AZ Alkmaar Vs Aston Villa Post-Match

[Villatillidie25]

Ta TV...they're still twats at Sky though.

Not all of us

[OCD]

Apparently there was a kid with a sign asking Diaby for his shirt, and the ground staff took it off him before the game, which made him cry. Diaby found him after the game and gave him the shirt. How nice. (might be video on twitter but I can't access that these days)

the kid had a sign for Diaby but some fucking miserable steward made him take it down and might even have thrown it away from the video. The club helped him connect with Diaby after the game and he got a shirt from his hero. I nice ending.

It's a shame replica shirts cost £70 and it's come to kids having to take signs to games in order to get a Villa top.

That's a bit of a leap mate, he's not exactly begging for food because his parents can't afford to eat. Plus he was in the Netherlands, so his parents could obviously afford a match ticket, flight and hotel.

It was a nice touch by the club, but I hate those signs, and now there are going to be loads of similar X Factor style sob stories doing the rounds, I'm sure. It's just a sense of entitlement.

Tongue in cheek that one 😉

He probably isn’t getting a shirt from Diaby if the sign isn’t taken from him, thrown away causing him to cry and seen publicly through social media. 

[Bad English]

I'd give my shirt to the next kid along without a sign as they clearly don't have money for cardboard and marker pens.

[Risso]

Ah, apologies OCD!

Was he UK based? I questioned last night how he was in a section that appeared empty and unused. I wasn't sure if it was a ball boy tasked to retrieve balls from the empty terrace who overstepped the mark. Someone else in this or the other thread thought he was a local as well.

So the steward should be thanked, because if it wasn't for him the kid wouldn't have got the shirt.

I'm another who really hates those signs, I think clubs should be doing all they can to attract kids to games. Apart from the ones who bring those signs, they can fuck off.

This is how to deal with signs

That's the way!

They should have arrested that lad last night for going on to the pitch at the end!

I can't stand those signs. We've got some good publicity from it though. My solution would be snipers on top of the stands to take out the begging little shits.

[PeterWithe]

I see that the reason the steward took the sign away is that they are banned in Dutch grounds, that's the kind of small minded pettyness I can really get on board with.

from villanews:
Matty Cash – 4
Contributed tellingly to the Aston Villa attack throughout the game but was actually handed the worst average score of any Villa player [via SofaScore] at a dreadful 6.1/10 and his underlying stats prove why, winning just three of his eight duels at a worrying success rate of 38%, lost possession 11 times and completed just one dribble given he’s expected to provide Villa with the width on the right.

The beeb rated him 8.19/10. I thought he was somewhere in the middle.

That would strongly suggest he wasn't a local then.
