SHA 1 Aston Villa 1 Post match thread.

They said on the news that whilst the Villa fans were kept behind for an hour in the ground there were still quite a few home fans waiting (behind police) to shout things at the Villa fans.

Have these people got lives? Incredibly sad individuals.

They're knuckledraggers. It's what their lives are all about.

They really dislike us a lot more than we care about them.

We really don't care about them, that's why we have a 1142 page thread about them on this very website.

Yep, despite what we like to think for many the obsession goes both ways.  There's are also twats both sides of the fence as well I'm afraid.  You've only got to think back to that 'north Birmingham' Billy Big-bollocks poster who genuinely thought his neanderthal support was the heart and soul of the club.

I do find some of the Blues support very thuggish (friend of mine and his 13 year old son got sworn and spat at) but don't doubt we have our own morons.

We definitely do, we're far from perfect. But their support has more than most, and this game brings out that thuggish element in them like no other. Glad it's over, I hate going to their place and hopefully we can go up this season and not face them for a long, long time.

We have plenty of idiots, especially away from home but most of them seem to be more concerned with getting pissed and a bit rowdy rather than go looking for trouble.

SHA just seem to have a higher percentage than most clubs of anti social, bullying thugs. I know a normal, decent nose who reckons 10% of their away support are nutters who are up for trouble, but like he says, if they take 2k away then 200 nutters is still a sizeable number. He also has a mate who has decided to stop following them away now as he was so disgusted by the behaviour of SHA fans at Forest the other week.

I've told this before but a mate of the old man went to watch them play Millwall in that play off game when they rioted outside, they were herded up and put on the train back to New St, despite the fact that he had driven down and his car was in the sidestreets outside the Den. He had to go back the next day to get it.

I wonder how many times a day that the average knuckledragger utters those immortal words: "s#%? on duh Villuh?

I know a few who sign text messages KRO, SOTV. One in particular signs birthday and Christmas cards like it.

"Dear Mom, Happy Birthday love Wayne, Waynetta, Trevor, Stern and Christophe xx KRO, SOTV"

I was at that game at Elland Road as I was at Leeds Uni at the time.

Unfortunately that still didn't weed out all of Millwall's scumbags, as a few of them held up a Turkey flag to mock Leeds fans about the stabbings in Istanbul from a few years earlier. Queue a handful of Leeds fans getting chucked out for trying to force their way in to the away end.

It seems Barry Lose is more than just a parody.

Apologies if this has already been discussed but speaking as a TV watcher on Sunday :

At the time there seemed to be a big hoo hah as to whether Donaldson's header was in (which it wasn't - only 3/4 of the ball at the most was behind the line!)  However, did anyone else think he was offside anyway - I muttered offside to myself as he headed, but have I missed something because I've not heard anyone mention it, either after the game on tv or on here.

Couldn't tell as I was behind the goal, but I did it look to me that Adomah was pushed from behind at the other end when he broke away straight after. How did that look on tele? And was it inside the box? Either a penalty or them down to 10 men if outside the box if he was.

There were small groups of blue-shirted people shouting abuse along our route but the police explained that the reason why they kept us waiting for so long was that there was a planned ambush which had to be dispersed.

The thing is, there was virtually no trouble so the police and clubs will continue with the ridiculous reduced away allocations for both sides. Small Heath fans can also look forward to being locked in and then taken on a magical mystery tour like we were.

I don't mind the reduced allocation if it works both ways.  I have a sneaking suspicion that these nuggets will be given the normal 3,000 as our ground is bigger.

Personally, I think the coaches are a good idea.  Blues started it, despite what they say now but who cares?.  It enables fans to meet up and have a few beers peacefully and then go in and out of the away ground with little fuss.  99% of fans just want to go to watch the game, very few want trouble to break out and when it does, it is usually just a lot of posturing and throwing things at the police, rather than any actual trading of blows.  What is the point?  All that could be avoided by insisting that the away team get coaches in and out.

I'm pretty sure I saw once that Sunderland fans could only access match tickets for Newcastle if they traveled there on special trains.  It has to be better than a long lock in, followed by the scenic walk back into town via Duddleston?

Blues will only get 2000, it was agreed before the start of the season.

It was outside the box, and it was the keeper who came out and clattered him without touching the ball, so yes they were very lucky the ref gave nothing at all.

Are we limited to 23,000 too?!
