring your friends in the ticket office and tell them not to sell to anyone who won't make a noise.

Ridiculous, aren't they. Shuffling sacks of shit and hate.
