Aston Villa v Celtic Post-Match Thread

[Brend'Watkins]

I felt an uneasy level of intimidation in the atmosphere once Celtic scored. Not at the levels that we get for the Blues games but it was there none the less & particularly prevalent amongst the 50+ brigade. 

As I qualify in the 50+ brigade I can say where I was in the lower Holte there was very little intimidation when they scored.  A lot of annoyance though and debate as to who was at fault. It didn't even register on the 03.03.03 scale.

Using republican songs is wrong in any context

Why?

Maybe I should have been clearer. Where it's intention is solely to cause offence.

The various Union Jacks there last night which aren't normally brought to Villa matches presumably were also only there to cause offence though.

Who would be offended by a republican song though apart from groupies of King Chuck. I think after years of colonialism and the following generational trauma a few songs are fair enough.

Not at a football match though. They're bound to antagonize some people.  I couldn't hear what the Celtic fans were singing but assumed it was some republican song and is what started some numbers in the Holte singing God save the King. The EDL lad behind me finished the rendition with "No Surrender" which made me laugh.

Brother was getting a programme outside the Holte pub and a group of young lads coming up singing No Surrender to the IRA, what made me laugh one was wearing a half and half scarf

I guess it depends on the song. The one I hear them singing the most is The Fields of Athenry which is I suppose republican but how can anybody be offended about people singing about their ancestor’s being starved.

Some people maybe losing their seats due to selling on to Celtic assuming not GA+ direct from club, then some losing their seats for our thugs as well.

Villa in the home stands “we sit where we want, we sit where we want…” Look at us a huge club, Celtic do it and it’s the end of the world

And moaning like F, when the stewards give them a push at away games

Listening to talk sport some said they purchased memberships and done it that way

I reckon a couple of people will be getting the knock on the door soon

Any fucker that kicks someone in the head on the deck should serve some time.

Some right brave boys there

What a load of absolute ****** they are.  I hope they go to jail.

I wonder if stewards quietly pass on seat numbers ?

[markeeeebeeee2005]

The stewards deserve some credit for having to deal with that crap. It’s mega disrespectful to them to have limbs flailing all over them while they’re trying to do their job of keeping people safe, probably for not much cash. Some of them will have gone home with bruises from a days work. The pricks should be made to write an apology.

Wholeheartedly agree, looking from the lower holte it did look they were slow to react, couldn't understand why the police weren't involved considering the so called amount on duty

About 4 minutes before our third, they were singing some shite and part way through shouted 'I R A'. That's not about a famine, it's a direct provocation in a city that never got closure from IRA terrorism..

Without having heard the song/ lyrics (I watched in a pub) I think I broadly agree with you.

Unfortunately that will never change concerning both Glasgow clubs and include hearts in with them and also certain clubs in Northern Ireland
