Amazing that they're always stupid enough to film themselves doing it and then post it on the internet.

Some replies said that wasn’t the incident.

From the BBC
Supt Melita Worswick, of Lancashire Police, said: "This incident occurred when a great deal of traffic was leaving the area following the football match between Burnley and Aston Villa.

Brexit 1-3 Villa

Birmingham voted Leave, so technically it’s Brexit 1 - Brexit 3.

Lovely stuff. I was at Wembley yesterday for a wrestling event, so only caught the result. Impressive to go up there and win comfortably.

A lot of pearl-clutching going on here. It's just fancunter. We sing the national anthem at them, they throw bricks at our players and staff. That's what fancunter is. We accuse Liverpool fans of being 'always the victim', Burnley fans hire a plane to deliver racist messages. It's all just fancuntery, you woke snowflake weirdos.

Think there is a bit of a difference between singing the national anthem at a match to wind Scots and scousers up, and throwing bricks at the windows of a team coach as it motors down a main road isn't there?

Why do we want to 'wind up' fans of other clubs?

There's a difference between wankery and violence, strikes me as a pretty important difference not to collapse!

Also - this isn't even a tit-for-tat attack on fans but a brick at the team, on the motorway! People could've died! Paddy, tell me you're on the windup here, this is not the same as singing a song.

Technically but while 50.4% voted leave in Birmingham it was 66.6% in Burnley.

It’s been a thing for all of my decades of going to football, from fans of every single club, so not really a question for this match as a stand alone.

In the early years of this century, the citizens of Burnley regularly elected BNP councillors. Since then, they've lurched further right.

What’s with the Brexit obsession?

I’d imagine the majority of our supporters voted for it as well.

[lovejoy]

Well, as has been said before, every fan base has their own set of morons.

[Bad English]

As long as I draw breath I will curse Brexit.

I couldn’t give a fuck how the denizens of Burnley voted or for that matter those of Birmingham. What did strike me about the place though was how poor the place felt, the lack of money that seemed to permeate the public realm. For a poor Northern mill town though in football terms they punch above their weight to be fair to them.

Watched the highlights on MOTD2. If only Ollie could not hit the keeper from point blank range the scoreline would have been epic.

Olsen’s attempt to save their goal was odd. Was he even at full stretch?

The midfield of McGinn, Kamara & Luiz seems to have everything. At this rate Tielemens & Ramsey will have to be patient, when JJ is fit that is.

Felt Pau could have been a touch more physical for their goal but thought he had a good game.

Carlos has had a couple of free headers from corners. He’ll soon nod one in.

I think we already look much better than last season, which must be a concern for the rest of the division.

Olsen’s attempt to save their goal was odd. Was he even at full stretch?

I've watched it a couple of times and it does like he jumps and then doesn't do anything with his arms, but it's hard to know how fast/far the ball was going past him, maybe he wasn't getting it anyway. He made a decent save later on though, and really wasn't that troubled by them.

I think we need to be very string in defence when Olsen is playing, but I think we're capable of that. My worry with him as backup would really only be if Emi got injured in the warmup or something. I think a full week of training knowing Olsen is playing would allow everyone to prepare adequately.
