No away fans

[PeterWithe]

Are those the same kind of flares you can buy on Amazon for a tenner or so, or something different? If the latter how do they get them on the planes over?

I did start looking on Amazon then saw one of them described as 'perfect for gender reveal parties' then got so irked I had to close the window down.

Fucking Geordies. I knew it.

The Polish guy who works in my building kind of shrugged his shoulders and said you have to expect a bit of trouble with football fans.

I think that may have been the case30/40 years ago here, but we live in a different world now.

Poland are 30/40 years behind us in terms of football "hooliganism" , it's in its renaissance period over there

Imagine being so utterly brain dead, you punch a police horse.

It would appear that Legia are utterly brain dead from top to bottom...

As the saying goes, "the fish rots from the head down."

I'll bet it wasn't very happy about it either......

Most of the ones used won't be the type you get on Amazon etc. The main ones you can buy over here are the type used in stuff like paintball. But the strongest ones are the types you buy in Europe. We used to do some pyro down Bromsgrove a few years ago and one of the lads used to bring them over, mainly from Poland. We mainly did smokes rather than flares though.

didn't that happen in Newcastle

Is this a fair summary?

Legia were given tickets to distribute but refused.

The coach park was chose to be the best venue for distribution.

For those without tickets a big screen was also put on there to create an effective "fanzone"

Rather than comply supporters attacked police resulting in a police woman set on fire, three other injuries and injuries to horses and dogs.

Other supporters through projectiles at Villa supporters inside the ground.

Surely pretty straightforward statement for AVFC and WMP to Uefa?

Shocking if true, but I've not heard this from elsewhere.

Its on the Daily Mail website, with pics, looks like a flare thrown set fire to his/her trousers.

I see, Daily Mail and inferior foreigners, seems to fit whether true or not.

[martin o`who??]

Talk sport this morning were bemoaning the fact that they had come all that way for nuthin - completely missing the fact that most of them live in Erdington. I jumped on a bus from town six oclock-ish, half way through Newtown about twenty "military-age males" as the phrase goes, jumped on, no colours apart from one who had a scarf, none of them paid and nearly all had bottles of Vodka in their hands. To be fair, they were no bother - thankfully - because i was stood right in the middle of them in a Villa scarf. Their hierachy covered themselves in glory by refusing point-blank to condemn the fucking idiots that did the damage - which was most of them from what i've heard. Also hearing the Witton Arms got smashed to fuck as well.
Do us a favour Piotr - stick to plumbing....

Ah yes the Polish, they’re all plumbers, car washers and Spitfire pilots.
Cut the racial stereotypes can we please. Thanks.

[martin o`who??]

Has anyone found out where they all went to after the match? Didn't see a single one of the post-game.

fruit picking - thats all some of them are good for...

[AV84]

Violence from away fans is no excuse for casual racism.

Not sure they showed our lot up but they were without doubt skilled & brave pilots along with the 1st Independent Parachute Brigade at Operation Market Garden who also fought with skill and bravery and took heavy losses.
